耶利米書 45

1 以下是耶肋米亞先知對乃黎雅的兒子巴路克說的話：他在猶大王約史雅的兒子約雅金第四年，由耶肋米亞口授，在卷冊上記錄了這些話：「

The word which he spoke Jeremiah the prophet to Baruch [the] son of Neriah when wrote he the words these on a scroll from [the] mouth of Jeremiah in the year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah saying.

2 上主，以色列的天主論及你，巴路克，這樣說：

Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel to you O Baruch.

3 你曾說：我多麼可憐! 因為上主在我的愁苦上還加添痛苦；我呻吟憔悴，得不到安寧!

You said woe! please to me for he has added Yahweh sorrow to pain my I am weary with groaning my and rest not I have found.

4 你應這樣對他說：上主這樣說：看! 我拆毀的，是我所建造的；我拔除的，是我所栽培的；我要打擊全地，

Thus - you will say to him thus he says Yahweh here! [that] which I have built I [am] about to tear down and [that] which I have planted I [am] about to pluck up and all the land it.

5 你還有什麼大事可為自己請求；不必請求了。看，我給一切血肉招來災禍──上主的斷語──至於你，不論你到什麼地方去，我必賜你獲得性命，如獲勝利品。」

And you you are seeking for yourself great [things] may not you seek [them] for here I [am] about to bring calamity on all flesh [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will give to you life your to plunder at all the places where you will go there.
