Jeremias 45

1 Det Ord, som Profeten Jeremias talte til Baruk, Nerias Søn, der han skrev disse Ord i en Bog efter Jeremias's Mund, i Judas Konge, Jojakims, Josias's Søns fjerde Aar:

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 Saa siger Herren, Israels Gud, om dig, Baruk:

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

3 Du sagde: Ak, ve mig! thi Herren har lagt Sorrig til min Smerte, jeg er træt af mit Suk og finder ingen Rolighed.

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 Saaledes skal du sige til ham: Saa siger Herren: Se, det, jeg byggede, nedbryder jeg, og det, jeg plantede, oprykker jeg, ja, dette ganske Land.

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 Og du, du søger dig store Ting! søg dem ej; thi se, jeg lader Ulykke komme over alt Kød, siger Herren, men dig vil jeg give dia Sjæl som Bytte paa hvert Sted, hvorhen du drager.

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.
