Jeremias 45

1 Det Ord, som Profeten Jeremias talte til Baruk, Nerijas Søn, da han optegnede alle disse Ord i en Bog efter Jeremias's Mund i Josias's Søns, Kong Jojakim af Judas, fjerde Regeringsaar:

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 Fordi Baruk siger: Ve mig, thi Kummer har HERREN føjet til min Smerte, jeg er træt af at sukke og finder ej Hvile!

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 skal du sige til ham: Saa siger HERREN: Se, hvad jeg har bygget, nedbryder jeg; hvad jeg har plantet, rykker jeg op; det gælder al Jorden —

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 søger store Ting for dig selv! Gør det ikke! Thi se, jeg sender Ulykke over alt Kød, lyder det fra HERREN. Men dig giver jeg dit Liv som Bytte, alle Vegne hvor du kommer.

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.
