Jeremia 45

1 Ma e gima janabi Jeremia nonyiso Baruk wuod Neria e higa mar angʼwen ma Jehoyakim wuod Josia ruodh Juda, bangʼ ka Baruk ne osendiko e kitabu weche mane Jeremia wachone to ondiko:

After Jehoiakim the son of King Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, [I, ] Baruch, wrote down [all] the messages that the prophet Jeremiah had dictated to me. Then Jeremiah gave me a message. He said,

2 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, wachoni, in Baruk:

“Baruch, Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], has a message for you.

3 Ne iwacho ni, ‘Mano kaka awinjo malit! Jehova Nyasaye osemedona rem; arumo nikech rem mapek ma an-go kendo aonge gi yweyo.’”

You have said, ‘Terrible things [are happening] to me! I have endured much pain already. And now Yahweh is causing me to be very sad, in addition to my having pain. I am exhausted from my (groaning/being sad), and I am unable to rest!’

4 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho, “Wachne kama: ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Abiro muko gik moko duto masegero kendo pudho gik moko duto masepidho e piny ngima.

But [Baruch], this is what Yahweh says: ‘I will destroy this nation that I established. [This nation is like a tree] [MET] that I planted and that I will now pull up with its roots.

5 Bende inyalo dwaro gik madongo ne in owuon? Kik idwargi. Nimar anakel masira ne ji duto, Jehova Nyasaye wacho, to kamoro amora midhiyoe anares ngimani.’”

So, should you [RHQ] desire that people do things to honor you in a special way? Do not desire that. [It is true that] I will cause all these people to experience a great disaster, but wherever you go, I will protect you, and you will not be killed.’”
