Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these word in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

Mesaj ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te pale a Baruc, fis a Nérija, lè l te fin ekri pawòl sila yo nan yon liv selon dikte Jérémie, nan katriyèm ane Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a, lè l te di:

2 Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to thee, O Baruch:

Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la a ou menm, O Baruc:

3 Thou said, Woe is me now! For Jehovah has added sorrow to my pain. I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.

‘Ou te di: “Ah! Malè a mwen menm! Paske SENYÈ a te mete tristès nan doulè m; mwen fatige ak plent mwen yo e mwen pa jwenn repo.’”

4 Thus thou shall say to him, Thus says Jehovah: Behold, that which I have built I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, and this in the whole land.

“Se konsa ou dwe pale li, ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, sa ke M te bati a, Mwen prèt pou demoli li, e sa ke M te plante a, Mwen prèt pou rache li; sa vle di, tout peyi a.”

5 And do thou seek great things for thyself? Seek them not, for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, says Jehovah, but thy life I will give to thee for a prey in all places where thou go.

Men ou menm, èske w ap chache gwo bagay pou ou menm? Pa chache, paske gade byen, Mwen va mennen dezas sou tout chè,’ deklare SENYÈ a: “Men Mwen va kite ou chape ak lavi ou a, nenpòt kote ou ale.”
