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,

Verbum, quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Baruch filium Neriae, cum scripsisset verba haec in libro ex ore Ieremiae, anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, dicens:

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

Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad te Baruch:

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.

Dixisti: Vae misero mihi, quoniam addidit Dominus dolorem dolori meo: laboravi in gemitu meo, et requiem non inveni.

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.

Haec dicit Dominus: Sic dices ad eum: Ecce quos aedificavi, ego destruo: et quos plantavi, ego evello, et universam terram hanc.

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.

Et tu quaeris tibi grandia? noli quaerere: quia ecce ego adducam malum super omnem carnem, ait Dominus: et dabo tibi animam tuam in salutem in omnibus locis, ad quaecumque perrexeris.
