Jeremiah 45

1 This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

Uwu ndi uthenga umene mneneri Yeremiya anawuza Baruki mwana wa Neriya mʼchaka cha chinayi cha Yehoyakimu mwana wa mwana ya Yosiya kuti alembe mʼbuku.

2 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

“Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, akunena kwa iwe Baruki kuti:

3 You have said, ‘Woe is me because the LORD has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.’”

Iwe unati, ‘Kalanga ine! Yehova wawonjezera chisoni pa mavuto anga. Ine ndatopa ndi kubuwula ndipo sindikupeza mpumulo.’”

4 Thus Jeremiah was to say to Baruch: “This is what the LORD says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted.

Koma Yehova akukuwuza kuti, “Ndidzagwetsa chimene ndinamanga ndipo ndidzazula chimene ndinadzala. Ndidzachita zimenezi mʼdziko lonse.

5 But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the LORD, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”

Kodi tsono ukudzifunira wekha zinthu zazikulu? Usadzifunire. Pakuti ndidzagwetsa mavuto pa anthu onse, koma ndidzasunga moyo wako kulikonse kumene ungadzapite.”
