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:

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:

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

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

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.’”

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.’”
