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:

Ũũ nĩguo mũnabii Jeremia eerire Baruku mũrũ wa Neria, mwaka-inĩ wa kana wa wathani wa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia mũthamaki wa Juda, thuutha wa Baruku kwandĩka ũhoro ũrĩa Jeremia aamwĩraga andĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo:

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

“Ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, arakwĩra wee Baruku:

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.’”

Woigire atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ ndĩ na haaro-ĩ! Jehova nĩanyongereire kĩeha igũrũ rĩa ruo rũrĩa ndĩ naruo; nĩnogetio nĩ gũcaaya, na ngaaga ũhurũko.’”

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 oigire atĩrĩ, “Mwĩre atĩrĩ: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngangʼaũrania kĩrĩa njakĩte, na munye kĩrĩa haandĩte bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ wothe.

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.”

No ũgĩcooke wĩcarĩrie maũndũ manene? Tiga kũmacaria. Nĩgũkorwo nĩngarehithĩria andũ othe mwanangĩko, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, no rĩrĩ, kũrĩa guothe ũrĩthiiaga nĩngatũma wĩthare ũhonokie muoyo waku.’”
