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:

Kino kye kigambo nnabbi Yeremiya kye yagamba Baluki mutabani wa Neriya mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, nga Baluki amaze okuwandiika ku muzingo nti,

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

“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri gy’oli, ggwe Baluki nti,

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.’”

Wagamba nti, ‘Zinsanze. Mukama Katonda agasse ennaku ku bulumi bwange; mpweddemu endasi era zijjudde okusinda n’obutawummula.’”

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.

Mukama yagamba nti, “Mugambe bw’oti nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: ndimenya bye nazimba, nkuule bye nasimba, mu ggwanga lyonna.

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.”

Kale lwaki weenoonyeza ebintu ebirungi? Tobinoonya. Kubanga ndireeta akabi ku bantu bonna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, naye buli gy’olaga nnaakuyambanga osigale ng’oli mulamu.’”
