Jeremiah 45

1 The words which Jeremiah the prophet said to Baruch, the son of Neriah, when he put these words down in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; he said,

١ اَلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَارُوخَ بْنِ نِيرِيَّا عِنْدَ كَتَابَتِهِ هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ فِي سِفْرٍ عَنْ فَمِ إِرْمِيَا، فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلرَّابِعَةِ لِيَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلًا:

2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said of you, O Baruch:

٢ «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَكَ يَا بَارُوخُ:

3 You said, Sorrow is mine! for the Lord has given me sorrow in addition to my pain; I am tired with the sound of my sorrow, and I get no rest.

٣ قَدْ قُلْتَ: وَيْلٌ لِي لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ زَادَ حُزْنًا عَلَى أَلَمِي. قَدْ غُشِيَ عَلَيَّ في تَنَهُّدِي، وَلَمْ أَجِدْ رَاحَةً.

4 This is what you are to say to him: The Lord has said, Truly, the building which I put up will be broken down, and that which was planted by me will be uprooted, and this through all the land;

٤ «هَكَذَا تَقُولُ لَهُ: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَأَنَذَا أَهْدِمُ مَا بَنَيْتُهُ، وَأَقْتَلِعُ مَا غَرَسْتُهُ، وَكُلَّ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

5 And as for you, are you looking for great things for yourself? Have no desire for them: for truly I will send evil on all flesh, says the Lord: but your life I will keep safe from attack wherever you go.

٥ وَأَنْتَ فَهَلْ تَطْلُبُ لِنَفْسِكَ أُمُورًا عَظِيمَةً؟ لَا تَطْلُبُ! لِأَنِّي هَأَنَذَا جَالِبٌ شَرًّا عَلَى كُلِّ ذِي جَسَدٍ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأُعْطِيكَ نَفْسَكَ غَنِيمَةً فِي كُلِّ ٱلْمَوَاضِعِ ٱلَّتِي تَسِيرُ إِلَيْهَا».
