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,

यर्मिया अगमवक्ताले नेरियाहका छोरा बारूकलाई भनेका वचन यही हो । यर्मियाको आवज सुनेर तिनले यी वचन एउटा मुट्ठोमा लेखे— यो यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको चौथो वर्ष थियो र तिनले भने,

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

“बारूक, परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वरले तिमीलाई यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः

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.

तैंले भनिस्, 'धिक्‍कार छ मलाई! किनकि परमप्रभुले मलाई पीडामा वेदना थप्‍नुभएको छ । मेरो सुस्केराले मलाई थकाएको छ । मैले विश्राम पाइन ।'

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;

तैंले उसलाई यसो भन्‍नुपर्छ, ‘परमप्रभु यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः हेर, जे मैले बनाएँ, त्‍यो म अब भत्काउँदैछु । जे मैले रोपेँ, त्‍यो अहिले म उखेल्दैछु— सारा पृथ्वीभरि नै म यसै गर्नेछु ।

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.

तर के तँचाहिं आफ्नै निम्ति ठुला-ठुला कुराहरूको आशा गर्छस्? त्यसको आशा नगर् । किनकि हेर्, सारा मानव-जातिमाथि विपत्ति आउँदैछ, यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो— तर तँ जहाँ जानेछस्, त्यहाँ म तेरो जीवन तेरो लुटको रूपमा तँलाई नै दिनेछु' ।”
