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,

Palavra que o profeta Jeremias falou a Baruque filho de Nerias, quando ele escrevia num livro aquelas palavras da boca de Jeremias, no quinto ano de Jeoaquim filho de Josias, rei de Judá, dizendo:

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

Assim diz o SENHOR Deus de Israel, quanto a ti, Baruque:

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.

Tu disseste: Ai de mim agora! Pois o SENHOR me acrescentou tristeza sobre minha dor; já estou cansado de meu gemido, e não acho descanso.

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;

Assim lhe dirás: Assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que o que edifiquei eu destruo; e o que plantei eu arranco, até toda esta terra.

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.

E tu buscarias para ti grandezas? Não [as] busques; porque eis que eu trago o mal sobre toda carne, diz o SENHOR, mas conservarei tua vida em todos os lugares para onde fores.
