Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerijah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,

Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim kah a kum li dongah tonghma Jeremiah loh Neriah capa Barukh taengah ol a thui pah tih Jeremiah ka dongkah ol te cabu dongah tloep a daek.

2 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning thee, Baruch:

“Barukh nang taengah Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui.

3 Thou didst say, Woe unto me! for Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow; I am weary with my sighing, and I find no rest.

Anunae kai aih he, ka nganboh te BOEIPA loh kothae neh a koei coeng. Ka hueinah nen khaw ka kohnue tih duemnah ka hmuh pawh,” na ti mai.

4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, what I have built do I overthrow, and what I have planted I pluck up, even this whole land.

Amah taengah na thui bangla, BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Ka thoh tangtae te ka koengloeng tih ka phung tangtae he diklai tom he ka phuk coeng ne.

5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek [them] not; for behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou shalt go.

Nang loh namah ham a tanglue na tlap te tlap voel boeh. Pumsa boeih soah yoethae ka thoeng sak coeng. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Tedae na caeh nah hmuen takuem ah kutbuem la na hinglu te namah taengah kam paek,” a ti.
