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,

Tango Baruki asilisaki kokoma kati na mokanda makambo oyo Jeremi atindaki ye, na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, maloba oyo:

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

« Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, azali koloba na yo Baruki:

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.

Olobaki: ‹ Mawa na ngai! Yawe abakisi pasi mpe minyoko na ngai; nalembi likolo ya kolela mpe nazali lisusu na kimia te! ›

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.

Kasi Yawe alobaki na ngai: Loba na ye: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakokweyisa biloko nyonso oyo natongaki mpe nakopikola biloko nyonso oyo nalonaki kati na mokili oyo.

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.

Boni, olingi koluka makambo minene mpo na yo moko? Te! Koluka yango te! Pamba te nakomemela bato nyonso pasi, elobi Yawe, kasi nakobikisa yo na bisika nyonso oyo okokende. › »
