Jeremiah 45

1 This is what Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote out on a scroll these messages that Jeremiah dictated. (This happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah.)

Daytoy ti sao nga imbaga ni Jeremias a profeta kenni Baruc a putot ni Nerias. Napasamak daytoy idi insurat ni Baruc dagitoy a sasao iti maysa a nalukot a pagsuratan bayat nga idikdikta ni Jeremias—daytoy ket idi maika-uppat a tawen a panagturay ni Jehoiakim a putot ni Josias kas ari ti Juda, a kunana,

2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel kenka, Baruc:

3 You've been complaining, saying, “I'm in so much trouble because the Lord has given me sorrow to make my pain worse! I've worn myself out with my groans. I can't get any relief.”

Kinunam, 'Asiak pay, ta ninayunan ni Yahweh ti panagrigrigatko. Nabannogakon gapu iti panagas-asugko; awan iti inanak.'

4 This is what Jeremiah was told to say to Baruch: This is what the Lord says: Across the whole country I'm going to tear down what I have built and uproot what I have planted.

Kastoy ti rumbeng nga ibagam kenkuana: 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, rebrebbaek itan ti imbangonko. Parparutek itan ti inmulak. Mapasamak daytoy iti entero a daga.

5 So in your case, do you think you'll get special treatment? Stop looking for something like that! I'm going to bring disaster down on every living thing, declares the Lord. However, I promise you that your reward will be that you will continue living, wherever you go.

Ngem mangnamnamaka kadi iti nasasayaat a banbanag para iti bagim? Saanmo a namnamaen dayta. Ta dumngegka, um-umayen ti didigra iti amin a sangkataoan—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—ngem itedko kenka ti biagmo a kas banag a sinamsammo iti sadinoman a papanam.”'
