< 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.)
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 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, azali koloba na yo Baruki:
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.”
Olobaki: ‹ Mawa na ngai! Yawe abakisi pasi mpe minyoko na ngai; nalembi likolo ya kolela mpe nazali lisusu na kimia te! ›
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.
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 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.
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. › »
