Jeremiah 45

1 The worde that Ieremiah the Prophet spake vnto Baruch the sonne of Neriah, when he had written these woordes in a booke at the mouth of Ieremiah, in the fourth yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, saying,

Uwu ndi uthenga umene mneneri Yeremiya anawuza Baruki mwana wa Neriya mʼchaka cha chinayi cha Yehoyakimu mwana wa mwana ya Yosiya kuti alembe mʼbuku.

2 Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel vnto thee, O Baruch,

“Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, akunena kwa iwe Baruki kuti:

3 Thou diddest say, Wo is me nowe: for the Lord hath laied sorrow vnto my sorrowe: I fainted in my mourning, and I can finde no rest.

Iwe unati, ‘Kalanga ine! Yehova wawonjezera chisoni pa mavuto anga. Ine ndatopa ndi kubuwula ndipo sindikupeza mpumulo.’”

4 Thus shalt thou say vnto him, The Lord sayeth thus, Behold, that which I haue built, will I destroy, and that which I haue planted, will I plucke vp, euen this whole lande.

Koma Yehova akukuwuza kuti, “Ndidzagwetsa chimene ndinamanga ndipo ndidzazula chimene ndinadzala. Ndidzachita zimenezi mʼdziko lonse.

5 And seekest thou great things for thy self? seeke them not: for beholde, I wil bring a plague vpon al flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life wil I giue thee for a pray in all places, whither thou goest.

Kodi tsono ukudzifunira wekha zinthu zazikulu? Usadzifunire. Pakuti ndidzagwetsa mavuto pa anthu onse, koma ndidzasunga moyo wako kulikonse kumene ungadzapite.”
