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,

Ty enta’ Iirmeà mpitoky natao’e amy Baroke ana’ i Nerià, ie sinoki’e am-boke ao o tsara boak’ am-palie’ Iirmeà retoa, an-taom-paha-efa’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, manao ty hoe:

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

Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele ama’o ry Baroke: fa nanao ty hoe irehe:

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.

Feh’ohatse amako henane zao! fa nitovoña’ Iehovà fioremeñañe ty fangirifiriako; mahamamak’ ahy ty fiñeoñeoko, le tsy mahatrea fitofàñe.

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.

Ty hoe ty ho saontsie’o ama’e, Hoe t’Iehovà: Inao! fa ho rotsaheko i niranjiekoy, vaho hombotako o nambolekoo, i hene taney ‘nio.

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.

Aa le mipay raha ra’ elahy ho am-bata’o v’ iheo? Ko tsoehe’o fa ingo, hametsahako hankàñe iaby ze atao nofotse, hoe t’Iehovà; fe hatoloko azo ho tamben’ali’o ty fiai’o amy ze hene toetse hañaveloa’o.
