Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying:

Yon lè, antan Bawouk, pitit Nerija a, t'ap kouche sou papye mesaj pwofèt Jeremi t'ap repete pou li yo, Jeremi ba li yon mesaj pou li menm menm. Lè sa a, Jojakim, pitit Jozyas, te sou katriyèm lanne depi li te wa nan peyi Jida. Jeremi di Bawouk konsa:

2 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch: Thou didst say:

-Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, bay yon mesaj sou ou, Bawouk.

3 Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.

Ou te di: Ala devenn pou mwen! Seyè a mete lafliksyon sou traka m' te genyen deja. Mwen bouke plenn, mwen pa jwenn yon ti soulajman menm!

4 Thus shalt thou say unto him: Thus saith the LORD: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.

Enben, men mesaj Seyè a ban mwen pou ou: Se mwen menm Seyè k'ap demoli tou sa mwen te bati. m'ap derasinen tou sa mwen te plante. M'ap fè sa toupatou sou latè!

5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not; for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD; but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.'

Epi ou menm, w'ap mande pou yo fè pa ou, w'ap mande yon soulajman pou tèt ou ase? Pa mande anyen. M'ap voye malè a sou tout moun sou latè. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Men ou menm, ou mèt ale kote ou vle, ou p'ap mouri, w'ap sove lavi ou!
