< 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:
Ny teny izay nataon’ i Jeremia mpaminany tamin’ i Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, fony izy nanoratra ireto teny ireto tamin’ ny taratasy avy tamin’ ny vavan’ i Jeremia tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, hoe:
2 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch: Thou didst say:
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ny aminao, ry Baroka:
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.
Hoy ianao: Idiran-doza aho ity! fa nampian’ i Jehovah alahelo ny fanaintainako; efa sasatra ny misento aho ka tsy mahita fitsaharana.
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.
Lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, horavako izay efa naoriko, ary hongotako izay efa namboleko, dia izao tany rehetra izao.
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.'
Mitady zavatra lehibe ho anao va ianao? aza mitady izany! fa, indro, hahatonga loza ho amin’ ny nofo rehetra Aho, hoy Jehovah; fa raha ny ainao dia homeko anao ho babonao ihany any amin’ izay rehetra nalehanao.
