Jeremiah 45

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

Kino kye kigambo nnabbi Yeremiya kye yagamba Baluki mutabani wa Neriya mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, nga Baluki amaze okuwandiika ku muzingo nti,

2 Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch:

“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri gy’oli, ggwe Baluki nti,

3 You did say, Woe is me now! for the LORD has added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

Wagamba nti, ‘Zinsanze. Mukama Katonda agasse ennaku ku bulumi bwange; mpweddemu endasi era zijjudde okusinda n’obutawummula.’”

4 Thus shall you say to him, The LORD says thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

Mukama yagamba nti, “Mugambe bw’oti nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: ndimenya bye nazimba, nkuule bye nasimba, mu ggwanga lyonna.

5 And seek you great things for yourself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says the LORD: but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you go.

Kale lwaki weenoonyeza ebintu ebirungi? Tobinoonya. Kubanga ndireeta akabi ku bantu bonna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, naye buli gy’olaga nnaakuyambanga osigale ng’oli mulamu.’”
