Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet has spoken to Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a scroll from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

Verbum, quod locutus est Ieremias propheta ad Baruch filium Neriæ, cum scripsisset verba hæc in libro ex ore Ieremiæ, anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, dicens:

2 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning you, O Baruch:

Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel ad te Baruch:

3 You have said, Woe to me, now, for YHWH has added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and I have not found rest.

Dixisti: Væ misero mihi, quoniam addidit Dominus dolorem dolori meo: laboravi in gemitu meo, et requiem non inveni.

4 Thus you say to him, Thus said YHWH: Behold, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.

Hæc dicit Dominus: Sic dices ad eum: Ecce quos ædificavi, ego destruo: et quos plantavi, ego evello, et universam terram hanc.

5 And you seek for great things—do not seek, for behold, I am bringing calamity on all flesh—a declaration of YHWH—and I have given your life to you for a spoil, in all places to where you go.”

Et tu quæris tibi grandia? noli quærere: quia ecce ego adducam malum super omnem carnem, ait Dominus: et dabo tibi animam tuam in salutem in omnibus locis, ad quæcumque perrexeris.
