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 Neriae, cum scripsisset verba haec in libro ex ore Ieremiae, anno quarto Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, dicens:

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

Haec 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: Vae 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.

Haec dicit Dominus: Sic dices ad eum: Ecce quos aedificavi, 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 quaeris tibi grandia? noli quaerere: quia ecce ego adducam malum super omnem carnem, ait Dominus: et dabo tibi animam tuam in salutem in omnibus locis, ad quaecumque perrexeris.
