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,

Ko te kupu i korerotia e Heremaia poropiti ki a Paruku tama a Neria, i tana tuhituhinga i enei kupu ki te pukapuka, na Heremaia i korero, i te wha o nga tau o Iehoiakimi kingi o Hura; i ki ia,

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

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira mou, e Paruku;

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.

I mea koe, Aue, toku mate nei hoki! kua tapiritia hoki e Ihowa toku mamae ki te tangi; mauiui noa ahau i toku auetanga, te ai he pariratanga.

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.

Ko tau tenei e ki atu ai ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Nana, ko taku i hanga ai ka wahia iho ano e ahau, a ko taku i whakato ai ka hutia atu ano e ahau; a ko tenei ki te whenua katoa.

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.”

A e rapu ana koe i nga mea nunui mau? kaua e rapua; no te mea kei te kawea atu e ahau he kino mo nga kikokiko katoa, e ai ta Ihowa: engari ka hoatu e ahau tou wairua ki a koe hei taonga parakete i nga wahi katoa e haere atu ai koe.
