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,

A palavra que falou Jeremias, o profeta, a Baruch, filho de Nerias, escrevendo ele aquelas palavras num livro da boca de Jeremias, no ano quarto de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, dizendo:

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

Assim diz o Senhor, Deus de Israel, acerca de ti, ó 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.

Disseste: Ai de mim agora! porque me acrescentou o Senhor tristeza sobre minha dor: já estou cançado do meu gemido, e não acho descanço.

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.

Pelo que assim lhe dirás: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que o que edifiquei eu derribo, e o que plantei eu arranco, e isso em toda esta terra.

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.”

E tu te buscarias grandezas? não as busques; porque eis que trago mal sobre toda a carne, diz o Senhor; porém te darei a ti a tua alma por despojo, em todos os lugares para onde fores.
