Jeremiah 45

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

Ũũ nĩguo mũnabii Jeremia eerire Baruku mũrũ wa Neria, mwaka-inĩ wa kana wa wathani wa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia mũthamaki wa Juda, thuutha wa Baruku kwandĩka ũhoro ũrĩa Jeremia aamwĩraga andĩke ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo:

2 "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:

“Ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, arakwĩra wee Baruku:

3 'You said, "Woe is me now. For Jehovah has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest."'"

Woigire atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ ndĩ na haaro-ĩ! Jehova nĩanyongereire kĩeha igũrũ rĩa ruo rũrĩa ndĩ naruo; nĩnogetio nĩ gũcaaya, na ngaaga ũhurũko.’”

4 "You shall tell him, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Look, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.

Jehova oigire atĩrĩ, “Mwĩre atĩrĩ: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngangʼaũrania kĩrĩa njakĩte, na munye kĩrĩa haandĩte bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ wothe.

5 Do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for, look, I will bring disaster on all flesh, says Jehovah; but your life will I give to you for a reward in all places where you go."'"

No ũgĩcooke wĩcarĩrie maũndũ manene? Tiga kũmacaria. Nĩgũkorwo nĩngarehithĩria andũ othe mwanangĩko, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, no rĩrĩ, kũrĩa guothe ũrĩthiiaga nĩngatũma wĩthare ũhonokie muoyo waku.’”
