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,

Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Jeremiah wòlíì sọ fún Baruku ọmọ Neriah ní ọdún kẹrin ti Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda. Lẹ́yìn tí Baruku ti kọ sínú ìwé kíká àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí Jeremiah ti ń sọ:

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

“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ fún ọ, Baruku.

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

Ìwọ wí pé, ‘Ègbé ni fún mi! Olúwa ti fi ìbànújẹ́ kún ìrora mi, àárẹ̀ mú mi nínú ẹ̀dùn mi, èmi kò sì rí ìsinmi.’”

4 "You shall tell him, 'Thus says YHWH: "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.

Olúwa wí pé sọ èyí fún un, “Èyí ni Ọlọ́run sọ: ‘Èyí tí èmi ti kọ́ ni èmi yóò wò lulẹ̀, àti èyí tí èmi ti gbìn ni èmi yóò fàtu, àní ní orí gbogbo ilẹ̀.

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

Ṣé ìwọ sì ń wá ohun títóbi fún ara rẹ? Nítorí náà, má ṣe wá wọn. Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sí orí àwọn ènìyàn gbogbo ni Olúwa wí, ṣùgbọ́n níbikíbi tí ìwọ bá lọ ni èmi yóò jẹ́ kí o sá àsálà pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí rẹ.’”
