Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah; saying,

O KA olelo a Ieremia, a ke kaula i olelo ai ia Baruka ke keiki a Neria, ia ia i kakau ai i keia mau olelo maloko o ka buke, no ka waha mai o Ieremia, i ka makahiki eha o Iehoiakima, ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i mai la,

2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:

Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia oe, E Baruka, penei;

3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.

Ua olelo mai no oe, Ano la, auwe ia'u! no ka mea, ua hooili mai o Iehova i ke kaumaha maluna o ko'u eha: Maule no au i ko'u kaniuhu ana, aole loaa ia'u ka hoomaha.

4 Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith the LORD: Behold, 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.

Penei oe e olelo ai ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, o ka mea a'u i kukulu ai, oia ka'u e wawahi ai, a o ka mea a'u i kanu ai, oia ka'u e uhuki ai, o keia aina hoi a pau.

5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

Ke imi nei anei oe i mea nui nou! Mai imi oe; no ka mea, aia hoi, e lawe mai no wau i ka hewa maluna a na mea ola a pau, wahi a Iehova; aka, e haawi no wau i kou ola ia oe, i waiwai pio nou, ma na wahi a pau au e hele aku ai.
