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,

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

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

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
