< Jeremiah 45 >
1 The word which he spoke Jeremiah the prophet to Baruch [the] son of Neriah when wrote he the words these on a scroll from [the] mouth of Jeremiah in the year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah saying.
Det ordet som profeten Jeremia tala til Baruk Neriason då han skreiv desse ordi i ei bok etter Jeremias munn i det fjorde styringsåret åt Juda-kongen Jojakim Josiason; han sagde:
2 Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel to you O Baruch.
So segjer Herren, Israels Gud, um deg, Baruk:
3 You said woe! please to me for he has added Yahweh sorrow to pain my I am weary with groaning my and rest not I have found.
Du sagde: «Eie meg! For Herren hev lagt sorg til min hugverk. Eg er trøytt av sukkarne mine og finn ingi kvild.»
4 Thus - you will say to him thus he says Yahweh here! [that] which I have built I [am] about to tear down and [that] which I have planted I [am] about to pluck up and all the land it.
So skal du segja med honom: So segjer Herren: Sjå, det eg hev bygt upp, det riv eg ned, og det eg hev planta, det rykkjer eg upp, og dette gjeld heile jordi.
5 And you you are seeking for yourself great [things] may not you seek [them] for here I [am] about to bring calamity on all flesh [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will give to you life your to plunder at all the places where you will go there.
Og du, du trår etter store ting åt deg: ikkje trå etter deim! For sjå, eg let ulukka koma yver alt kjøt, segjer Herren. Men eg vil gjeva deg livet ditt til herfang på kvar den stad du ferdast.
