< Jeremiah 45 >
1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Judah siangpahrang Jehoiakim, Josiah capa a bawinae kum pali nah, Jeremiah ni dei e lawk cauk dawk thut lahun nah, Neriah capa Baruk koe profet Jeremiah ni dei e lawk teh,
2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, to thee, O Baruch;
Oe! Baruk, BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni nang koe hettelah a dei,
3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
nang ni tami yawthoe e lah ka o, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni ka rucatnae dawk lungmathoenae a thapsin, ka kâhramnae dawk ka hrip toe, thadamnae banghai awm hoeh telah na ti.
4 Thus shalt thou say to him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, [that] which I have built I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.
Ahni koe hettelah na dei han, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw! ram tangkuem dawk ka sak tangcoung e hah bout ka raphoe vaiteh ka ung tangcoung e bout ka phawk han.
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 to thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
Ma hanelah hno kalen na tawng maw, tawng hanh, bangkongtetpawiteh, moithang pueng e lathueng vah thoenae ka pha sak han telah BAWIPA ni a dei. Hatei na hringnae teh na ceinae pueng dawk nang koe ka poe e phu lah ao han telah ati.
