Jeremiah 45

1 The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to 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,

In yac se akakosr ma Jehoiakim, wen natul Josiah, el tuh tokosra lun Judah, Baruch el simusla kas nukewa nga fahkang nu sel. Na nga fahk nu sel,

2 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

“Pa inge kas lun LEUM GOD lun Israel nu sum: ‘Baruch,

3 ‘You said, “Woe is me now! For the LORD has added sorrow to my pain! I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest.”’

kom fahk mu “Nga fuhleak finsrak! LEUM GOD El ase mwe asor in laesla mwe lokoalok luk. Nga totola ke sao luk, ac nga tia ku in konauk mongla!’”

4 “You shall tell him, the LORD says: ‘Behold, that which I have built, I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.

“Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, nga ikruiya ma nga musaela, ac nga fusak ma nga yukwiya. Nga ac oru ouinge nu ke faclu nufon.

5 Do you seek great things for yourself? Don’t seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh,’ says the LORD, ‘but I will let you escape with your life wherever you go.’”

Ya kom suk in orek nu sum wo liki mwet ngia? Nimet nunku ouingan. Nga ac sang mwe ongoiya nu fin mwet nukewa, tusruktu kom sifacna ac fah moulla in kutena acn kom ac som nu we. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
