The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a scroll at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

2 “Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ na wò, Baruk nye esi:

"Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:

3 Ègblɔ be, ‘Baba nam! Yehowa tsɔ nuxaxa kpe ɖe nye vevesese ŋu. Ŋeŋe manyagblɔ na nu ti kɔ nam belebele eye nyemekpɔ dziɖeɖi aɖeke o.’”

'You said, "Woe is me now. For Jehovah has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest."'"

4 Yehowa be, “Gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: Magbã nu si nye ŋutɔ metu eye maho nu si nye ŋutɔ medo, le anyigba katã dzi.

"You shall tell him, 'Thus says Jehovah: "Look, 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.

5 Ɖe wògahiã be nàdi nu gãwo na ɖokuiwòa? Mègadi wo o, elabena Yehowa be mahe gbegblẽ va amewo katã dzi, ke afi sia afi si nàyi la mana nàɖe wò agbe.’”

Do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for, look, I will bring disaster on all flesh, says Jehovah; but your life will I give to you for a reward in all places where you go."'"
