Jeremi 45

1 Mesaj ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te pale a Baruc, fis a Nérija, lè l te fin ekri pawòl sila yo nan yon liv selon dikte Jérémie, nan katriyèm ane Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a, lè l te di:

This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

2 Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la a ou menm, O Baruc:

“This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

3 ‘Ou te di: “Ah! Malè a mwen menm! Paske SENYÈ a te mete tristès nan doulè m; mwen fatige ak plent mwen yo e mwen pa jwenn repo.’”

You have said, ‘Woe is me because the LORD has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.’”

4 “Se konsa ou dwe pale li, ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, sa ke M te bati a, Mwen prèt pou demoli li, e sa ke M te plante a, Mwen prèt pou rache li; sa vle di, tout peyi a.”

Thus Jeremiah was to say to Baruch: “This is what the LORD says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted.

5 Men ou menm, èske w ap chache gwo bagay pou ou menm? Pa chache, paske gade byen, Mwen va mennen dezas sou tout chè,’ deklare SENYÈ a: “Men Mwen va kite ou chape ak lavi ou a, nenpòt kote ou ale.”

But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the LORD, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”
