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 what Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote out on a scroll these messages that Jeremiah dictated. (This happened 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've been complaining, saying, “I'm in so much trouble because the Lord has given me sorrow to make my pain worse! I've worn myself out with my groans. I can't get any relief.”

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.”

This is what Jeremiah was told to say to Baruch: This is what the Lord says: Across the whole country I'm going to tear down 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.”

So in your case, do you think you'll get special treatment? Stop looking for something like that! I'm going to bring disaster down on every living thing, declares the Lord. However, I promise you that your reward will be that you will continue living, wherever you go.
