Jeremias 45

1 Daytoy ti sao nga imbaga ni Jeremias a profeta kenni Baruc a putot ni Nerias. Napasamak daytoy idi insurat ni Baruc dagitoy a sasao iti maysa a nalukot a pagsuratan bayat nga idikdikta ni Jeremias—daytoy ket idi maika-uppat a tawen a panagturay ni Jehoiakim a putot ni Josias kas ari ti Juda, a kunana,

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, the king of Judah, saying:

2 “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel kenka, Baruc:

“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:

3 Kinunam, 'Asiak pay, ta ninayunan ni Yahweh ti panagrigrigatko. Nabannogakon gapu iti panagas-asugko; awan iti inanak.'

You have said: ‘Woe to me, a wretched man! For the Lord has added sorrow to my sorrow. I have labored in my groaning, and I have not found rest.’

4 Kastoy ti rumbeng nga ibagam kenkuana: 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, rebrebbaek itan ti imbangonko. Parparutek itan ti inmulak. Mapasamak daytoy iti entero a daga.

Thus says the Lord: So shall you say to him: Behold, those whom I have built up, I destroy, and those whom I have planted, I uproot, even this entire land.

5 Ngem mangnamnamaka kadi iti nasasayaat a banbanag para iti bagim? Saanmo a namnamaen dayta. Ta dumngegka, um-umayen ti didigra iti amin a sangkataoan—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—ngem itedko kenka ti biagmo a kas banag a sinamsammo iti sadinoman a papanam.”'

And are you seeking great things for yourself? Do not choose to seek them. For behold, I will lead evil over all that is flesh, says the Lord. But I will give your life to you unto salvation, in every place, wherever you may travel.”
