Jeremijas 45

1 Šis ir tas vārds, ko pravietis Jeremija runājis uz Bāruku, Nerijas dēlu, kad viņš šos vārdus no Jeremijas mutes rakstīja grāmatā, Jojaķima, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, ceturtā gadā, sacīdams:

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 Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, uz tevi, Bāruk:

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

3 Tu saki: vai man! Jo Tas Kungs bēdas pielicis manām sāpēm; es esmu piekusis no savas vaidēšanas un neatrodu miera.

'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."'"

4 Tā tev būs sacīt uz viņu: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, ko Es esmu uztaisījis, to Es nolaužu, un ko esmu dēstījis, to Es izrauju, un tā klāsies visai šai zemei.

"You shall tell him, 'Thus says the LORD: "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 Un tu sev meklē lielas lietas? Nemeklē tās! Jo redzi, Es vedu ļaunumu pār visu miesu, saka Tas Kungs. Bet tev Es došu paturēt tavu dvēseli visur, kur vien tu iesi.

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