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:

After Jehoiakim the son of King Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, [I, ] Baruch, wrote down [all] the messages that the prophet Jeremiah had dictated to me. Then Jeremiah gave me a message. He said,

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

“Baruch, Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], has a message for you.

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

You have said, ‘Terrible things [are happening] to me! I have endured much pain already. And now Yahweh is causing me to be very sad, in addition to my having pain. I am exhausted from my (groaning/being sad), and I am unable to 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.

But [Baruch], this is what Yahweh says: ‘I will destroy this nation that I established. [This nation is like a tree] [MET] that I planted and that I will now pull up with its roots.

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.

So, should you [RHQ] desire that people do things to honor you in a special way? Do not desire that. [It is true that] I will cause all these people to experience a great disaster, but wherever you go, I will protect you, and you will not be killed.’”
