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 word that Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken unto Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:

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

'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch:

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

'Thou hast said, Woe to me, now, for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and rest I have not found.

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.

Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.

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.

And thou — thou seekest for thee great things — do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.'
