Yeremiya 45

1 Kino kye kigambo nnabbi Yeremiya kye yagamba Baluki mutabani wa Neriya mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, nga Baluki amaze okuwandiika ku muzingo nti,

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 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri gy’oli, ggwe Baluki nti,

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

3 Wagamba nti, ‘Zinsanze. Mukama Katonda agasse ennaku ku bulumi bwange; mpweddemu endasi era zijjudde okusinda n’obutawummula.’”

'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 Mukama yagamba nti, “Mugambe bw’oti nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: ndimenya bye nazimba, nkuule bye nasimba, mu ggwanga lyonna.

"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 Kale lwaki weenoonyeza ebintu ebirungi? Tobinoonya. Kubanga ndireeta akabi ku bantu bonna, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, naye buli gy’olaga nnaakuyambanga osigale ng’oli mulamu.’”

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."'"
