Jeremia 45

1 Ny teny izay nataon’ i Jeremia mpaminany tamin’ i Baroka, zanak’ i Neria, fony izy nanoratra ireto teny ireto tamin’ ny taratasy avy tamin’ ny vavan’ i Jeremia tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, hoe:

The word that Jeremias the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerias, when he had written there words in a book, out of the mouth of Jeremias, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, saying:

2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ny aminao, ry Baroka:

Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to thee, Baruch:

3 Hoy ianao: Idiran-doza aho ity! fa nampian’ i Jehovah alahelo ny fanaintainako; efa sasatra ny misento aho ka tsy mahita fitsaharana.

Thou hast said: Woe is me, wretch that I am, for the Lord hath added sorrow to my sorrow: I am wearied with my groans, and I find no rest.

4 Lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, horavako izay efa naoriko, ary hongotako izay efa namboleko, dia izao tany rehetra izao.

Thus saith the Lord: Thus shalt thou say to him: Behold, them whom I have built, I do destroy: and them whom I have planted, I do pluck up, and all this land.

5 Mitady zavatra lehibe ho anao va ianao? aza mitady izany! fa, indro, hahatonga loza ho amin’ ny nofo rehetra Aho, hoy Jehovah; fa raha ny ainao dia homeko anao ho babonao ihany any amin’ izay rehetra nalehanao.

And dost thou seek great things for thyself? Seek not: for behold I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord! but I will give thee thy life, and save thee in all places whithersoever thou shalt go.
