< 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 Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ny aminao, ry Baroka:
Thus saith Yhwh, the God of Israel, unto thee, O 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 didst say, Woe is me now! for Yhwh hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, 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 shalt thou say unto him, Yhwh saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole 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 seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Yhwh: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
