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 spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book from 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 the LORD, the God of Israel, to 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 the LORD 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 to him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built I will 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 the LORD: but thy life will I give to thee for a prize in all places where thou goest.
