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 message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote 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:

“The LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

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

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

“You shall tell him, the LORD says: ‘Behold, that which I have built, I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the 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.

Do you seek great things for yourself? Don’t seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh,’ says the LORD, ‘but I will let you escape with your life wherever you go.’”
