Jeremias 45

1 A palavra que fallou Jeremias, o propheta, a Baruch, filho de Nerias, escrevendo elle aquellas palavras n'um livro da bocca de Jeremias, no anno quarto de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judah, dizendo:

The words which Jeremiah the prophet said to Baruch, the son of Neriah, when he put these words down in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; he said,

2 Assim diz o Senhor, Deus d'Israel, ácerca de ti, ó Baruch:

This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said of you, O Baruch:

3 Disseste: Ai de mim agora! porque me accrescentou o Senhor tristeza sobre minha dôr: já estou cançado do meu gemido, e não acho descanço.

You said, Sorrow is mine! for the Lord has given me sorrow in addition to my pain; I am tired with the sound of my sorrow, and I get no rest.

4 Pelo que assim lhe dirás: Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que o que edifiquei eu derribo, e o que plantei eu arranco, e isso em toda esta terra.

This is what you are to say to him: The Lord has said, Truly, the building which I put up will be broken down, and that which was planted by me will be uprooted, and this through all the land;

5 E tu te buscarias grandezas? não as busques; porque eis que trago mal sobre toda a carne, diz o Senhor; porém te darei a ti a tua alma por despojo, em todos os logares para onde fores.

And as for you, are you looking for great things for yourself? Have no desire for them: for truly I will send evil on all flesh, says the Lord: but your life I will keep safe from attack wherever you go.
