Книга пророка Иеремии 45

1 Слово, еже глагола Иеремиа пророк к Варуху сыну Нириеву, егда вписа словеса сия в книгу от уст Иеремииных, в четвертое лето Иоакима, сына Иосиина, царя Иудина, глаголя:

After Jehoiakim the son of King Josiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, [I, ] Baruch, wrote down [all] the messages that the prophet Jeremiah had dictated to me. Then Jeremiah gave me a message. He said,

2 тако глаголет Господь Вседержитель о тебе, Варуше:

“Baruch, Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], has a message for you.

3 яко рекл еси: о, люте мне! О, люте мне! Яко приложи Господь труд к болезни моей, успох с стенанием, покоя не обретох.

You have said, ‘Terrible things [are happening] to me! I have endured much pain already. And now Yahweh is causing me to be very sad, in addition to my having pain. I am exhausted from my (groaning/being sad), and I am unable to rest!’

4 Рцы ему, сице глаголет Господь: се, яже Аз соградих, Аз разорю: и яже насадих Аз, исторгну, и всю землю Мою.

But [Baruch], this is what Yahweh says: ‘I will destroy this nation that I established. [This nation is like a tree] [MET] that I planted and that I will now pull up with its roots.

5 И Ты ли взыщеши себе великих? Не ищи: яко се, Аз наведу злая на всяку плоть, глаголет Господь, и дам душу твою в корысть во всяцем месте, аможе аще пойдеши.

So, should you [RHQ] desire that people do things to honor you in a special way? Do not desire that. [It is true that] I will cause all these people to experience a great disaster, but wherever you go, I will protect you, and you will not be killed.’”
