Jeremija 45

1 Beseda, ki jo je prerok Jeremija spregovoril Nerijájevemu sinu Baruhu, ko je zapisal te besede v knjigo pri Jeremijevih ustih, v četrtem letu Jojakíma, Jošíjevega sina, Judovega kralja, rekoč:

The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke 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 »Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog, tebi, oh Baruh.

Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, unto you, O Baruch:

3 Rekel si: ›Gorje mi sedaj! Kajti Gospod je dodal žalost k moji bridkosti; oslabel sem v svojem vzdihovanju in ne najdem počitka.‹

You did say, Woe is me now! for the LORD has added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

4 Tako mu boš rekel: › Gospod tako govori: ›Glej, to, kar sem zgradil, bom porušil in to, kar sem zasadil, bom izruval, celo to celotno deželo.

Thus shall you say unto him, The LORD says 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 In ti zase iščeš velike stvari? Ne išči jih, kajti glej, privedel bom zlo nad vse meso, ‹ govori Gospod, ›toda tvoje življenje ti bom dal za plen v vseh krajih, kamor greš.«

And seek you great things for yourself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, says the LORD: but your life will I give unto you for a prey in all places where you go.
