Yeremyaah 45

1 Kanu waa eraygii uu Nebi Yeremyaah kula hadlay Baaruug ina Neeriiyaah markuu erayadan kitaab kaga qoray afkii Yeremyaah, taasoo ahayd sannaddii afraad ee Yehooyaaqiim ina Yoosiyaah uu dalka Yahuudah boqorka ka ahaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Baaruugow,

THE word that Jeremiah the prophet spake 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 Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu kugu leeyahay,

Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch;

3 Adigu waxaad tidhi, Anigaa iska hoogay haatan, waayo, Rabbigu xanuunkaygii murug buu iigu sii daray. Taahiddaydii, waan la daalay, oo innaba nasasho ma aan helin.

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 Waxaad isaga ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Wixii aan dhisay waan dumin doonaa, oo wixii aan beerayna waan rujin doonaa, taasuna waa dalka oo dhan.

Thus shalt thou say unto him, The Lord saith 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 Ma nafsaddaadaad waxyaalo waaweyn u doondoonaysaa? Ha doondoonin, waayo, bal ogow, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu masiibaan binu-aadmiga oo dhan ku soo dejin doonaa, laakiinse meel alla meeshii aad tagtidba naftaadaan booli ahaan kuu siin doonaa.

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 unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
