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 hath spoken unto Baruch son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:

2 Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu kugu leeyahay,

'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning 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 hast said, Woe to me, now, for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and rest I have not found.

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 dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself.

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 thou — thou seekest for thee great things — do not seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have given to thee thy life for a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.'
