Yeremia 45

1 Hili ndilo nabii Yeremia alilomwambia Baruku mwana wa Neria katika mwaka wa nne wa utawala wa Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosia mfalme wa Yuda, baada ya Baruku kuandika katika kitabu maneno ambayo yalitoka kinywani mwa Yeremia wakati ule:

The word that Jeremye, the profete, spak to Baruc, the sone of Nerie, whanne he hadde write these wordis in the book, of the mouth of Jeremye, in the fourthe yeer of Joachym, the sone of Josie, kyng of Juda,

2 “Hili ndilo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, akuambialo wewe Baruku:

and seide, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis to thee, Baruc.

3 Ulisema, ‘Ole wangu! Bwana ameongeza huzuni juu ya maumivu yangu, nimechoka kwa kulia kwa uchungu wala sipati pumziko.’”

Thou seidist, Wo to me wretche, for the Lord encreesside sorewe to my sorewe; Y trauelide in my weilyng, and Y foond not reste.

4 Bwana akasema, “Mwambie hivi: ‘Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: Nitakibomoa kile nilichokijenga, na kungʼoa kile nilichokipanda katika nchi yote.

The Lord seith these thingis, Thus thou schalt seye to hym, Lo! Y distrie hem, whiche Y bildide, and Y drawe out hem, whiche Y plauntide, and al this lond.

5 Je, utajitafutia mambo makubwa kwa ajili yako mwenyewe? Usiyatafute hayo. Kwa kuwa nitaleta maangamizi juu ya watu wote, asema Bwana, lakini popote utakapokwenda, nitayaokoa maisha yako.’”

And sekist thou grete thingis to thee? nyle thou seke, for lo! Y schal brynge yuel on ech man, seith the Lord, and Y schal yyue to thee thi lijf in to helthe, in alle places, to whiche euer places thou schalt go.
