Yeremia 45

1 Hili ni neno ambalo Yeremia nabii alimwambia Baruku mwana wa Neria. Hii ilitokea wakati alipoandika kwenye kitabu maneno haya kwa imla ya Yeremia - hii ilikuwa katika mwaka wa nne wa Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosia, mfalme wa Yuda, na alisema,

The word which he spoke Jeremiah the prophet to Baruch [the] son of Neriah when wrote he the words these on a scroll from [the] mouth of Jeremiah in the year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah saying.

2 “Yahwe, Mungu wa Israel, asema hivi kwako, Baruku:

Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel to you O Baruch.

3 Umesema, Ole mimi, kwa kuwa Yahwe ameongeza uchungu wa maumivu. Kuugua kwangu kumenichosha; sipati pumziko.'

You said woe! please to me for he has added Yahweh sorrow to pain my I am weary with groaning my and rest not I have found.

4 Hivi ndivyo unapaswa kusema kwake: “Yahwe asema hivi: Ona, nilichojenga, sasa ninararua chini. Nilichopanda, sasa ninangoa. Hii ni kweli juu ya dunia.

Thus - you will say to him thus he says Yahweh here! [that] which I have built I [am] about to tear down and [that] which I have planted I [am] about to pluck up and all the land it.

5 Lakini unategema mambo makubwa kwa ajili yako? Usitegemee hayo. Uone, maafa yanakuja kwa binadamu wote - hii ni tamko la Yahwe - lakini ninakupa maisha yangu kama nyara popote utakakoenda.”

And you you are seeking for yourself great [things] may not you seek [them] for here I [am] about to bring calamity on all flesh [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will give to you life your to plunder at all the places where you will go there.
