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 “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ fún ọ, Baruku.

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

3 Ìwọ wí pé, ‘Ègbé ni fún mi! Olúwa ti fi ìbànújẹ́ kún ìrora mi, àárẹ̀ mú mi nínú ẹ̀dùn mi, èmi kò sì rí ìsinmi.’”

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 Olúwa wí pé sọ èyí fún un, “Èyí ni Ọlọ́run sọ: ‘Èyí tí èmi ti kọ́ ni èmi yóò wò lulẹ̀, àti èyí tí èmi ti gbìn ni èmi yóò fàtu, àní ní orí gbogbo ilẹ̀.

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 Ṣé ìwọ sì ń wá ohun títóbi fún ara rẹ? Nítorí náà, má ṣe wá wọn. Èmi yóò mú ibi wá sí orí àwọn ènìyàn gbogbo ni Olúwa wí, ṣùgbọ́n níbikíbi tí ìwọ bá lọ ni èmi yóò jẹ́ kí o sá àsálà pẹ̀lú ẹ̀mí rẹ.’”

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.
