< 耶利米书 45 >
1 犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年,尼利亚的儿子巴录将先知耶利米口中所说的话写在书上。耶利米说:
The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a scroll at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
"Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:
3 巴录曾说:‘哀哉!耶和华将忧愁加在我的痛苦上,我因唉哼而困乏,不得安歇。’
'You said, "Woe is me now. For the LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest."'"
4 你要这样告诉他,耶和华如此说:我所建立的,我必拆毁;我所栽植的,我必拔出;在全地我都如此行。
"You shall tell him, 'Thus says the LORD: "Look, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the whole land.
5 你为自己图谋大事吗?不要图谋!我必使灾祸临到凡有血气的。但你无论往哪里去,我必使你以自己的命为掠物。这是耶和华说的。”
Do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for, look, I will bring disaster on all flesh, says the LORD; but your life will I give to you for a reward in all places where you go."'"
