< Jeremiah 45 >

1 This is what Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote out on a scroll these messages that Jeremiah dictated. (This happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah.)
ユダの王ヨシヤの子ヱホヤキムの四年ネリヤの子バルクが此等の言をヱレミヤの口にしたがひて書に錄せしとき預言者ヱレミヤこれに語りていひけるは
2 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:
バルクよイスラエルの神ヱホバ汝にかくいひ給ふ
3 You've been complaining, saying, “I'm in so much trouble because the Lord has given me sorrow to make my pain worse! I've worn myself out with my groans. I can't get any relief.”
汝曾ていへり嗚呼我は禍なるかなヱホバ我憂に悲を加へたまへり我は歎きて疲れ安きをえずと
4 This is what Jeremiah was told to say to Baruch: This is what the Lord says: Across the whole country I'm going to tear down what I have built and uproot what I have planted.
汝かく彼に語れヱホバかくいひたまふ視よわれ我建しところの者を毀ち我植しところの者を拔ん是この全地なり
5 So in your case, do you think you'll get special treatment? Stop looking for something like that! I'm going to bring disaster down on every living thing, declares the Lord. However, I promise you that your reward will be that you will continue living, wherever you go.
汝己れの爲に大なる事を求むるかこれを求むる勿れ視よわれ災をすべての民に降さん然ど汝の生命は我汝のゆかん諸の處にて汝の掠物とならしめんとヱホバいひたまふ
