Jeremiah 45

1 The worde that Ieremiah the Prophet spake vnto Baruch the sonne of Neriah, when he had written these woordes in a booke at the mouth of Ieremiah, in the fourth yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, saying,

Mesaj ke Jérémie, pwofèt la, te pale a Baruc, fis a Nérija, lè l te fin ekri pawòl sila yo nan yon liv selon dikte Jérémie, nan katriyèm ane Jojakim, fis a Josias, wa Juda a, lè l te di:

2 Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel vnto thee, O Baruch,

Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la a ou menm, O Baruc:

3 Thou diddest say, Wo is me nowe: for the Lord hath laied sorrow vnto my sorrowe: I fainted in my mourning, and I can finde no rest.

‘Ou te di: “Ah! Malè a mwen menm! Paske SENYÈ a te mete tristès nan doulè m; mwen fatige ak plent mwen yo e mwen pa jwenn repo.’”

4 Thus shalt thou say vnto him, The Lord sayeth thus, Behold, that which I haue built, will I destroy, and that which I haue planted, will I plucke vp, euen this whole lande.

“Se konsa ou dwe pale li, ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, sa ke M te bati a, Mwen prèt pou demoli li, e sa ke M te plante a, Mwen prèt pou rache li; sa vle di, tout peyi a.”

5 And seekest thou great things for thy self? seeke them not: for beholde, I wil bring a plague vpon al flesh, saith the Lord: but thy life wil I giue thee for a pray in all places, whither thou goest.

Men ou menm, èske w ap chache gwo bagay pou ou menm? Pa chache, paske gade byen, Mwen va mennen dezas sou tout chè,’ deklare SENYÈ a: “Men Mwen va kite ou chape ak lavi ou a, nenpòt kote ou ale.”
