Jeremiah 45

1 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book from the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

Šis ir tas vārds, ko pravietis Jeremija runājis uz Bāruku, Nerijas dēlu, kad viņš šos vārdus no Jeremijas mutes rakstīja grāmatā, Jojaķima, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, ceturtā gadā, sacīdams:

2 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, to thee, O Baruch;

Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, uz tevi, Bāruk:

3 Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.

Tu saki: vai man! Jo Tas Kungs bēdas pielicis manām sāpēm; es esmu piekusis no savas vaidēšanas un neatrodu miera.

4 Thus shalt thou say to him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built I will break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.

Tā tev būs sacīt uz viņu: tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, ko Es esmu uztaisījis, to Es nolaužu, un ko esmu dēstījis, to Es izrauju, un tā klāsies visai šai zemei.

5 And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give to thee for a prize in all places where thou goest.

Un tu sev meklē lielas lietas? Nemeklē tās! Jo redzi, Es vedu ļaunumu pār visu miesu, saka Tas Kungs. Bet tev Es došu paturēt tavu dvēseli visur, kur vien tu iesi.
