Jeremias 45

1 Daytoy ti sao nga imbaga ni Jeremias a profeta kenni Baruc a putot ni Nerias. Napasamak daytoy idi insurat ni Baruc dagitoy a sasao iti maysa a nalukot a pagsuratan bayat nga idikdikta ni Jeremias—daytoy ket idi maika-uppat a tawen a panagturay ni Jehoiakim a putot ni Josias kas ari ti Juda, a kunana,

The word which Jeremiah the prophet spoke unto Baruch the son of Neriyah, when he wrote these words in a book out of the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, saying,

2 “Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel kenka, Baruc:

Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning thee, O Baruch:

3 Kinunam, 'Asiak pay, ta ninayunan ni Yahweh ti panagrigrigatko. Nabannogakon gapu iti panagas-asugko; awan iti inanak.'

Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the Lord hath added grief to my pain; I am wearied in my sighing, and rest have I not found;

4 Kastoy ti rumbeng nga ibagam kenkuana: 'Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, rebrebbaek itan ti imbangonko. Parparutek itan ti inmulak. Mapasamak daytoy iti entero a daga.

Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus hath the Lord said, Behold, what I have built will I pull down, and what I have planted I will pluck up; and so it is with this whole land.

5 Ngem mangnamnamaka kadi iti nasasayaat a banbanag para iti bagim? Saanmo a namnamaen dayta. Ta dumngegka, um-umayen ti didigra iti amin a sangkataoan—daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh—ngem itedko kenka ti biagmo a kas banag a sinamsammo iti sadinoman a papanam.”'

And wouldst thou indeed seek great things for thyself? seek them not; for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the Lord; but I will give thy life unto thee as a booty in all the places whither thou mayest go.
