Ang Mensahi kay Baruc

45 Sang ikaapat nga tuig sang paghari ni Jehoyakim nga anak ni Josia sa Juda, ginsulat ni Baruc ang gindikta sa iya ni Propeta Jeremias. Siling ni Jeremias, “Baruc, amo ini ang ginasiling sang Ginoo, ang Dios sang Israel, sa imo: ‘Nagsiling ka nga kaluluoy ka, kay ginadugangan sang Ginoo ang imo kasakit. Ginakapoy ka na sa pag-ugayong kag wala sing kapahuwayan.’

“Baruc, nagasiling pa gid ang Ginoo, ‘Gub-on ko ang ini nga nasyon nga akon ginpatindog. Gabuton ko ang akon gintanom. Himuon ko ini sa bug-os nga duta. Ti, magahandom ka pa sang dalagko nga mga butang para sa imo kaugalingon? Indi na lang, kay padal-an ko sang kalaglagan ang tanan nga katawhan, pero ikaw iya luwason ko bisan diin ka makadto. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagasiling sini.’ ”

A Message to Baruch

45 When Baruch(A) son of Neriah(B) wrote on a scroll(C) the words Jeremiah the prophet dictated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim(D) son of Josiah king of Judah, Jeremiah said this to Baruch: “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: You said, ‘Woe(E) to me! The Lord has added sorrow(F) to my pain;(G) I am worn out with groaning(H) and find no rest.’(I) But the Lord has told me to say to you, ‘This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot(J) what I have planted,(K) throughout the earth.(L) Should you then seek great(M) things for yourself? Do not seek them.(N) For I will bring disaster(O) on all people,(P) declares the Lord, but wherever you go I will let you escape(Q) with your life.’”(R)

45 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:

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.

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

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 unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
