Jeremiah 45

1 This is the word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

1 约西亚的儿子犹大王约雅敬执政第四年，尼利亚的儿子巴录把耶利米先知口述的话写在书卷上。耶利米对他说：

2 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:

2 “巴录啊，以色列的上帝耶和华说，

3 You have said, ‘Woe is me because the LORD has added sorrow to my pain! I am worn out with groaning and have found no rest.’”

3 ‘你曾说，我真悲惨！因为耶和华使我又痛苦又忧愁，我呻吟不止，身心疲惫，不得安宁。’

4 Thus Jeremiah was to say to Baruch: “This is what the LORD says: Throughout the land I will demolish what I have built and uproot what I have planted.

4 我要告诉你，耶和华说，‘我必在整个大地上拆毁我所建立的，铲除我所栽培的。

5 But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the LORD, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”

5 你想为自己谋求大事吗？不要谋求，因为我要给世人降下灾祸。但不论你到哪里，我必使你保住性命。这是耶和华说的。’”
