耶利米书
CH. 45
1
犹大王约西亚的儿子约雅敬第四年,尼利亚的儿子巴录将先知耶利米口中所说的话写在书上。耶利米说,

This is what Jeremiah the prophet told Baruch son of Neriah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, after Baruch had written on a scroll the words Jeremiah was then dictating:
2
巴录阿,耶和华以色列的神说,

"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch:
3
巴录(原文作你)曾说,哀哉。耶和华将忧愁加在我的痛苦上,我因唉哼而困乏,不得安歇。

You said, 'Woe to me! The LORD has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.'"
4
你要这样告诉他,耶和华如此说,我所建立的,我必拆毁。我所栽植的,我必拔出。在全地我都如此行。

The LORD said,"Say this to him: 'This is what the LORD says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the land.
5
你为自己图谋大事吗?不要图谋。我必使灾祸临到凡有血气的。但你无论往哪里去,我必使你以自己的命为掠物。这是耶和华说的。

Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the LORD, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.'"
