| | 1 | 猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第四年、尼利亞的兒子巴錄將先知耶利米口中所說的話寫在書上、耶利米說、
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 | 巴錄阿、耶和華以色列的 神說、
"This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: | |
| | 3 | 巴錄〔原文作你〕曾說、哀哉、耶和華將憂愁加在我的痛苦上．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 | 你要這樣告訴他、耶和華如此說、我所建立的我必拆毀．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 | 你為自己圖謀大事麼．不要圖謀．我必使災禍臨到凡有血氣的．但你無論往那裡去、我必使你以自己的命為掠物．這是耶和華說的。
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.'" | |
