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，
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,
45:2 巴录阿，耶和华以色列的神说，
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:
45:3 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。
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.
45:4 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。
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.
45:5 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。
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.
