1The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Nerijah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying,
1 Sanno kaŋ annabi Irimiya ci Baruk Neriya izo se neeya, waato kaŋ a na Irimiya me sanney din hantum tira ra Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacim Yosiya izo koytara jiiri taacanta ra. A ne:
2Thus sayeth Jehovah, the God of Israel, concerning thee, Baruch:
2 Ya nin Baruk, yaa no Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci ni se:
3Thou didst say, Woe unto me! for Jehovah hath added grief to my sorrow; I am weary with my sighing, and I find no rest.
3 Ni ne: «Kaari ay sohõ kay! Zama Rabbi na bine saray tonton ay dooro gaa. Ay farga d'ay durayyaŋo, ay si ga du fulanzamay fo mo.»
4Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, what I have built do I overthrow, and what I have planted I pluck up, even this whole land.
4 Yaawo no ni ga ne a se: Yaa no Rabbi ci: Guna, haŋ kaŋ ay cina, ay goono g'a zeeri. Haŋ kaŋ ay tilam mo, ay goono g'a dagu, baa ay laabo kulu.
5And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek [them] not; for behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith Jehovah; but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou shalt go.
5 Ni binde, ni goono ga hari beeriyaŋ ceeci ni boŋ se, wala? Ma si ceeci, zama a go, ay ga laala candi ka kande fundikooney kulu boŋ. Yaadin no Rabbi ci. Amma ay ga ni no ni fundo a ma ciya ni se arzaka nangey kulu kaŋ ni ga koy.
