1The message that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, 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 says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to you, Baruch:
2 Ya nin Baruk, yaa no Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci ni se:
3You said, Woe is me now! for Yahweh has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, 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.»
4You shall tell him, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up; and this in the 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.
5Do you seek great things for yourself? Don’t seek them; for, behold, I will bring evil on all flesh, says Yahweh; but your life will I give to you for a prey in all places where you 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.
