| 2 | Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch: | "Jéhovah, roi d’Israël, parle ainsi sur toi, Baruch : | Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch: |
| 3 | 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. | Tu dis : Malheur à moi! car Jéhovah ajoute à mon chagrin la douleur; je m’épuise dans mon gémissement, et je ne trouve point le repos. | Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for Jehovah hath added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest. |
| 4 | 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. | Tu lui diras donc : Ainsi parle Jéhovah : ce que j’avais bâti, je le détruis; ce que j’avais planté, je l’arrache, et toute cette terre. | Thus shalt thou say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah: 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. |
| 5 | 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. | Et toi, tu chercherais pour toi de grandes choses! Ne les cherche point; car je vais amener le malheur sur toute chair, dit Jéhovah; mais je te donnerai la vie pour butin dans tous les lieux où tu iras." | And 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 goest. |
