إِرْمِيَا 24

١ 1 أَرَانِي ٱلرَّبُّ وَإِذَا سَلَّتَا تِينٍ مَوْضُوعَتَانِ أَمَامَ هَيْكَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ بَعْدَ مَا سَبَى نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ يَكُنْيَا بْنَ يَهُويَاقِيمَ مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا وَرُؤَسَاءَ يَهُوذَا وَٱلنَّجَّارِينَ وَٱلْحَدَّادِينَ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَتَى بِهِمْ إِلَى بَابِلَ.

Yahweh shewed me, and lo! two baskets of figs, which had been set before the temple of Yahweh, —after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive, Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the princes of Judah and the carpenters and the smiths out of Jerusalem, and had brought them into Babylon: —

٢ 2 فِي ٱلسَّلَّةِ ٱلْوَاحِدَةِ تِينٌ جَيِّدٌ جِدًّا مِثْلُ ٱلتِّينِ ٱلْبَاكُورِيِّ، وَفِي ٱلسَّلَّةِ ٱلْأُخْرَى تِينٌ رَدِيءٌ جِدًّا لَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْ رَدَاءَتِهِ.

the one basket, was of very good figs, like the first-ripe figs; and, the other basket, was of very bad figs, which could not be eaten for badness.

٣ 3 فَقَالَ لِي ٱلرَّبُّ: «مَاذَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ يَا إِرْمِيَا؟» فَقُلْتُ: «تِينًا. اَلتِّينُ ٱلْجَيِّدُ جَيِّدٌ جِدًّا، وَٱلتِّينُ ٱلرَّدِيءُ رَدِيءٌ جِدًّا لَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْ رَدَاءَتِهِ».

Then said Yahweh unto me, —What canst thou see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, for badness.

٤ 4 ثُمَّ صَارَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا:

Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:

٥ 5 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: كَهَذَا ٱلتِّينِ ٱلْجَيِّدِ هَكَذَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَى سَبْيِ يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُهُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَوْضِعِ إِلَى أَرْضِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِلْخَيْرِ.

Thus, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Like these good figs, so, will I regard them of Judah who are carried into captivity, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.

٦ 6 وَأَجْعَلُ عَيْنَيَّ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلْخَيْرِ، وَأُرْجِعُهُمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَبْنِيهِمْ وَلَا أَهْدِمُهُمْ، وَأَغْرِسُهُمْ وَلَا أَقْلَعُهُمْ.

Therefore will I set mine eye upon them for good, and will bring them back upon this land, —and will build them up, and not pull them down, and will plant them and not root them up;

٧ 7 وَأُعْطِيهِمْ قَلْبًا لِيَعْرِفُونِي أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ، فَيَكُونُوا لِي شَعْبًا وَأَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ إِلَهًا، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيَّ بِكُلِّ قَلْبِهِمْ.

and will give them a heart to know, me, that, I, am Yahweh, So shall they become my people, And, I, will become their God; for they will return unto me with all their heart.

٨ 8 «وَكَٱلتِّينِ ٱلرَّدِيءِ ٱلَّذِي لَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْ رَدَاءَتِهِ، هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ، هَكَذَا أَجْعَلُ صِدْقِيَّا مَلِكَ يَهُوذَا وَرُؤَسَاءَهُ وَبَقِيَّةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلْبَاقِيَةَ فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّاكِنَةَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ.

And like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten for badness, Surely thus, saith Yahweh—so, will I deliver up Zedekiah king of Judah, and his princes and the remnant of Jerusalem that remain in this land, and them who are dwelling in the land of Egypt;

٩ 9 وَأُسَلِّمُهُمْ لِلْقَلَقِ وَٱلشَّرِّ فِي جَمِيعِ مَمَالِكِ ٱلْأَرْضِ عَارًا وَمَثَلًا وَهُزْأَةً وَلَعْنَةً فِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْمَوَاضِعِ ٱلَّتِي أَطْرُدُهُمْ إِلَيْهَا.

yea I will deliver them up, as a terror of calamity, to all the kingdoms of the earth, —as a reproach and as a byword, as a mockery and as a contempt, in every place whither I will drive them;

١٠ 10 وَأُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلسَّيْفَ وَٱلْجُوعَ وَٱلْوَبَأَ حَتَّى يَفْنَوْا عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهُمْ وَآبَاءَهُمْ إِيَّاهَا».

and I will send among them, sword famine and pestilence, —until they are consumed from off the soil which I gave to them and to their fathers.
