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.

The LORD showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs [were] set before the temple of the LORD, after Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.

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

One basket [had] very good figs, [even] like the figs [that are] first ripe: and the other basket [had] very poor figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

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 the LORD to me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? and I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.

٤ 4 ثُمَّ صَارَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا:

Again the word of the LORD came to 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 the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for [their] good.

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

For I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull [them] down; and I will plant them, and not pluck [them] up.

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

And I will give them a heart to know me, that I [am] the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return to me with their whole 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 as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:

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

And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

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

And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
