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 LORD’s temple, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen 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, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad 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 the LORD asked me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so bad that they can’t be eaten.”

٤ 4 ثُمَّ صَارَ كَلَامُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَيَّ قَائِلًا:

The LORD’s word 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.

“The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Kasdim, as good.

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

For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. I will build them, and not pull them down. 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.

I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will 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.

“‘As the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, they are so bad,’ surely the LORD says, ‘So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who 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.

I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them.

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

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