< 耶利米書 24 >
1 巴比倫王拿步高從耶路撒冷將猶大王約雅金的兒子耶苛尼雅和猶大的眾王侯,技工和鐵匠,擄到巴比倫去以後,上主使我見到一個神視:看,有兩筐無花果放在上主的殿前:
He showed me Yahweh and there! two baskets of figs [were] set before [the] temple of Yahweh after took into exile Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon Jeconiah [the] son of Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah and [the] officials of Judah and the craftsman and the smith[s] from Jerusalem and he brought them Babylon.
2 一筐內裝的是很好的無花果,好像是初熟的無花果;另一筐內裝的卻是很壞的無花果,壞得幾乎不能吃。
The basket one [was] figs good very like [the] figs of the early figs and the basket one [was] figs bad very which not they will be eaten from badness.
3 於是上主問我說:「耶肋米亞,你看見什麼﹖」我答說:「無花果:好的無花果實在好,壞的也實在壞,壞得至於不能吃。」
And he said Yahweh to me what? [are] you seeing O Jeremiah and I said figs the figs good [are] good very and the bad [figs] [are] bad very which not they will be eaten from badness.
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
5 上主,以色列的天主這樣說:我要惠然眷顧,我從這裏遣往加色丁地去的猶大俘虜,像這些好無花果一樣;
Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel like the figs good these so I will regard [the] exile[s] of Judah whom I have sent from the place this [the] land of [the] Chaldeans for good.
6 好好照顧他們,領他們回到這地方來;從新建樹他們,不再拆毀;從新栽培他們,不再拔除;
And I will set eye my on them for good and I will bring back them to the land this and I will build up them and not I will tear [them] down and I will plant them and not I will pluck [them] up.
7 賦給他們一顆認識我的心,知道只有我是上主;他們要作我的人民,我要作他們的天主;因為他們要全心回頭歸向我。
And I will give to them a heart to know me that I [am] Yahweh and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God for they will return to me with all heart their.
8 至於人怎樣對待那些壞的,壞得不可吃的無花果──上主這樣說──我也要怎樣對待猶大王漆德克雅和他的王侯,以及留在此地並住在埃及地的耶路撒冷遺民,
And like the figs bad which not they will be eaten from badness for thus - he says Yahweh so I will make Zedekiah [the] king of Judah and officials his and - [the] remnant of Jerusalem those [who] remain in the land this and those [who] dwell in [the] land of Egypt.
9 使他們成為地上各或恐怖的對象;在我驅逐他們所到的地方,成為人侮辱、譏笑、嘲弄和詛咒的對象;
And I will make them (into a terror *Q(K)*) into an evil to all [the] kingdoms of the earth into a reproach and into a byword into a taunt and into a curse in all the places where I will banish them there.
10 給他們招來戰爭、饑荒和瘟疫,直到他們由我賜給他們和他們祖先的地上完全消滅。
And I will send on them the sword the famine and the pestilence until are finished they from on the ground which I gave to them and to ancestors their.
