Jeremia 24

1 Bangʼ ka Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim ruodh Juda kod jotelo, jopecho kod jogoro mag Juda ne oseter e twech koa Jerusalem nyaka Babulon gi Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon, Jehova Nyasaye nonyisa kikepni ariyo mag ngʼope koketi e nyim hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.

Jehovah shewed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, set before the temple of Jehovah, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive from Jerusalem, Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, and the craftsmen and smiths, and had brought them to Babylon.

2 Okapu achiel ne nigi ngʼope mabeyo ahinya, kod mago mane osechiek chon; okapu machielo ne nigi ngʼope maricho, marach moloyo ma ok nyal cham.

One basket had very good figs, like the figs first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten for badness.

3 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenja niya, “En angʼo mineno, Jeremia?” Ne odwoko niya, “Aneno ngʼope. Mabeyo to beyo ahinya, to maricho to richo ahinya ma ok nyal cham.”

And Jehovah said unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs very good; and the bad very bad, which cannot be eaten for badness.

4 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

5 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Ka ngʼope mabeyogi, akawo jogo moa Juda kodhi e twech kaka joma beyo, mane agolo kae kadhi e piny jo-Babulon.

Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard for good them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans;

6 Wengena nongʼigi mondo gidhi maber, kendo anadwog-gi e pinyni. Anagergi kendo ok anamukgi; anapidhgi kendo ok anapudhgi.

and I will set mine 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.

7 Anamigi chuny mar ngʼeya ni an Jehova Nyasaye. Ginibed joga kendo anabed Nyasachgi, nimar giniduog ira gi chunygi duto.’

And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

8 “Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘To mana kaka ngʼope maricho, ma ok nyal cham, e kaka anatimne Zedekia ruodh Juda, jotende kod jogo motony moa Jerusalem, kata obedo ni gidongʼ e pinyni kata gidak Misri.

And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten for badness, surely, thus saith Jehovah: So will I make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt.

9 Abiro kelo kuomgi achaya kendo joma ok dwar gi pinjeruodhi duto manie piny, ma wangʼo ich kendo itiyo godo kaka ranyisi, gima ibwogogo ji kendo ikwongʼogo, ka moro amora ma aterogie.

And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither unto all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them;

10 Anakel ligangla, kech kod masira kuomgi nyaka tiekgi e piny mane amiyogi kod wuonegi.’”

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