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.

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.

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 that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.

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.”

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.”

4 Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:

The LORD’s word came to 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.

“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 Chaldeans, as good.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

“‘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.

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.

I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth amongst 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.

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

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