Jeremiah 24
1 Jehovah showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of Jehovah, after Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the rulers of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sik fotoh in fig luo ma filiyuki mutun Tempul. (Ma se inge sikyak tukun Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el usalla Tokosra Jehoiachin lun Judah, wen natul Jehoiakim, tuh elan sie mwet sruoh liki acn Jerusalem nu Babylonia, wi mwet kol lun Judah, mwet tufahl, ac mwet usrnguk ke orekma.)
2 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.
Fotoh se meet ah fig wowo oan loac, ma sa in mwesrla. Fotoh se ngia fig na koluk oan loac, tiana ku in mongo.
3 Then Jehovah said to me, What do thou see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs. The good figs, very good, and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten they are so bad.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, mea kom liye an?” Nga topuk, “Fig — ma wo kac ah arulana wo, a ma koluk kac ah arulana koluk, tia ku in mongo.”
4 And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
5 Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: 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, for good.
“Nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, nunku tuh mwet ma utukla nu Babylonia elos oana fig wo inge, ac nga fah kulang nu selos.
6 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.
Nga fah liyalosyang ac folokunulosme nu in facl se inge. Nga ac fah musaelosyak ac tia kunauselosla. Nga fah yokwalosi ac tia fusulosyak.
7 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 to me with their whole heart.
Nga fah oru tuh insialos in kena eteyu lah nga pa LEUM GOD. Na elos ac fah mwet luk, ac nga ac fah God lalos, mweyen elos ac foloko nu yuruk ke inse pwaye.
8 And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten they are so bad, surely thus says Jehovah: So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his rulers, and the residue of Jerusalem, who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.
“Ac funu kacl Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah, wi mwet fulat ma raunella, ac mwet saya Jerusalem su muta in facl se inge ku elos su mukuila nu Egypt — nga, LEUM GOD, fah lumahlos oana fig koluk inge ma arulana koluk in mongo.
9 I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro 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 shall drive them.
Nga fah oru sie kain kunausten nu faclos ma mutunfacl nukewa faclu fah arulana sangeng kac. Yen nukewa nga luseloselik nu we, mwet uh ac fah isrunulos, orek tafukas kaclos, angnolos, ac orekmakin inelos in mwe selnga lalos.
10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
Nga fah use mweun, sracl, ac mas lulap nu faclos nwe ke na wanginla mwet in facl se su nga sang nu selos ac mwet matu lalos.”
