Jeremiah 24
1 After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, as well as the officials of Judah and the craftsmen and metalsmiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon, the LORD showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the LORD.
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.
2 One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early, but the other basket contained very poor figs, so bad they could not be eaten.
Okapu achiel ne nigi ngʼope mabeyo ahinya, kod mago mane osechiek chon; okapu machielo ne nigi ngʼope maricho, marach moloyo ma ok nyal cham.
3 “Jeremiah,” the LORD asked, “what do you see?” “Figs!” I replied. “The good figs are very good, but the bad figs are very bad, so bad they cannot be eaten.”
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.”
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:
5 “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, so I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans.
“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.
6 I will keep My eyes on them for good and will return them to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.
Wengena nongʼigi mondo gidhi maber, kendo anadwog-gi e pinyni. Anagergi kendo ok anamukgi; anapidhgi kendo ok anapudhgi.
7 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 all their heart.
Anamigi chuny mar ngʼeya ni an Jehova Nyasaye. Ginibed joga kendo anabed Nyasachgi, nimar giniduog ira gi chunygi duto.’
8 But like the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the LORD, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem—those remaining in this land and those living in the land of Egypt.
“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.
9 I will make them a horror and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and an object of scorn, ridicule, and cursing wherever I have banished them.
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.
10 And I will send against them sword and famine and plague, until they have perished from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’”
Anakel ligangla, kech kod masira kuomgi nyaka tiekgi e piny mane amiyogi kod wuonegi.’”
