Jeremiah 24
1 The Lord gave me a vision, and I saw two baskets full of figs put in front of the Temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, had taken prisoner Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the chiefs of Judah, and the expert workmen and metal-workers from Jerusalem, and had taken them to Babylon.
Gospod mi je pokazal in glej, dve košari fig sta bili postavljeni pred Gospodovim templjem, potem ko je babilonski kralj Nebukadnezar odvedel ujetništvo Jehoníja, sina Jojakíma, Judovega kralja in Judove prince s tesarji in kovači iz Jeruzalema in jih privedel v Babilon.
2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs which first come to growth: and the other basket had very bad figs, so bad that they were of no use for food.
Ena košara je imela zelo dobre fige, celó kakor fige, ki so najprej zrele, druga košara pa je imela zelo nespodobne fige, ki se niso mogle jesti, tako slabe so bile.
3 Then the Lord said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs are very good, and the bad very bad, and of no use for food, they are so bad.
Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Kaj vidiš Jeremija?« Rekel sem: »Fige, dobre fige, zelo dobre in slabe ter zelo slabe, ki ne morejo biti pojedene, tako slabe so.«
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Ponovno je prišla k meni Gospodova beseda, rekoč:
5 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: Like these good figs, so in my eyes will be the prisoners of Judah, whom I have sent from this place into the land of the Chaldaeans for their good.
»Tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›Podobno kot te dobre fige, tako bom priznal tiste, ki so odvedeni v ujetništvo od Juda, ki sem jih poslal ven iz tega kraja, v deželo Kaldejcev, v njihovo dobro.
6 For I will keep my eyes on them for good, and I will take them back again to this land, building them up and not pulling them down, planting them and not uprooting them.
Kajti svoje oči bom naravnal nanje v dobro in jih ponovno privedel v to deželo. Pozidal jih bom in jih ne podiral, jih sadil in ne ruval.
7 And I will give them a heart to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord: and they will be my people, and I will be their God: for they will come back to me with all their heart.
Dal jim bom srce, da me spoznajo, da jaz sem Gospod. In oni bodo moje ljudstvo in jaz bom njihov Bog, kajti k meni se bodo vrnili s svojim celotnim srcem.
8 And like the bad figs which are so bad that they are of no use for food, so I will give up Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his chiefs and the rest of Jerusalem who are still in this land, and those who are in the land of Egypt:
Kakor slabe fige, ki se ne morejo jesti, tako so slabe; ‹ zagotovo tako govori Gospod: ›Tako bom izročil Judovega kralja Sedekíja, njegove prince in Jeruzalemov preostanek, ki preostane v tej deželi in tiste, ki prebivajo v egiptovski deželi.
9 I will give them up to be a cause of fear and of trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth; to be a name of shame and common talk and a cutting word and a curse in all the places wherever I will send them wandering.
Izročil jih bom, da bodo odstranjeni v vsa zemeljska kraljestva, v njihovo škodo, da bodo graja in pregovor, zbadljivka in prekletstvo, na vseh krajih, kamor jih bom pognal.
10 And I will send the sword, and need of food, and disease, among them till they are all cut off from the land which I gave to them and to their fathers.
Mednje bom poslal meč, lakoto in kužno bolezen, dokler ne bodo použiti iz dežele, ki sem jo dal njim in njihovim očetom.‹«
