Jeremias 24
1 The Lord showed me two baskets of figs, lying in front of the temple of the Lord, after Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried captive Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda, and the princes, and the artificers, and the prisoners, and the rich men out of Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Sima na Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, komema na bowumbu, longwa na Yelusalemi kino na Babiloni: Yekonia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakalaka ya Yuda, bato ya misala ya maboko mpe bato oyo balambaka bibende na moto; Yawe alakisaki ngai bitunga mibale ya bambuma ya figi oyo batiaki liboso ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
2 The one basket was [full] of very good figs, as the early figs; and the other basket was [full] of very bad figs, which could not be eaten, for their badness.
Kitunga moko ezalaki na bambuma kitoko ya figi lokola bambuma oyo etelaka liboso; mpe kitunga mosusu ezalaki na bambuma ekawuka oyo bakoki kolia te.
3 And the Lord said to me, What see you, Jeremias? and I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which can’t be eaten, for their badness.
Yawe atunaki ngai: — Jeremi, ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona bambuma ya figi: bambuma oyo ya kitoko ezali elengi, kasi oyo ekawuka ezali mabe mpe moto moko te akoki kolia yango.
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
5 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel; As these good figs, so will I acknowledge the Jews that have been carried away captive, whom I have sent forth out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.
— Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Ndenge bambuma kitoko oyo ya figi ezali, ndenge wana mpe nazali komona bato ya Yuda oyo natindaki na bowumbu, longwa na esika oyo kino na Babiloni.
6 And I will fix mine eyes upon them for good, and I will restore them into this land for good: and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Miso na Ngai ekozala likolo na bango mpo na kosalela bango bolamu, mpe nakozongisa bango kati na mokili oyo. Nakobongisa bango lisusu, kasi nakobebisa bango lisusu te; nakolona bango lokola nzete, nakopikola bango lisusu te.
7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God: for they shall turn to me with all their heart.
Nakopesa bango motema oyo ekoyeba Ngai, mpo ete basosola ete nazali Yawe. Bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango, pamba te bakozongela Ngai na motema na bango mobimba.
8 And as the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, for their badness; thus says the Lord, So will I deliver Sedekias king of Juda, and his nobles, and the remnant of Jerusalem, them that are left in this land, and the dwellers in Egypt.
Kasi ndenge bambuma ya figi oyo ekawuka ezali mabe mpe bakoki kolia yango te, » elobi Yawe, « ndenge wana mpe nakosala Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakalaka na ye mpe batikali ya Yelusalemi, ezala ba-oyo batikali na mboka mpe ba-oyo bazali na Ejipito:
9 And I will cause them to be dispersed into all the kingdoms of the earth, and they shall be for a reproach, and a proverb, and an [object of] hatred, and a curse, in every place whither I have driven them out.
nakokomisa bango eloko ya koyoka somo mpe ya koyokela pasi, na miso ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele; eloko ya kotiola, eloko ya kosakanela, eloko ya maseki, eloko ya lisuma, kati na bisika nyonso epai wapi nakobengana bango.
10 And I will send against them famine, and pestilence, and the sword, until they are consumed from off the land which I gave them.
Nakotindela bango mopanga, nzala makasi mpe bokono oyo ebomaka, kino tango ekosilisa koboma bango na mokili oyo napesaki bango elongo na batata na bango. »
