Jeremiah 24

1 Jehovah shewed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, set before the temple of Jehovah, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive from Jerusalem, Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, and the craftsmen and smiths, 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 first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten for badness.

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 And Jehovah said unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs very good; and the bad very bad, which cannot be eaten for badness.

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 unto me, saying,

Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

5 Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard for good them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans;

“Nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, nunku tuh mwet ma utukla nu Babylonia elos oana fig wo inge, ac nga fah kulang nu selos.

6 and I will set mine 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 unto 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 for badness, surely, thus saith Jehovah: So will I make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that 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 And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither unto all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither 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 among them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto 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.”
