Jeremiah 24
1 The Lord showed me in vision two baskets of figs placed in front of the Lord's Temple. This happened after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken to Babylon Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, as well as the leaders of Judah, and the craftsmen and metal-workers from Jerusalem.
Bayan Nebukadnezzar ya kwashi Yekoniya ɗan Yehohiyakim sarkin Yahuda da fadawa, da masu sana’a da masu zane zanen Yahuda daga Urushalima zuwa Babilon zaman bauta, Ubangiji ya nuna mini kwanduna biyu na’ya’yan ɓaure ajiye a gaban haikalin Ubangiji.
2 One basket was full of very good figs, like those that ripen early, but the other basket only had very bad figs, so bad they couldn't be eaten.
Kwando guda yana da’ya’yan ɓaure masu kyau sosai, kamar waɗanda suka nuna da wuri; ɗayan kwandon kuma yana da’ya’yan ɓaure marasa kyau, sun yi muni har ba a iya ci.
3 “Jeremiah,” the Lord asked, “what can you see?” “I see figs!” I replied. “The good figs look very good, but the bad figs look very bad, so bad they can't be eaten.”
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya tambaye ni ya ce, “Me ka gani, Irmiya?” Na ce, “’Ya’yan ɓaure. Masu kyau ɗin suna da kyau sosai, amma munanan sun yi muni har ba a iya ci.”
4 Then a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo mini cewa,
5 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: The good figs represent to me the exiles from Judah, those I have sent away from here to the country of Babylonia.
“Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, yana cewa, ‘Kamar’ya’yan ɓauren nan masu kyau, haka zan kula da mutanen Yahuda waɗanda aka kwaso waɗanda na fisshe su daga wannan wuri zuwa ƙasar Babiloniyawa
6 I will watch over them and I will bring them back to this country. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.
Idanuna za su kula da su don kyautatawarsu, zan kuma komo da su wannan ƙasa. Zan gina su ba zan rushe su ba; zan dasa su ba kuwa zan tumɓuke su ba.
7 I will give them the desire to know me, to know that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will come back completely committed to me.
Zan ba su zuciya don su san ni, cewa ni ne Ubangiji. Za su zama mutanena, zan zama Allahnsu, gama za su komo gare ni da dukan zuciyarsu.
8 But the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten, says the Lord, represent the way I will deal with Zedekiah, king of Judah, his officials, and those who are left of Jerusalem, as well as those remaining in this country and those living in Egypt.
“‘Amma kamar’ya’yan ɓauren nan marasa kyau, waɗanda sun yi muni har ba a iya ci,’ in ji Ubangiji, ‘haka zan yi da Zedekiya sarkin Yahuda, fadawansa da sauran mutanen da suka tsira a Urushalima, ko suna a wannan ƙasa ko suna zama a Masar.
9 I'm going to make an example of them that will horrify and offend everyone on earth. They will be disgraced, mocked, ridiculed, and cursed everywhere I've exiled them.
Zan mai da su abin ƙyama da masifa ga dukan mulkokin duniya, abin zargi da abin karin magana, abin ba’a da abin la’ana a duk inda zan kore su zuwa.
10 I'm going to attack them with war and famine and plague, until they're completely wiped out from the country that I gave to them and their forefathers.
Zan aika da takobi, yunwa da annoba a kansu sai an hallaka su sarai daga ƙasar da na ba su da kuma kakanninsu.’”
