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.
Lẹ́yìn tí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ti kó Jekoniah ọmọ Jehoiakimu ọba Juda àti àwọn ìjòyè wọn, àwọn oníṣọ̀nà àti oníṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ti Juda lọ sí ìgbèkùn láti Jerusalẹmu lọ sí ilẹ̀ àjèjì Babeli tán. Olúwa fi agbọ̀n èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ méjì hàn mí tí a gbé sí iwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa.
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.
Agbọ̀n kan ni èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ tí ó dára bí èyí tí ó tètè pọ́n; èkejì sì ní èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ tí ó burú rékọjá tí kò sì le è ṣe é jẹ.
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.”
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa bi mí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ rí Jeremiah?” Mo dáhùn pe, “Èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́.” Mo dáhùn. “Èyí tí ó dáradára púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí ó burú burú rékọjá tí kò sì ṣe é jẹ.”
4 Then a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
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.
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ dáradára yìí ni Èmi yóò ka àwọn tí wọ́n lọ sí ilẹ̀ àjèjì láti Juda sí tí èmi rán jáde kúrò ní ibí yìí lọ sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Kaldea.
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.
Ojú mi yóò máa ṣọ́ wọn lọ fún rere, Èmi yóò gbé wọn ró, n kò ní já wọn lulẹ̀. Èmi yóò gbìn wọ́n, n kò sì ní fà wọ́n tu.
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.
Èmi yóò fún wọn ní ọkàn láti mọ̀ mí pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa.” Wọn yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi; Èmi ni yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn; nítorí pé wọn yóò padà sọ́dọ̀ mi pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn wọn.
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.
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ tí kò dára, tí ó burú tí kò ṣe é jẹ,’ ni Olúwa wí, ‘bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Èmi yóò ṣe pẹ̀lú Sedekiah ọba Juda, àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ó yẹ ní Jerusalẹmu, yálà wọ́n wà lórí ilẹ̀ yìí tàbí wọ́n ń gbé Ejibiti.
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.
Èmi yóò sọ wọ́n di ìwọ̀sí àti ẹni ibi nínú gbogbo ìjọba ayé, láti di ẹni ìfibú àti ẹni òwe, ẹni ẹ̀sín, àti ẹni ẹ̀gàn ní ibi gbogbo tí Èmi ó lé wọn sí.
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.
Èmi yóò rán idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn sí wọn, títí tí gbogbo wọn yóò parun lórí ilẹ̀ tí a fún wọn àti fún àwọn baba wọn.’”
