Jeremiah 24
1 The Lord shewed me, and beholde, two baskets of figges were set before the Temple of the Lord, after that Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel had caryed away captiue Ieconiah ye sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, and the princes of Iudah with the workemen, and cunning men of Ierusalem, and had brought them to Babel.
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 had verie good figges, euen like the figges that are first ripe: and the other basket had verie naughtie figges, which could not be eaten, they were so euill.
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 Then saide the Lord vnto mee, What seest thou, Ieremiah? And I said, Figges: ye good figges verie good, and the naughtie verie naughtie, which cannot be eaten, they are so euill.
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 Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
5 Thus sayeth the Lord, the God of Israel, Like these good figges, so will I knowe them that are caryed away captiue of Iudah to bee good, whome I haue sent out of this place, into the land of the Caldeans.
“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 For I wil set mine eyes vpon them for good, and I will bring them againe to this lande, and I will build them, and not destroy them, and I will plant them, and not roote them out,
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 And I will giue them an heart to knowe me, that I am the Lord, and they shalbe my people, and I wil be their God: for they shall returne vnto mee with their whole heart.
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 And as the naughtie figges which can not bee eaten, they are so euill (surely thus saith the Lord) so wil I giue Zedekiah the King of Iudah, and his princes, and the residue of Ierusalem, that remaine in this lande, and them that dwell in the lande of 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 will euen giue them for a terrible plague to all the kingdomes of the earth, and for a reproche, and for a prouerbe, for a common talke, and for a curse, in all places where I shall cast 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 And I will sende the sworde, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they bee consumed out of the land, that I gaue vnto them and to their fathers.
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.’”
