< Jeremiah 24 >

1 The LORD showed me, and behold two baskets of figs set before the temple of the LORD; after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Babilon siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni, Judah siangpahrang Jekoniah, Jehoiakim capa, Judah kahrawikung, kutsakthoumnaw hoi sumdeithoumnaw hoi Jerusalem hoi Babilon lah a ceikhai awh hnukkhu, BAWIPA ni a pâtue teh, khenhaw! thaibunglung paw bom kahni touh heh BAWIPA e bawkim e hmalah a pâhung awh.
2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
A bom buet touh dawk thaibunglung paw kahawipoung e, thaibunglung paw ka hmin pasuek e patet e hah ao. A bom alouk lae dawk teh, thaibunglung paw kahawihoehe ca hanelah kamcu hoeh totouh kahawihoehe hah ao.
3 Then said the LORD unto me: 'What seest thou, Jeremiah?' And I said: 'Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.'
BAWIPA ni kai koevah, bangne na hmu, Jeremiah telah ati. Kai ni thaibunglung paw kahawipoung e hoi kahawihoehe cakawi hoeh e telah ka ti.
4 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
BAWIPA e lawk hah kai koe a pha teh,
5 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.
BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, san ka toung e Judahnaw, Khaldean ram dawk ahawi awh nahanelah ka patoun e naw hah hete kahawi e thaibunglung paw patetlah ka khet han.
6 And I will set Mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahawi awh nahan ahnimae lathueng ka mit ka hruek vaiteh, hete ram dawk na bankhai awh han, ahnimouh ka pathung vaiteh, ka raphoe mahoeh toe, ka ung vaiteh, ka phawng mahoeh toe.
7 And I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God; for they shall return unto Me with their whole heart.
BAWIPA lah ka o thainae panuethainae lungthin hah ka poe han. Ka tami lah ao awh vaiteh, ahnimae Cathut lah ka o han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungthin abuemlahoi kai koe bout a ban awh han.
8 And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus saith the LORD: So will I make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt;
BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, thaibunglung paw kahawihoeh e, ca han kamcu hoeh totouh kahawihoehe patetlah Judah siangpahrang Zedekiah hoi kahrawikungnaw hoi Jerusalem e kacawirae hete ram dawk kaawmnaw hoi Izip dawk kho ka sak e hah ka hnamthun takhai roeroe han.
9 I will even make them a horror among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
Ka rucat poung lahoi talai uknaeram tangkuem dawk dudam hane ka hreknae ram pueng koe pahnawt, pacekpahlek, yue han hoi thoebo e lah ao nahanlah ka poe han.
10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.'
Amamouh hoi a mintoenaw koevah, ka poe e ram thung hoi a thup awh totouh, ahnimouh koe tahloi, takang, hoi lacik ka patoun han telah BAWIPA ni ati.
