Jeremias 24
1 The Lord showed me two baskets of figs, lying in front of the temple of the Lord, after Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried captive Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda, and the princes, and the artificers, and the prisoners, and the rich men out of Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Pokaza mi Gospod, i gle, dvije kotarice smokava namještene pred crkvom Gospodnjom, pošto Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski zarobi Jehoniju sina Joakimova cara Judina, i knezove Judine, i drvodjelje i kovaèe iz Jerusalima i odvede ih u Vavilon.
2 The one basket was [full] of very good figs, as the early figs; and the other basket was [full] of very bad figs, which could not be eaten, for their badness.
U jednoj kotarici bijahu smokve vrlo dobre, kake bijahu rane smokve, a u drugoj kotarici bijahu vrlo rðave smokve, koje se ne mogahu jesti, tako bijahu rðave.
3 And the Lord said to me, What see you, Jeremias? and I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which can’t be eaten, for their badness.
I reèe mi Gospod: šta vidiš, Jeremija? A ja rekoh: smokve, jedne dobre smokve, vrlo dobre, a druge rðave, vrlo rðave, koje se ne mogu jesti, tako su rðave.
4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:
5 Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel; As these good figs, so will I acknowledge the Jews that have been carried away captive, whom I have sent forth out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.
Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kake su te smokve dobre, tako æe mi biti dobra radi roblje Judino, koje odaslah iz ovoga mjesta u zemlju Haldejsku.
6 And I will fix mine eyes upon them for good, and I will restore them into this land for good: and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
I obratiæu oèi svoje na njih dobra radi, i dovešæu ih opet u ovu zemlju, i sazidaæu ih i neæu ih razoriti, i nasadiæu ih i neæu ih poèupati.
7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be to me a people, and I will be to them a God: for they shall turn to me with all their heart.
Jer æu im dati srce da me poznadu da sam ja Gospod, i biæe mi narod i ja æu im biti Bog, jer æe se obratiti k meni svijem srcem svojim.
8 And as the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, for their badness; thus says the Lord, So will I deliver Sedekias king of Juda, and his nobles, and the remnant of Jerusalem, them that are left in this land, and the dwellers in Egypt.
A kake su te rðave smokve da se ne mogu jesti, kako su rðave, takim æu, veli Gospod, uèiniti Sedekiju cara Judina i knezove njegove i ostatak Jerusalimljana koji ostaše u ovoj zemlji i koji žive u zemlji Misirskoj.
9 And I will cause them to be dispersed into all the kingdoms of the earth, and they shall be for a reproach, and a proverb, and an [object of] hatred, and a curse, in every place whither I have driven them out.
Uèiniæu da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim na zlo, da budu sramota i prièa i rug i uklin po svijem mjestima, kuda ih raždenem.
10 And I will send against them famine, and pestilence, and the sword, until they are consumed from off the land which I gave them.
I poslaæu na njih maè, glad i pomor, dokle se ne istrijebe sa zemlje, koju sam dao njima i ocima njihovijem.
