Jeremiah 24
1 The Lord caused me to see, and, behold, there were two baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon had carried away into exile Yechonyahu the son of Yehoyakim the king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and the locksmiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sik fotoh in fig luo ma filiyuki mutun Tempul. (Ma se inge sikyak tukun Tokosra Nebuchadnezzar lun Babylonia el usalla Tokosra Jehoiachin lun Judah, wen natul Jehoiakim, tuh elan sie mwet sruoh liki acn Jerusalem nu Babylonia, wi mwet kol lun Judah, mwet tufahl, ac mwet usrnguk ke orekma.)
2 The 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, from being so bad.
Fotoh se meet ah fig wowo oan loac, ma sa in mwesrla. Fotoh se ngia fig na koluk oan loac, tiana ku in mongo.
3 Then said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs, are very good; and the bad ones, are very bad, which cannot be eaten, from being so bad.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, mea kom liye an?” Nga topuk, “Fig — ma wo kac ah arulana wo, a ma koluk kac ah arulana koluk, tia ku in mongo.”
4 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Ouinge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
5 Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge the exiles of Judah, whom I have sent away from this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.
“Nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, nunku tuh mwet ma utukla nu Babylonia elos oana fig wo inge, ac nga fah kulang nu selos.
6 And I will set my eye upon them for good, and I will cause them to return again to this land; and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Nga fah liyalosyang ac folokunulosme nu in facl se inge. Nga ac fah musaelosyak ac tia kunauselosla. Nga fah yokwalosi ac tia fusulosyak.
7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto them for God! for they will return unto me with all their heart.
Nga fah oru tuh insialos in kena eteyu lah nga pa LEUM GOD. Na elos ac fah mwet luk, ac nga ac fah God lalos, mweyen elos ac foloko nu yuruk ke inse pwaye.
8 And like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, from being so bad, surely thus hath said the Lord, So I will render Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and those that dwell in the land of Egypt;
“Ac funu kacl Tokosra Zedekiah lun Judah, wi mwet fulat ma raunella, ac mwet saya Jerusalem su muta in facl se inge ku elos su mukuila nu Egypt — nga, LEUM GOD, fah lumahlos oana fig koluk inge ma arulana koluk in mongo.
9 And I will make them a horror because of [their] mishaps unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and a proverb, a byword and a curse, in all the places whither I will drive them.
Nga fah oru sie kain kunausten nu faclos ma mutunfacl nukewa faclu fah arulana sangeng kac. Yen nukewa nga luseloselik nu we, mwet uh ac fah isrunulos, orek tafukas kaclos, angnolos, ac orekmakin inelos in mwe selnga lalos.
10 And I will send out against them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, till they be destroyed from off the land that I had given unto them and to their fathers.
Nga fah use mweun, sracl, ac mas lulap nu faclos nwe ke na wanginla mwet in facl se su nga sang nu selos ac mwet matu lalos.”
