< Jeremiah 24 >

1 YHWH has showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, appointed before the temple of YHWH—after the removing by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, of Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the heads of Judah, and the artisan, and the smith, from Jerusalem, when he brings them into Babylon—
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 In one basket [are] very good figs, like the first-ripe figs, and in the other basket [are] very bad figs that are not eaten because of badness.
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 And YHWH says to me, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “Figs, the good figs [are] very good, and the bad [are] very bad, that are not eaten because of badness.”
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 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
5 “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Like these good figs so I acknowledge The expulsion of Judah that I sent from this place, [To] the land of the Chaldeans—for good.
“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 And I have set My eyes on them for good, And have brought them back to this land, And built them up, and I do not throw down, And have planted them, and do not pluck up.
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 have given to them a heart to know Me, For I [am] YHWH, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, For they turned back to Me with all their 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 like the bad figs that are not eaten for badness, Surely thus said YHWH: So I make Zedekiah king of Judah, And his heads, and the remnant of Jerusalem, Who are left in this land, And who are dwelling in the land 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 And I have given them for a trembling, For evil—to all kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for an allegory, For a byword, and for a reviling, In all the places to where I drive 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 have sent the sword against them, The famine and the pestilence, Until their consumption from off the ground, That I gave to 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.’”
