Jeremiah 24
1 Jehovah showed me, and look, two baskets of figs set before Jehovah's temple, after that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the officials of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Sima na Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, komema na bowumbu, longwa na Yelusalemi kino na Babiloni: Yekonia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakalaka ya Yuda, bato ya misala ya maboko mpe bato oyo balambaka bibende na moto; Yawe alakisaki ngai bitunga mibale ya bambuma ya figi oyo batiaki liboso ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
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.
Kitunga moko ezalaki na bambuma kitoko ya figi lokola bambuma oyo etelaka liboso; mpe kitunga mosusu ezalaki na bambuma ekawuka oyo bakoki kolia te.
3 Then Jehovah said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I said, "Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that can't be eaten, they are so bad."
Yawe atunaki ngai: — Jeremi, ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona bambuma ya figi: bambuma oyo ya kitoko ezali elengi, kasi oyo ekawuka ezali mabe mpe moto moko te akoki kolia yango.
4 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
5 "Thus says Jehovah, 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.
— Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Ndenge bambuma kitoko oyo ya figi ezali, ndenge wana mpe nazali komona bato ya Yuda oyo natindaki na bowumbu, longwa na esika oyo kino na Babiloni.
6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Miso na Ngai ekozala likolo na bango mpo na kosalela bango bolamu, mpe nakozongisa bango kati na mokili oyo. Nakobongisa bango lisusu, kasi nakobebisa bango lisusu te; nakolona bango lokola nzete, nakopikola bango lisusu te.
7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their whole heart.'
Nakopesa bango motema oyo ekoyeba Ngai, mpo ete basosola ete nazali Yawe. Bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango, pamba te bakozongela Ngai na motema na bango mobimba.
8 As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus says Jehovah, 'So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem, who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt,
Kasi ndenge bambuma ya figi oyo ekawuka ezali mabe mpe bakoki kolia yango te, » elobi Yawe, « ndenge wana mpe nakosala Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakalaka na ye mpe batikali ya Yelusalemi, ezala ba-oyo batikali na mboka mpe ba-oyo bazali na Ejipito:
9 I will make them a horror, an evil thing, to all the kingdoms of the earth, as a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them.
nakokomisa bango eloko ya koyoka somo mpe ya koyokela pasi, na miso ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele; eloko ya kotiola, eloko ya kosakanela, eloko ya maseki, eloko ya lisuma, kati na bisika nyonso epai wapi nakobengana bango.
10 I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.'"
Nakotindela bango mopanga, nzala makasi mpe bokono oyo ebomaka, kino tango ekosilisa koboma bango na mokili oyo napesaki bango elongo na batata na bango. »
