Jeremiah 24

1 The LORD showed me, and look, two baskets of figs set before the LORD'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.

Pawòl SENYÈ a te demontre m, epi, gade byen, de panyen fig etranje ki te plase devan tanp SENYÈ a, lè Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fin retire Jeconia, fis a Jojakim nan, wa Juda a, dirijan a Juda yo ak gwo atizan ak bòs fòjewon Jérusalem yo pou te mennen yo Babylone.

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.

Yon panyen te gen bon fig etranje yo, tankou nan premye rekòlt yo, e lòt panyen an te gen move fig ki pa t ka manje akoz yo te pouri.

3 Then the LORD 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."

Konsa, SENYÈ a te di m: “Kisa ou wè, Jérémie?” Mwen te reponn: “Fig etranje yo, bon fig etranje yo, byen bon, ak move fig etranje yo, byen move, ki pa ka manje akoz yo pouri.”

4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

5 "Thus says 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.

“Konsa pale SENYÈ Israël a ‘Tankou bon fig etranje yo, konsa Mwen va konsidere kon bon, kaptif a Juda yo, ke m te voye sòti nan plas sa a pou antre nan peyi Kaldeyen yo.

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.

Paske Mwen va fikse zye M sou yo pou byen e Mwen va mennen yo ankò nan peyi sa a. Mwen va bati yo, e Mwen p ap rale fè yo desann. Mwen va plante yo e Mwen p ap rache yo.

7 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 to me with their whole heart.'

Mwen va bay yo yon kè pou rekonèt Mwen, ke se Mwen ki SENYÈ a. Konsa, yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo, paske yo va retounen kote Mwen ak tout kè yo.’”

8 As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus says the LORD, '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,

“Men tankou move fig etranje ki pa ka manje akoz yo pouri yo—anverite, konsa”, pale SENYÈ a—“Konsa Mwen va abandone Sédécias, wa Juda a, dirijan li yo, retay Jérusalem ki rete nan peyi sa a, ak sila ki rete nan peyi Égypte yo.

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.

Mwen va fè yo vin yon gwo laperèz ak yon mal pou tout wayòm latè yo, kon repwòch, yon vye mo, yon rizib, e yon madichon tout kote ke M gaye yo.

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.'"

Mwen va voye nepe ak gwo grangou, maladi ak bèt pou ravaje chan yo jiskaske yo fin detwi soti nan peyi ke M te bay a yo menm nan ak papa zansèt yo.”
