Jeremiah 24
1 YHWH showed me, and look, two baskets of figs set before YHWH'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.
Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị gosiri m nkata fiig abụọ, nke a dọbara nʼihu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Nʼoge a, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn esitelarị na Jerusalem dọkpụrụ Jehoiakin nwa Jehoiakim, eze Juda, na ndịisi Juda, na ndị ọka, na ndị ụzụ, mee ka ha gaa biri na Babilọn, nke dị na mba ọzọ.
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.
Otu nkata nwere mkpụrụ fiig mara mma, dịka ndị ahụ na-ebu ụzọ acha, nkata nke ọzọ nwere mkpụrụ fiig nke jọrọ njọ, ha jọrọ njọ na mmadụ enweghị ike ịracha ha.
3 Then YHWH 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."
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị jụrụ m ajụjụ sị m, “Jeremaya, gịnị ka ị hụrụ?” Azara m sị ya, “Ahụrụ m mkpụrụ fiig. Ụfọdụ dị nnọọ ezi mma, ma ndị ọzọ jọrọ njọ. Ha adịghịkwa mma nracha.”
4 The word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
5 "Thus says YHWH, 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.
“Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru: Ndị ahụ m mere ka e si na Juda dọta nʼagha, ndị e buuru gaa nʼala Kaldịa dị m dịka mkpụrụ osisi fiig ndị a mara mma.
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.
Anya m ga-adịkwasị ha nʼahụ ịhụ na ihe gaara ha nke ọma. Aga m akpọghachitekwa ha nʼala a. Aga m ewulikwa ha elu ghara ikwada ha; Aga m akụ ha dịka osisi ghara ihopu ha.
7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am YHWH: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their whole heart.'
Aga m enye ha ụdị obi ha ga-eji mata m, na m bụ Onyenwe anyị. Ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha. Nʼihi na obi ha niile ka ha ga-eji lọghachikwute m.
8 As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus says YHWH, '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,
“‘Ma dịka fiig ọjọọ ndị a, bụ ndị dị njọ nke ukwuu na-enweghị ike iri ha eri,’ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘otu a ka m gaa emeso Zedekaya, eze Juda, na ndịisi ọchịchị ya, na ndị ahụ niile fọdụrụ ndụ na Jerusalem, ma ha bi nʼime ya, maọbụ biri nʼIjipt.
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.
Aga m eme ka ha ghọọrọ alaeze niile nke ụwa ihe ịsọ oyi, na ihe na-eweta obi ọjọọ. Ha ga-aghọ ihe ịta ụta, na ihe e ji akọ akụkọ, na ihe nkọcha na ihe ịbụ ọnụ nʼebe ọbụla m mere ka ha gaa biri.
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.'"
Aga m ezigakwa mma agha na ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe nʼetiti ha, tutu ruo mgbe e mere ka ha gwụsịa nʼelu ala ahụ nke m nyere ha, nyekwa ndị bụ nna nna ha.’”
