Jeremiah 24
1 The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs set before the temple of the LORD; after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Seyè a fè m' wè de panyen plen fig frans kòtakòt devan gwo kay Seyè a. Lè sa a, Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, te gen tan depòte Jekonya, pitit Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout gwo chèf peyi Jida yo, bòs atizan yo ak tout moun ki gen metye yo. Li te mennen yo tout ale lavil Babilòn.
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.
Premye panyen an te plen bèl fig frans tankou premye fig ki mi nan sezon an. Lòt panyen an te plen vye fig frans moun pa ka manje tank yo pa bon.
3 Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
Lèfini, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Jeremi, kisa ou wè la a? Mwen reponn, mwen di l': -Fig frans. Bon fig yo bon anpil. Vye fig yo pa bon menm. Moun pa ka manje yo tank yo pa bon.
4 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
5 Thus saith 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.
-Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la k'ap pale. Mwen konsidere moun peyi Jida yo depòte yo, moun mwen voye nan peyi Babilòn yo, tankou yon panyen bèl fig frans. Mwen pral aji byen ak yo.
6 For I will set mine eyes upon 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.
M'ap toujou voye je sou yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi sa a. M'ap fè yo grandi, mwen p'ap kraze yo. M'ap plante yo, mwen p'ap derasinen yo ankò.
7 And I will give them an 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 unto me with their whole heart.
M'ap ba yo konprann pou yo sa konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Lè sa a, y'a yon pèp pou mwen, mwen menm m'a Bondye yo, paske y'ap tounen vin jwenn mwen ak tout kè yo.
8 And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
Menm sa yo fè ak vye fig ki pa bon yo, fig moun pa ka manje tèlman yo pa bon yo, se sa mwen pral fè ak Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout gwo chèf li yo, ak tout rès pèp lavil Jerizalèm yo ki te rete nan peyi a osinon ki te desann peyi Lejip.
9 I will even give them up to be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
Mwen pral mennen yon sèl malè sou yo. Tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè a pral tranble lè y'a wè sa. Moun pral pase yo nan betiz, yo pral rakonte istwa sou yo. Yo pral mete yo nan chante. Y'ap pran non yo pou sèvi jouman, pou bay madichon nan tout peyi kote mwen pral gaye yo.
10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.
Mwen pral voye lagè, grangou ak move maladi sou yo jouk p'ap gen yonn k'ap rete nan peyi mwen te ba yo a, peyi mwen te bay zansèt yo a.
