Jeremiah 24
1 [The army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon captured Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and his officials, and all his skilled workers [DOU] and took them to Babylon. After that happened, Yahweh gave me a vision. [In the vision] I saw two baskets of figs that had been placed in front of the temple.
Bangʼ ka Jehoyakin wuod Jehoyakim ruodh Juda kod jotelo, jopecho kod jogoro mag Juda ne oseter e twech koa Jerusalem nyaka Babulon gi Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon, Jehova Nyasaye nonyisa kikepni ariyo mag ngʼope koketi e nyim hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
2 One basket was full of good figs, like the kind that ripen first. The other basket was filled with figs that were bad/rotten, with the result that they could not be eaten.
Okapu achiel ne nigi ngʼope mabeyo ahinya, kod mago mane osechiek chon; okapu machielo ne nigi ngʼope maricho, marach moloyo ma ok nyal cham.
3 Then Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I replied, “[I see some] figs. Some are very good ones, but some are very bad, with the result that no one would eat them.”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenja niya, “En angʼo mineno, Jeremia?” Ne odwoko niya, “Aneno ngʼope. Mabeyo to beyo ahinya, to maricho to richo ahinya ma ok nyal cham.”
4 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobirona:
5 “This is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say that they worship], say: ‘The good figs represent [SIM] the people of Judah whom I exiled to Babylonia.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Ka ngʼope mabeyogi, akawo jogo moa Juda kodhi e twech kaka joma beyo, mane agolo kae kadhi e piny jo-Babulon.
6 I [SYN] will (watch over/take care of) them well, and [some day] I will bring them back here [to Judah]. I will establish them and cause them to be strong. I will cause them to be prosperous [MET], and I will not exile them [again].
Wengena nongʼigi mondo gidhi maber, kendo anadwog-gi e pinyni. Anagergi kendo ok anamukgi; anapidhgi kendo ok anapudhgi.
7 I will enable them to desire to know [IDM] that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God, because they will return to me sincerely.’
Anamigi chuny mar ngʼeya ni an Jehova Nyasaye. Ginibed joga kendo anabed Nyasachgi, nimar giniduog ira gi chunygi duto.’
8 But [I], Yahweh, [also] say, ‘The bad figs represent [SIM] Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his officials, and all the [other] people who remain in Jerusalem, and those who have gone to Egypt. I will do to them like people do to rotten figs.
“Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘To mana kaka ngʼope maricho, ma ok nyal cham, e kaka anatimne Zedekia ruodh Juda, jotende kod jogo motony moa Jerusalem, kata obedo ni gidongʼ e pinyni kata gidak Misri.
9 I will [get rid of them], with the result that people in every nation on the earth will be horrified, and will hate them because they are evil people. Wherever I scatter them, people will make fun of them, and say that they are disgraced, and ridicule them, and curse them.
Abiro kelo kuomgi achaya kendo joma ok dwar gi pinjeruodhi duto manie piny, ma wangʼo ich kendo itiyo godo kaka ranyisi, gima ibwogogo ji kendo ikwongʼogo, ka moro amora ma aterogie.
10 And I will cause them to experience wars and famines and diseases, until they have disappeared from this land which I gave to them and to their ancestors.’”
Anakel ligangla, kech kod masira kuomgi nyaka tiekgi e piny mane amiyogi kod wuonegi.’”
