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.
HOIKE mai o Iehova ia'u, aia hoi, elua hinai fiku e kau ana ma ke alo o ka luakini o Iehova, mahope iho o ka lawe pio ana o Nebukaneza, o ke alii o Babulona ia Iekonia i ke keiki a Iehoiakima, ke alii o ka Iuda, a me na kaukaualii o ka Iuda, a me na kamana, a me na amara, mai Ierusalema aku, a lawe ia lakou i Babulona.
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.
Hookahi hinai fiku maikai loa, e like me na fiku oo mua; a o kela hinai, he fiku inoino, aole pono ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.
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.”
Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u. Heaha kau e ike nei, e Ieremia? I aku la au, He mau fiku; o na fiku maikai, ua maikai loa, a o na fiku ino, ua inoino loa, aole pono ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.
4 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
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.
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; E like me keia mau fiku maikai, pela no wau e hoomaopopo ai i ka poe i lawepioia o ka Iuda, ka poe a'u i kipaku aku ai, mai keia wahi aku a i ka aina o ko Kaledea, i mea e pono ai.
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].
No ka mea, e kau no ko'u maka maluna o lakou i mea e pono ai, a e lawe hou mai no wau ia lakou i keia aina; a e kukulu no wau ia lakou, aole au e wawahi ia lakou, e kanu no wau ia lakou, aole e uhuki ia lakou.
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.’
A e haawi no wau ia lakou i naau e ike mai ai ia'u, owau no o Iehova; a o lakou auanei ko'u poe kanaka, a owau auanei ko lakou Akua; no ka mea, e hoi mai no lakou ia'u me ko lakou naau a pau.
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.
A e like me na fiku inoino, pono ole ke aiia no ka inoino loa; He oiaio, wahi a Iehova, pela no wau e haawi aku ai ia Zedekia, i ke alii o ka Iuda, a me kana poe alii, a me ke koena o Ierusalema, ka poe e koe ana ma keia aina, a me ka poe e noho ana ma ka aina o Aigupita;
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.
A haawi no wau ia lakou e laweia iloko o na aupuni a pau o ka honua nei, i mea hoopai, a i mea hoowahawaha, a i mea henehene, a i mea kuamuamu, a i mea hoopoino, ma na wahi a pau, a'u e kipaku aku ai ia lakou.
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.’”
A e hoouna aku au i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau iwaena o lakou, a hoopauia lakou, mai ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, a i ko lakou poe makua.
