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.
Nitoroa’ Iehovà, te ingo ty haroñe roe pea sakoañe napok’ aolo’ i anjomba’ Iehovày eo; ie fa nasese’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele boak’ Ierosalaime ao mb’ am-pandrohizañe añe t’Iekonià ana’ Iehoiakime mpanjaka’ Iehodà naho o ana-dona’ Iehodào, rekets’ o mpandranji’eo naho o mpanefe’eo, vaho nendese’e mb’e Bavele mb’eo.
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.
An-karoñe raik’ ao ty sakoañe fanjaka, manahake o sakoañe matoeo, fe sakoañe vata’e raty, tsy mete kamaeñe, o amy hàroñe ila’eio.
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.”
Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ino o isa’o eoo, Iirmeà? Aa hoe iraho, Sakoañe; ty sakoañe soa, toe fanjaka; naho ty raty, vata’e lo tsy ho kamaeñe ami’ty haratia’e.
4 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
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.
Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, hambañe amy sakoañe soa reroy ty fisareako o ana’ Iehodà nampiakareko an-toetse toy mb’an-tane’ o nte-Kasdioo ho ami’ty hasoa.
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].
Fa hapetako am’ iereo an-kasoa o masokoo, naho hampoliko mb’an-tane atoy, vaho haràfiko fa tsy harotsako; hamboleko fa tsy hombotako.
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.’
Hitolorako arofo hahafohiñe ahy, te Izaho Iehovà; le ho ondatiko iereo, vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo iraho; amy t’ie himpoly amako an-kaliforañ’ arofo.
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.
Le ty amo sakoañe raty tsy mete kamaeñeo; hoe t’Iehovà: Toe haitoako t’i Tsidkià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, naho o roandria’eo naho ty sehanga’ Ierosalaime, o napok’ an-tane atoio vaho o mpañialo an-tane Mitsraimeo.
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.
Hanoeko fangebahebahañe amo fifehea’ ty tane toy iabio ho an-kaloloañe; ho inje naho oha-drehake, fikizahañe naho fatse, amy ze hene toetse handroahako iareo.
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.’”
Vaho hahitriko am’ iereo ty fibara naho ty kerè naho ty angorosy ampara’ t’ie mongotse amy tane natoloko iareo naho an-droae’ iareoy.
