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.
Erga Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon Yehooyaakiin mooticha Yihuudaa ilma Yehooyaaqiimii fi qondaaltota Yihuudaa, ogeeyyii hojii harkaatii fi tumtuuwwan Yihuudaa boojiʼee Yerusaalemii gara Baabilonitti geessee booddee Waaqayyo ija harbuu guuboo lama fuula mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo duratti na argisiise.
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.
Guuboon tokko ija harbuu akka malee gaarii kan ijaa duraan bilchaate fakkaatu qaba ture; guuboon kaan immoo ija harbuu akka malee tortoree, sababii tortoruu isaatiif nyaatamuu hin dandeenye qaba ture.
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.”
Waaqayyos, “Yaa Ermiyaas, ati maal argita?” naan jedhe. Anis, “Ija harbuu nan arga; ija gaariin akka malee gaarii dha; inni tortoraan immoo sababii akka malee tortoreef nyaatamuu hin dandaʼu” jedheen deebise.
4 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara koo dhufe:
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.
“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Ani boojiʼamtoota Yihuudaa warra ani iddoo kanaa baasee biyya Baabilonotaatti erge sana akkuma ija gaarii kanaatti ija gaariin nan ilaala.
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].
Ani faayidaa isaaniitiif ija koo isaan irra buufadhee biyya kanatti deebisee isaan nan fida; ani isaanan ijaara malee isaan hin diigu; ani isaanan dhaaba malee isaan hin buqqisu.
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.’
Ani akka isaan akka ani Waaqayyo isaanii taʼe beekaniif qalbii nan kennaaf. Isaan saba koo taʼu; anis Waaqa isaanii nan taʼa; isaan garaa guutuudhaan gara kootti ni deebiʼuutii.
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.
“‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ani garuu Zedeqiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa, qondaaltota isaatii fi hambaawwan Yerusaalem kanneen biyya kana keessatti hafanii fi warra Gibxi keessa jiraatan akkuma ija harbuu kan waan akka malee tortoreef namni nyaachuu hin dandeenye sanaatti nan dhiisa.
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.
Ani fuula mootummoota lafaa hundaa duratti balfamoo fi jibbamoo isaan nan godha; iddoo ani itti isaan bittinneessu hundattis tuffatamoo, waan kolfaa, waan qoosaatii fi waan abaarsaa isaan nan godha.
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.’”
Ani hamma isaan biyya ani isaanii fi abbootii isaaniitiif kenne irraa barbadaaʼanitti goraadee, beelaa fi dhaʼicha isaanitti nan erga.’”
