< Jeremiah 24 >

1 Yahweh showed me something. Behold, two baskets of figs were placed before Yahweh's temple. (This vision happened after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took into exile Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, the officials of Judah, the craftsmen and the metalworkers from Jerusalem and brought them to Babylon.)
Nangipakita ni Yahweh iti maysa a banag kaniak. Nakitak iti dua a basket ti igos a naikabil iti sangoanan ti templo ni Yahweh. (Napasamak daytoy a sirmata kalpasan nga impanaw ni Nebucadnesar, nga ari iti Babilonia, ni Jeconias a putot ni Jehoyakim nga ari ti Juda, dagiti opisial ti Juda, dagiti kumikitikit, dagiti agpanpanday manipud Jerusalem ket impanna ida kas balud idiay Babilonia.)
2 One basket of figs was very good, like first ripe figs, but the other basket of figs was so very bad that they could not be eaten.
Maysa a basket nga igos ti nasayaat, kasla umuna a naluom nga igos dagitoy, ngem ti sabali a basket ti igos ket nalungsot ken saan a mabalin a kanen dagitoy.
3 Yahweh said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs. Figs that are very good and figs that are so very bad they cannot be eaten.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Ania ti makitam Jeremias?” Kinunak, “Igos. Igos a nasayaat unay ken igos a nalungsot a saanen a mabalin a kanen.”
4 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Ket immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kinunana,
5 “Yahweh, God of Israel, says this: I will look on the exiles of Judah for their benefit, just like these good figs, the exiles whom I have sent out from this place to the land of Chaldea.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: Talliawekto dagiti naitalaw a kas balud manipud iti Juda para iti pagsayaatanda, kas kadagitoy nasayaat nga igos, dagiti naipanaw a kas balud manipud iti daytoy a lugar nga impaipanko iti daga dagiti Caldeo.
6 I will set my eyes on them for good and restore them to this land. I will build them up, and not tear them down. I will plant them, and not uproot them.
Ikitakto dagiti matak kadakuada a maipaay iti pagsayaatanda ket isublikto ida iti daytoy a daga. Ipatakderkonto ida a saan ket a rebbaen. Imulakto ida, a saan ket a paruten.
7 Then I will give them a heart to know me, for I am Yahweh. They will be my people and I will be their God, so they will turn to me with all their heart.
Ket ikkakto ida iti puso a mangam-ammo kaniak, ta siak ni Yahweh. Agbalindanto a tattaok ken Siakto ti Diosda, Iti kasta agsublidanto kaniak iti amin a pusoda.
8 But like the bad figs that are too bad to be eaten—this is what Yahweh says—I will act in this way with Zedekiah, king of Judah, with his officials, and with the rest of Jerusalem who remain in this land or go to stay in the land of Egypt.
Ngem kas iti nadadael nga igos a saanen a mabalin a kanen— kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh—Agtignayakto iti kastoy a wagas kenni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda, agraman dagiti opisialna, ken kadagiti dadduma pay iti Jerusalem a nagtalinaed iti daytoy a daga wenno mapanda agnaed iti daga ti Egipto.
9 I will turn them into a frightening thing, a disaster, in the sight of all the kingdoms on earth, a disgrace and a subject for proverbs, taunts, and curses in every place where I will have driven them.
Pagbalinekto ida a nakabutbuteng, maysa a didigra, iti imatang dagiti amin a pagarian iti daga, maysa a nakababain, ken linaonto dagiti proverbio, pananguyaw, ken lunod iti tungga lugar a pangipanakto kadakuada.
10 I will send out sword, famine, and plague against them, until they are destroyed from the land that I gave them and their ancestors.”
Mangiyegakto kadakuada iti kampilan, bisin, ken didigra, aggibusdanto manipud iti daga nga intedko kadakuada ken kadagiti kapuonanda.”
