< 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.)
Показа мне Господь, и се, две кошницы полны смоквий поставлены пред храмом Господним, повнегда преведе Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский Иехонию сына Иоакимова, царя Иудина, и началников его и художников, и узников и богатых от Иерусалима, и преведе их в Вавилон.
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.
Кошница едина смоквий добрых зело, яко обычай смоквам быти первых времен, и кошница другая смоквий злых зело, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их.
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.”
И рече Господь ко мне: что ты видиши, Иеремие? И рекох: смокви, смокви добрыя, добры зело: и злыя, злы зело, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их.
4 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне, рекущее:
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.
сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: якоже смокви сия благи, тако познаю преселеных Иудеев, ихже послах от места сего в землю Халдейску во благая:
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.
и утвержу очи Мои на них во благая и преведу их паки в землю сию во благая: и возсозижду их и не разорю, и насажду их и не исторгну:
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.
и дам им сердце, да уведят Мя, яко Аз есмь Господь, и будут Мне в люди, и Аз буду им в Бога: понеже обратятся ко Мне всем сердцем своим.
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.
И якоже смокви злыя, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их, сия рече Господь, тако предам Седекию царя Иудина и началники его и останок от Иерусалима, иже осташа во граде сем и иже обитают во земли Египетстей,
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.
и дам их в расточение и озлобление всем царствам земным, и будут в поношение и в притчу, и в ненависть и в проклятие во всех местех, в няже извергох их:
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.”
и послю на них мечь и глад и пагубу, дондеже изчезнут от земли, юже дах им и отцем их.
