Jeremiah 24
1 The LORD showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs [were] set before the temple of the LORD, after Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Lẹ́yìn tí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ti kó Jekoniah ọmọ Jehoiakimu ọba Juda àti àwọn ìjòyè wọn, àwọn oníṣọ̀nà àti oníṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ti Juda lọ sí ìgbèkùn láti Jerusalẹmu lọ sí ilẹ̀ àjèjì Babeli tán. Olúwa fi agbọ̀n èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ méjì hàn mí tí a gbé sí iwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa.
2 One basket [had] very good figs, [even] like the figs [that are] first ripe: and the other basket [had] very poor figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Agbọ̀n kan ni èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ tí ó dára bí èyí tí ó tètè pọ́n; èkejì sì ní èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ tí ó burú rékọjá tí kò sì le è ṣe é jẹ.
3 Then said the LORD to me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? and I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that cannot be eaten, they are so bad.
Nígbà náà ni Olúwa bi mí pé, “Kí ni ìwọ rí Jeremiah?” Mo dáhùn pe, “Èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́.” Mo dáhùn. “Èyí tí ó dáradára púpọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n èyí tí ó burú burú rékọjá tí kò sì ṣe é jẹ.”
4 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá:
5 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for [their] good.
“Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí: ‘Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ dáradára yìí ni Èmi yóò ka àwọn tí wọ́n lọ sí ilẹ̀ àjèjì láti Juda sí tí èmi rán jáde kúrò ní ibí yìí lọ sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Kaldea.
6 For I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull [them] down; and I will plant them, and not pluck [them] up.
Ojú mi yóò máa ṣọ́ wọn lọ fún rere, Èmi yóò gbé wọn ró, n kò ní já wọn lulẹ̀. Èmi yóò gbìn wọ́n, n kò sì ní fà wọ́n tu.
7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I [am] the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
Èmi yóò fún wọn ní ọkàn láti mọ̀ mí pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa.” Wọn yóò jẹ́ ènìyàn mi; Èmi ni yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn; nítorí pé wọn yóò padà sọ́dọ̀ mi pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn wọn.
8 And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
“‘Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ tí kò dára, tí ó burú tí kò ṣe é jẹ,’ ni Olúwa wí, ‘bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Èmi yóò ṣe pẹ̀lú Sedekiah ọba Juda, àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ àti àwọn tí ó yẹ ní Jerusalẹmu, yálà wọ́n wà lórí ilẹ̀ yìí tàbí wọ́n ń gbé Ejibiti.
9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
Èmi yóò sọ wọ́n di ìwọ̀sí àti ẹni ibi nínú gbogbo ìjọba ayé, láti di ẹni ìfibú àti ẹni òwe, ẹni ẹ̀sín, àti ẹni ẹ̀gàn ní ibi gbogbo tí Èmi ó lé wọn sí.
10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.
Èmi yóò rán idà, ìyàn àti àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn sí wọn, títí tí gbogbo wọn yóò parun lórí ilẹ̀ tí a fún wọn àti fún àwọn baba wọn.’”
