Jeremiah 24
1 Jehovah hath shewed me, and lo, two baskets of figs, appointed before the temple of Jehovah, — after the removing by Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, of Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the heads of Judah, and the artisan, and the smith, from Jerusalem, when he bringeth them into Babylon —
Seyè a fè m' wè de panyen plen fig frans kòtakòt devan gwo kay Seyè a. Lè sa a, Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, te gen tan depòte Jekonya, pitit Jojakim, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout gwo chèf peyi Jida yo, bòs atizan yo ak tout moun ki gen metye yo. Li te mennen yo tout ale lavil Babilòn.
2 In the one basket [are] figs very good, like the first-ripe figs, and in the other basket [are] figs very bad, that are not eaten for badness.
Premye panyen an te plen bèl fig frans tankou premye fig ki mi nan sezon an. Lòt panyen an te plen vye fig frans moun pa ka manje tank yo pa bon.
3 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing, Jeremiah?' and I say, 'Figs, the good figs [are] very good, and the bad [are] very bad, that are not eaten for badness.'
Lèfini, Seyè a di m' konsa: -Jeremi, kisa ou wè la a? Mwen reponn, mwen di l': -Fig frans. Bon fig yo bon anpil. Vye fig yo pa bon menm. Moun pa ka manje yo tank yo pa bon.
4 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
5 Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Like these good figs so do I acknowledge The removed of Judah — that I sent from this place, [To] the land of the Chaldeans — for good.
-Se mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la k'ap pale. Mwen konsidere moun peyi Jida yo depòte yo, moun mwen voye nan peyi Babilòn yo, tankou yon panyen bèl fig frans. Mwen pral aji byen ak yo.
6 And I have set Mine eyes on them for good, And have brought them back to this land, And built them up, and I throw not down, And have planted them, and pluck not up.
M'ap toujou voye je sou yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan peyi sa a. M'ap fè yo grandi, mwen p'ap kraze yo. M'ap plante yo, mwen p'ap derasinen yo ankò.
7 And have given to them a heart to know Me, For I [am] Jehovah, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, For they turned back unto Me with all their heart.
M'ap ba yo konprann pou yo sa konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Lè sa a, y'a yon pèp pou mwen, mwen menm m'a Bondye yo, paske y'ap tounen vin jwenn mwen ak tout kè yo.
8 And like the bad figs, that are not eaten for badness, Surely thus said Jehovah: So do I make Zedekiah king of Judah, And his heads, and the remnant of Jerusalem, Who are left in this land, And who are dwelling in the land of Egypt,
Menm sa yo fè ak vye fig ki pa bon yo, fig moun pa ka manje tèlman yo pa bon yo, se sa mwen pral fè ak Sedesyas, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout gwo chèf li yo, ak tout rès pèp lavil Jerizalèm yo ki te rete nan peyi a osinon ki te desann peyi Lejip.
9 And I have given them for a trembling, For evil — to all kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for a simile, For a byword, and for a reviling, In all the places whither I drive them.
Mwen pral mennen yon sèl malè sou yo. Tout lòt nasyon ki sou latè a pral tranble lè y'a wè sa. Moun pral pase yo nan betiz, yo pral rakonte istwa sou yo. Yo pral mete yo nan chante. Y'ap pran non yo pou sèvi jouman, pou bay madichon nan tout peyi kote mwen pral gaye yo.
10 And I have sent against them the sword, The famine and the pestilence, Till their consumption from off the ground, That I gave to them and to their fathers!
Mwen pral voye lagè, grangou ak move maladi sou yo jouk p'ap gen yonn k'ap rete nan peyi mwen te ba yo a, peyi mwen te bay zansèt yo a.
