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 —

Pokaza mi Gospod, i gle, dvije kotarice smokava namještene pred crkvom Gospodnjom, pošto Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski zarobi Jehoniju sina Joakimova cara Judina, i knezove Judine, i drvodjelje i kovaèe iz Jerusalima i odvede ih u Vavilon.

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.

U jednoj kotarici bijahu smokve vrlo dobre, kake bijahu rane smokve, a u drugoj kotarici bijahu vrlo rðave smokve, koje se ne mogahu jesti, tako bijahu rðave.

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.'

I reèe mi Gospod: šta vidiš, Jeremija? A ja rekoh: smokve, jedne dobre smokve, vrlo dobre, a druge rðave, vrlo rðave, koje se ne mogu jesti, tako su rðave.

4 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

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.

Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kake su te smokve dobre, tako æe mi biti dobra radi roblje Judino, koje odaslah iz ovoga mjesta u zemlju Haldejsku.

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.

I obratiæu oèi svoje na njih dobra radi, i dovešæu ih opet u ovu zemlju, i sazidaæu ih i neæu ih razoriti, i nasadiæu ih i neæu ih poèupati.

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.

Jer æu im dati srce da me poznadu da sam ja Gospod, i biæe mi narod i ja æu im biti Bog, jer æe se obratiti k meni svijem srcem svojim.

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,

A kake su te rðave smokve da se ne mogu jesti, kako su rðave, takim æu, veli Gospod, uèiniti Sedekiju cara Judina i knezove njegove i ostatak Jerusalimljana koji ostaše u ovoj zemlji i koji žive u zemlji Misirskoj.

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.

Uèiniæu da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim na zlo, da budu sramota i prièa i rug i uklin po svijem mjestima, kuda ih raždenem.

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!

I poslaæu na njih maè, glad i pomor, dokle se ne istrijebe sa zemlje, koju sam dao njima i ocima njihovijem.
