Ieremia 24
1 HOIKE mai o Iehova ia'u, aia hoi, elua hinai fiku e kau ana ma ke alo o ka luakini o Iehova, mahope iho o ka lawe pio ana o Nebukaneza, o ke alii o Babulona ia Iekonia i ke keiki a Iehoiakima, ke alii o ka Iuda, a me na kaukaualii o ka Iuda, a me na kamana, a me na amara, mai Ierusalema aku, a lawe ia lakou i Babulona.
YHWH has showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, appointed before the temple of YHWH—after the removing by Nebuchadnezzar 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 brings them into Babylon—
2 Hookahi hinai fiku maikai loa, e like me na fiku oo mua; a o kela hinai, he fiku inoino, aole pono ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.
In one basket [are] very good figs, like the first-ripe figs, and in the other basket [are] very bad figs that are not eaten because of badness.
3 Alaila, olelo mai la o Iehova ia'u. Heaha kau e ike nei, e Ieremia? I aku la au, He mau fiku; o na fiku maikai, ua maikai loa, a o na fiku ino, ua inoino loa, aole pono ke aiia, no ko lakou inoino loa.
And YHWH says to me, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “Figs, the good figs [are] very good, and the bad [are] very bad, that are not eaten because of badness.”
4 Hiki hou mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia'u, i mai la,
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
5 Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; E like me keia mau fiku maikai, pela no wau e hoomaopopo ai i ka poe i lawepioia o ka Iuda, ka poe a'u i kipaku aku ai, mai keia wahi aku a i ka aina o ko Kaledea, i mea e pono ai.
“Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Like these good figs so I acknowledge The expulsion of Judah that I sent from this place, [To] the land of the Chaldeans—for good.
6 No ka mea, e kau no ko'u maka maluna o lakou i mea e pono ai, a e lawe hou mai no wau ia lakou i keia aina; a e kukulu no wau ia lakou, aole au e wawahi ia lakou, e kanu no wau ia lakou, aole e uhuki ia lakou.
And I have set My eyes on them for good, And have brought them back to this land, And built them up, and I do not throw down, And have planted them, and do not pluck up.
7 A e haawi no wau ia lakou i naau e ike mai ai ia'u, owau no o Iehova; a o lakou auanei ko'u poe kanaka, a owau auanei ko lakou Akua; no ka mea, e hoi mai no lakou ia'u me ko lakou naau a pau.
And have given to them a heart to know Me, For I [am] YHWH, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, For they turned back to Me with all their heart.
8 A e like me na fiku inoino, pono ole ke aiia no ka inoino loa; He oiaio, wahi a Iehova, pela no wau e haawi aku ai ia Zedekia, i ke alii o ka Iuda, a me kana poe alii, a me ke koena o Ierusalema, ka poe e koe ana ma keia aina, a me ka poe e noho ana ma ka aina o Aigupita;
And like the bad figs that are not eaten for badness, Surely thus said YHWH: So 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,
9 A haawi no wau ia lakou e laweia iloko o na aupuni a pau o ka honua nei, i mea hoopai, a i mea hoowahawaha, a i mea henehene, a i mea kuamuamu, a i mea hoopoino, ma na wahi a pau, a'u e kipaku aku ai ia lakou.
And I have given them for a trembling, For evil—to all kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for an allegory, For a byword, and for a reviling, In all the places to where I drive them.
10 A e hoouna aku au i ka pahikaua, a me ka wi, a me ka mai ahulau iwaena o lakou, a hoopauia lakou, mai ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai ia lakou, a i ko lakou poe makua.
And I have sent the sword against them, The famine and the pestilence, Until their consumption from off the ground, That I gave to them and to their fathers!”
