Jeremaya 24
1 Emesịa, Onyenwe anyị gosiri m nkata fiig abụọ, nke a dọbara nʼihu ụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị. Nʼoge a, Nebukadneza eze Babilọn esitelarị na Jerusalem dọkpụrụ Jehoiakin nwa Jehoiakim, eze Juda, na ndịisi Juda, na ndị ọka, na ndị ụzụ, mee ka ha gaa biri na Babilọn, nke dị na mba ọzọ.
Jehovah shewed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, set before the temple of Jehovah, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive from Jerusalem, Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, and the craftsmen and smiths, and had brought them to Babylon.
2 Otu nkata nwere mkpụrụ fiig mara mma, dịka ndị ahụ na-ebu ụzọ acha, nkata nke ọzọ nwere mkpụrụ fiig nke jọrọ njọ, ha jọrọ njọ na mmadụ enweghị ike ịracha ha.
One basket had very good figs, like the figs first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten for badness.
3 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị jụrụ m ajụjụ sị m, “Jeremaya, gịnị ka ị hụrụ?” Azara m sị ya, “Ahụrụ m mkpụrụ fiig. Ụfọdụ dị nnọọ ezi mma, ma ndị ọzọ jọrọ njọ. Ha adịghịkwa mma nracha.”
And Jehovah said unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs very good; and the bad very bad, which cannot be eaten for badness.
4 Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru m ntị, sị,
And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
5 “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru: Ndị ahụ m mere ka e si na Juda dọta nʼagha, ndị e buuru gaa nʼala Kaldịa dị m dịka mkpụrụ osisi fiig ndị a mara mma.
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard for good them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans;
6 Anya m ga-adịkwasị ha nʼahụ ịhụ na ihe gaara ha nke ọma. Aga m akpọghachitekwa ha nʼala a. Aga m ewulikwa ha elu ghara ikwada ha; Aga m akụ ha dịka osisi ghara ihopu ha.
and I will set mine 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.
7 Aga m enye ha ụdị obi ha ga-eji mata m, na m bụ Onyenwe anyị. Ha ga-abụ ndị m, mụ onwe m ga-abụkwa Chineke ha. Nʼihi na obi ha niile ka ha ga-eji lọghachikwute m.
And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
8 “‘Ma dịka fiig ọjọọ ndị a, bụ ndị dị njọ nke ukwuu na-enweghị ike iri ha eri,’ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘otu a ka m gaa emeso Zedekaya, eze Juda, na ndịisi ọchịchị ya, na ndị ahụ niile fọdụrụ ndụ na Jerusalem, ma ha bi nʼime ya, maọbụ biri nʼIjipt.
And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten for badness, surely, thus saith Jehovah: So will I make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt.
9 Aga m eme ka ha ghọọrọ alaeze niile nke ụwa ihe ịsọ oyi, na ihe na-eweta obi ọjọọ. Ha ga-aghọ ihe ịta ụta, na ihe e ji akọ akụkọ, na ihe nkọcha na ihe ịbụ ọnụ nʼebe ọbụla m mere ka ha gaa biri.
And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither unto all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them;
10 Aga m ezigakwa mma agha na ụnwụ na ọrịa na-efe efe nʼetiti ha, tutu ruo mgbe e mere ka ha gwụsịa nʼelu ala ahụ nke m nyere ha, nyekwa ndị bụ nna nna ha.’”
and I will send among them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.
