Jeremijas 24

1 Tas Kungs man rādīja un redzi, tur bija nolikti divi vīģu kurvji Tā Kunga nama priekšā, kad Nebukadnecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija aizvedis Jekoniju, Jojaķima dēlu, Jūda ķēniņu līdz ar Jūda lielkungiem, un amatniekus un kalējus, un tos bija novedis no Jeruzālemes uz Bābeli.

The Lord showed me in vision two baskets of figs placed in front of the Lord's Temple. This happened after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken to Babylon Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, as well as the leaders of Judah, and the craftsmen and metal-workers from Jerusalem.

2 Vienā kurvī bija ļoti labas vīģes, kā agrejās vīģes, bet otrā kurvī bija ļoti nelāga vīģes, ko nevarēja ēst aiz viņu nelāguma.

One basket was full of very good figs, like those that ripen early, but the other basket only had very bad figs, so bad they couldn't be eaten.

3 Un Tas Kungs sacīja uz mani: ko tu redzi, Jeremija? Un es sacīju: vīģes. Tās labās vīģes ir ļoti labas un tās nelāga vīģes ir ļoti nelabas, ka nevar ēst aiz nelāguma.

“Jeremiah,” the Lord asked, “what can you see?” “I see figs!” I replied. “The good figs look very good, but the bad figs look very bad, so bad they can't be eaten.”

4 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:

Then a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

5 Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: tā kā šās vīģes labas, tā Es atzīšu par labiem tos, kas no Jūda aizvesti, ko no šās vietas esmu aizsūtījis uz Kaldeju zemi.

This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: The good figs represent to me the exiles from Judah, those I have sent away from here to the country of Babylonia.

6 Un Es Savu aci uz tiem metīšu par labu, un tos atvedīšu atpakaļ uz šo zemi, un tos uztaisīšu un nenolauzīšu, Es tos dēstīšu un neizraušu.

I will watch over them and I will bring them back to this country. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.

7 Un Es tiem došu sirdi, Mani atzīt, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, un tie Man būs par ļaudīm, un Es tiem būšu par Dievu; jo tie pie Manis atgriezīsies no visas savas sirds.

I will give them the desire to know me, to know that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will come back completely committed to me.

8 Bet kādas tās nelāga vīģes ir, ko nevar ēst aiz nelāguma, tā saka Tas Kungs, par tādiem Es darīšu Cedeķiju, Jūda ķēniņu, un viņa lielkungus un Jeruzālemes atlikušos, kas atlikuši šai zemē un kas dzīvo Ēģiptes zemē.

But the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten, says the Lord, represent the way I will deal with Zedekiah, king of Judah, his officials, and those who are left of Jerusalem, as well as those remaining in this country and those living in Egypt.

9 Un Es tos nodošu uz vārdzināšanu, uz nelaimi visās pasaules valstīs, uz nievāšanu un uz lamāšanu, uz mēdīšanu un lādēšanu visās vietās, kurp tos būšu aizdzinis.

I'm going to make an example of them that will horrify and offend everyone on earth. They will be disgraced, mocked, ridiculed, and cursed everywhere I've exiled them.

10 Un Es tiem sūtīšu zobenu, badu un mēri, tiekams tie būs izdeldēti no tās zemes, ko Es tiem un viņu tēviem esmu devis.

I'm going to attack them with war and famine and plague, until they're completely wiped out from the country that I gave to them and their forefathers.
