< 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, and look, two baskets of figs set before the LORD's temple, after that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the officials of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
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 had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
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.
Then the LORD said to me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I said, "Figs; the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, that can't be eaten, they are so bad."
4 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:
The word of 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.
"Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.
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.
For I will set my eyes on 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 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 a heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their whole heart.'
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.
As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus says the LORD, 'So will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem, who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of 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 will make them a horror, an evil thing, to all the kingdoms of the earth, as a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive 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 will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.'"
