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 army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon captured Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and his officials, and all his skilled workers [DOU] and took them to Babylon. After that happened, Yahweh gave me a vision. [In the vision] I saw two baskets of figs that had been placed in front of the temple.

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 good figs, like the kind that ripen first. The other basket was filled with figs that were bad/rotten, with the result that they could not 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.

Then Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I replied, “[I see some] figs. Some are very good ones, but some are very bad, with the result that no one would eat them.”

4 Tad Tā Kunga vārds uz mani notika sacīdams:

Then Yahweh gave me this message:

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 [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say that they worship], say: ‘The good figs represent [SIM] the people of Judah whom I exiled to 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 [SYN] will (watch over/take care of) them well, and [some day] I will bring them back here [to Judah]. I will establish them and cause them to be strong. I will cause them to be prosperous [MET], and I will not exile them [again].

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 enable them to desire to know [IDM] that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God, because they will return to me sincerely.’

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 [I], Yahweh, [also] say, ‘The bad figs represent [SIM] Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his officials, and all the [other] people who remain in Jerusalem, and those who have gone to Egypt. I will do to them like people do to rotten figs.

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 [get rid of them], with the result that people in every nation on the earth will be horrified, and will hate them because they are evil people. Wherever I scatter them, people will make fun of them, and say that they are disgraced, and ridicule them, and curse 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.

And I will cause them to experience wars and famines and diseases, until they have disappeared from this land which I gave to them and to their ancestors.’”
