Jeremia 24

1 Jehovah naneho tamiko, ka, indreo, nisy aviavy roa sobiky voapetraka teo anoloan’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah, taorian’ ny nitondran’ i Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona, an’ i Jekonia, zanak’ i Joiakima, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy ny mpanapaka ny Joda mbamin’ ny mahay tao-zavatra sy ny mpanefy vy izay tany Jerosalema, ho babo ho any Babylona.

The Lord shewed me, and beholde, two baskets of figges were set before the Temple of the Lord, after that Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel had caryed away captiue Ieconiah ye sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, and the princes of Iudah with the workemen, and cunning men of Ierusalem, and had brought them to Babel.

2 Ny sobiky iray dia nisy aviavy tsara dia tsara, dia toy ny aviavy mialin-taona; ary ny sobiky anankiray kosa dia nisy aviavy ratsy dia ratsy, izay tsy azo hanina noho ny haratsiny.

One basket had verie good figges, euen like the figges that are first ripe: and the other basket had verie naughtie figges, which could not be eaten, they were so euill.

3 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Inona no hitanao, ry Jeremia? Ary hoy izaho: Aviavy; koa ny tsara moa dia tsara tokoa, ary ny ratsy kosa dia ratsy tokoa ka tsy azo hanina noho ny haratsiny.

Then saide the Lord vnto mee, What seest thou, Ieremiah? And I said, Figges: ye good figges verie good, and the naughtie verie naughtie, which cannot be eaten, they are so euill.

4 Ary tonga tamiko indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

5 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Tahaka ireto aviavy tsara ireto no fijeriko ny Joda voababo mba hanasoavako azy, dia ireo noroahiko niala tamin’ ity tany ity ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kaldeana.

Thus sayeth the Lord, the God of Israel, Like these good figges, so will I knowe them that are caryed away captiue of Iudah to bee good, whome I haue sent out of this place, into the land of the Caldeans.

6 Fa hojeren’ ny masoko izy mba hanasoavako azy ka hampodiko ho amin’ ity tany ity; ary haoriko izy, ka tsy horavako; ary hamboleko izy, fa tsy hongotako.

For I wil set mine eyes vpon them for good, and I will bring them againe to this lande, and I will build them, and not destroy them, and I will plant them, and not roote them out,

7 Ary homeko fo hahalalany Ahy ho Jehovah izy; dia ho oloko izy, ary Izaho kosa ho Andriamaniny; fa hiverina amiko amin’ ny fony rehetra izy.

And I will giue them an heart to knowe me, that I am the Lord, and they shalbe my people, and I wil be their God: for they shall returne vnto mee with their whole heart.

8 Ary ny amin’ ny aviavy ratsy izay tsy azo hanina kosa noho ny haratsiny, dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Toy izany no hanolorako an’ i Zedekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy ny mpanapaka ary izay sisa any Jerosalema, dia izay mbola sisa amin’ ity tany ity sy izay mitoetra any amin’ ny tany Egypta,

And as the naughtie figges which can not bee eaten, they are so euill (surely thus saith the Lord) so wil I giue Zedekiah the King of Iudah, and his princes, and the residue of Ierusalem, that remaine in this lande, and them that dwell in the lande of Egypt:

9 eny, hatolotro ho mpanjenjena sy fiharan-doza any amin’ ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany izy, ho fandatsa sy ohabolana sy ambentinteny ary fanozonana any amin’ ny tany rehetra izay handroahako azy.

I will euen giue them for a terrible plague to all the kingdomes of the earth, and for a reproche, and for a prouerbe, for a common talke, and for a curse, in all places where I shall cast them.

10 Ary hampameleziko azy ny sabatra sy ny mosary ary ny areti-mandringana ambara-pahalany ritrany tsy ho amin’ ny tany izay nomeko azy sy ny razany.

And I will sende the sworde, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they bee consumed out of the land, that I gaue vnto them and to their fathers.
