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.

YHWH has showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, appointed before the temple of YHWH—after the removing by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, of Jeconiah, son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the heads of Judah, and the artisan, and the smith, from Jerusalem, when he brings them into Babylon—

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.

In one basket [are] very good figs, like the first-ripe figs, and in the other basket [are] very bad figs that are not eaten because of badness.

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.

And YHWH says to me, “What are you seeing, Jeremiah?” And I say, “Figs, the good figs [are] very good, and the bad [are] very bad, that are not eaten because of badness.”

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

And there is a word of YHWH to 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 said YHWH, God of Israel: Like these good figs so I acknowledge The expulsion of Judah that I sent from this place, [To] the land of the Chaldeans—for good.

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.

And I have set My eyes on them for good, And have brought them back to this land, And built them up, and I do not throw down, And have planted them, and do not pluck up.

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 have given to them a heart to know Me, For I [am] YHWH, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, For they turned back to Me with all their 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 like the bad figs that are not eaten for badness, Surely thus said YHWH: So I make Zedekiah king of Judah, And his heads, and the remnant of Jerusalem, Who are left in this land, And who are dwelling in the land 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.

And I have given them for a trembling, For evil—to all kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for an allegory, For a byword, and for a reviling, In all the places to where I drive 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 have sent the sword against them, The famine and the pestilence, Until their consumption from off the ground, That I gave to them and to their fathers!”
