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 showed me, and look, two baskets of figs set before YHWH'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 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 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 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 YHWH 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 Ary tonga tamiko indray ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:

The word of YHWH came 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 says YHWH, 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 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 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 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.

I will give them a heart to know me, that I am YHWH: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me 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,

As the bad figs, which can't be eaten, they are so bad, surely thus says YHWH, '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 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 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 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.

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.'"
