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.

Yahweh shewed me, and lo! two baskets of figs, which had been set before the temple of Yahweh, —after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive, Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the princes of Judah and the carpenters and the smiths out of Jerusalem, and had brought 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.

the one basket, was of very good figs, like the first-ripe figs; and, the other basket, was of very bad figs, which could not be eaten for 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.

Then said Yahweh unto me, —What canst thou see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, for badness.

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

Then came the word of Yahweh unto 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, saith Yahweh God of Israel, Like these good figs, so, will I regard them of Judah who are carried into captivity, 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.

Therefore will I set mine eye upon them for good, and will bring them back upon this land, —and will build them up, and not pull them down, and will plant them and not root 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.

and will give them a heart to know, me, that, I, am Yahweh, So shall they become my people, And, I, will become their God; for they will return unto 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, which cannot be eaten for badness, Surely thus, saith Yahweh—so, will I deliver up Zedekiah king of Judah, and his princes and the remnant of Jerusalem that remain in this land, and them 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.

yea I will deliver them up, as a terror of calamity, to all the kingdoms of the earth, —as a reproach and as a byword, as a mockery and as a contempt, in every place whither I will 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 will send among them, sword famine and pestilence, —until they are consumed from off the soil which I gave to them and to their fathers.
