Jeremia 24
1 Nitoroa’ Iehovà, te ingo ty haroñe roe pea sakoañe napok’ aolo’ i anjomba’ Iehovày eo; ie fa nasese’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele boak’ Ierosalaime ao mb’ am-pandrohizañe añe t’Iekonià ana’ Iehoiakime mpanjaka’ Iehodà naho o ana-dona’ Iehodào, rekets’ o mpandranji’eo naho o mpanefe’eo, vaho nendese’e mb’e Bavele mb’eo.
The Lord caused me to see, and, behold, there were two baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon had carried away into exile Yechonyahu the son of Yehoyakim the king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and the locksmiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
2 An-karoñe raik’ ao ty sakoañe fanjaka, manahake o sakoañe matoeo, fe sakoañe vata’e raty, tsy mete kamaeñe, o amy hàroñe ila’eio.
The 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, from being so bad.
3 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako: Ino o isa’o eoo, Iirmeà? Aa hoe iraho, Sakoañe; ty sakoañe soa, toe fanjaka; naho ty raty, vata’e lo tsy ho kamaeñe ami’ty haratia’e.
Then said the Lord unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs, are very good; and the bad ones, are very bad, which cannot be eaten, from being so bad.
4 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 Hoe t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, hambañe amy sakoañe soa reroy ty fisareako o ana’ Iehodà nampiakareko an-toetse toy mb’an-tane’ o nte-Kasdioo ho ami’ty hasoa.
Thus hath said the Lord, the God of Israel, Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge the exiles of Judah, whom I have sent away from this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for good.
6 Fa hapetako am’ iereo an-kasoa o masokoo, naho hampoliko mb’an-tane atoy, vaho haràfiko fa tsy harotsako; hamboleko fa tsy hombotako.
And I will set my eye upon them for good, and I will cause them to return again to this land; and I will build them up, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
7 Hitolorako arofo hahafohiñe ahy, te Izaho Iehovà; le ho ondatiko iereo, vaho ho Andrianañahare’ iareo iraho; amy t’ie himpoly amako an-kaliforañ’ arofo.
And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will be unto them for God! for they will return unto me with all their heart.
8 Le ty amo sakoañe raty tsy mete kamaeñeo; hoe t’Iehovà: Toe haitoako t’i Tsidkià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, naho o roandria’eo naho ty sehanga’ Ierosalaime, o napok’ an-tane atoio vaho o mpañialo an-tane Mitsraimeo.
And like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, from being so bad, surely thus hath said the Lord, So I will render Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and those that dwell in the land of Egypt;
9 Hanoeko fangebahebahañe amo fifehea’ ty tane toy iabio ho an-kaloloañe; ho inje naho oha-drehake, fikizahañe naho fatse, amy ze hene toetse handroahako iareo.
And I will make them a horror because of [their] mishaps unto all the kingdoms of the earth, a disgrace and a proverb, a byword and a curse, in all the places whither I will drive them.
10 Vaho hahitriko am’ iereo ty fibara naho ty kerè naho ty angorosy ampara’ t’ie mongotse amy tane natoloko iareo naho an-droae’ iareoy.
And I will send out against them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, till they be destroyed from off the land that I had given unto them and to their fathers.
