< 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.
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 An-karoñe raik’ ao ty sakoañe fanjaka, manahake o sakoañe matoeo, fe sakoañe vata’e raty, tsy mete kamaeñe, o amy hàroñe ila’eio.
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 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.
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 Le niheo amako ty tsara’ Iehovà nanao ty hoe:
And there is a word of YHWH to 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 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 hapetako am’ iereo an-kasoa o masokoo, naho hampoliko mb’an-tane atoy, vaho haràfiko fa tsy haro­tsako; hamboleko fa tsy hombotako.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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!”
