Jeremija 24

1 Pokaza mi Gospod, i gle, dvije kotarice smokava namještene pred crkvom Gospodnjom, pošto Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski zarobi Jehoniju sina Joakimova cara Judina, i knezove Judine, i drvodjelje i kovaèe iz Jerusalima i odvede ih u Vavilon.

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 U jednoj kotarici bijahu smokve vrlo dobre, kake bijahu rane smokve, a u drugoj kotarici bijahu vrlo rðave smokve, koje se ne mogahu jesti, tako bijahu rðave.

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 I reèe mi Gospod: šta vidiš, Jeremija? A ja rekoh: smokve, jedne dobre smokve, vrlo dobre, a druge rðave, vrlo rðave, koje se ne mogu jesti, tako su rðave.

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 I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:

5 Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: kake su te smokve dobre, tako æe mi biti dobra radi roblje Judino, koje odaslah iz ovoga mjesta u zemlju Haldejsku.

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 I obratiæu oèi svoje na njih dobra radi, i dovešæu ih opet u ovu zemlju, i sazidaæu ih i neæu ih razoriti, i nasadiæu ih i neæu ih poèupati.

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 Jer æu im dati srce da me poznadu da sam ja Gospod, i biæe mi narod i ja æu im biti Bog, jer æe se obratiti k meni svijem srcem svojim.

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 A kake su te rðave smokve da se ne mogu jesti, kako su rðave, takim æu, veli Gospod, uèiniti Sedekiju cara Judina i knezove njegove i ostatak Jerusalimljana koji ostaše u ovoj zemlji i koji žive u zemlji Misirskoj.

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 Uèiniæu da se potucaju po svijem carstvima zemaljskim na zlo, da budu sramota i prièa i rug i uklin po svijem mjestima, kuda ih raždenem.

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 I poslaæu na njih maè, glad i pomor, dokle se ne istrijebe sa zemlje, koju sam dao njima i ocima njihovijem.

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.
