Yeremia 24
1 Baada ya Yekonia mwana wa Yehoyakimu mfalme wa Yuda, pamoja na maafisa, mafundi stadi na wahunzi wa Yuda, kuchukuliwa kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda Babeli na Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli kwenda uhamishoni huko Babeli, Bwana akanionyesha vikapu viwili vya tini vilivyowekwa mbele ya Hekalu la Bwana.
He showed me Yahweh and there! two baskets of figs [were] set before [the] temple of Yahweh after took into exile Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon Jeconiah [the] son of Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah and [the] officials of Judah and the craftsman and the smith[s] from Jerusalem and he brought them Babylon.
2 Kikapu kimoja kilikuwa na tini nzuri sana, kama zile za mavuno ya kwanza. Kikapu cha pili kilikuwa na tini dhaifu sana, mbovu mno zisizofaa kuliwa.
The basket one [was] figs good very like [the] figs of the early figs and the basket one [was] figs bad very which not they will be eaten from badness.
3 Kisha Bwana akaniuliza, “Je, Yeremia, unaona nini?” Nikamjibu, “Ninaona tini zile zilizo nzuri ni nzuri sana, lakini zilizo dhaifu ni mbovu mno zisizofaa kuliwa.”
And he said Yahweh to me what? [are] you seeing O Jeremiah and I said figs the figs good [are] good very and the bad [figs] [are] bad very which not they will be eaten from badness.
4 Kisha neno la Bwana likanijia:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
5 “Hili ndilo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: ‘Kama zilivyo hizi tini nzuri, ndivyo ninavyowaona kuwa bora watu wa uhamisho kutoka Yuda, niliowaondoa kutoka mahali hapa kwenda katika nchi ya Wakaldayo.
Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel like the figs good these so I will regard [the] exile[s] of Judah whom I have sent from the place this [the] land of [the] Chaldeans for good.
6 Macho yangu yatakuwa juu yao kwa ajili ya kuwapatia mema, nami nitawarudisha tena katika nchi hii. Nitawajenga wala sitawabomoa, nitawapanda wala sitawangʼoa,
And I will set eye my on them for good and I will bring back them to the land this and I will build up them and not I will tear [them] down and I will plant them and not I will pluck [them] up.
7 nitawapa moyo wa kunifahamu mimi, kwamba mimi ndimi Bwana. Watakuwa watu wangu, nami nitakuwa Mungu wao, kwa maana watanirudia kwa moyo wao wote.
And I will give to them a heart to know me that I [am] Yahweh and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God for they will return to me with all heart their.
8 “‘Lakini kama zilivyo zile tini dhaifu, ambazo ni mbovu mno zisizofaa kuliwa,’ asema Bwana, ‘ndivyo nitakavyomtendea Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda, maafisa wake na mabaki wengine kutoka Yerusalemu, wawe wamebaki katika nchi hii, au wanaishi Misri.
And like the figs bad which not they will be eaten from badness for thus - he says Yahweh so I will make Zedekiah [the] king of Judah and officials his and - [the] remnant of Jerusalem those [who] remain in the land this and those [who] dwell in [the] land of Egypt.
9 Nitawafanya kuwa chukizo kabisa na kitu cha kulaumiwa katika mataifa yote ya dunia, watakuwa aibu na kitu cha kudharauliwa, chombo cha dhihaka na kulaaniwa, popote nitakapowafukuzia.
And I will make them (into a terror *Q(K)*) into an evil to all [the] kingdoms of the earth into a reproach and into a byword into a taunt and into a curse in all the places where I will banish them there.
10 Nitautuma upanga, njaa na tauni dhidi yao hadi wawe wameangamia kutoka nchi niliyowapa wao na baba zao.’”
And I will send on them the sword the famine and the pestilence until are finished they from on the ground which I gave to them and to ancestors their.
