Jeremiah 24

1 The Lord showed me in vision two baskets of figs placed in front of the Lord's Temple. This happened after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken to Babylon Jehoiachin, son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, as well as the leaders of Judah, and the craftsmen and metal-workers from Jerusalem.

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.

2 One basket was full of very good figs, like those that ripen early, but the other basket only had very bad figs, so bad they couldn't be eaten.

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.

3 “Jeremiah,” the Lord asked, “what can you see?” “I see figs!” I replied. “The good figs look very good, but the bad figs look very bad, so bad they can't be eaten.”

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.

4 Then a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

I doðe mi rijeè Gospodnja govoreæi:

5 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: The good figs represent to me the exiles from Judah, those I have sent away from here to the country of Babylonia.

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.

6 I will watch over them and I will bring them back to this country. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them.

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.

7 I will give them the desire to know me, to know that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will come back completely committed to me.

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.

8 But the bad figs, so bad they cannot be eaten, says the Lord, represent the way I will deal with Zedekiah, king of Judah, his officials, and those who are left of Jerusalem, as well as those remaining in this country and those living in Egypt.

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.

9 I'm going to make an example of them that will horrify and offend everyone on earth. They will be disgraced, mocked, ridiculed, and cursed everywhere I've exiled them.

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.

10 I'm going to attack them with war and famine and plague, until they're completely wiped out from the country that I gave to them and their forefathers.

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