< Jeremiah 24 >

1 [The army of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon captured Jehoiachin, the king of Judah, and his officials, and all his skilled workers [DOU] and took them to Babylon. After that happened, Yahweh gave me a vision. [In the vision] I saw two baskets of figs that had been placed in front of the temple.
Nangipakita ni Yahweh iti maysa a banag kaniak. Nakitak iti dua a basket ti igos a naikabil iti sangoanan ti templo ni Yahweh. (Napasamak daytoy a sirmata kalpasan nga impanaw ni Nebucadnesar, nga ari iti Babilonia, ni Jeconias a putot ni Jehoyakim nga ari ti Juda, dagiti opisial ti Juda, dagiti kumikitikit, dagiti agpanpanday manipud Jerusalem ket impanna ida kas balud idiay Babilonia.)
2 One basket was full of good figs, like the kind that ripen first. The other basket was filled with figs that were bad/rotten, with the result that they could not be eaten.
Maysa a basket nga igos ti nasayaat, kasla umuna a naluom nga igos dagitoy, ngem ti sabali a basket ti igos ket nalungsot ken saan a mabalin a kanen dagitoy.
3 Then Yahweh said to me, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” I replied, “[I see some] figs. Some are very good ones, but some are very bad, with the result that no one would eat them.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Ania ti makitam Jeremias?” Kinunak, “Igos. Igos a nasayaat unay ken igos a nalungsot a saanen a mabalin a kanen.”
4 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
Ket immay kaniak ti sao ni Yahweh a kinunana,
5 “This is what [I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say that they worship], say: ‘The good figs represent [SIM] the people of Judah whom I exiled to Babylonia.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel: Talliawekto dagiti naitalaw a kas balud manipud iti Juda para iti pagsayaatanda, kas kadagitoy nasayaat nga igos, dagiti naipanaw a kas balud manipud iti daytoy a lugar nga impaipanko iti daga dagiti Caldeo.
6 I [SYN] will (watch over/take care of) them well, and [some day] I will bring them back here [to Judah]. I will establish them and cause them to be strong. I will cause them to be prosperous [MET], and I will not exile them [again].
Ikitakto dagiti matak kadakuada a maipaay iti pagsayaatanda ket isublikto ida iti daytoy a daga. Ipatakderkonto ida a saan ket a rebbaen. Imulakto ida, a saan ket a paruten.
7 I will enable them to desire to know [IDM] that I am Yahweh. They will be my people, and I will be their God, because they will return to me sincerely.’
Ket ikkakto ida iti puso a mangam-ammo kaniak, ta siak ni Yahweh. Agbalindanto a tattaok ken Siakto ti Diosda, Iti kasta agsublidanto kaniak iti amin a pusoda.
8 But [I], Yahweh, [also] say, ‘The bad figs represent [SIM] Zedekiah, the king of Judah, and his officials, and all the [other] people who remain in Jerusalem, and those who have gone to Egypt. I will do to them like people do to rotten figs.
Ngem kas iti nadadael nga igos a saanen a mabalin a kanen— kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh—Agtignayakto iti kastoy a wagas kenni Zedekias nga ari ti Juda, agraman dagiti opisialna, ken kadagiti dadduma pay iti Jerusalem a nagtalinaed iti daytoy a daga wenno mapanda agnaed iti daga ti Egipto.
9 I will [get rid of them], with the result that people in every nation on the earth will be horrified, and will hate them because they are evil people. Wherever I scatter them, people will make fun of them, and say that they are disgraced, and ridicule them, and curse them.
Pagbalinekto ida a nakabutbuteng, maysa a didigra, iti imatang dagiti amin a pagarian iti daga, maysa a nakababain, ken linaonto dagiti proverbio, pananguyaw, ken lunod iti tungga lugar a pangipanakto kadakuada.
10 And I will cause them to experience wars and famines and diseases, until they have disappeared from this land which I gave to them and to their ancestors.’”
Mangiyegakto kadakuada iti kampilan, bisin, ken didigra, aggibusdanto manipud iti daga nga intedko kadakuada ken kadagiti kapuonanda.”
