< Jeremiah 24 >

1 The LORD showed me, and behold, two baskets of figs were set before the LORD’s temple, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the craftsmen and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Показа мне Господь, и се, две кошницы полны смоквий поставлены пред храмом Господним, повнегда преведе Навуходоносор царь Вавилонский Иехонию сына Иоакимова, царя Иудина, и началников его и художников, и узников и богатых от Иерусалима, и преведе их в Вавилон.
2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first-ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Кошница едина смоквий добрых зело, яко обычай смоквам быти первых времен, и кошница другая смоквий злых зело, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их.
3 Then the LORD asked me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs. The good figs are very good, and the bad are very bad, so bad that they can’t be eaten.”
И рече Господь ко мне: что ты видиши, Иеремие? И рекох: смокви, смокви добрыя, добры зело: и злыя, злы зело, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их.
4 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
И бысть слово Господне ко мне, рекущее:
5 “The LORD, the God of Israel says: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Kasdim, as good.
сия глаголет Господь Бог Израилев: якоже смокви сия благи, тако познаю преселеных Иудеев, ихже послах от места сего в землю Халдейску во благая:
6 For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land. I will build them, and not pull them down. I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
и утвержу очи Мои на них во благая и преведу их паки в землю сию во благая: и возсозижду их и не разорю, и насажду их и не исторгну:
7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God; for they will return to me with their whole heart.
и дам им сердце, да уведят Мя, яко Аз есмь Господь, и будут Мне в люди, и Аз буду им в Бога: понеже обратятся ко Мне всем сердцем своим.
8 “‘As the bad figs, which can’t be eaten, they are so bad,’ surely the LORD says, ‘So I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt.
И якоже смокви злыя, ихже ясти не возможно за худость их, сия рече Господь, тако предам Седекию царя Иудина и началники его и останок от Иерусалима, иже осташа во граде сем и иже обитают во земли Египетстей,
9 I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth amongst all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them.
и дам их в расточение и озлобление всем царствам земным, и будут в поношение и в притчу, и в ненависть и в проклятие во всех местех, в няже извергох их:
10 I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence amongst them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’”
и послю на них мечь и глад и пагубу, дондеже изчезнут от земли, юже дах им и отцем их.
