耶利米書 24

巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒將猶大王約雅敬的兒子耶哥尼雅和猶大的首領，並工匠、鐵匠從耶路撒冷擄去，帶到巴比倫。這事以後，耶和華指給我看，有兩筐無花果放在耶和華的殿前。

bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā jiāng yóu dà wáng yuē yǎ jìng de ér zi yē gē ní yǎ hé yóu dà de shǒu lǐng ， bìng gōng jiàng 、 tiě jiàng cóng yē lù sā lěng lǔ qù ， dài dào bā bǐ lún 。 zhè shì yǐ hòu ， yē hé huá zhǐ gěi wǒ kàn ， yǒu liǎng kuāng wú huā guǒ fàng zài yē hé huá de diàn qián 。

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.

一筐是極好的無花果，好像是初熟的；一筐是極壞的無花果，壞得不可吃。

yì kuāng shì jí hǎo de wú huā guǒ ， hǎo xiàng shì chū shú de ； yì kuāng shì jí huài de wú huā guǒ ， huài dé bù kě chī 。

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.

於是耶和華問我說：「耶利米你看見甚麼？」我說：「我看見無花果，好的極好，壞的極壞，壞得不可吃。」

yú shì yē hé huá wèn wǒ shuō ：「 yē lì mǐ nǐ kàn jiàn shén me ？」 wǒ shuō ：「 wǒ kàn jiàn wú huā guǒ ， hǎo de jí hǎo ， huài de jí huài ， huài dé bù kě chī 。」

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.”

耶和華的話臨到我說：「

yē hé huá de huà lín dào wǒ shuō ：「

The LORD’s word came to me, saying,

耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：被擄去的猶大人，就是我打發離開這地到迦勒底人之地去的，我必看顧他們如這好無花果，使他們得好處。

yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： bèi lǔ qù de yóu dà rén ， jiù shì wǒ dǎ fā lí kāi zhè dì dào jiā lè dǐ rén zhī dì qù de ， wǒ bì kàn gù tā men rú zhè hǎo wú huā guǒ ， shǐ tā men dé hǎo chù 。

“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 Chaldeans, as good.

我要眷顧他們，使他們得好處，領他們歸回這地。我也要建立他們，必不拆毀；栽植他們，並不拔出。

wǒ yào juàn gù tā men ， shǐ tā men dé hǎo chù ， lǐng tā men guī huí zhè dì 。 wǒ yě yào jiàn lì tā men ， bì bù chāi huǐ ； zāi zhí tā men ， bìng bù bá chū 。

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.

我要賜他們認識我的心，知道我是耶和華。他們要作我的子民，我要作他們的上帝，因為他們要一心歸向我。」

wǒ yào cì tā men rèn shi wǒ de xīn ， zhī dào wǒ shì yē hé huá 。 tā men yào zuò wǒ de zǐ mín ， wǒ yào zuò tā men de shén ， yīn wèi tā men yào yì xīn guī xiàng wǒ 。」

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.

耶和華如此說：「我必將猶大王西底家和他的首領，以及剩在這地耶路撒冷的餘民，並住在埃及地的猶大人都交出來，好像那極壞、壞得不可吃的無花果。

yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ：「 wǒ bì jiāng yóu dà wáng xī dǐ jiā hé tā de shǒu lǐng ， yǐ jí shèng zài zhè dì yē lù sā lěng de yú mín ， bìng zhù zài āi jí dì de yóu dà rén dōu jiāo chū lái ， hǎo xiàng nà jí huài 、 huài dé bù kě chī de wú huā guǒ 。

“‘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.

我必使他們交出來，在天下萬國中拋來拋去，遭遇災禍；在我趕逐他們到的各處成為凌辱、笑談、譏刺、咒詛。

wǒ bì shǐ tā men jiāo chū lái ， zài tiān xià wàn guó zhōng pāo lái pāo qù ， zāo yù zāi huò ； zài wǒ gǎn zhú tā men dào de gè chù chéng wéi líng rǔ 、 xiào tán 、 jī cì 、 zhòu zǔ 。

I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among 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.

我必使刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫臨到他們，直到他們從我所賜給他們和他們列祖之地滅絕。」

wǒ bì shǐ dāo jiàn 、 jī huāng 、 wēn yì lín dào tā men ， zhí dào tā men cóng wǒ suǒ cì gěi tā men hé tā men liè zǔ zhī dì miè jué 。」

I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, until they are consumed from off the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’”
