Jeremias 24
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Dalawang Basket ng Igos
24 May ipinakitang pangitain sa akin ang Panginoon pagkatapos bihagin ni Haring Nebucadnezar ng Babilonia si Haring Jehoyakin ng Juda na anak ni Jehoyakim. Si Jehoyakin ay dinala sa Babilonia pati ang mga pinuno niya at ang mahuhusay na panday at manggagawa ng Juda. Sa pangitain ko, nakita ko ang dalawang basket na igos na nasa harap ng templo ng Panginoon. 2 Ang mga igos sa isang basket ay sariwa at maganda, hinog, at bagong pitas. Pero ang mga igos naman sa isang basket ay mga bulok at hindi na makain.
3 Pagkatapos, nagtanong sa akin ang Panginoon, “Jeremias, ano ang nakita mo?” Sumagot ako, “Mga igos po. Ang ibaʼy maganda at sariwa, pero ang iba ay bulok at hindi na makain.”
4 Pagkatapos, sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, 5 “Ako, ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel ay nagsasabing ituturing kong parang magagandang igos ang mga Israelitang ipinabihag ko sa mga taga-Babilonia.[a] 6 Iingatan ko sila para maging mabuti ang kalagayan nila at ibabalik ko sila sa lupaing ito. Muli ko silang itatayo at hindi na lilipulin. Patatatagin ko sila at hindi na bubunutin. 7 Bibigyan ko sila ng pusong kikilala sa akin na ako ang Panginoon. Magiging mamamayan ko sila, at akoʼy magiging kanilang Dios, dahil magbabalik-loob na sila sa akin ng taos-puso.
8 “Pero si Haring Zedekia ng Juda ay ituturing kong parang bulok na igos na hindi na makakain, pati ang mga pinuno niya at ang lahat ng Israelitang natitirang buhay sa Jerusalem o sa Egipto. 9 Gagawin ko silang kasuklam-suklam sa lahat ng kaharian sa buong mundo. Kukutyain at susumpain sila sa lahat ng bansa kung saan ko sila pangangalatin. 10 Padadalhan ko sila ng digmaan, gutom at sakit hanggang sa mamatay sila sa lupaing ibinigay ko sa kanila at sa mga ninuno nila.”

Jeremiah 24
New King James Version
The Sign of Two Baskets of Figs
24 The (A)Lord showed me, and there were two baskets of figs set before the temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadnezzar (B)king of Babylon had carried away captive (C)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. 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 (D)bad. 3 Then the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?”
And I said, “Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad.”
4 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 5 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I [a]acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. 6 For I will set My eyes on them for good, and (E)I will bring them back to this land; (F)I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. 7 Then I will give them (G)a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be (H)My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me (I)with their whole heart.
8 ‘And as the bad (J)figs which cannot be eaten, they are so bad’—surely thus says the Lord—‘so will I give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, his princes, the (K)residue of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and (L)those who dwell in the land of Egypt. 9 I will deliver them to (M)trouble into all the kingdoms of the earth, for their harm, (N)to be a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them. 10 And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are [b]consumed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’ ”
