耶利米書 24
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
兩筐無花果
24 巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒將約雅敬的兒子猶大王耶哥尼雅[a]和猶大的領袖,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,看哪,有兩筐無花果放在耶和華殿前。 2 一筐是極好的無花果,像是初熟的;一筐是極壞的無花果,壞得不能吃。 3 耶和華對我說:「耶利米,你看見甚麼?」我說:「我看見無花果,好的極好,壞的極壞,壞得不能吃。」
4 於是耶和華的話臨到我,說: 5 「耶和華—以色列的 神如此說:『被擄去的猶大人,就是我所打發離開這地到迦勒底人之地去的,我必看顧他們如這好的無花果,使他們得福樂。 6 我要眷顧他們,使他們得福樂,領他們歸回這地。我也要建立他們,必不拆毀;栽植他們,必不拔出。 7 我要賜給他們認識我的心,認識我是耶和華。他們要作我的子民,我要作他們的 神,他們要一心歸向我。』」
8 耶和華如此說:「我必將猶大王西底家和他的眾領袖,以及留在這地耶路撒冷剩餘的人,並住在埃及地的猶大人都交出來,好像那極壞、壞得不能吃的無花果。 9 我必使他們在地上萬國中成為恐懼,成為災禍,在我趕逐他們到的各處成為凌辱、笑柄、譏笑、詛咒的對象。 10 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祖先之地滅絕。」

Two Baskets of Figs
24 After Jehoiachin[a](A) son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and the officials, the skilled workers and the artisans of Judah were carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Lord showed me two baskets of figs(B) placed in front of the temple of the Lord. 2 One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early;(C) the other basket had very bad(D) figs, so bad they could not be eaten.
3 Then the Lord asked me, “What do you see,(E) Jeremiah?”
“Figs,” I answered. “The good ones are very good, but the bad ones are so bad they cannot be eaten.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 5 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent(F) away from this place to the land of the Babylonians.[b] 6 My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back(G) to this land. I will build(H) them up and not tear them down; I will plant(I) them and not uproot them. 7 I will give them a heart to know(J) me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people,(K) and I will be their God, for they will return(L) to me with all their heart.(M)
8 “‘But like the bad(N) figs, which are so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the Lord, ‘so will I deal with Zedekiah(O) king of Judah, his officials(P) and the survivors(Q) from Jerusalem, whether they remain in this land or live in Egypt.(R) 9 I will make them abhorrent(S) and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a reproach and a byword,(T) a curse[c](U) and an object of ridicule, wherever I banish(V) them. 10 I will send the sword,(W) famine(X) and plague(Y) against them until they are destroyed from the land I gave to them and their ancestors.(Z)’”

The Good Figs and the Bad Figs
24 (A)After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken into exile from Jerusalem (B)Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, together with (C)the officials of Judah, the craftsmen, and the metal workers, and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me this vision: behold, (D)two baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord. 2 One basket had very good figs, (E)like first-ripe figs, but the other basket had (F)very bad figs, so bad that they could not be eaten. 3 And the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said, “Figs, the good figs very good, and the bad figs very bad, so bad that they cannot be eaten.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 5 “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah, (G)whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans. 6 (H)I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. (I)I will build them up, and not tear them down; (J)I will plant them, and not pluck them up. 7 (K)I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord, (L)and they shall be my people (M)and I will be their God, (N)for they shall return to me with their whole heart.
8 “But thus says the Lord: Like (O)the bad figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten, so will I treat (P)Zedekiah the king of Judah, his officials, the remnant of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who (Q)dwell in the land of Egypt. 9 I will make them (R)a horror[a] to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be (S)a reproach, (T)a byword, (U)a taunt, and (V)a curse in all the places where I shall drive them. 10 And I will send (W)sword, famine, and pestilence upon them, until they shall be utterly destroyed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.”
