¹Jehovah shewed me, and behold, two baskets of figs, set before the temple of Jehovah, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive from Jerusalem, Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, the king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, and the craftsmen and smiths, and had brought them to Babylon.

¹ Rabbi n'ay cabe, a go mo, ay di cilla hinka go ga sinji Rabbi fu meyo jine, kaŋ yaŋ ga to da jeejay izeyaŋ. Waato kaŋ Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar na Yahuda bonkoono Yekoniya Yehoyacim izo di ka kond'a tamtaray, nga nda Yahuda ra mayraykooney kulu, da kambe goy-teerey, da Urusalima ra zamey, a kond'ey Babila, gaa no ay di woodin.

²One basket had very good figs, like the figs first ripe; and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten for badness.

² Cilla fa gonda jeejay ize hanno yaŋ kaŋ ga boori gumo, sanda jeejay ninyaŋ jina wane cine. Cilla fa mo gonda jeejay izeyaŋ kaŋ ga laala gumo, kaŋ yaŋ si ŋwa i fumbuyaŋo sabbay se.

³And Jehovah said unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs: the good figs very good; and the bad very bad, which cannot be eaten for badness.

³ Kala Rabbi ne ay se: «Irimiya, ifo no ni di?» Ay mo ne: «Jeejay izeyaŋ no. Wo kaŋ yaŋ ga boori, i ga boori gumo. Ilaaley mo ga laala hal i si ŋwa, zama i fumbu.»

⁴And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

⁴ Kala Rabbi sanno kaa ay do koyne ka ne:

⁵Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard for good them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans;

⁵ Yaa no Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci: Sanda jeejay izey din kaŋ ga boori, yaadin cine no ay ga Yahuda wongu kuyaŋo izey guna, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ay kaa nango wo ra ka kond'ey Kaldancey laabu.

⁶and I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land; and I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up.

⁶ Zama gomni no ay g'i guna nd'a, ay ma ye ka kand'ey laabo wo ra koyne. Ay g'i cina, ay si i bagu mo. Ay m'i tilam, ay si i dagu koyne.

⁷And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Jehovah; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

⁷ Ay m'i no bine kaŋ g'ay bay, kaŋ ay ya Rabbi no. I ga ciya ay se jama, ay mo ga ciya i se Irikoy, zama i ga bare ka ye ay do da bine folloŋ.

⁸And as the bad figs, which cannot be eaten for badness, surely, thus saith Jehovah: So will I make Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt.

⁸ Koyne, sanda jeejay ize laaley din mo, kaŋ yaŋ si ŋwa i fumbo sabbay se, daahir, Yahuda bonkoono Zedeciya, d'a mayraykoyey, da Urusalima jara kaŋ cindi laabo wo ra, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Misira laabo ra da goray, yaadin cine no ay g'i guna. Yaadin no Rabbi ci.

⁹And I will give them over to be driven hither and thither unto all the kingdoms of the earth for evil, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them;

⁹ Ay g'i nooyandi i ma ciya humburandiyaŋ hari ndunnya mayrayey kulu ra, i laala sabbay se. I ma ciya wowi hari, da yaasay hari, da donda-caray hari, da laaliyaŋ hari mo nangey kulu kaŋ ra ay g'i gaaray ka kond'ey.

¹⁰and I will send among them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.

¹⁰ Ay ga takuba nda haray da balaaw samba i gaa, kal i ma ban laabo kaŋ ay na ngey da ngey kaayey no din ra.
