Geremia 24

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ostendit mihi Dominus, et ecce duo calathi pleni ficis positi antetemplum Domini, postquam transtulit Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis Iechoniamfilium Ioachim regem Iudae et principes eius et fabrum et inclusorem deIerusalem et adduxit eos in Babylonem.	1 The Lord shewed me: and behold two baskets full of figs, set before the temple of the Lord: after that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda, and his chief men, and the craftsmen, and engravers of Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
2 Calathus unus ficus bonas habebatnimis, ut solent ficus esse primi temporis; et calathus unus ficus habebat malasnimis, quae comedi non poterant, eo quod essent malae.	2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs of the first season: and the other basket had very bad figs, which could not be eaten, because they were bad.
3 Et dixit Dominus ad me: “ Quid tu vides, Ieremia? ”. Et dixi: “ Ficus,ficus bonas, bonas valde, et malas, malas valde, quae comedi non possunt, eoquod sint malae ”.	3 And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: Figs, the good figs, very good: and the bad figs, very bad, which cannot be eaten because they are bad.
4 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens:	4 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
5 “ Haecdicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Sicut ficus hae bonae, sic cognoscamtransmigrationem Iudae, quam emisi de loco isto in terram Chaldaeorum, in bonum.	5 Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so will I regard the captives of Juda, whom I have sent forth out of this place into the land oif the Chaldeans, for their own good.
6 Et ponam oculos meos super eos ad placandum et reducam eos in terram hanc etaedificabo eos et non destruam et plantabo eos et non evellam.	6 And I will set my eyes upon them to be pacified, and I will bring them again into this land: and I will be their God: and I will build them up, and not pull them down: and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
7 Et dabo eiscor, ut sciant me quia ego sum Dominus; et erunt mihi in populum, et ego ero eisin Deum, quia revertentur ad me in toto corde suo.	7 And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: because they shall return to me with their whole heart.
8 Et sicut ficus pessimae, quae comedi non possunt, eo quod sint malae, haecdicit Dominus, sic dabo Sedeciam regem Iudae et principes eius et reliquos deIerusalem, qui remanserunt in terra hac et qui habitant in terra Aegypti.	8 And as the very bad figs, that cannot be eaten, because they are bad: thus saith the Lord: So will I give Sedecias the king of Juda, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that have remained in this city, and that dwell in the land of Egypt.
9 Etdabo eos in vexationem afflictionemque omnibus regnis terrae, in opprobrium etin proverbium et in derisum et in maledictionem in universis locis, ad quaeeieci eos.	9 And I will deliver them up to vexation, and affliction, to all the kingdoms of the earth: to be a reproach, and a byword, and a proverb, and to be a curse in all places, to which I have cast them out.
10 Et mittam in eis gladium et famem et pestem, donec consumantur deterra, quam dedi eis et patribus eorum ”.	10 And I will send among them the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: till they be consumed out of the land which I gave to them, and their fathers.
