إِرْمِيَا 35

١ 1 ٱلْكَلِمَةُ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ فِي أَيَّامِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا قَائِلَةً:

The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, in the dayes of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, saying,

٢ 2 «اِذْهَبْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّكَابِيِّينَ وَكَلِّمْهُمْ، وَٱدْخُلْ بِهِمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى أَحَدِ ٱلْمَخَادِعِ وَٱسْقِهِمْ خَمْرًا».

Go vnto the house of the Rechabites, and speake vnto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord into one of the chambers, and giue them wine to drinke.

٣ 3 فَأَخَذْتُ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ إِرْمِيَا بْنِ حَبْصِينِيَا وَإِخْوَتَهُ وَكُلَّ بَنِيهِ وَكُلَّ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّكَابِيِّينَ،

Then tooke I Iaazaniah, the sonne of Ieremiah the sonne of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sonnes, and the whole house of the Rechabites,

٤ 4 وَدَخَلْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى مِخْدَعِ بَنِي حَانَانَ بْنِ يَجَدْلِيَا رَجُلِ ٱللهِ، ٱلَّذِي بِجَانِبِ مِخْدَعِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ، ٱلَّذِي فَوْقَ مِخْدَعِ مَعْسِيَّا بْنِ شَلُّومَ حَارِسِ ٱلْبَابِ.

And I brought them into the House of the Lord, into the chamber of the sonnes of Hanan, the sonne of Igdaliah a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was aboue the chamber of Maaseiah the sonne of Shallum, the keeper of the treasure.

٥ 5 وَجَعَلْتُ أَمَامَ بَنِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّكَابِيِّينَ طَاسَاتٍ مَلآنَةً خَمْرًا وَأَقْدَاحًا، وَقُلْتُ لَهُمُ: «ٱشْرَبُوا خَمْرًا».

And I set before the sonnes of the house of the Rechabites, pots full of wine, and cuppes, and said vnto them, Drinke wine.

٦ 6 فَقَالُوا: «لَا نَشْرَبُ خَمْرًا، لِأَنَّ يُونَادَابَ بْنَ رَكَابَ أَبَانَا أَوْصَانَا قَائِلًا: لَا تَشْرَبُوا خَمْرًا أَنْتُمْ وَلَا بَنُوكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

But they said, We will drinke no wine: for Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our father commanded vs, saying, Ye shall drinke no wine, neither you nor your sonnes for euer.

٧ 7 وَلَا تَبْنُوا بَيْتًا، وَلَا تَزْرَعُوا زَرْعًا، وَلَا تَغْرِسُوا كَرْمًا، وَلَا تَكُنْ لَكُمْ، بَلِ ٱسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلْخِيَامِ كُلَّ أَيَّامِكُمْ، لِكَيْ تَحْيَوْا أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتُمْ مُتَغَرِّبُونَ فِيهَا.

Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seede, nor plant vineyarde, nor haue any, but all your dayes ye shall dwell in tentes, that ye may liue a long time in the land where ye be strangers.

٨ 8 فَسَمِعْنَا لِصَوْتِ يُونَادَابَ بْنِ رَكَابَ أَبِينَا فِي كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَانَا بِهِ، أَنْ لَا نَشْرَبَ خَمْرًا كُلَّ أَيَّامِنَا، نَحْنُ وَنِسَاؤُنَا وَبَنُونَا وَبَنَاتُنَا،

Thus haue wee obeyed the voyce of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our father, in all that he hath charged vs, and wee drinke no wine all our dayes, neither wee, our wiues, our sonnes, nor our daughters.

٩ 9 وَأَنْ لَا نَبْنِيَ بُيُوتًا لِسُكْنَانَا، وَأَنْ لَا يَكُونَ لَنَا كَرْمٌ وَلَا حَقْلٌ وَلَا زَرْعٌ.

Neither builde wee houses for vs to dwell in, neither haue we vineyard, nor fielde, nor seede,

١٠ 10 فَسَكَنَّا فِي ٱلْخِيَامِ، وَسَمِعْنَا وَعَمِلْنَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَانَا بِهِ يُونَادَابُ أَبُونَا.

But we haue remained in tentes, and haue obeyed, and done according to all that Ionadab our father commanded vs.

١١ 11 وَلَكِنْ كَانَ لَمَّا صَعِدَ نَبُوخَذْرَاصَّرُ مَلِكُ بَابِلَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، أَنَّنَا قُلْنَا: هَلُمَّ فَنَدْخُلُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مِنْ وَجْهِ جَيْشِ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَمِنْ وَجْهِ جَيْشِ ٱلْأَرَامِيِّينَ. فَسَكَنَّا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ».

But when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came vp into the land, we said, Come, and let vs go to Ierusalem, from the hoste of the Caldeans, and from the host of Aram: so we dwel at Ierusalem.

١٢ 12 ثُمَّ صَارَتْ كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا قَائِلَةً:

Then came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah, saying,

١٣ 13 «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: ٱذْهَبْ وَقُلْ لِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَسُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: أَمَا تَقْبَلُونَ تَأْدِيبًا لِتَسْمَعُوا كَلَامِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ؟

Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Goe, and tell the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, Will ye not receiue doctrine to obey my wordes, saith the Lord?

١٤ 14 قَدْ أُقِيمَ كَلَامُ يُونَادَابَ بْنِ رَكَابَ ٱلَّذِي أَوْصَى بِهِ بَنِيهِ أَنْ لَا يَشْرَبُوا خَمْرًا، فَلَمْ يَشْرَبُوا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ لِأَنَّهُمْ سَمِعُوا وَصِيَّةَ أَبِيهِمْ. وَأَنَا قَدْ كَلَّمْتُكُمْ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُكَلِّمًا وَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي.

The commandement of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab that hee commanded his sonnes, that they should drinke no wine, is surely kept: for vnto this day they drinke none, but obey their fathers commandement: notwithstanding I haue spoken vnto you, rising earely, and speaking, but ye would not obey me.

١٥ 15 وَقَدْ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ كُلَّ عَبِيدِي ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ مُبَكِّرًا وَمُرْسِلًا قَائِلًا: ٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ ٱلرَّدِيئَةِ، وَأَصْلِحُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْ، وَلَا تَذْهَبُوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِتَعْبُدُوهَا، فَتَسْكُنُوا فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ وَآبَاءَكُمْ. فَلَمْ تُمِيلُوا أُذُنَكُمْ، وَلَا سَمِعْتُمْ لِي.

I haue sent also vnto you all my seruants the Prophetes, rising vp earely, and sending, them, saying, Returne nowe euery man from his euill way, and amende your workes, and goe not after other gods to serue them, and ye shall dwel in the lande which I haue giuen vnto you, and to your fathers, but ye would not encline your eare, nor obey mee.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّ بَنِي يُونَادَابَ بْنِ رَكَابَ قَدْ أَقَامُوا وَصِيَّةَ أَبِيهِمِ ٱلَّتِي أَوْصَاهُمْ بِهَا. أَمَّا هَذَا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي.

Surely the sonnes of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab, haue kept the commandement of their father, which he gaue them, but this people hath not obeyed me.

١٧ 17 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ، إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: هَأَنَذَا أَجْلِبُ عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ كُلَّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ، لِأَنِّي كَلَّمْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، وَدَعَوْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا».

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon Iudah, and vpon all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, all the euill that I haue pronounced against them, because I haue spoke vnto them, but they would not heare, and I haue called vnto them, but they would not answere.

١٨ 18 وَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِبَيْتِ ٱلرَّكَابِيِّينَ: «هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّكُمْ سَمِعْتُمْ لِوَصِيَّةِ يُونَادَابَ أَبِيكُمْ، وَحَفِظْتُمْ كُلَّ وَصَايَاهُ وَعَمِلْتُمْ حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا أَوْصَاكُمْ بِهِ،

And Ieremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Because ye haue obeyed the commandement of Ionadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according vnto all that hee hath commanded you,

١٩ 19 لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْجُنُودِ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَا يَنْقَطِعُ لِيُونَادَابَ بْنِ رَكَابَ إِنْسَانٌ يَقِفُ أَمَامِي كُلَّ ٱلْأَيَّامِ».

Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Ionadab the sonne of Rechab shall not want a man, to stand before me for euer.
