Jeremiah 35

1 Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim siangpahrang ah oh naah, Jeremiah khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh,

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

2 Rekab acaeng imthung takoh khaeah caeh ah loe, nihcae to Angraeng im athung maeto ah angzoh o hanah pacae ah, nihcae mah naek o hanah misurtui to paek ah, tiah ang naa.

Go into the house of the Rechabites, and have talk with them, and take them into the house of the Lord, into one of the rooms, and give them wine.

3 To pongah Habaziniah capa Jeremiah, Jeremiah capa Jaazaniah, anih ih nawkamyanawk, a capanawk boih hoi Rekab ih imthung takoh kaminawk to ka kawk boih moe,

Then I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons and all the Rechabites;

4 Angraeng ih im athung, Sithaw kami Igdaliah capa, Hanan capanawk ih imkhaan thungah ka caeh haih; to imkhaan loe thok toep kami, Shallum capa Maaseiah imkhaan ranui ah kaom, toksah kami angraengnawk ohhaih imkhaan taeng ah oh;

And I took them into the house of the Lord, into the room of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the rulers' room, which was over the room of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door;

5 Rekab acaeng capanawk imthung takoh kaminawk hmaa ah, misurtui hoi kakoi laom hoi boengloengnawk to ka patoem pae moe, misurtui hae nae oh, tiah ka naa.

And I put before the sons of the Rechabites basins full of wine and cups, and I said to them, Take some wine.

6 Toe nihcae mah, kaicae loe misurtui ka nae o ai; Rekab capa kaicae ampa Jonadab mah, Nangmacae hoi na caanawk khoek to misurtui roe nae o hmah, tiah lok ang thuih;

But they said, We will take no wine: for Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, gave us orders, saying, You are to take no wine, you or your sons, for ever:

7 im doeh na sah o mak ai ueloe, aanmu doeh na patii o mak ai, misur takha doeh na sah o mak ai, tidoeh na tawn o mak ai; angvin ah na oh o haih prae ah atue kasawk ah na oh o hanah, na hing thung kahni im thungah ni na om o tih, tiah ang naa.

And you are to make no houses, or put in seed, or get vine-gardens planted, or have any: but all your days you are to go on living in tents, so that you may have a long life in the land where you are living as in a strange country.

8 To pongah kaicae hoi ka zunawk, ka capanawk, ka canunawk boih loe kaimacae ampa Rekab ih capa Jonadab mah thuih ih lok to ka tahngai o;

And we have kept the rules of Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, in everything which he gave us orders to do, drinking no wine all our days, we and our wives and our sons and our daughters;

9 ohhaih im doeh ka sah o mak ai, misur takha doeh ka sah o mak ai; lawk doeh ka sah o mak ai ueloe, aanmu doeh ka patii o mak ai;

Building no houses for ourselves, having no vine-gardens or fields or seed:

10 kahni im ah ka oh o, kaicae ampa Jonadab mah thuih ih lok ka tahngai o moe, ka pazui o boeh:

But we have been living in tents, and have done everything which Jonadab our father gave us orders to do.

11 toe Babylon siangpahrang Nebuchadnezzar hae prae ah angzoh naah loe, Khaldian misatuh kaminawk hoi Syria misatuh kaminawk loe zit thoh pongah, Angzo oh, Jerusalem ah caeh o si, tiah ka thuih o moe, Jerusalem ah ka oh o, tiah pathim pae o.

But when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem, away from the army of the Chaldaeans and from the army of the Aramaeans: and so we are living in Jerusalem.

12 To naah Angraeng ih lok to Jeremiah khaeah angzoh;

Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

13 misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Caeh ah loe, Judah hoi Jerusalem ih kaminawk khaeah, Ka lok na tahngai o hanah, thuitaekhaih na talawk o mak ai maw? tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh.

This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Go and say to the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, Is there no hope of teaching you to give ear to my words? says the Lord.

14 Rekab capa Jonadab mah a caanawk khaeah misurtui naek han ai ah lok thuih pae, vaihi khoek to nihcae mah anih ih lok to tahngaih pae o; ampa mah thuih ih lok tahngaih o pongah, vaihni ni khoek to misurtui nae o ai; khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, lok kang thuih o, toe ka lok na tahngai o ai.

The orders which Jonadab, the son of Rechab, gave to his sons to take no wine, are done, and to this day they take no wine, for they do the orders of their father: but I have sent my words to you, getting up early and sending them, and you have not given ear to me.

15 Khawnthaw ah kang thawk moe, ka tamna tahmaanawk to kang patoeh, nihcae mah, Na caeh o haih kahoih ai loklamnawk hoiah amlaem oh, na sak o ih hmuennawk to pakhraih oh, a tok sak pae hanah kalah sithawnawk hnukah bang o hmah, to tiah nahaeloe nam panawk khaeah ka paek ih prae thungah kho na sah o tih, tiah ang naa o; toe naa na patueng o ai moe, lok doeh na tahngai o ai.

And I have sent you all my servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them, saying, Come back, now, every man from his evil way, and do better, and go not after other gods to become their servants, and you will go on living in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but your ears have not been open, and you have not given attention to me.

16 Rekab capa Jonadab ih caanawk loe ampa mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah a sak o, toe hae ih kaminawk loe ka lok to tahngai o ai, tiah thuih.

Though the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have done the orders of their father which he gave them, this people has not given ear to me:

17 To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Khenah, Judah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah ka thuih ih kasae amrohaih to ka phaksak han; nihcae khaeah lok ka thuih pae boeh, toe tahngai o ai; nihcae to ka kawk, toe na pathim o ai, tiah a naa.

For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem all the evil which I said I would do to them: because I sent my words to them, but they did not give ear; crying out to them, but they gave no answer.

18 To pacoengah Jeremiah mah Recab imthung takoh khaeah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Nangcae loe nam pa Jonadab mah thuih ih lok to na tahngaih o, ang thuitaekhaih loknawk to na pakuem o boih moe, a thuih ih loknawk to na pazui o boih, tiah a naa.

But to the Rechabites Jeremiah said, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have done the orders of Jonadab your father, and have kept his rules, and done everything as he gave you orders to do it;

19 To pongah misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng, Israel Sithaw mah, Rekab capa Jonadab ih acaeng loe boeng ai ah ka hmaa ah toksak han angdoe o tih, tiah a thuih.

For this reason the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Jonadab, the son of Rechab, will never be without a man to take his place before me.
