Jeremiah 35
1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim tue vaengah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol he Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2 “Rekhah imkhui la cet lamtah amih te thui pah. Amih BOEIPA im kah imkhui pakhat la khuen lamtah amih te misurtui tul lah,” a ti.
"Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink."
3 Te dongah Habazziniah koca Jeremiah capa Jaazaniah neh amah boeinaphung, amah koca boeih neh Rekhah imkhui boeih te ka khuen.
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.
4 Amih te BOEIPA im ah tah Pathen kah hlang Igdaliah koca Hanan ca rhoek kah imkhui la ka khuen. A taengah cingkhaa aka tawt Shallum capa Maaseiah imkhan soah mangpa rhoek kah imkhan om.
And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the room of the sons of Hananiah son of Gedaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the officials, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
5 Te vaengah Rekhah imkhui koca mikhmuh ah misurtui te bunang dongah a bae la boengloeng neh ka tawn pah tih amih te, “Misurtui O uh,” ka ti nah.
I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, "Drink wine."
6 Tedae, “Misurtui ka ok uh moenih. A pa Rekhab capa Jonadab loh kaimih ng'uen coeng. Namah neh na ca rhoek khaw kumhal due misurtui na o loengloeng mahpawh.
But they said, "We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, 'You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your sons, forever:
7 Im khaw sa boeh, cangti khaw tuh boeh, misurdum khaw tue boeh, na taengah om sak boeh. Namah khohnin boeih te dap khuiah khosa uh. Te daengah ni diklai mikhmuh kah na bakuep uh rhuet vaengah khohnin muep na hing uh eh,’ a ti.
neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land in which you live.'
8 Kaimih ng'uen boeih te tah a pa Rekhab capa Jehonadab ol ni ka hnatun uh. Te dongah kamah tue khuiah tah kamamih khaw, ka yuu rhoek, ka capa rhoek, ka canu rhoek khaw misurtui a ok moenih.
We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
9 Kaimih om nah ham im ka sa uh pawt tih kai taengah misurdum neh khohmuen khaw cangtii khaw om pawh.
nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
10 Tedae dap ah ka om uh tih a pa Jonadab kah ng'uen te boeih ka hnatun uh tih ka saii uh.
but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 Te om vaengah he khohmuen ah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar ha pongpa vaengah, “Ha mop uh lamtah Khalden tatthai mikhmuh neh Aram tatthai mikhmuh ah Jerusalem la cet uh sih,” a ti uh dongah ni Jerusalem ah kho ka sak uh,” a ti uh.
But it happened, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, 'Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Arameans'; so we dwell at Jerusalem."
12 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih,
Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
13 Israel Pathen Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Cet lamtah Judah hlang taeng neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek taengah thui pah. Ka ol he hnatun ham thuituennah te na doe mahpawt nim? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Go, and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, "Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?" says the LORD.
14 Rekhab capa Jehonadab loh amah koca rhoek taengah misurtui ok pawt ham a uen ol te ana thoh puei. A napa kah olpaek te a hnatun uh dongah ni tahae khohnin duela a ok uh pawh. Tedae kai loh nangmih taengah na thoh neh a thui khaw kan thui dae kai taengkah he na hnatun uh moenih.
"The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father's commandment: but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; and you have not listened to me.
15 Ka sal boeih te nangmih taengah ni ka tueih. Tonghma rhoek te a thoh neh kan tueih tih, ‘Hlang he a boethae longpuei lamloh mael laeh saeh. Na khoboe te hlawt uh. Amih thothueng la pathen tloe hnukah pongpa uh boeh. Nangmih taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah kam paek khohmuen ah te khosa uh,’ a ti. Tedae na hna te na kaeng uh pawt tih kai taengkah he na hnatun uh moenih.
I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Return now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers': but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
16 Rekhab capa Jehonadab koca rhoek tah amih a uen bangla a napa kah olpaek te a thoh puei uh. Tedae he pilnam loh kai taengkah he a hnatun uh moenih.
Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to me;
17 Israel Pathen caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui tangloeng van. Judah so neh Jerusalem khosa boeih soah boethae cungkuem ka thui te amamih taengah ka thoeng sak he. Amih ham ka thui dae a hnatun uh pawt dongah amih ka khue vaengah khaw n'doo uh pawh.
therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Look, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, but they have not listened; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.'"'"
18 Te dongah Rekhah imkhui te Jeremiah loh, “Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na pa Jehonadab kah olpaek te na hnatun uh tih a olpaek boeih te na ngaithuen uh dongah nangmih n'uen bangla boeih na saii uh.
Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you';
19 Te dongah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA a thui tangloeng coeng he. Rekhab koca Jonadab kah a hlang tah amah tue khuiah tah ka mikhmuh ah pongtho vetih pat mahpawh.
therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.'"
