< Jeremiah 35 >

1 Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim tue vaengah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol he Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the days of Jehoiakim 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 unto the house of the Rechabites, and thou hast spoken with them, and brought them into the house of Jehovah, unto one of the chambers, and caused them to drink wine.'
3 Te dongah Habazziniah koca Jeremiah capa Jaazaniah neh amah boeinaphung, amah koca boeih neh Rekhah imkhui boeih te ka khuen.
And I take Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and all the 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 bring them into the house of Jehovah, unto the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, that [is] near to the chamber of the princes, that [is] above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum, 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.
and I put before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups, and I say unto them, Drink ye wine.
6 Tedae, “Misurtui ka ok uh moenih. A pa Rekhab capa Jonadab oh kaimih ng'uen coeng. Namah neh na ca rhoek khaw kumhal due misurtui na o loengloeng mahpawh.
And they say, 'We do not drink wine: for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, charged us, saying, Ye do not drink wine, ye and your sons — unto the age;
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.
and a house ye do not build, and seed ye do not sow, and a vineyard ye do not plant, nor have ye any; for in tents do ye dwell all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the ground whither ye are sojourning.
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.
'And we hearken to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, to all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and 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 our dwelling; and vineyard, and field, and seed, we have none;
10 Tedae dap ah ka om uh tih a pa Jonadab kah ng'uen te boeih ka hnatun uh tih ka saii uh.
and we dwell in tents, and we hearken, and we do 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 latmah 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.
and it cometh to pass, in the coming up of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon unto the land, that we say, Come, and we enter Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans, and because of the force of Aram — and we dwell in Jerusalem.'
12 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel:
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.
'Go, and thou hast said to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Do ye not receive instruction? — to hearken unto My words — an affirmation of Jehovah.
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.
Performed have been the words of Jonadab son of Rechab, when he commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not drunk unto this day, for they have obeyed the command of their father; and I — I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened unto 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.
And I send unto you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying: Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and amend your doings, yea, ye do not walk after other gods, to serve them, and dwell ye on the ground that I have given to you and to your fathers; and ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto 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 son of Rechab have performed the command of their father, that he commanded them, and this people have not hearkened unto 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 said Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto Judah, and unto all inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken unto them, and they have not hearkened, yea, I call to them, and 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.
And to the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Because that ye have hearkened unto the command of Jonadab your father, and ye observe all his commands, and do 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 said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Of Jonadab son of Rechab one standing before me is not cut off all the days.'
