Jeremiah 35
1 Judah lengpa Josiah chapa Jehoiakim phat laiyin, Pakaiyin Jeremiah henga thu hitin aseiye.
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2 Rechab insung mite henga chenlang, amaho chu Pakai houin’a hungdiuvin gakouvin. Chujoule amaho chu indan sungnung pen khat a puilut inlang, chule adondiuvin lengpitwi hompeh in, ati.
Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Hijeh chun keijong Habazzaniah tupa, Jeremiah chapa Jaazaniah leh asopite chule achate jouse toh kimuto dingin kachetai.
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 Chuin keiman amaho chu houin sunga kahinpuiyin, Pathen mipa Igdalia chapa Horan themgaopa dinga kigonpeh indan sunga chun kapuiluttai. Hiche indan hi, houin vaibol ho umna indan komcha ahin, houin kotkhahbul ngahpa Shallum chapa Maaseiah indan chungtah a ahi.
And I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the rulers, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
5 Hichun keiman amaho dingin lengpitwi dimset hai-len khat leh adon nading khon ho kasemtup peh in, ajeh uva, “Lengpitwi hi don uvin’’ kati.
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink ye wine.
6 Ahinlah amahon, “Kanompouve, keihon lengpitwi donpou vinge. Ajeh chu kapu kapau Rechab chapa Jehonadab chun, thupeh eina neiyun, nangho nahiuvin chule nachilhahte ahiuvin, aitih’a lengpitwi nadonlou hel diu ahi.
But they said, We will drink no wine. For Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons, forever.
7 Chule nanghon chenna in jong nakisah loudiu, muchi natulou diu, lengpilei jong nabollou diu, amavang ponbuh a nachen jing diu ahi. Hiche thupeh hi najui diu, nahinkho lhum keiyuva nakhopem nau gamsung a nom’a nachendiu ahi, ati.
Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any, but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land in which ye sojourn.
8 Hiche jeh a chu, keihon ama thupeh hi imalam jousea kajui jingu ahi. Hitia chu keiho kahiuvin, kajiteu ahiuvin chule kachateu ahiuvin, lengpitwi hi kadonlou hel u ahibouve.
And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,
9 Vetan, keihon chenna in kakisah pouvin, lengpilei jong kaneipouvin chule muchi jong katupouve.
nor to build houses for us to dwell in. Neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed,
10 Keiho ponbuh a kacheng uvin, kapu kapau Jehonadab thupeh hohi kanitsoh keiyun ahi.
but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 Ahuvangin Babylon lengpa Nebuchadnezzar in gamsung douna ahinbol phat in, Babylon leh Syria sepaite kakichat jeh un, Jerusalem kahin jontauve, atiuvin ahi.
But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar 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 Syrians. So we dwell at Jerusalem.
12 Chuin Pakai thusei chu Jeremiah heng ahung lhung e.
Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
13 Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye; ‘Nanghon ibol a kahilna nadon dauva, chule kathusei ho ngaisah louva nakoiyu ham?’
Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? says Jehovah.
14 Veuvin, Rechab miten apu apu Jehonadab thupeh chu anit jing uvin, lengpitwi donlouhel in, tuni geiyin aum uve. Keiman nangho henga avel vel'a thu kasei vang'in, nanghon kathusei nangaipouve.
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 ye have not hearkened to me.
15 Keiman naheng uva kalhacha themgaoho avel vel in kahinsol in, Najah uva, nathilse bol’u dalhauvin hung kile kit unlang, apha chu bol uvin, tia kaseisah ahi. Chule Pathen dang chibai boh hih hel un, chutile keiman nangho le napu napteu kapehsa gamsunga lungmong tah’a nachendiu ahi, katin. Ahivangin nanghon kathusei nangai hih hel un, chule nit dingin jong nagelpouve.
I have also sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers. But ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.
16 Rechab chapa Jehonadab chapaten, apu pau thupeh chu phatah in ajuiyun; Nanghon vang keima thusei ngai nahsah in naneipouve.
Inasmuch as the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not hearkened to me,
17 Hijeh chun Hatchungnung Pakai Israsel Pathen in hitin aseiye. Nanghon kathupeh nangaidauva, kakouna najah tahlou jeh un, Judah leh Jerusalem chunga manthahna kalhunsah ding ahitai.
therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard, and I have called to them, but they have not answered.
18 Hichun Jeremiah in Rechab mite heng aseitai. Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye: Nanghon napu napau Jehonadab thupeh phatah in najuiyun, chule athusei ho nanitsoh keiyuvin ahi.
And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,
19 Hijeh a chu, Hatchungnung Pakai, Israel Pathen in hitin aseiye. “Rechab chapa Jehonadab in keima jending son le pah aneijing ding ahi,” ati.
therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.
