Jeremiah 35
1 Judah siangpahrang Josiah capa Jehoiakim a bawi nah BAWIPA koehoi Jeremiah koe ka tho e lawk ni,
[Several years earlier, ] when Jehoiakim was the King of Judah, Yahweh gave me this message:
2 Rekhab imthung koe cet nateh pato, BAWIPA im dawk e imrakhan buet touh dawk kâenkhai nateh misur nei hane poe telah ati.
“Go to the place where families of the Rechab clan live. Invite them to my temple. [When they arrive, ] take them into one of the inside rooms and offer them [some] wine.”
3 Hadazziniah capa Jeremiah capa Jaazaniah hoi a hmaunawnghanaw hoi a capanaw pueng hoi Rekhab imthungnaw pueng ka ceikhai.
So I went to see Jaazaniah and all his brothers and sons who represented the Rechab clan. Jaazaniah was the son of [another man named] Jeremiah and grandson of Habazziniah.
4 Cathut e tami Igdaliah capa Hanan capanaw e imrakhan, BAWIPA e im dawk ka kâenkhai, hote imrakhan teh kahrawikungnaw e imrakhan teng longkha ka ring e Shallum capa Naser imrakhan thung kaawm e doeh.
I took them to the temple, [and we went] into the room where the sons of Igdaliah’s son Hanan, who was a prophet, stayed. That room was next to the room that was used by the men who were in charge of the entrances to the temple. It was above the room that belonged to Maaseiah, who was the temple gatekeeper and the son of Shallum.
5 Hahoi Rekhab catoun naw thung hoi tongpanaw hmalah hlaam hoi manang dawk kakawilah misurtui ka phung teh ahnimouh koe, misurtui heh net awh, telah ka ti pouh.
I set jugs of wine in front of them and urged them to drink some,
6 Hatei ahnimouh misurtui teh ka net awh mahoeh, na kaukkung Rekhab capa Jonadab ni, nama hoi na catounnaw ni hai nâtuek hai misurtui na net awh mahoeh.
but they refused. They said, “We do not drink wine, because our ancestor Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, commanded us, saying ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine.
7 Im sak hanh awh, cati hai tu hanh awh, misur takha hai sak hanh awh, hote hnonaw tawn hanh na onae ram dawk kasawlah na hring thai awh na han, na hring awh na thung lukkarei dawk kho na sak awh han, telah kâ na poe.
And you must not build houses or plant vineyards or [other] crops. Instead, you must always live in tents. If you obey those commands, you all will live for many years in this land.’
8 Hottelah, na kaukkung Rekhab capa Jonadab ni a pahni dawk hoi lawk a dei e ka hring awh na thung, kamamouh hoi ka yunaw hoi ka capa hoi ka canunaw ni misurtui nei hoeh hane hoi,
[So] we have obeyed him in all those matters. We have never drunk wine. Our wives and our sons and our daughters [have also never drunk wine].
9 kho ka sak awh nahane im sak hoeh hane hoi misur takha thoseh, cati thoseh tawn hoeh hanelah ka tarawi awh e doeh.
We have not built houses or planted vineyards or [other] crops or [worked in] fields.
10 Lukkarei dawk kho ka sak awh teh, na kaukkung Jonadab e kâpoe lawknaw pueng ka tarawi teh ka hringkhai awh.
We have lived in tents. We have obeyed all the commands that Jehonadab, our ancestor, gave us.
11 Hahoi, Babilon Siangpahrang Nebukhadnezar ni ram a tuk navah kaimouh ni tho awh, Khaldean ransahu hoi Siria ransahu taki awh dawkvah Jerusalem lah cet awh sei telah ka ti awh teh, atu Jerusalem vah ka o awh telah ati awh.
But when [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar attacked this country, we said, ‘We must go to Jerusalem to escape from the armies of Babylonia and Syria.’ So, [we came] to Jerusalem and we are living [here].”
12 Hahoi BAWIPA e lawk Jeremiah koe a pha.
Then Yahweh gave this message to me: “This is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people say that they belong to], say:
13 Isarel Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni telah a dei Judah ram e taminaw hoi Jerusalem kho ka sak taminaw koe dei pouh, ka lawk ngai hanelah cangkhainae hah na dâw awh mahoeh maw telah BAWIPA ni a dei.
'Go and tell this to the people in Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah: “Why do you not [RHQ] listen to me or learn something about how to obey me?
14 Rekhab capa Jonadab ni a capanaw koe kâ a la poe e, misurtui nei hoeh hanelah a tarawi awh teh, sahnin totouh net awh hoeh, kakhekung e kâpoelawk a tarawi awh katang, kai ni teh amom ka thaw teh nangmouh koe lawk ka dei ei, na thai ngai awh hoeh.
The Rechab clan still do not drink wine, because their ancestor Jehonadab told them to not do that. [In contrast], I have spoken to you many times, but you refuse to obey me.
15 Ka thaw ka tawk e profetnaw amom a thaw awh teh, nangmouh koe ka patoun, tamipueng na hringnuen yonnae dawk hoi bout ban awh leih, ouk na sak awh e hnonaw hah pathoup awh leih, Cathut alouke thaw tawk hanlah tarawi awh hanh leih, hat pawiteh namamouh hoi na kakhekungnaw koe ka poe e ram dawk kho na sak awh telah ka ti. Hatei hnâ na tabuem awh teh na thai ngai awh hoeh.
Many times I sent prophets to you. They told you, 'Turn away from your wicked behavior, and do things that you should do. Stop worshiping other gods, in order that you will be able to live [peacefully] in this land that I gave to you and your ancestors.' But you would not pay attention to what I said or obey me.
16 Rekhab capa Jonadab catounnaw ni teh kakhekung e kâpoelawk a tarawi awh, hete taminaw ni teh ka lawk thai ngai awh hoeh.
The descendants of Jehonadab have obeyed their ancestor, but you have refused to pay attention to what I told you.
17 Hatdawkvah, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut, ransahu Cathut ni hettelah a dei, khenhaw Judah hoi Jerusalem kho ka sak e taminaw pueng koe hawihoehnae ahnimae lathueng phasak hanelah ka dei e hah kakuep sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh koe lawk ka dei e thai ngai awh hoeh. Ahnimouh ka kaw awh eiteh na pato ngai awh hoeh teh lah ati.
Therefore, this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say: 'You have refused to listen to me and you did not answer when I called you. Therefore, I will cause the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to experience all the disasters that I said that I would cause to happen.'” '”
18 Hahoi Jeremiah ni Rekhab catounnaw koevah, ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni hettelah a dei, na kakhekung Jonadab e kâpoelawk na tarawi awh teh, a dei e naw pueng na tarawi awh teh kâpoe e patetlah na sak awh dawkvah.
Then I turned to the Rechab clan and said, “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [say we belong to], says: ‘You have obeyed what your ancestor Jehonadab told you. You have obeyed all his instructions.
19 Rekhab capa Jonadab ni a yungyoe hoi ka hmalah kangdout hane tami vout mahoeh, telah ransahu BAWIPA, Isarel Cathut ni a dei.
Therefore, this is what I say: “There will always be descendants of Jehonadab who will do work for me.”’”
