Jeremija 35
1 Jahve uputi riječ Jeremiji u dane Jojakima, sina Jošijina, kralja judejskoga:
THE word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2 “Idi u zajednicu Rekabovaca, govori s njima i dovedi ih u Dom Jahvin, u jednu od dvorana, i daj im vina.”
Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Tada dovedoh Jaazaniju, sina Habasinijina sina Jeremije, njegovu braću i sve sinove njegove i sav dom Rekabovaca
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
4 i dovedoh ih u Dom Jahvin, u dvoranu čovjeka Božjega Ben Johanana, sina Jigdalijina, koja je kraj dvorane kneževske, a nad dvoranom vratara Maaseje, sina Šalumova.
And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
5 Zatim stavih pred sinove doma Rekabova krčage pune vina i čaše te im rekoh: “Pijte vina!”
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
6 Ali oni odgovoriše: “Ne pijemo vina, jer nam je otac naš Jonadab, sin Rekabov, zapovjedio: 'Ne smijete nikada piti vina, ni vi ni sinovi vaši.
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 for ever:
7 Niti smijete graditi kućÄa, niti sijati sjemena ni saditi vinogradÄa, niti ih posjedovati, nego provodite sav život pod šatorima, da dugo živite u zemlji gdje kao stranci boravite.'
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 where ye be strangers.
8 I mi poslušasmo glas oca Jonadaba, sina Rekabova, u svem što nam je zapovjedio: da nikad vina ne pijemo, ni mi ni žene naše, niti sinovi naši, ni kćeri naše,
Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
9 da ne gradimo kuća, ni da posjedujemo vinograda ni polja zasijanih,
Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
10 da stanujemo pod šatorima i držimo se poslušno svega što nam zapovjedi naš otac Jonadab.
But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 Samo kada je Nabukodonozor, kralj babilonski, krenuo protiv ove zemlje, rekosmo: 'Hajdemo, pođimo u Jeruzalem da izbjegnemo vojsku kaldejsku i vojsku aramejsku!' I tako sada živimo u Jeruzalemu.”
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 Tada dođe riječ Jahvina Jeremiji:
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,
13 Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, kralj Izraelov: “Idi i objavi Judejcima i Jeruzalemcima: 'Zar nećete primiti nauka moga i poslušati riječi moje?' - riječ je Jahvina. -
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.
14 'Ispunjuju se riječi Jonadaba, sina Rekabova, koji je sinovima svojim zabranio da piju vina, i do dana današnjega nitko ga nije pio, jer oni slušaju riječ svoga oca. A ja sam vam jednako govorio, ali me niste slušali.
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
15 I slao sam bez prestanka k vama sluge svoje, proroke, da vam propovijedaju: 'Vratite se svaki sa svoga opakog puta, popravite djela svoja i ne trčite za tuđim bogovima da im služite, pa ćete ostati u zemlji koju dadoh vama i ocima vašim'; ali ne prikloniste uha svojega i ne poslušaste me.
I have sent also unto 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 unto me.
16 Sinovi Jonadaba, sina Rekabova, držahu se zapovijedi koju im dade otac njihov. Ali mene ovaj narod ne sluša.'
Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:
17 Zato govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Evo, navući ću na sve Jeruzalemce sve one nevolje kojima sam im zaprijetio, jer sam im govorio, a oni me ne slušahu, dozivao ih, ali se oni ne odazivahu.'”
Therefore thus saith the Lord 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 unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
18 Zajednici Rekabovaca Jeremija reče: “Ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, Bog Izraelov: 'Jer ste slušali zapovijedi svoga oca Jonadaba i držali se svih naredaba i činili sve što vam je on zapovjedio,
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
19 zato - ovako govori Jahve nad Vojskama, kralj Izraelov - Jonadabu, sinu Rekabovu, nikad neće ponestati potomka koji će stajati pred licem mojim u sve dane.'”
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
