Jeremias 35
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren, i Judas Konge, Jojakims, Josias's Søns, Dage, saa lydende:
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
2 Gak til Rekabiternes Hus og tal med dem, og før dem til Herrens Hus til et af Kamrene, og giv dem Vin at drikke!
“Go to the house of the Rechabites, speak to them, and bring them to one of the chambers of the house of the LORD to offer them a drink of wine.”
3 Da tog jeg Jaasanja, en Søn af Jeremias, der var en Søn af Habazinia, tillige med hans Brødre og alle hans Sønner og Rekabiternes hele Hus,
So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the entire house of the Rechabites—
4 og jeg førte dem til Herrens Hus, til den Guds Mand Hanans, Jigdaljas Søns, Børns Kammer, som var ved Siden af Fyrsternes Kammer, oven over Dørvogteren Maasejas, Sallums Søns, Kammer.
and I brought them into the house of the LORD, to a chamber occupied by the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God. This room was near the chamber of the officials, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum the doorkeeper.
5 Og jeg satte for Rekabiternes Huses Børn Skaaler, fulde af Vin, tillige med Bægere, og jeg sagde til dem: Drikker Vin!
Then I set pitchers full of wine and some cups before the men of the house of the Rechabites, and I said to them, “Drink some wine.”
6 Men de sagde: Vi ville ikke drikke Vin; thi vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, har befalet os og sagt: I skulle ikke drikke Vin, hverken I eller eders Børn evindelig,
“We do not drink wine,” they replied, “for our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab commanded us, ‘Neither you nor your descendants are ever to drink wine.
7 og I skulle ikke bygge Hus og ikke saa Sæd og ikke plante Vingaard og ikke have saadant; men I skulle bo i Telte alle eders Dage, paa det I maa leve mange Dage i det Land, hvor I ere som fremmede.
Nor are you ever to build a house or sow seed or plant a vineyard. Those things are not for you. Instead, you must live in tents all your lives, so that you may live a long time in the land where you wander.’
8 Og vi adløde vor Fader, Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Røst, i alt det, som han havde budt os, saa at vi aldrig i vore Dage drikke Yin, hverken vi, vore Hustruer, eller vore Sønner og vore Døtre,
And we have obeyed the voice of our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab in all he commanded us. So we have not drunk wine all our lives—neither we nor our wives nor our sons and daughters.
9 og heller ikke bygge os Huse at bo udi, eller have Vingaard eller Mark eller Sæd.
Nor have we built houses in which to live, and we have not owned any vineyards or fields or crops.
10 Men vi boede i Telte og vare lydige og gjorde efter alt det, som vor Fader Jonadab havde budt os.
But we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done exactly as our forefather Jonadab commanded us.
11 Og det skete, der Nebukadnezar, Kongen af Babel, drog op i Landet, da sagde vi: Kommer og lader os gaa ind i Jerusalem for Kaldæernes Hær og for Syrernes Hær; og vi bleve i Jerusalem.
So when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched into the land, we said: ‘Come, let us go into Jerusalem to escape the armies of the Chaldeans and the Arameans.’ So we have remained in Jerusalem.”
12 Da kom Herrens Ord til Jeremias, saaledes:
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
13 Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Gak, og sig til Judas Mænd og til Jerusalems Indbyggere: Ville I ikke annamme Tugt, saa at I adlyde mine Ord? siger Herren.
“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem: ‘Will you not accept discipline and obey My words?’ declares the LORD.
14 De Ord ere holdte ved Magt, som Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, havde budt sine Børn, om ikke at drikke Vin, og de have ikke drukket Vin indtil denne Dag, fordi de adløde deres Faders Bud; men jeg, jeg har talt til eder tidligt og ideligt, og I have ikke adlydt mig.
The words of Jonadab son of Rechab have been carried out. He commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not drunk it to this very day because they have obeyed the command of their forefather. But I have spoken to you again and again, and you have not obeyed Me!
15 Og jeg sendte til eder alle mine Tjenere, Profeterne, tidligt og ideligt, at sige: Omvender eder dog, hver fra sin onde Vej, og bedrer eders Idrætter, og vandrer ikke efter andre Guder til at tjene dem, og bor i Landet, hvilket jeg har givet eder og eders Fædre; men I bøjede ikke eders Øre og adløde mig ikke.
Again and again I have sent you all My servants the prophets, proclaiming: ‘Turn now, each of you, from your wicked ways, and correct your actions. Do not go after other gods to serve them. Live in the land that I have given to you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear or listened to Me.
16 Efterdi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Børn have holdt deres Faders Bud, som han havde budt dem, men dette Folk ikke har adlydt mig,
Yes, the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab carried out the command their forefather gave them, but these people have not listened to Me.
17 derfor, saa siger Herren Zebaoths Gud, Israels Gud: Se, jeg lader komme over Juda og over alle Indbyggere i Jerusalem al den Ulykke, som jeg har talt imod dem, fordi jeg talte til dem, og de hørte ikke, og fordi jeg kaldte ad dem, og de svarede ikke.
Therefore this is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring to Judah and to all the residents of Jerusalem all the disaster I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them but they have not obeyed, and I have called to them but they have not answered.’”
18 Men til Rekabiternes Hus sagde Jeremias: Saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Fordi I adløde Jonadabs, eders Faders, Bud, og holdt alle hans Bud og gjorde efter alt det, som han havde budt eder,
Then Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites: “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the command of your forefather Jonadab and have kept all his commandments and have done all that he charged you to do,
19 derfor, saa siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Der skal ikke fattes for Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, en Mand, som skal staa for mit Ansigt alle Dage.
this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Jonadab son of Rechab will never fail to have a man to stand before Me.’”
