< Jeremias 35 >
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN i Josias's Søn Kong Jojakim af Judas Dage:
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying:
2 »Gaa hen til Rekabiternes Hus og tal dem til, bring dem til et af Kamrene i HERRENS Hus og giv dem Vin at drikke!«
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 Saa hentede jeg Ja'azanja, en Søn af Jirmeja, Habazzinjas Søn, og hans Brødre og alle hans Sønner og hele Rekabiternes Hus
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 og bragte dem til HERRENS Hus, til den Guds Mand Hanans, Jigdaljahus Søns, Sønners Kammer ved Siden af Fyrsternes Kammer oven over Dørvogteren Ma'asejas, Sjallums Søns, Kammer.
and brought them into the house of Jehovah, 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 Og jeg satte Krukker, som var fulde af Vin, og Bægre for dem og sagde: »Drik!«
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine and cups, and I said to them, “Drink ye wine.”
6 Men de svarede: »Vi drikker ikke Vin, thi vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, gav os det Bud: I og eders Børn maa aldrig drikke Vin,
But they said, “We will not drink wine; for Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, ye nor your sons, forever;
7 ej heller bygge Huse eller saa Korn eller plante eller eje Vingaarde, men I skal bo i Telte hele eders Liv, for at I maa leve længe i det Land, I bor i som fremmede.
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 long in the land wherein ye are strangers.
8 Og vi har adlydt vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, i alt, hvad han bød os, idet baade vi, vore Kvinder, Sønner og Døtre hele vort Liv afholder os fra at drikke Vin,
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, neither we, nor our wives, nor our sons, nor our daughters;
9 bygge Huse at bo i og eje Vingaarde, Marker eller Sæd,
nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed;
10 men bor i Telte; vi har adlydt og nøje gjort, som vor Fader Jonadab bød os.
but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us.
11 Men da Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel faldt ind i Landet, sagde vi: Kom, lad os ty til Jerusalem for Kaldæernes og Aramæernes Hære! Og vi slog os ned i Jerusalem.«
But it came to pass when Nebuchadnezzar, 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 Chaldaeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we dwell at Jerusalem.”
12 Da kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, saying,
13 Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Gaa hen og sig til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere: Vil I ikke tage ved Lære og høre mine Ord? lyder det fra HERREN.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go and say to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Will ye not receive instruction, to hearken to my words? saith Jehovah.
14 Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Bud er blevet overholdt; thi han forbød sine Sønner at drikke Vin, og de har ikke drukket Vin til den Dag i Dag, men adlydt deres Faders Bud; men jeg har talet til eder aarle og silde, uden at I vilde høre mig.
The words of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, in which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, have been performed; for they have drunk no wine to this day, but have obeyed the commandment of their father. I also have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, but ye have not hearkened to me.
15 Jeg sendte alle mine Tjenere Profeterne til eder aarle og silde, for at de skulde sige: »Omvend eder hver fra sin onde Vej, gør gode Gerninger og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, saa I dyrker dem; saa skal I bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre.« Men I bøjede ikke eders Øre og hørte mig ikke.
And I have sent to you all my servants, the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every one 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 Fordi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Sønner overholdt deres Faders Bud, medens dette Folk ikke vilde høre mig,
Since then the sons of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, and this people have not hearkened to me;
17 derfor, saa siger HERREN, Hærskarers Gud, Israels Gud: Se, jeg bringer over Juda og Jerusalems Borgere al den Ulykke, jeg har truet dem med, fordi de ikke hørte, da jeg talede, og ikke svarede, da jeg kaldte ad dem.
therefore thus saith 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 which I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, and they have not hearkened, and I have called to them, and they have not answered.
18 Men til Rekabiternes Hus sagde Jeremias: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Fordi I har adlydt eders Fader Jonadabs Bud og overholdt alle hans Bud og gjort alt, hvad han bød eder,
And to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said: Thus saith 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 which he commanded you,
19 derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ingen Sinde skal Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, fattes en Mand til at staa for mit Aasyn.
therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: There shall not fail in the land of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, men to stand before me forever.
