Jeremias 35

1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN i Josias's Søn Kong Jojakim af Judas Dage:

The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim 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 family of the Rekabites and speak with them. Then bring them to my house, into one of the rooms there, 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

So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah and his brothers, all his sons, and all the family of the Rekabites.

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.

I took them to the house of Yahweh, into the rooms of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, the man of God. These rooms were beside the room of the leaders, which was above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the gatekeeper.

5 Og jeg satte Krukker, som var fulde af Vin, og Bægre for dem og sagde: »Drik!«

Then I placed bowls and cups full of wine in front of the Rekabites and said to them, “Drink some 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 any wine, for our ancestor, Jonadab son of Rekab, commanded us, 'Do not drink any wine, neither you nor your descendants, 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.

Also, do not build any houses, sow any seeds, or plant any vineyards; this is not for you. For you must live in tents all your days, so that you might live many days in the land where you are staying as foreigners.'

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,

We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab son of Rekab, our ancestor, in all that he commanded us, to never drink wine all of our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters.

9 bygge Huse at bo i og eje Vingaarde, Marker eller Sæd,

We will never build houses to live in, and there will be no vineyard, field, or seed in our possession.

10 men bor i Telte; vi har adlydt og nøje gjort, som vor Fader Jonadab bød os.

We have lived in tents and we have obeyed and done all that Jonadab our ancestor 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 when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked the land, we said, 'Come, we must go to Jerusalem to escape from the Chaldean and Aramean armies.' So we are living in Jerusalem.”

12 Da kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:

Then the word of Yahweh came 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.

“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive correction and listen to my words? —this is Yahweh's declaration.

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 son of Rekab that he gave to his sons as a command, not to drink any wine, have been observed to this very day. They have obeyed their ancestor's command. But as for me, I myself have been making persistent proclamations to you, but you do not listen 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.

I sent out to you all my servants, the prophets. I was persistent in sending them to say, 'Let each person turn from his wicked way and do good deeds; let no one walk any longer after other gods and worship them. Instead, come back to the land that I gave to you and your ancestors.' Yet you will not listen to me or pay attention to me.

16 Fordi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Sønner overholdt deres Faders Bud, medens dette Folk ikke vilde høre mig,

For the descendants of Jonadab son of Rekab have observed the commands of their ancestor that he gave them, but this people refuses to listen 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.

So Yahweh, God of hosts and God of Israel, says this, 'Look, I am bringing upon Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem, all the disasters I pronounced against them because I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.'”

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,

Jeremiah said to the family of the Rekabites, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: You have listened to the commands of Jonadab your ancestor and have kept them all—you have obeyed all that he commanded you to do—

19 derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ingen Sinde skal Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, fattes en Mand til at staa for mit Aasyn.

so Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'There will always be someone descended from Jonadab son of Rekab to serve me.'”
