Jeremias 35
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren i Joasiases søn kong Jojakim af Judas Dage:
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
2 "Gå 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, 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 Så hentede jeg Jaazanja, en Søn af Jirmeja, Habazzinjas Søn, og hans Brødre og alle hans Sønner og hele Rekabiternes 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 bragte dem til HERRENs Hus, til den Guds Mand Hanans, Jigdaljahus Søns, Sønners Kammer ved Siden af Fyrsternes Kammer oven over Dørvogteren Maasejas, Sjallums 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 krukker, som var fulde af Vin, og Bægre for dem og sagde: "Drik!"
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 svarede: Vi drikker ikke Vin, thi vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, gav os det Bud: I og eders Børn må aldrig drikke Vin,
“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 ej heller bygge Huse eller så Korn eller plante eller eje Vingårde, men I skal bo i Telte hele eders Liv, for at I må leve længe i det Land, I bor i som frem1uede.
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 har adlydt vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, i alt, hvad han bød os, idet både vi, vore kvinder, Sønner og Døtre hele vort Liv afholder os fra at drikke Vin,
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 bygge Huse at bo i og eje Vingårde, Marker eller Sæd,
Nor have we built houses in which to live, and we have not owned any vineyards or fields or crops.
10 men bor i Telte; vi har adlydt og nøje gjort, som vor Fader Jonadab bød os.
But we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done exactly as our forefather Jonadab commanded us.
11 Men da Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel faldt ind i Landet, sagde vi: Kom, lad os ty til Jerusalem for Kaldæernes og Aramernes Hære! Og vi slog os ned 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 mig således
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
13 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Gå hen og sig til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere: Vil I ikke tage ved Lære og høre mine Ord? lyder det fra 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 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 årle og silde, uden at I vilde høre 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 Jeg sendte alle mine Tjenere Profeterne til eder årle og silde, for at de skulde sige: "Omvend eder hver fra sin onde Vej, gør gode Gerninger og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, så I dyrker dem; så skal I bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre." Men I bøjede ikke eders Øre og hørte 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 Fordi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Sønner overholdt deres Faders Bud, medens dette Folk ikke vilde høre 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, så 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 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: Så 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,
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, så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ingen Sinde skal Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, fattes en Mand til at stå for mit Åsyn.
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.’”
