< Jeremias 35 >
1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren i Joasiases søn kong Jojakim af Judas Dage:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
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 into the house of the Rechabites, and have talk with them, and take them into the house of the Lord, into one of the rooms, and give them wine.
3 Så hentede jeg Jaazanja, 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 Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons and all 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 took them into the house of the Lord, into the room of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the rulers' room, which was over the room 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 put before the sons of the Rechabites basins full of wine and cups, and I said to them, Take 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,
But they said, We will take no wine: for Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, gave us orders, saying, You are to take no wine, you or your sons, for ever:
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.
And you are to make no houses, or put in seed, or get vine-gardens planted, or have any: but all your days you are to go on living in tents, so that you may have a long life in the land where you are living as in a strange country.
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 kept the rules of Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, in everything which he gave us orders to do, drinking no wine all our days, we and our wives and our sons and our daughters;
9 bygge Huse at bo i og eje Vingårde, Marker eller Sæd,
Building no houses for ourselves, having no vine-gardens or fields or seed:
10 men bor i Telte; vi har adlydt og nøje gjort, som vor Fader Jonadab bød os.
But we have been living in tents, and have done everything which Jonadab our father gave us orders to do.
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."
But when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem, away from the army of the Chaldaeans and from the army of the Aramaeans: and so we are living in Jerusalem.
12 Da kom HERRENs Ord til mig således
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
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 armies, the God of Israel, has said: Go and say to the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, Is there no hope of teaching you to give ear to my words? says 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 orders which Jonadab, the son of Rechab, gave to his sons to take no wine, are done, and to this day they take no wine, for they do the orders of their father: but I have sent my words to you, getting up early and sending them, and you have not given ear to 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.
And I have sent you all my servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them, saying, Come back, now, every man from his evil way, and do better, and go not after other gods to become their servants, and you will go on living in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but your ears have not been open, and you have not given attention to me.
16 Fordi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Sønner overholdt deres Faders Bud, medens dette Folk ikke vilde høre mig,
Though the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have done the orders of their father which he gave them, this people has not given ear 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.
For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem all the evil which I said I would do to them: because I sent my words to them, but they did not give ear; crying out to them, but they gave no answer.
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,
But to the Rechabites Jeremiah said, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have done the orders of Jonadab your father, and have kept his rules, and done everything as he gave you orders to do it;
19 derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ingen Sinde skal Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, fattes en Mand til at stå for mit Åsyn.
For this reason the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Jonadab, the son of Rechab, will never be without a man to take his place before me.
