< Jeremias 35 >

1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren i Joasiases søn kong Jojakim af Judas Dage:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the 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 to the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Så hentede jeg Jaazanja, en Søn af Jirmeja, Habazzinjas Søn, og hans Brødre og alle hans Sønner og hele Rekabiternes Hus
And I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, 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 Maasejas, Sjallums Søns, Kammer.
and I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the 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 threshold.
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 bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink 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,
And they said, We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, ye nor 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.
neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor shall ye have [any]; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land where ye sojourn.
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 hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters,
9 bygge Huse at bo i og eje Vingårde, Marker eller Sæd,
and not 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 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 Aramernes Hære! Og vi slog os ned i Jerusalem."
And it came to pass when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come and let us go into Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans, and because of the army of Syria; and we dwell at Jerusalem.
12 Da kom HERRENs Ord til mig således
And the word of Jehovah came unto 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.
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 unto 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 årle og silde, uden at I vilde høre mig.
The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they have drunk none, for they have obeyed their father's commandment. But I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened unto 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 unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them; and ye shall dwell in the land that I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear nor hearkened unto me.
16 Fordi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Sønner overholdt deres Faders Bud, medens dette Folk ikke vilde høre mig,
Yea, the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people hath not hearkened unto 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 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 that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken unto them, but they have not hearkened, and I have called unto 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,
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his injunctions, and have done according unto all that he hath commanded you;
19 derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ingen Sinde skal Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, fattes en Mand til at stå for mit Åsyn.
therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, There shall not fail to Jonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before me, for ever.
