Jeremiah 35
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
| هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا، فِي عَهْدِ يَهُويَاقِيمَ بْنِ يُوشِيَّا مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ |
2 “Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the LORD’s house, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.”
| «امْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّكَابِيِّينَ وَخَاطِبْهُمْ، ثُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُمْ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى إِحْدَى الْحُجْرَاتِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ، وَاسْقِهِمْ خَمْراً». | ٢ |
3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, with his brothers, all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
| فَأَخَذْتُ يَازَنْيَا بْنَ إِرْمِيَا بْنِ حَبْصِينِيَا وَإِخْوَتَهُ وَجَمِيعَ أَبْنَائِهِ وَكُلَّ أَفْرَادِ بَيْتِ الرَّكَابِيِّينَ، | ٣ |
4 and I brought them into the LORD’s house, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the princes, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
| وَدَخَلْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَى هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَى مُخْدَعِ بَنِي حَانَانَ بْنِ يَجَدْلِيَا رَجُلِ اللهِ الْقَائِمِ إِلَى جُوَارِ مُخْدَعِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ، الَّذِي فَوْقَ مُخْدَعِ مَعْسِيَّا بْنِ شَلُّومَ حَارِسِ بَابِ الْهَيْكَلِ، | ٤ |
5 I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “Drink wine!”
| ثُمَّ وَضَعْتُ أَمَامَ الرَّكَابِيِّينَ جِرَاراً مَلآنَةً بِالْخَمْرِ وَكُؤُوساً، وَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ: «اشْرَبُوا خَمْراً». | ٥ |
6 But they said, “We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink no wine, neither you nor your children, forever.
| فَأَجَابُوا: «نَحْنُ لَا نَشْرَبُ خَمْراً، لأَنَّ يُونَادَابَ بْنَ رَكَابَ أَبَانَا أَوْصَانَا: لَا تَشْرَبُوا خَمْراً أَنْتُمْ وَلا أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. | ٦ |
7 You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, or have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, that you may live many days in the land in which you live as nomads.’
| وَلا تُشَيِّدُوا بَيْتاً، وَلا تَزْرَعُوا زَرْعاً، وَلا تَغْرِسُوا كُرُوماً، وَلا تَمْتَلِكُوا وَاحِداً مِنْهَا، بَلْ أَقِيمُوا فِي خِيَامٍ طَوَالَ حَيَاتِكُمْ، فَتَطُولَ أَيَّامُكُمْ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتُمْ فِيهَا مُتَغَرِّبُونَ. | ٧ |
8 We have obeyed 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, or our daughters;
| فَأَطَعْنَا وَصِيَّةَ يُونَادَابَ أَبِينَا فِي كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَنَا بِهِ، فَلَمْ نَشْرَبْ خَمْراً طَوَالَ حَيَاتِنَا نَحْنُ وَنِسَاؤُنَا وَأَبْنَاؤُنَا وَبَنَاتُنَا، | ٨ |
9 and not to build houses for ourselves to dwell in. We have no vineyard, field, or seed;
| وَلَمْ نُشَيِّدْ بُيُوتاً نُقِيمُ فِيهَا، وَلَمْ نَمْلِكْ كَرْماً أَوْ حَقْلاً أَوْ زَرْعاً، | ٩ |
10 but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
| إِنَّمَا سَكَنَّا فِي خِيَامٍ. لَقَدْ أَطَعْنَا وَعَمِلْنَا بِكُلِّ مَا أَوْصَانَا بِهِ أَبُونَا يُونَادَابُ. | ١٠ |
11 But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, we said, ‘Come! Let’s go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we will dwell at Jerusalem.’”
| فَلَمَّا زَحَفَ نَبُوخَذْنَصَّرُ عَلَى الْبِلادِ قُلْنَا: تَعَالَوْا لِنَلْجَأْ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ هَرَباً مِنْ جَيْشِ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ وَالأَرَامِيِّينَ، وَهَكَذَا أَقَمْنَا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ». | ١١ |
12 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
| فَأَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا: | ١٢ |
13 “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?” says the LORD.
| «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: انْطَلِقْ وَقُلْ لِرِجَالِ يَهُوذَا وَلأَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ: أَلا تَقْبَلُونَ تَأْدِيباً فَتَسْمَعُوا كَلامِي؟ | ١٣ |
14 “The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment; but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and you have not listened to me.
| هَا وَصِيَّةُ يُونَادَابَ بْنِ رَكَابَ الَّتِي أَوْصَى بِها أَبْنَاءَهُ قَائِلاً لَا تَشْرَبُوا خَمْراً، قَدْ نَفَّذُوهَا، فَلَمْ يَشْرَبُوا خَمْراً إِلَى هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، لأَنَّهُمْ أَطَاعُوا أَمْرَ أَبِيهِمْ. أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَنْذَرْتُكُمْ مُنْذُ الْبَدْءِ فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا لِي، | ١٤ |
15 I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Every one of you must return now from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them. Then you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers;’ but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
| وَبَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعَ عَبِيدِي الأَنْبِيَاءِ، الْوَاحِدَ تِلْوَ الآخَرِ قَائِلاً:’لِيَرْجِعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِهِ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَقَوِّمُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْ، وَلا تَضِلُّوا وَرَاءَ آلِهَةٍ أُخْرَى لِتَعْبُدُوهَا، فَتَسْتَوْطِنُوا الأَرْضَ الَّتِي وَهَبْتُهَا لَكُمْ وَلِآبَائِكُمْ‘، فَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا وَلَمْ تُطِيعُونِي. | ١٥ |
16 The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to me.”’
| لَقَدْ نَفَّذَ أَبْنَاءُ يُونَادَابَ بْنِ رَكَابَ وَصِيَّةَ أَبِيهِمِ الَّتِي أَمَرَهُمْ بِها، أَمَّا هَذَا الشَّعْبُ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعْ لِي.» | ١٦ |
17 “Therefore the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.’”
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «سَأُوْقِعُ عَلَى شَعْبِ يَهُوذَا وَعَلَى جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ كُلَّ مَا قَضَيْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ عِقَابٍ، لأَنِّي أَنْذَرْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، وَدَعَوْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا». | ١٧ |
18 Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,’
| وَقَالَ إِرْمِيَا لِبَيْتِ الرَّكَابِيِّينَ: «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: بِمَا أَنَّكُمْ أَطَعْتُمْ وَصِيَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ يُونَادَابَ وَنَفَّذْتُمْ جَمِيعَ أَوَامِرِهِ وَعَمِلْتُمْ بِها، | ١٨ |
19 therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jonadab the son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before me forever.’”
| لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: لَا يَنْقَرِضُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ يُونَادَابَ بْنِ رَكَابَ رَجُلٌ يَمْثُلُ أَمَامِي كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ». | ١٩ |
