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,
Pawòl ki te rive a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a nan jou a Jojakim yo, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, te di:
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.”
“Ale lakay Rekabit yo. Pale avèk yo e mennen yo antre lakay SENYÈ a, nan youn nan chanm yo, e bay yo diven pou yo bwè.”
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;
Konsa, mwen te pran Jaazania, fis a Jérémie an, fis a Habazinia a, frè li yo, tout fis li yo ak tout kay Rekabit yo,
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.
epi mwen te mennen yo lakay SENYÈ la, nan chanm a fis a Hanan yo, fis a Jigdalia a, nonm Bondye ki te toupre chanm ofisye yo, ki te anwo chanm Maaséja a, fis a Schallum nan, gadyen pòt la.
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!”
Epi mwen te plase devan mesye lakay Rekabit yo, krich plen ak diven ak tas, epi mwen te di yo: “Bwè diven!”
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.
Men yo te di: “Nou p ap bwè diven, paske Jonadab, fis a Récab la, papa nou, te bannou lòd e te di: ‘Nou p ap bwè diven, ni nou menm, ni fis nou yo jis pou tout tan.
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.’
Nou pa pou bati kay e nou pa pou simen semans, ni plante chan rezen, ni achte youn; men se nan tant nou dwe viv pandan tout jou nou yo, pou nou kapab viv anpil jou nan peyi kote nou demere a.’
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;
Nou te obeyi a vwa Jonadab, fis a Récab la, papa nou, nan tout sa li te kòmande nou, pou pa bwè diven pandan tout jou nou yo, nou menm, madanm nou, fis nou yo ak fi nou yo,
9 and not to build houses for ourselves to dwell in. We have no vineyard, field, or seed;
ni bati pou nou menm kay pou nou ta viv ladann. Nou pa genyen chan rezen yo, ni chan kiltive, ni semans,
10 but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
“Men se sèlman nan tant nou te rete yo. Nou te obeyi e te fè selon tout sa ke Jonadab, papa nou, te kòmande nou yo.
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.’”
Men lè Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te monte kont peyi a, nou te di: ‘Vini! Annou ale Jérusalem akoz lakrent lame Kaldeyen yo ak lakrent lame Siryen yo. Konsa, nou va rete Jérusalem.’”
12 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie. Li te di:
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.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Ale di a mesye Juda yo, e a sila k ap viv Jérusalem yo: “Èske nou p ap resevwa lenstriksyon pou koute pawòl Mwen yo?” deklare SENYÈ a.
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.
“Pawòl a Jonadab, fis a Récab la, ke li te kòmande fis li yo pou pa bwè diven yo, byen obsève. Pou sa, yo pa bwè diven jis rive jou sa a, paske yo te obeyi lòd papa yo. Men Mwen te pale ak nou ankò e ankò, e nou pa t koute Mwen.
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.
Anplis, Mwen te voye a nou menm tout sèvitè Mwen yo, pwofèt yo. Mwen te voye yo ankò e ankò e yo te di: ‘Vire koulye a chak moun kite move chemen li, korije zèv mechan nou yo, e pa kouri dèyè lòt dye yo pou adore yo. Konsa, nou va demere nan peyi ke M te ba a nou menm e a papa zansèt nou yo;’ men nou pa t enkline zòrèy nou, ni nou pa t koute Mwen.
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.”’
Anverite, fis a Jonadab yo, fis a Récab la te swiv lòd a papa yo ak sila li te kòmande yo, men pèp sa a pa t koute Mwen.”’
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.’”
“Akoz sa, pale SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen ap mennen sou Juda ak sou tout sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, tout dezas ke M te pwononse kont yo, akoz Mwen te pale ak yo, men yo pa t koute, e Mwen te rele yo, men yo pa t reponn.’”
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,’
Epi Jérémie te di a lakay Rekabit yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Akoz nou te obeyi lòd a Jonadab, papa nou an, nou te swiv tout lòd li yo, e te fè tout sa ke li te kòmande nou;’
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.’”
Pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Jonadab, fis a Récab la, p ap manke yon nonm ki pou toujou kanpe devan M.’”
