Jeremiah 35
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
Judah manghai Josiah capa Jehoiakim tue vaengah BOEIPA taeng lamkah ol he Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
2 “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.”
“Rekhah imkhui la cet lamtah amih te thui pah. Amih BOEIPA im kah imkhui pakhat la khuen lamtah amih te misurtui tul lah,” a ti.
3 So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the entire house of the Rechabites—
Te dongah Habazziniah koca Jeremiah capa Jaazaniah neh amah boeinaphung, amah koca boeih neh Rekhah imkhui boeih te ka khuen.
4 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.
Amih te BOEIPA im ah tah Pathen kah hlang Igdaliah koca Hanan ca rhoek kah imkhui la ka khuen. A taengah cingkhaa aka tawt Shallum capa Maaseiah imkhan soah mangpa rhoek kah imkhan om.
5 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.”
Te vaengah Rekhah imkhui koca mikhmuh ah misurtui te bunang dongah a bae la boengloeng neh ka tawn pah tih amih te, “Misurtui O uh,” ka ti nah.
6 “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.
Tedae, “Misurtui ka ok uh moenih. A pa Rekhab capa Jonadab oh kaimih ng'uen coeng. Namah neh na ca rhoek khaw kumhal due misurtui na o loengloeng mahpawh.
7 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.’
Im khaw sa boeh, cangti khaw tuh boeh, misurdum khaw tue boeh, na taengah om sak boeh. Namah khohnin boeih te dap khuiah khosa uh. Te daengah ni diklai mikhmuh kah na bakuep uh rhuet vaengah khohnin muep na hing uh eh,’ a ti.
8 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.
Kaimih ng'uen boeih te tah a pa Rekhab capa Jehonadab ol ni ka hnatun uh. Te dongah kamah tue khuiah tah kamamih khaw, ka yuu rhoek, ka capa rhoek, ka canu rhoek khaw misurtui a ok moenih.
9 Nor have we built houses in which to live, and we have not owned any vineyards or fields or crops.
Kaimih om nah ham im ka sa uh pawt tih kai taengah misurdum neh khohmuen khaw cangtii khaw om pawh.
10 But we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done exactly as our forefather Jonadab commanded us.
Tedae dap ah ka om uh tih a pa Jonadab kah ng'uen te boeih ka hnatun uh tih ka saii uh.
11 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.”
Te om vaengah he khohmuen ah Babylon manghai Nebukhanezar ha pongpa vaengah, “Ha mop uh latmah Khalden tatthai mikhmuh neh Aram tatthai mikhmuh ah Jerusalem la cet uh sih,” a ti uh dongah ni Jerusalem ah kho ka sak uh,” a ti uh.
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Jeremiah taengla ha pawk tih,
13 “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.
Israel Pathen Caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Cet lamtah Judah hlang taeng neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek taengah thui pah. Ka ol he hnatun ham thuituennah te na doe mahpawt nim? He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
14 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!
Rekhab capa Jehonadab loh amah koca rhoek taengah misurtui ok pawt ham a uen ol te ana thoh puei. A napa kah olpaek te a hnatun uh dongah ni tahae khohnin duela a ok uh pawh. Tedae kai loh nangmih taengah na thoh neh a thui khaw kan thui dae kai taengkah he na hnatun uh moenih.
15 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.
Ka sal boeih te nangmih taengah ni ka tueih. Tonghma rhoek te a thoh neh kan tueih tih, 'Hlang he a boethae longpuei lamloh mael laeh saeh. Na khoboe te hlawt uh. Amih thothueng la pathen tloe hnukah pongpa uh boeh. Nangmih taeng neh na pa rhoek taengah kam paek khohmuen ah te khosa uh,’ a ti. Tedae na hna te na kaeng uh pawt tih kai taengkah he na hnatun uh moenih.
16 Yes, the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab carried out the command their forefather gave them, but these people have not listened to Me.
Rekhab capa Jehonadab koca rhoek tah amih a uen bangla a napa kah olpaek te a thoh puei uh. Tedae he pilnam loh kai taengkah he a hnatun uh moenih.
17 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.’”
Israel Pathen caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui tangloeng van. Judah so neh Jerusalem khosa boeih soah boethae cungkuem ka thui te amamih taengah ka thoeng sak he. Amih ham ka thui dae a hnatun uh pawt dongah amih ka khue vaengah khaw n'doo uh pawh.
18 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,
Te dongah Rekhah imkhui te Jeremiah loh, “Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na pa Jehonadab kah olpaek te na hnatun uh tih a olpaek boeih te na ngaithuen uh dongah nangmih n'uen bangla boeih na saii uh.
19 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.’”
Te dongah Israel Pathen caempuei BOEIPA a thui tangloeng coeng he. Rekhab koca Jonadab kah a hlang tah amah tue khuiah tah ka mikhmuh ah pongtho vetih pat mahpawh.
