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:
Ke pacl se Jehoiakim wen natul Josiah el tokosra lun Judah, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
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.”
“Fahla nu yurin mwet in sou lun Rechab ac kaskas nu selos. Na kom usalosme nu in sie sin fukil in Tempul ac sang wain nu selos elos in nim.”
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—
Ouinge nga som nu yorol Jaazaniah (wen nutin sie pac Jeremiah, su ma natul Habazziniah), ac tamulel lal ac wen nukewa natul, aok mwet nukewa in sou lun Rechab,
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.
ac usalosme nu in Tempul. Nga eisalos nu infukil sin mwet lutlut lun mwet palu Hanan, wen natul Igdaliah. Infukil se inge oan fin infukil sel Maaseiah, wen natul Shallum, sie mwet fulat oa in Tempul, ac apkuran pac nu ke infukil sin mwet leum saya ah.
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.”
Na nga likiya pol sessesla ke wain, wi cup, ye mutun mwet Rechab, ac nga fahk nu selos, “Nim wain uh.”
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.
Tusruktu elos topuk fahk, “Kut tia nim wain. Jonadab, wen natul Rechab papa matu tumasr, el sapkin nu sesr mu kut, ac fwilin tulik natusr, in tiana nim wain.
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.’
El oayapa fahk kut in tia musa lohm ku orek ima, ku yok ima in grape ac in tia pac moli ima sin mwet ngia. El sap kut in mutana in lohm nuknuk pacl nukewa, kut in mau mutangan mwet fahsr in facl se inge.
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.
Kut akos kas nukewa ma Jonadab el wili nu sesr. Kut sifacna kut tiana nim wain, oayapa mutan kiasr, wen natusr, ac acn natusr tia pac nim.
9 Nor have we built houses in which to live, and we have not owned any vineyards or fields or crops.
Kut oayapa tia musa lohm in muta loac. Wangin ima in grape ku ima in wheat lasr, ac kut tia pac yukwi.
10 But we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done exactly as our forefather Jonadab commanded us.
Kut mutana in lohm nuknuk, ac kut akos ac oru ma nukewa papa matu tumasr, Jonadab, el sapkin nu sesr.
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.”
Tusruktu ke pacl se tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuku mweuni facl se inge, na kut sulela in tuku nu Jerusalem kut in kaingla liki un mwet mweun lun Babylonia ac Syria. Pa inge sripen muta lasr inge.”
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Na kas lun LEUM GOD tuku nu sel Jeremiah, fahk ouinge:
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.
LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Fahla nu yurin mwet Judah ac elos su muta Jerusalem ac fahk, ‘Efu ku kowos srangesr porongeyu ac akos kas in luti luk?
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!
Fwilin tulik natul Jonadab elos akos na sap lal tuh elos in tia nim wain, na oru elos tiana nim nwe misenge. A nga kaskas na kaskas nu suwos, a kowos tiana akosyu.
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.
Nga tia fuhleak in supu nu yuruwos mwet kulansap nukewa su mwet palu luk, ac elos fahk nu suwos kowos in tui liki ouiyen moul sufal lowos, ac in oru ma suwohs. Elos sensenkakin kowos in tia alu ac kulansupu god saya, tuh kowos in ku in mutana fin facl se nga tuh sang nu sin mwet matu lowos ac oayapa nu suwos. A kowos tiana porongeyu ku lohma nu sik.
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.
Fwilin tulik natul Rechab elos akos oakwuk ma Jonadab, papa matu tumalos, sang nu selos, a kowos tiana akosyu.
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.’”
Ke ma inge, nga LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, ac use nu fowos mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem mwe ongoiya nukewa nga wulela kac. Nga ac oru ma inge ke sripen kowos tiana porongeyu ke nga kaskas nu suwos, ac kowos tia pac topukyu ke nga pang nu suwos.’”
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,
Na nga fahk nu sin mwet in sou lal Rechab, lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Mweyen kowos akos na ma sap lal Jonadab, papa matu tomowos, ac fahsr tukun oakwuk nukewa ma el oakiya nu suwos, ac orala ma nukewa el sapkin nu suwos,
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.’”
na pa inge, nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, wulela mu pacl nukewa ac fah oasr na wen se ke fwilin tulik natul Jonadab wen natul Rechab, su fah kulansapweyu.”
