< 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:
Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanao hoe:
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.”
Mankanesa any amin’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba, ary mitenena aminy, dia ampidiro ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, ao amin’ ny efi-trano anankiray, izy, ka omeo divay hosotroiny.
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—
Dia nalaiko Jazania, zanak’ i Jeremia, zanak’ i Habazinia, sy ny rahalahiny sy ny zanany rehetra mbamin’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba rehetra,
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.
ka nampidiriko ho ao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy, dia tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ ny taranak’ i Hanana zanak’ i Jigdalia, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, izay ao anilan’ ny efi-tranon’ ny mpanapaka, ao ambonin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Mahaseia, zanak’ i Saloma, mpiandry varavarana.
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.”
Ary norosoako kapoaka sy siny feno divay teo anoloan’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba ka nolazaiko taminy hoe: Misotroa divay ianareo.
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.
Fa hoy kosa ireo: Tsy hisotro divay izahay; fa Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, razanay efa nafatra anay hoe: Aza mba misotro divay ianareo na ny taranakareo mandrakizay;
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.’
ary aza manao trano ianareo, na mamafy voan-javatra, na manao tanim-boaloboka, na mety hanana izany akory, fa lay no itoeronareo amin’ ny andronareo rehetra, mba ho ela velona ianareo amin’ ny tany izay ivahinianareo.
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.
Dia nankatoavinay izany tenin’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, razanay izany tamin’ izay rehetra nanafarany anay, mba tsy hisotro divay amin’ ny andronay rehetra, na izahay na ny vadinay, na ny zanakai-lahy, na ny zanakai-vavy;
9 Nor have we built houses in which to live, and we have not owned any vineyards or fields or crops.
ary tsy hanao trano hitoeranay, na hanana tanimboly, na saha, na voan-javatra izahay;
10 But we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done exactly as our forefather Jonadab commanded us.
fa efa nitoetra an-day izahay araka izay rehetra nanafaran’ i Jonadaba razanay anay.
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.”
Fa raha nananika ny tany Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona. Dia hoy izahay: Andeha isika hankany Jerosalema handositra ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana sy ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana, ka dia izany no itoerany eto Jerosalema.
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
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.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Andeha, lazao amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema hoe: Tsy hino anatra hitandrina ny teniko va ianareo? hoy Jehovah.
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!
To ny tenin’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, izay nanafarany ny zanany tsy hisotro divay, fa tsy misotro tokoa izy mandraka androany, fa mahatana ny hafa-drazany, ary Izaho efa niteny taminareo, eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka niteny, nefa tsy nihaino ianareo.
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.
Nirahiko taminareo koa ny mpaminany mpanompoko rehetra, eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka naniraka azy hanao hoe: Samia miala amin’ ny lalanareo ratsy ianareo ankehitriny, ary ataovy tsara ny ataonareo, ary aza manaraka andriamani-kafa hanompo azy, dia honina amin’ ny tany izay nomeko anareo sy ny razanareo ianareo nefa tsy nanongilana ny sofinareo na nihaino Ahy ianareo.
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.
Eny, nankatoavin’ ny zanak’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, ny hafa-drazany, izay nanafarany azy; fa ity firenena ity kosa tsy mba nihaino Ahy.
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.’”
Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely Indro, hataoko mihatra amin’ ny Joda sy ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema ny loza rehetra izay nolazaiko hatao aminy, satria efa niteny taminy Aho, fa tsy nihaino izy, ary niantso azy Aho, fa tsy namaly izy.
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,
Ary ny taranak’ i Rekaba dia nilazan’ i Jeremia hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Noho ny nahatananareo ny hafatr’ i Jonadaba razanareo sy ny nitandremanareo ny hafany rehetra ary ny nanaovanareo araka izay rehetra nanafarany anareo,
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.’”
dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, tsy ho diso zanakalahy hitsangana eo anatrehako mandrakizay.
