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:
Dubbiin bara Yehooyaaqiim ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa turetti Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe akkana jedha:
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.”
“Gara mana Rekaabotaa dhaqiitii gara mana Waaqayyootti isaan waami; kutaa manaa tokkotti ol isaan galchiitii akka dhuganiif daadhii wayinii kenniif.”
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—
Anis dhaqeen Yaazaniyaa ilma Ermiyaas, ilma Habazneyaa, obboloota isaatii fi ilmaan isaa hunda jechuunis maatii Rekaabotaa guutuu waame.
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.
Anis gara mana Waaqayyootti isaan fidee kutaa mana ilmaan Haanaan ilma Yigdaaliyaa nama Waaqaa sanaatti ol galche. Kutaan sunis kutaa qondaaltotaa kan kutaa Maʼaseyaa ilma Shaluum namicha balbala eegu sanaatii ol jirutti aana ture.
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.”
Anis waciitiiwwan daadhii wayiniitiin guutamanii fi xoofoo fuula Rekaabotaa duratti dhiʼeesseen, “Daadhii wayinii kana dhugaa” jedheen.
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.
Isaan garuu akkana jedhanii deebisan: “Nu sababii abbaan keenya Yoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab akkana jedhee nu ajajeef daadhii wayinii hin dhugnu: ‘Isin yookaan sanyiin keessan gonkumaa daadhii wayinii hin dhuginaa.
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.’
Akkasumas isin mana ijaarrachuu, sanyii facaafachuu yookaan wayinii dhaabbachuu hin qabdan; isin yeroo hunda dunkaanota keessa jiraachuu qabdu malee waan kanneen keessaa tokko illee qabaachuu hin qabdan. Yoos isin biyya itti keessummaa taatan keessa bara dheeraa ni jiraattu.’
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.
Nu waan abbaan keenya Yehoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab nu ajaje hunda eegneerra. Nu yookaan niitonni keenya yookaan ilmaanii fi intallan keenya daadhii wayinii hin dhugne.
9 Nor have we built houses in which to live, and we have not owned any vineyards or fields or crops.
Yookaan mana keessa jiraannu yookaan wayinii, lafa qotiisaa yookaan midhaan hin qabnu.
10 But we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done exactly as our forefather Jonadab commanded us.
Nu dunkaana keessa jiraannee waan abbaan keenya Yoonaadaab nu ajaje hunda eegneerra.
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.”
Garuu yeroo Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon biyya kana qabatetti nu, ‘Kottaa; nu Baabilonotaa fi loltoota Sooriyaa duraa baqannee Yerusaalemitti galuu qabna’ waliin jenne. Akkasiinis nu Yerusaalem keessatti hafne.”
12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
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.
“Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Dhaqiitii namoota Yihuudaatii fi saba Yerusaalemiin ‘Isin gorsa koo fudhattanii naaf hin ajajamtanii?’ jedhi, jedha Waaqayyo.
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!
‘Yehoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab akka ilmaan isaa daadhii wayinii hin dhugne ajaje; ajajni kunis eegameera. Isaan sababii ajaja abbaa isaanii eeganiif hamma harʼaatti daadhii wayinii hin dhugan. Ani garuu ammumaa amma isinitti dubbadheera; isin immoo naaf hin ajajamne.
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.
Ani tajaajiltoota koo raajota hunda ammumaa amma isinitti erge. Isaan akkana isiniin jedhan; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan karaa keessan hamaa sana irraa deebitanii hojii keessan qajeelfachuu qabdu. Isaan tajaajiluuf jettanii waaqota biraa duukaa hin buʼinaa. Yoos isin biyya ani isinii fi abbootii keessaniif kenne keessa ni jiraattu.” Isin gurra keessan naaf hin kennine, yookaan na hin dhaggeeffanne.
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.
Sanyiin Yehoonaadaab ilma Rekaab ajaja abbaan isaanii isaaniif kenne eeganiiru; sabni kun garuu naaf hin ajajamne.’
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.’”
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Dhaggeeffadhaa! Ani Yihuudaattii fi nama Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu hundatti balaa nan fida jedhee labse sana hunda nan fida. Ani isaanitti dubbadheen ture; isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffanne. Ani isaan waameen ture; isaan garuu hin owwaanne.’”
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,
Ermiyaasis maatii Rekaabotaatiin akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Isin ajaja abbaa keessan Yehoonaadaab eegdanii gorsa isaa hunda illee duukaa buutaniirtu; waan inni isin ajaje hundas hojjettaniirtu.’
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.’”
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Yoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab gonkumaa nama fuula koo dura dhaabatee na tajaajilu hin dhabu.’”
