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,
Firman yang datang dari TUHAN kepada Yeremia di zaman Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, bunyinya:
2 Go into the house of the Rechabites, and have talk with them, and take them into the house of the Lord, into one of the rooms, and give them wine.
"Pergilah kepada kaum orang Rekhab, bicaralah dengan mereka dan bawalah mereka ke rumah TUHAN, ke dalam salah satu kamar, kemudian berilah mereka minum anggur!"
3 Then I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons and all the Rechabites;
Maka aku menjemput Yaazanya bin Yeremia bin Habazinya beserta saudara-saudaranya dan semua anaknya, pendeknya segenap kaum orang Rekhab.
4 And I took them into the house of the Lord, into the room of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the rulers' room, which was over the room of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door;
Aku membawa mereka ke rumah TUHAN, ke dalam kamar anak-anak Hanan bin Yigdalya, abdi Allah; itulah kamar yang di sebelah kamar para pembesar, di atas kamar Maaseya bin Salum, penjaga pintu.
5 And I put before the sons of the Rechabites basins full of wine and cups, and I said to them, Take some wine.
Di depan anggota-anggota kaum orang Rekhab itu aku meletakkan piala-piala penuh anggur dan cawan-cawan, lalu aku berkata kepada mereka: "Silakan minum anggur!"
6 But they said, We will take no wine: for Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, gave us orders, saying, You are to take no wine, you or your sons, for ever:
Tetapi mereka menjawab: "Kami tidak minum anggur, sebab Yonadab bin Rekhab, bapa leluhur kami, telah memberi perintah kepada kami, katanya: Janganlah kamu atau anak-anakmupun minum anggur sampai selama-lamanya;
7 And you are to make no houses, or put in seed, or get vine-gardens planted, or have any: but all your days you are to go on living in tents, so that you may have a long life in the land where you are living as in a strange country.
janganlah kamu mendirikan rumah, janganlah kamu menabur benih; janganlah kamu membuat atau mempunyai kebun anggur, melainkan haruslah kamu diam di kemah-kemah selama hidupmu, supaya lama kamu hidup di tanah, di mana kamu tinggal sebagai orang asing!
8 And we have kept the rules of Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, in everything which he gave us orders to do, drinking no wine all our days, we and our wives and our sons and our daughters;
Kami mentaati suara Yonadab bin Rekhab, bapa leluhur kami dalam segala apa yang diperintahkannya kepada kami, agar kami tidak minum anggur selama hidup kami, yakni kami sendiri, isteri kami, anak-anak lelaki dan anak-anak perempuan kami;
9 Building no houses for ourselves, having no vine-gardens or fields or seed:
agar kami tidak mendirikan rumah-rumah untuk kami diami, tidak mempunyai kebun anggur atau ladang serta benih,
10 But we have been living in tents, and have done everything which Jonadab our father gave us orders to do.
melainkan kami diam di kemah-kemah dan taat melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan kepada kami oleh Yonadab, bapa leluhur kami.
11 But when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem, away from the army of the Chaldaeans and from the army of the Aramaeans: and so we are living in Jerusalem.
Tetapi ketika Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, bergerak maju melawan negeri ini, maka kami berkata: Marilah kita mengungsi ke Yerusalem, karena tentara orang Kasdim dan tentara orang Aram itu! Demikianlah kami diam di Yerusalem."
12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Pada waktu itu datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
13 This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Go and say to the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, Is there no hope of teaching you to give ear to my words? says the Lord.
"Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Pergilah dan katakanlah kepada orang Yehuda dan kepada penduduk Yerusalem: Tidakkah kamu mau menerima penghajaran, yaitu mendengarkan perkataan-perkataan-
14 The orders which Jonadab, the son of Rechab, gave to his sons to take no wine, are done, and to this day they take no wine, for they do the orders of their father: but I have sent my words to you, getting up early and sending them, and you have not given ear to me.
Memang perintah Yonadab bin Rekhab itu masih ditepati; ia telah memerintahkan kepada keturunannya, supaya mereka jangan minum anggur, dan sampai sekarang ini mereka tidak meminumnya, sebab mereka mendengarkan perintah bapa leluhur mereka. Aku sendiri telah berbicara kepada kamu, terus-menerus, tetapi kamu tidak mendengarkan Aku.
15 And I have sent you all my servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them, saying, Come back, now, every man from his evil way, and do better, and go not after other gods to become their servants, and you will go on living in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but your ears have not been open, and you have not given attention to me.
Aku telah mengutus kepadamu segala hamba-Ku, yakni para nabi, terus-menerus, mengatakan: Kembalilah kamu masing-masing dari tingkah langkahmu yang jahat itu, perbaikilah perbuatanmu, janganlah mengikuti allah lain untuk beribadah kepada mereka, maka kamu akan tetap diam di tanah yang telah Kuberikan kepadamu dan kepada nenek moyangmu. Tetapi kamu tidak mau memperhatikannya dan kamu tidak mau mendengarkan Aku.
16 Though the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have done the orders of their father which he gave them, this people has not given ear to me:
Sungguh, keturunan Yonadab bin Rekhab menepati perintah yang diberikan bapa leluhurnya kepada mereka, tetapi bangsa ini tidak mau mendengarkan Aku!
17 For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem all the evil which I said I would do to them: because I sent my words to them, but they did not give ear; crying out to them, but they gave no answer.
Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, Allah Israel: Sesungguhnya, Aku mendatangkan kepada Yehuda dan kepada segenap penduduk Yerusalem segala malapetaka yang Kuancamkan atas mereka; karena Aku telah berbicara kepada mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengarkan, dan Aku telah berseru kepada mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mau menjawab."
18 But to the Rechabites Jeremiah said, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have done the orders of Jonadab your father, and have kept his rules, and done everything as he gave you orders to do it;
Tetapi berkatalah Yeremia kepada kaum orang Rekhab: "Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Oleh karena kamu telah mendengarkan perintah Yonadab, bapa leluhurmu, telah berpegang pada segala perintahnya dan telah melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkannya kepadamu,
19 For this reason the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Jonadab, the son of Rechab, will never be without a man to take his place before me.
maka beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Keturunan Yonadab bin Rekhab takkan terputus melayani Aku sepanjang masa."
