< Jeremiah 35 >

1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord in the days of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, saying:
Ma e wach mane obirone Jeremia koa ir Jehova Nyasaye e kinde loch Jehoyakim wuod Josia ma ruodh Juda:
2 Go to the house of the Rechabites: and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers of the treasures, and thou shalt give them wine to drink.
“Dhiyo ir anywola mar Rekab kendo igwelgi mondo gibi e achiel kuom agola mar od Jehova Nyasaye kendo imigi divai gimadhi.”
3 And I took Jezonias the son of Jeremias the son of Habsanias, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.
Omiyo ne adhi mondo aom Jazania wuod Jeremia, ma wuod Habazinia gi owetene kod yawuote duto, anywola duto mag joka Rekab.
4 And I brought them into the house of the Lord, to the treasure house of the sons of Hanan, the son of Jegedelias the man of God, which was by the treasure house of the princes, above the treasure of Maasias the son of Sellum, who was keeper of the entry.
Ne akelogi e od Jehova Nyasaye, e agola mar yawuot Hanan wuod Igdalia ngʼat Nyasaye. Ne entiere machiegni gi agola mar jotelo, mane okalo mano mar Maseya wuod Shalum ma jarit dhood hekalu.
5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups: and I said to them: Drink ye wine.
Eka ne apango bakunde mopongʼ gi divai kod kikombe moko e nyim chwo mag anywola mag Rekab kendo awachonegi niya, “Madhuru divai.”
6 And they answered: We will not drink wine: because Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying: You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your children, for ever:
To negidwoko niya, “Ok wamadh divai, nikech kwarwa Jehonadab wuod Rekab nomiyowa chikni: ‘Un kata nyikwau ok onego madh divai.
7 Neither shall ye build houses, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyards, nor have any: but you shall dwell in tents all your days, that you may live many days upon the face of the earth, in which you are strangers.
Bende kik uger udi, kata komo kodhi kata pidho mzabibu; gigi ok onego ubed godo, to nyaka udag e hembe. Eka unudag kinde marabora e piny kama unie jokwath.’
8 Therefore we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all things that he commanded us: so as to drink no wine all our days: neither we, nor our wives, nor our sons, nor our daughters:
Waserito gik moko duto mane kwarwa Jehonadab wuod Rekab ochikowa. Wan kod mondewa kata yawuotwa gi nyiwa pod ok omadho divai,
9 Nor to build houses to dwell in, nor to have vineyard, or field, or seed:
kata gero udi mondo wadagie kata bedo gi puothe mzabibu, kod puothe mag cham.
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have been obedient according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Wasedak e hembe kendo waserito gimoro amora ma kwarwa Jehonadab nochikowa.
11 But when Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon came up to our land, we said: Come, let us go into Jerusalem from the face of the army of the Chaldeans, and from the face of the army of Syria: and we have remained in Jerusalem.
To Nebukadneza ruodh Babulon nomonjo pinyni, ne wawacho ni, ‘Biuru, nyaka wadhi Jerusalem wapondne jolweny mag Babulon kod mag jo-Aram kapok gimakowa.’ Omiyo ne wadongʼ Jerusalem.”
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ne Jeremia, kawacho niya:
13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Will you not receive instruction, to obey my words, saith the Lord?
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Dhiyo kendo inyis chwo ma Juda kod jo-Jerusalem ni, ‘Donge unyalo puonjoru kuom ma mi urit wechena?’ Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, by which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, have prevailed: and they have drunk none to this day, because they have obeyed the commandment of their father: but I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not obeyed me.
‘Jehonadab wuod Rekab nochiwo chik ne yawuote ni kik madh divai kendo chikni oseriti. Nyaka kawuononi pod ok gimadho divai, nikech girito chik kwargi. To asewuoyo kinde ka kinde, to kata kamano pod ok umiya luor.
15 And I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending and saying: Return ye every man from his wicked way, and make your ways good: and follow not strange gods, nor worship them, and you shall dwell in the land, which I gave you and your fathers: and you have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.
Pile ka pile ne aoro jotijena ma jonabi duto iru. Negiwacho niya, “Uduto nyaka uwe yoreu mamono kendo ulok timbeu; kik ulu bangʼ nyiseche manono mondo utinegi. Eka udag e piny ma asemiyou kod wuoneu.” To pod ok uchiko itu kata winja.
16 So the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have constantly kept the commandment of their father, which he commanded them: but this people hath not obeyed me.
Nyikwa Jehonadab wuod Rekab oserito chike mane kweregi omiyogi, to jogi pod ok omiya luor.’
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring upon Juda, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, and they have not heard: I have called to them, and they have not answered me.
“Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Winjuru! Anakel kuom Juda kod ji duto modak Jerusalem kit masira moro amora mahero. Ne awuoyo kodgi, to ne ok giwinja; ne aluongogi, to ne ok gidwoka.’”
18 And Jeremias said to the house of the Rechabites: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his precepts, and have done all that he commanded you:
Eka Jeremia nonyiso anywola mar joka Rekab niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Userito chik mar kwaru Jehonadab kendo useluwo puonjne duto kendo usetimo gik moko duto mane ochikou.’
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord of host the God of Israel: There shall not be wanting a man of the race of Jonadab the son of Rechab, standing before me for ever.
Emomiyo, ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: ‘Jehonadab wuod Rekab ok nobed maonge gi ngʼama tiyone.’”
