< 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:
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: 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Ary norosoako kapoaka sy siny feno divay teo anoloan’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba ka nolazaiko taminy hoe: Misotroa divay ianareo.
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:
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 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.
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 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:
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 to build houses to dwell in, nor to have vineyard, or field, or seed:
ary tsy hanao trano hitoeranay, na hanana tanimboly, na saha, na voan-javatra izahay;
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have been obedient according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
fa efa nitoetra an-day izahay araka izay rehetra nanafaran’ i Jonadaba razanay anay.
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.
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 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
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 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.
dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, tsy ho diso zanakalahy hitsangana eo anatrehako mandrakizay.
