Jeremiah 35
1 This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord during the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino in diebus Ioakim filii Iosiae regis Iuda, dicens:
2 Go to where the Rechabites live. Invite them to come with you to one of the rooms in the Lord's Temple and offer them wine to drink.
Vade ad domum Rechabitarum: et loquere eis, et introduces eos in domum Domini in unam exedram thesaurorum, et dabis eis bibere vinum.
3 So I went to visit Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the whole Rechabite family.
Et assumpsi Iezoniam filium Ieremiae filii Habsaniae, et fratres eius, et omnes filios eius, et universam domum Rechabitarum:
4 Then I took them into the Lord's Temple, to a room used by the sons of Hanan, son of Igdaliah, a man of God. It was next to the one used by the officials, which was above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, who was the Temple doorkeeper.
Et introduxi eos in domum Domini ad gazophylacium filiorum Hanan, filii Iegedeliae hominis Dei, quod erat iuxta gazophylacium principum, super thesaurum Maasiae filii Sellum, qui erat custos vestibuli.
5 I placed some jugs full of wine and some cups before the Rechabites and told them, “Have some wine to drink.”
Et posui coram filiis domus Rechabitarum scyphos plenos vino, et calices: et dixi ad eos: Bibite vinum.
6 “We don't drink wine,” they said, “because our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab gave us these orders: ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine.
Qui responderunt: Non bibemus vinum: quia Ionadab filius Rechab, pater noster, praecepit nobis, dicens: Non bibetis vinum, vos et filii vestri usque in sempiternum:
7 Don't ever build houses or sow crops or plant vineyards. You're not to do this. Instead, you are to always live in tents so that you may have long lives as you move from place to place in the country.’
Et domum non aedificabitis, et sementem non seretis, et vineas non plantabitis, nec habebitis: sed in tabernaculis habitabitis cunctis diebus vestris, ut vivatis diebus multis super faciem terrae, in qua vos peregrinamini.
8 We have done exactly what our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab told us. None of us have ever drunk wine, and that includes our wives and our sons and daughters as well as us.
Obedivimus ergo voci Ionadab filii Rechab, patris nostri, in omnibus, quae praecepit nobis, ita ut non biberemus vinum cunctis diebus nostris nos, et mulieres nostrae, filii, et filiae nostrae:
9 We haven't built houses to live in, and we haven't had any vineyards or fields or grown any crops.
et non aedificaremus domos ad habitandum: et vineam, et agrum, et sementem non habuimus:
10 We've lived in tents and have obeyed our forefather Jonadab, following everything he ordered us to do.
sed habitavimus in tabernaculis, et obedientes fuimus iuxta omnia, quae praecepit nobis Ionadab pater noster.
11 So when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the country we decided, ‘Come on, let's go into Jerusalem to be safe from the armies of the Chaldeans, Babylonians, and Arameans.’ That's why we've stayed in Jerusalem.”
Cum autem ascendisset Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad terram nostram, diximus: Venite, et ingrediamur Ierusalem a facie exercitus Chaldaeorum, et a facie exercitus Syriae: et mansimus in Ierusalem.
12 Then a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
13 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem: Why don't you accept my instructions and obey what I tell you? the Lord asks.
Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Vade, et dic viris Iuda, et habitatoribus Ierusalem: Numquid non recipietis disciplinam ut obediatis verbis meis, dicit Dominus?
14 The instructions of Jonadab son of Rechab have been followed. He ordered his descendants not to drink wine, and they have not drunk it to this day because they have obeyed their forefather's command. But I have told you what to do time and again, and yet you refuse to obey me!
Praevaluerunt sermones Ionadab filii Rechab, quos praecepit filiis suis ut non biberent vinum: et non biberunt usque ad diem hanc, quia obedierunt praecepto patris sui: ego autem locutus sum ad vos, de mane consurgens et loquens, et non obedistis mihi.
15 Time and again I've sent you so many of my servants the prophets to tell you: Everyone, stop your evil ways and do what's right! Don't go following other gods and worshiping them. Live in the land that I gave you and your fathers. But you haven't paid attention or obeyed me.
Misique ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque et dicens: Convertimini unusquisque a via sua pessima, et bona facite studia vestra: et nolite sequi deos alienos, neque colatis eos: et habitabitis in terra, quam dedi vobis et patribus vestris: et non inclinastis aurem vestram, neque audistis me.
16 These descendants of Jonadab son of Rechab have followed the command given to them by their forefather, but these people haven't obeyed me.
Firmaverunt igitur filii Ionadab filii Rechab praeceptum patris sui, quod praeceperat eis: populus autem iste non obedivit mihi.
17 So this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch as I bring down on Judah and on all the people living in Jerusalem all the disasters I have threatened to do to them, because I have told them what to do but they haven't obeyed; I have appealed to them but they haven't responded.
Idcirco haec dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Ecce ego adducam super Iuda, et super omnes habitatores Ierusalem universam afflictionem, quam locutus sum adversum illos, eo quod locutus sum ad illos, et non audierunt: vocavi illos, et non responderunt mihi.
18 Then Jeremiah told the Rechabites: This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Because you have obeyed your forefather Jonadab's instructions and have followed his orders and have done everything he told you to do,
Domui autem Rechabitarum dixit Ieremias: Haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Pro eo quod obedistis praecepto Ionadab patris vestri, et custodistis omnia mandata eius, et fecistis universa, quae praecepit vobis:
19 this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Jonadab son of Rechab will always have someone who will be in my presence serving me.
Propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Non deficiet vir de stirpe Ionadab filii Rechab, stans in conspectu meo cunctis diebus.
