< 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:
A palavra que do Senhor veiu a Jeremias, nos dias de Joaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judah, dizendo:
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.
Vae á casa dos rechabitas, e falla com elles, e leva-os á casa do Senhor, a uma das camaras e dá-lhes vinho a beber.
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.
Então tomei a Jasanias, filho de Jeremias, filho de Habazinias, e a seus irmãos, e a todos os seus filhos, e a toda a casa dos rechabitas;
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.
E os levei á casa do Senhor, á camara dos filhos de Hanan, filho de Jigdalias, homem de Deus, que está junto á camara dos principes, que está sobre a camara de Maaseias, filho de Sallum, guarda do vestibulo:
5 I placed some jugs full of wine and some cups before the Rechabites and told them, “Have some wine to drink.”
E puz diante dos filhos da casa dos rechabitas taças cheias de vinho, e copos, e disse-lhes: Bebei vinho.
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.
Porém elles disseram: Não beberemos vinho; porque Jonadab, filho de Rechab, nosso pae, nos mandou, dizendo: Não bebereis vinho, nem vós nem vossos filhos perpetuamente;
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.’
Nem edificareis casa, nem semeareis semente, nem plantareis vinha, nem a possuireis; mas habitareis em tenda todos os vossos dias, para que vivaes muitos dias sobre a face da terra, em que vós andaes peregrinando.
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.
Obedecemos pois á voz de Jonadab, filho de Rechab, nosso pae, em tudo quanto nos ordenou; de maneira que não bebemos vinho em todos os nossos dias, nem nós, nem nossas mulheres, nem nossos filhos, nem nossas filhas,
9 We haven't built houses to live in, and we haven't had any vineyards or fields or grown any crops.
Nem edificamos casas para nossa habitação: nem temos vinha, nem campo, nem semente.
10 We've lived in tents and have obeyed our forefather Jonadab, following everything he ordered us to do.
E habitamos em tendas, e assim ouvimos e fizemos conforme tudo quanto nos mandou Jonadab, nosso pae.
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.”
Succedeu, porém, que, subindo Nabucodonozor, rei de Babylonia, a esta terra, dissemos: Vinde, e vamo-nos a Jerusalem, por causa do exercito dos chaldeos, e por causa do exercito dos syros; e assim ficámos em Jerusalem.
12 Then a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
Então veiu a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, dizendo:
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.
Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus de Israel: Vae, e dize aos homens de Judah e aos moradores de Jerusalem: Porventura nunca acceitareis ensino, para ouvirdes as minhas palavras? diz o Senhor.
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!
As palavras de Jonadab, filho de Rechab, que ordenou a seus filhos que não bebessem vinho, foram guardadas; pois não beberam até este dia, antes ouviram o mandamento de seu pae, e eu vos tenho fallado a vós, madrugando e fallando, porém vós não me ouvistes a mim.
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.
E vos enviei a todos os meus servos, os prophetas, madrugando, e enviando, e dizendo: Convertei-vos agora, cada um do seu mau caminho, e fazei boas as vossas acções, e não sigaes a outros deuses para servil-os; e assim ficareis na terra que vos dei a vós e a vossos paes; porém não inclinastes o vosso ouvido, nem me obedecestes a mim
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.
Porquanto os filhos de Jonadab, filho de Rechab, guardaram o mandamento de seu pae que lhes ordenou; e este povo não me obedeceu:
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.
Por isso assim diz o Senhor, o Deus dos Exercitos, o Deus de Israel: Eis que trarei sobre Judah, e sobre todos os moradores de Jerusalem, todo o mal que fallei contra elles; porquanto lhes tenho fallado, e não ouviram; e clamei a elles, e não responderam.
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,
E á casa dos rechabitas disse Jeremias: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, o Deus de Israel: Porquanto obedecestes ao mandamento de Jonadab, vosso pae, e guardastes todos os seus mandamentos, e fizestes conforme tudo quanto vos ordenou,
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.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, Deus d'Israel: Nunca faltará varão a Jonadab, filho de Rechab, que assista perante a minha face todos os dias.
