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:
Detta är det ord, som af Herranom skedde till Jeremia, i Jojakims, Josia sons, Juda Konungs, tid, och sade:
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.
Gack bort uti de Rechabiters hus, och tala med dem, och haf dem in uti Herrans hus uti en kammar, och skänk dem vin.
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.
Då tog jag Jaasanja, Jeremia son, Habazinia sons, samt med hans bröder, och alla hans söner, och hela de Rechabiters hus;
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.
Och hade dem in uti Herrans hus, uti Hanans barnas, Jigdalja sons, den Guds mansens, kammar, hvilken vid Förstarnas kammar är, ofvanför Maaseja, Sallums sons, dörravaktarens kammar.
5 I placed some jugs full of wine and some cups before the Rechabites and told them, “Have some wine to drink.”
Och jag satte de Rechabiters hus barnom kannor före, fulla med vin, och skålar, och sade till dem: Dricker vin.
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.
Men de svarade: Vi dricke intet vin; ty vår fader Jonadab, Rechabs son, hafver budit oss, och sagt: I och edor barn skolen aldrig något vin dricka;
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.’
Och intet hus bygga, ingen säd så, ingen vingård plantera, eller hafva; utan skolen bo i tjäll i alla edra lifsdagar; på det I mågen länge lefva i landena, der I uti vandren.
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.
Alltså lydom vi vår faders röst, Jonadabs, Rechabs sons, i allt det han oss budit hafver, så att vi intet vin dricke i våra lifsdagar, hvarken vi eller våra hustrur, eller söner, eller döttrar;
9 We haven't built houses to live in, and we haven't had any vineyards or fields or grown any crops.
Och byggom ej heller någor hus, der vi uti bo, och hafvom hvarken vingårdar, eller åkrar, eller säd;
10 We've lived in tents and have obeyed our forefather Jonadab, following everything he ordered us to do.
Utan bom uti tjäll, och lydom, och görom all ting, såsom vår fader Jonadab oss budit hafver.
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.”
Men då NebuchadNezar, Konungen i Babel, drog hitupp i landet, sade vi: Kommer, låter oss draga till Jerusalem, för de Chaldeers och Syrers här; och så hafve vi sedan blifvit här i Jerusalem.
12 Then a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
Då skedde Herrans ord till Jeremia, och sade:
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.
Detta säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Gack bort, och säg till dem i Juda, och till de inbyggare i Jerusalem: Viljen I då icke bättra eder, så att I lyden min ord? säger Herren.
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!
Jonadabs ord, Rechabs sons, som han sinom barnom budit hafver, att de intet vin dricka skulle, de varda hållen, så att de dricka intet vin intill denna dag, derföre att de lyda deras faders bud; men jag hafver tidigt låtit predika eder, likväl hören I mig intet.
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.
Så hafver jag ock tidigt sändt till eder alla mina tjenare Propheterna, och låtit säga: Vänder eder om, hvar och en ifrå sitt onda väsende, och bättrer edart lefverne, och efterföljer icke andra gudar, till att tjena dem, så skolen I blifva i landena, som jag eder och edra fäder gifvit hafver; men I villen icke böja edor öron dertill, eller höra mig;
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.
Ändock Jonadabs barn, Rechabs sons, sins faders bud hållit hafva, som han dem budit hafver; men detta, folket hörer mig Intet.
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.
Derföre så säger Herren Gud Zebaoth, och Israels Gud: Si, jag skall låta komma öfver Juda, och alla Jerusalems inbyggare, all den olycko, som jag emot dem talat hafver; derföre, att jag hafver talat till dem, och de ville intet höra; jag hafver ropat, men de ville intet svara mig.
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,
Och till de Rechabiters hus sade Jeremia: Detta säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud; derföre att I edars faders Jonadabs bud lydt hafven, och hållit all hans bud, och allt det gjort, som han eder budit hafver;
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.
Derföre säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud, alltså: Det skall aldrig fela Jonadab, Rechabs sone, att ju någor af hans säd alltid för mig stå skall.
