Jeremiah 35
1 The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, in the dayes of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, saying,
Ko e folofola naʻe hoko meia Sihova kia Selemaia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē,
2 Go vnto the house of the Rechabites, and speake vnto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord into one of the chambers, and giue them wine to drinke.
“ʻAlu ki he fale ʻoe fānau ʻa Lekapi, pea lea kiate kinautolu, pea ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ki he potu ʻe taha ʻi ʻolunga, pea foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae uaine ke nau inu.”
3 Then tooke I Iaazaniah, the sonne of Ieremiah the sonne of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sonnes, and the whole house of the Rechabites,
Pea naʻaku toki ʻave ʻa Seasania ko e foha ʻo Selemaia, ko e foha ʻo Hapasinia, mo hono kāinga pea mo hono ngaahi foha kotoa pē, pea mo e fale kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa Lekapi;
4 And I brought them into the House of the Lord, into the chamber of the sonnes of Hanan, the sonne of Igdaliah a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was aboue the chamber of Maaseiah the sonne of Shallum, the keeper of the treasure.
Pea ne u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ki he potu fale ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Hanani, ko e foha ʻo ʻIkitalia, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku hoko mo e ngaahi potu fale ʻoe houʻeiki, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he potu ʻo Māseia ko e foha ʻo Salumi, ko e tauhi ʻoe matapā.
5 And I set before the sonnes of the house of the Rechabites, pots full of wine, and cuppes, and said vnto them, Drinke wine.
Pea u tuku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe fale ʻoe kau Lekapi ʻae ngaahi ipu kuo pito ʻi he uaine, pea mo e ngaahi ipu, pea naʻaku pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou inu uaine.”
6 But they said, We will drinke no wine: for Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our father commanded vs, saying, Ye shall drinke no wine, neither you nor your sonnes for euer.
Ka naʻa nau pehē mai, “ʻE ʻikai te mau inu uaine: he kuo fekau kiate kimautolu ʻe Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi ko ʻemau tamai, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua naʻa mou inu uaine, ʻakimoutolu, pe ko homou ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.
7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seede, nor plant vineyarde, nor haue any, but all your dayes ye shall dwell in tentes, that ye may liue a long time in the land where ye be strangers.
Pea ʻoua naʻa mou langa fale, pe tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga, pe tō ha ngoue vaine, pe maʻu ia: ka te mou nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻomou moʻui; koeʻuhi ke mou nofo ʻi he ʻaho lahi ʻi he fonua ʻoku mou ʻāunofo ai.’
8 Thus haue wee obeyed the voyce of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our father, in all that he hath charged vs, and wee drinke no wine all our dayes, neither wee, our wiues, our sonnes, nor our daughters.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻemau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi ko ʻemau tamai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fekau ai ʻakimautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa inu uaine ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻemau moʻui, ʻakimautolu, pe ko homau ngaahi uaifi, pe ko homau ngaahi foha, pe ko homau ngaahi ʻofefine;
9 Neither builde wee houses for vs to dwell in, neither haue we vineyard, nor fielde, nor seede,
Pea ke ʻoua naʻa mau langa ʻae ngaahi fale ke nofo ai: pea ʻoua naʻa mau maʻu ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, pe ha ngoue, pe ha tenga ke tō:
10 But we haue remained in tentes, and haue obeyed, and done according to all that Ionadab our father commanded vs.
Ka kuo mau nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, pea talangofua, pea fai ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo fekau kiate kimautolu ʻe Sonatapi ko ʻemau tamai.
11 But when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came vp into the land, we said, Come, and let vs go to Ierusalem, from the hoste of the Caldeans, and from the host of Aram: so we dwel at Ierusalem.
Ka naʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ʻi he haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki he fonua, naʻa mau pehē, ‘Haʻu ke tau ʻo ki Selūsalema koeʻuhi ko e manavahē ki he kau tau ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea ko e manavahē ki he kau tau ʻoe kakai Silia: pea ko ia ʻoku mau nofo ai ni ʻi Selūsalema.’”
12 Then came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah, saying,
Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,
13 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Goe, and tell the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, Will ye not receiue doctrine to obey my wordes, saith the Lord?
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻAlu ʻo tala ki he kau tangata ʻo Siuta mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, “ʻE ʻikai te mou maʻu ʻae akonaki ke fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea?” ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova.
14 The commandement of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab that hee commanded his sonnes, that they should drinke no wine, is surely kept: for vnto this day they drinke none, but obey their fathers commandement: notwithstanding I haue spoken vnto you, rising earely, and speaking, but ye would not obey me.
“Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki hono ngaahi foha ke ʻoua naʻa nau inu uaine, kuo fakamoʻoni: ʻoku teʻeki te nau inu ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ka ʻoku nau talangofua ki he fekau ʻa ʻenau tamai: ka kuo u folofola kiate kimoutolu, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo lea; ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga kiate au.
15 I haue sent also vnto you all my seruants the Prophetes, rising vp earely, and sending, them, saying, Returne nowe euery man from his euill way, and amende your workes, and goe not after other gods to serue them, and ye shall dwel in the lande which I haue giuen vnto you, and to your fathers, but ye would not encline your eare, nor obey mee.
Pea kuo u fekau foki kiate kimoutolu, ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita kotoa pē ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, ‘Mou tafoki ʻae tangata taki taha mei hono hala kovi, pea fakalelei hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, pea ʻoua naʻa mou muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ke tauhi ʻakinautolu, pea te mou nofo ʻi he fonua ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fakafanongo homou telinga, pe tokanga kiate au,
16 Surely the sonnes of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab, haue kept the commandement of their father, which he gaue them, but this people hath not obeyed me.
Koeʻuhi kuo fai ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻo Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi ʻae fekau ʻa ʻenau tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu; ka ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ʻae kakai ni kiate au:’”
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon Iudah, and vpon all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, all the euill that I haue pronounced against them, because I haue spoke vnto them, but they would not heare, and I haue called vnto them, but they would not answere.
“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u ʻomi ki Siuta mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema ʻae kovi kotoa pē kuo u lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi naʻaku lea kiate kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo; pea kuo u ui kiate kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tali.”
18 And Ieremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Because ye haue obeyed the commandement of Ionadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according vnto all that hee hath commanded you,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Selemaia ki he fale ʻoe kau Lekapi, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Koeʻuhi kuo mou talangofua ki he fekau ʻa Sonatapi ko hoʻomou tamai, pea tauhi ki heʻene tala kotoa pē, pea fai ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu:’
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Ionadab the sonne of Rechab shall not want a man, to stand before me for euer.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻE ʻikai masiva ʻa Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi ʻi ha tangata ke tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo taʻengata.’”
