Jeremiah 35

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from YHWH in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino in diebus Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, dicens:

2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of YHWH, into one of the chambers, and give 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 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

Et assumpsi Iezoniam filium Ieremiæ filii Habsaniæ, et fratres eius, et omnes filios eius, et universam domum Rechabitarum:

4 And I brought them into the house of YHWH, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of Elohim, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

Et introduxi eos in domum Domini ad gazophylacium filiorum Hanan, filii Iegedeliæ hominis Dei, quod erat iuxta gazophylacium principum, super thesaurum Maasiæ filii Sellum, qui erat custos vestibuli.

5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.

Et posui coram filiis domus Rechabitarum scyphos plenos vino, et calices: et dixi ad eos: Bibite vinum.

6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:

Qui responderunt: Non bibemus vinum: quia Ionadab filius Rechab, pater noster, præcepit nobis, dicens: Non bibetis vinum, vos et filii vestri usque in sempiternum:

7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.

Et domum non ædificabitis, et sementem non seretis, et vineas non plantabitis, nec habebitis: sed in tabernaculis habitabitis cunctis diebus vestris, ut vivatis diebus multis super faciem terræ, in qua vos peregrinamini.

8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

Obedivimus ergo voci Ionadab filii Rechab, patris nostri, in omnibus, quæ præcepit nobis, ita ut non biberemus vinum cunctis diebus nostris nos, et mulieres nostræ, filii, et filiæ nostræ:

9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

et non ædificaremus domos ad habitandum: et vineam, et agrum, et sementem non habuimus:

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

sed habitavimus in tabernaculis, et obedientes fuimus iuxta omnia, quæ præcepit nobis Ionadab pater noster.

11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.

Cum autem ascendisset Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad terram nostram, diximus: Venite, et ingrediamur Ierusalem a facie exercitus Chaldæorum, et a facie exercitus Syriæ: et mansimus in Ierusalem.

12 Then came the word of YHWH unto Jeremiah, saying,

Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:

13 Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith YHWH.

Hæc 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 words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but he hearkened not unto me.

Prævaluerunt sermones Ionadab filii Rechab, quos præcepit filiis suis ut non biberent vinum: et non biberunt usque ad diem hanc, quia obedierunt præcepto patris sui: ego autem locutus sum ad vos, de mane consurgens et loquens, et non obedistis mihi.

15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other elohim to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto 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 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:

Firmaverunt igitur filii Ionadab filii Rechab præceptum patris sui, quod præceperat eis: populus autem iste non obedivit mihi.

17 Therefore thus saith YHWH Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.

Idcirco hæc 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 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:

Domui autem Rechabitarum dixit Ieremias: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Pro eo quod obedistis præcepto Ionadab patris vestri, et custodistis omnia mandata eius, et fecistis universa, quæ præcepit vobis:

19 Therefore thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.

Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Non deficiet vir de stirpe Ionadab filii Rechab, stans in conspectu meo cunctis diebus.
