Jeremiah 35
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yhwh in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Pawòl ki te rive a Jérémie soti nan SENYÈ a nan jou a Jojakim yo, fis a Josias la, wa Juda a, te di:
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.
“Ale lakay Rekabit yo. Pale avèk yo e mennen yo antre lakay SENYÈ a, nan youn nan chanm yo, e bay yo diven pou yo bwè.”
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;
Konsa, mwen te pran Jaazania, fis a Jérémie an, fis a Habazinia a, frè li yo, tout fis li yo ak tout kay Rekabit yo,
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 God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
epi mwen te mennen yo lakay SENYÈ la, nan chanm a fis a Hanan yo, fis a Jigdalia a, nonm Bondye ki te toupre chanm ofisye yo, ki te anwo chanm Maaséja a, fis a Schallum nan, gadyen pòt la.
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.
Epi mwen te plase devan mesye lakay Rekabit yo, krich plen ak diven ak tas, epi mwen te di yo: “Bwè diven!”
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:
Men yo te di: “Nou p ap bwè diven, paske Jonadab, fis a Récab la, papa nou, te bannou lòd e te di: ‘Nou p ap bwè diven, ni nou menm, ni fis nou yo jis pou tout tan.
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.
Nou pa pou bati kay e nou pa pou simen semans, ni plante chan rezen, ni achte youn; men se nan tant nou dwe viv pandan tout jou nou yo, pou nou kapab viv anpil jou nan peyi kote nou demere a.’
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;
Nou te obeyi a vwa Jonadab, fis a Récab la, papa nou, nan tout sa li te kòmande nou, pou pa bwè diven pandan tout jou nou yo, nou menm, madanm nou, fis nou yo ak fi nou yo,
9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
ni bati pou nou menm kay pou nou ta viv ladann. Nou pa genyen chan rezen yo, ni chan kiltive, ni semans,
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
“Men se sèlman nan tant nou te rete yo. Nou te obeyi e te fè selon tout sa ke Jonadab, papa nou, te kòmande nou yo.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadnezzar 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.
Men lè Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te monte kont peyi a, nou te di: ‘Vini! Annou ale Jérusalem akoz lakrent lame Kaldeyen yo ak lakrent lame Siryen yo. Konsa, nou va rete Jérusalem.’”
12 Then came the word of Yhwh unto Jeremiah, saying,
Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Jérémie. Li te di:
13 Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God 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.
“Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Ale di a mesye Juda yo, e a sila k ap viv Jérusalem yo: “Èske nou p ap resevwa lenstriksyon pou koute pawòl Mwen yo?” deklare SENYÈ a.
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 ye hearkened not unto me.
“Pawòl a Jonadab, fis a Récab la, ke li te kòmande fis li yo pou pa bwè diven yo, byen obsève. Pou sa, yo pa bwè diven jis rive jou sa a, paske yo te obeyi lòd papa yo. Men Mwen te pale ak nou ankò e ankò, e nou pa t koute Mwen.
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 gods 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.
Anplis, Mwen te voye a nou menm tout sèvitè Mwen yo, pwofèt yo. Mwen te voye yo ankò e ankò e yo te di: ‘Vire koulye a chak moun kite move chemen li, korije zèv mechan nou yo, e pa kouri dèyè lòt dye yo pou adore yo. Konsa, nou va demere nan peyi ke M te ba a nou menm e a papa zansèt nou yo;’ men nou pa t enkline zòrèy nou, ni nou pa t koute Mwen.
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:
Anverite, fis a Jonadab yo, fis a Récab la te swiv lòd a papa yo ak sila li te kòmande yo, men pèp sa a pa t koute Mwen.”’
17 Therefore thus saith Yhwh God of Armies, the God 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.
“Akoz sa, pale SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen ap mennen sou Juda ak sou tout sila ki rete Jérusalem yo, tout dezas ke M te pwononse kont yo, akoz Mwen te pale ak yo, men yo pa t koute, e Mwen te rele yo, men yo pa t reponn.’”
18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God 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:
Epi Jérémie te di a lakay Rekabit yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Akoz nou te obeyi lòd a Jonadab, papa nou an, nou te swiv tout lòd li yo, e te fè tout sa ke li te kòmande nou;’
19 Therefore thus saith Yhwh of Armies, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
Pou sa, konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo, Bondye Israël la: ‘Jonadab, fis a Récab la, p ap manke yon nonm ki pou toujou kanpe devan M.’”
