Jeremiah 35

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

verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino in diebus Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda dicens

2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, 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 adsumpsi Iezoniam filium Hieremiae filii Absaniae et fratres eius et omnes filios eius et universam domum Rechabitarum

4 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, 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:

et introduxi eos in domum Domini ad gazofilacium filiorum Anan filii Hiegedeliae hominis Dei quod erat iuxta gazofilacium principum super thesaurum Maasiae 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 praecepit 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 aedificabitis et sementem non seretis et vineas non plantabitis nec habebitis sed in tabernaculis habitabitis cunctis diebus vestris ut vivatis diebus multis super faciem terrae 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;

oboedivimus ergo voci Ionadab filii Rechab patris nostri in omnibus quae praecepit nobis ita ut non biberemus vinum cunctis diebus nostris nos et mulieres nostrae filii et filiae nostrae

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

et non aedificaremus 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 oboedientes fecimus iuxta omnia quae praecepit 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 Hierusalem a facie exercitus Chaldeorum et a facie exercitus Syriae et mansimus in Hierusalem

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

et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam dicens

13 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, 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 the LORD.

haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel vade et dic viris Iuda et habitatoribus Hierusalem numquid non recipietis disciplinam ut oboediatis 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 ye hearkened not unto me.

praevaluerunt sermones Ionadab filii Rechab quos praecepit filiis suis ut non biberent vinum et non biberunt usque ad diem hanc quia oboedierunt praecepto patris sui ego autem locutus sum ad vos de mane consurgens et loquens et non oboedistis 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 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.

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 praeceptum patris sui quod praeceperat eis populus autem iste non oboedivit mihi

17 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, 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.

idcirco haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego adduco super Iudam et super omnes habitatores Hierusalem universam adflictionem quam locutus sum adversum eos 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 the LORD of hosts, 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:

domui autem Rechabitarum dixit Hieremias haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel pro eo quod oboedistis praecepto Ionadab patris vestri et custodistis omnia mandata eius et fecistis universa quae praecepit vobis

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

propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel non deficiet vir de stirpe Ionadab filii Rechab stans in conspectu meo cunctis diebus
