Jeremiah 35
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Verbum quod factum est ad Jeremiam a Domino in diebus Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda, dicens:
2 “Go to the house of the Rechabites, and you have spoken with them, and brought them into the house of YHWH, to one of the chambers, and caused them to drink wine.”
Vade ad domum Rechabitarum, et loquere eis, et introduces eos in domum Domini, in unam exedram thesaurorum, et dabis eis bibere vinum.
3 And I take Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and all the house of the Rechabites,
Et assumpsi Jezoniam filium Jeremiæ filii Habsaniæ, et fratres ejus, et omnes filios ejus, et universam domum Rechabitarum,
4 and bring them into the house of YHWH, to the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, that [is] near to the chamber of the princes, that [is] above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum, keeper of the threshold;
et introduxi eos in domum Domini, ad gazophylacium filiorum Hanan filii Jegedeliæ hominis Dei, quod erat juxta gazophylacium principum, super thesaurum Maasiæ filii Sellum, qui erat custos vestibuli:
5 and I put before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups, and I say to them, “Drink wine.”
et posui coram filiis domus Rechabitarum scyphos plenos vino, et calices, et dixi ad eos: Bibite vinum.
6 And they say, “We do not drink wine: for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, charged us, saying, You do not drink wine, you and your sons—for all time;
Qui responderunt Non bibemus vinum, quia Jonadab filius Rechab, pater noster, præcepit nobis, dicens: Non bibetis vinum, vos et filii vestri, usque in sempiternum:
7 and you do not build a house, and you do not sow seed, and you do not plant a vineyard, nor have of [these]; for you dwell in tents all your days, that you may live many days on the face of the ground to where you are sojourning.
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 And we listen to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, to all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;
Obedivimus ergo voci Jonadab 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 to dwell in; and we have no vineyard, and field, and seed;
et non ædificaremus domos ad habitandum: et vineam, et agrum, et sementem non habuimus:
10 and we dwell in tents, and we listen, and we do according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us;
sed habitavimus in tabernaculis, et obedientes fuimus juxta omnia quæ præcepit nobis Jonadab pater noster.
11 and it comes to pass, in the coming up of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to the land, that we say, Come, and we enter Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans, and because of the force of Aram—and we dwell in Jerusalem.”
Cum autem ascendisset Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad terram nostram, diximus: Venite, et ingrediamur Jerusalem a facie exercitus Chaldæorum, et a facie exercitus Syriæ: et mansimus in Jerusalem.
12 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam, dicens:
13 Go, and you have said to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Do you not receive instruction to listen to My words? A declaration of YHWH.
Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Vade, et dic viris Juda et habitatoribus Jerusalem: Numquid non recipietis disciplinam, ut obediatis verbis meis? dicit Dominus.
14 The words of Jonadab son of Rechab, when he commanded his sons not to drink wine, have stood, and they have not drunk to this day, for they have obeyed the command of their father; and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened to Me.
Prævaluerunt sermones Jonadab 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 And I send all My servants the prophets to you, rising early and sending, saying, Please turn back, each from his evil way, and amend your doings, indeed, you do not walk after other gods, to serve them; and dwell on the ground that I have given to you and to your fathers; and you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to 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 son of Rechab have stood by the command of their father that he commanded them, and this people have not listened to Me,
Firmaverunt igitur filii Jonadab filii Rechab præceptum patris sui quod præceperat eis: populus autem iste non obedivit mihi.
17 therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing to Judah, and to all inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the calamity that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken to them, and they have not listened, indeed, I call to them, and they have not answered.”
Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Ecce ego adducam super Juda et super omnes habitatores Jerusalem 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 to the house of the Rechabites: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Because that you have listened to the command of your father Jonadab, and you observe all his commands, and do according to all that he commanded you;
Domui autem Rechabitarum dixit Jeremias: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Pro eo quod obedistis præcepto Jonadab patris vestri, et custodistis omnia mandata ejus, et fecistis universa quæ præcepit vobis,
19 therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: A man of Jonadab son of Rechab is not cut off [from] standing before Me all the days.”
propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël: Non deficiet vir de stirpe Jonadab filii Rechab, stans in conspectu meo cunctis diebus.
