Jeremiah 35
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah saying:
Firman yang datang dari TUHAN kepada Yeremia di zaman Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, bunyinya:
2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Yahweh, into one of the chambers, —and give them, wine, to drink.
"Pergilah kepada kaum orang Rekhab, bicaralah dengan mereka dan bawalah mereka ke rumah TUHAN, ke dalam salah satu kamar, kemudian berilah mereka minum anggur!"
3 So I took Jaazaniah, son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, —and all the house of the Rechabites;
Maka aku menjemput Yaazanya bin Yeremia bin Habazinya beserta saudara-saudaranya dan semua anaknya, pendeknya segenap kaum orang Rekhab.
4 and brought them into the house of Yahweh, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, —which was beside the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum keeper of the porch;
Aku membawa mereka ke rumah TUHAN, ke dalam kamar anak-anak Hanan bin Yigdalya, abdi Allah; itulah kamar yang di sebelah kamar para pembesar, di atas kamar Maaseya bin Salum, penjaga pintu.
5 and I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, —and said unto them Drink ye wine.
Di depan anggota-anggota kaum orang Rekhab itu aku meletakkan piala-piala penuh anggur dan cawan-cawan, lalu aku berkata kepada mereka: "Silakan minum anggur!"
6 Then said they, —We will not drink wine, —for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, laid command upon us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, ye, nor your sons, unto times age-abiding;
Tetapi mereka menjawab: "Kami tidak minum anggur, sebab Yonadab bin Rekhab, bapa leluhur kami, telah memberi perintah kepada kami, katanya: Janganlah kamu atau anak-anakmupun minum anggur sampai selama-lamanya;
7 nor house, shall ye build nor, seed, shall ye sow, nor vineyard, shall ye plant, neither shall ye have them, —but in tents, shall ye dwell, all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the soil where ye are sojourning.
janganlah kamu mendirikan rumah, janganlah kamu menabur benih; janganlah kamu membuat atau mempunyai kebun anggur, melainkan haruslah kamu diam di kemah-kemah selama hidupmu, supaya lama kamu hidup di tanah, di mana kamu tinggal sebagai orang asing!
8 So we have hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab, son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, —not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons nor our daughters;
Kami mentaati suara Yonadab bin Rekhab, bapa leluhur kami dalam segala apa yang diperintahkannya kepada kami, agar kami tidak minum anggur selama hidup kami, yakni kami sendiri, isteri kami, anak-anak lelaki dan anak-anak perempuan kami;
9 and not to build houses for us to dwell in, —and so, vineyard or field or seed, have we none;
agar kami tidak mendirikan rumah-rumah untuk kami diami, tidak mempunyai kebun anggur atau ladang serta benih,
10 but we have dwelt in tents, —and have hearkened and done, according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
melainkan kami diam di kemah-kemah dan taat melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan kepada kami oleh Yonadab, bapa leluhur kami.
11 And so it came to pass when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, —Let us even enter, Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans and because of the force of the Syrians: So have we dwelt in Jerusalem.
Tetapi ketika Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, bergerak maju melawan negeri ini, maka kami berkata: Marilah kita mengungsi ke Yerusalem, karena tentara orang Kasdim dan tentara orang Aram itu! Demikianlah kami diam di Yerusalem."
12 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, saying:
Pada waktu itu datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
13 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —Will ye not receive correction by hearkening unto my words? Demandeth Yahweh:
"Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Pergilah dan katakanlah kepada orang Yehuda dan kepada penduduk Yerusalem: Tidakkah kamu mau menerima penghajaran, yaitu mendengarkan perkataan-perkataan-
14 Confirmed are the words of Jonadab son of Rechab—which he commanded his sons that they should not drink, wine, and they have not drunk until this day, for they have hearkened unto the command of their father, But, I, have spoken unto you, betimes, speaking, and ye have not hearkened, unto me.
Memang perintah Yonadab bin Rekhab itu masih ditepati; ia telah memerintahkan kepada keturunannya, supaya mereka jangan minum anggur, dan sampai sekarang ini mereka tidak meminumnya, sebab mereka mendengarkan perintah bapa leluhur mereka. Aku sendiri telah berbicara kepada kamu, terus-menerus, tetapi kamu tidak mendengarkan Aku.
15 And I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes, sending, saying, Return I pray you—every man from his wicked way, And amend your doings, And do not go after other gods to serve them, So shall ye remain on the soil which I gave to you, and to your fathers, —but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened, unto me.
Aku telah mengutus kepadamu segala hamba-Ku, yakni para nabi, terus-menerus, mengatakan: Kembalilah kamu masing-masing dari tingkah langkahmu yang jahat itu, perbaikilah perbuatanmu, janganlah mengikuti allah lain untuk beribadah kepada mereka, maka kamu akan tetap diam di tanah yang telah Kuberikan kepadamu dan kepada nenek moyangmu. Tetapi kamu tidak mau memperhatikannya dan kamu tidak mau mendengarkan Aku.
16 Because the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab have, confirmed, the commandment of their father which he commanded them, —whereas, this people, have not hearkened unto me,
Sungguh, keturunan Yonadab bin Rekhab menepati perintah yang diberikan bapa leluhurnya kepada mereka, tetapi bangsa ini tidak mau mendengarkan Aku!
17 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the calamity, which I have spoken concerning them, —Because I spake unto them and they did not hearken, And I called to them and they did not answer.
Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, Allah Israel: Sesungguhnya, Aku mendatangkan kepada Yehuda dan kepada segenap penduduk Yerusalem segala malapetaka yang Kuancamkan atas mereka; karena Aku telah berbicara kepada mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengarkan, dan Aku telah berseru kepada mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mau menjawab."
18 But to the house of the Rechabites, said Jeremiah: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Because ye have hearkened unto the commandment of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and done according to all that he commanded you
Tetapi berkatalah Yeremia kepada kaum orang Rekhab: "Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Oleh karena kamu telah mendengarkan perintah Yonadab, bapa leluhurmu, telah berpegang pada segala perintahnya dan telah melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkannya kepadamu,
19 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —Jonadab son of Rechab shall not want one to stand before me, all the days!
maka beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Keturunan Yonadab bin Rekhab takkan terputus melayani Aku sepanjang masa."
