Jeremiah 35
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah saying:
Ko te kupu i puta mai ki a Heremaia na Ihowa, i nga ra o Iehoiakimi tama a Hohia kingi o Hura; i mea ia,
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.
Haere ki te whare o nga Rekapi, korero atu ki a ratou, ka kawe i a ratou ki te whare o Ihowa, ki tetahi o nga ruma, ka whakainu i a ratou ki te waina.
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;
Na ka tikina e ahau a Iaatania tama a Heremaia, tama a Hapatinia, ratou ko ona teina, ko ana tama katoa, ko te whare katoa hoki o nga Rekapi;
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;
A kawea ana ratou e ahau ki te whare o Ihowa, ki te ruma o nga tama a Hanana tama a Ikiraria, he tangata na te Atua, ki tera i te taha o te ruma o nga rangatira, i runga ake i te ruma o te kaitiaki tatau, o Maaheia tama a Harumu:
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.
A whakaturia ana e ahau etahi oko, ki tonu i te waina, me etahi kapu ki te aroaro o nga tama o te whare o nga Rekapi. Na ka mea atu ahau ki a ratou, Inumia e koutou he waina.
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;
Ano ra ko ratou, E kore matou e inu waina; i ako hoki to matou papa, a Ionarapa, tama a Rekapa, ki a matou, i mea, Kei inu waina koutou ko a koutou tamariki a ake ake:
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.
Kaua hoki koutou e hanga whare, e whakato purapura, e whakato mara waina ranei, kaua hoki he pena ma koutou; engari, i o koutou ra katoa, me noho teneti; kia maha ai nga ra e ora ai koutou ki te mata o te oneone e noho manene nei koutou.
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;
Na rongo tonu matou ki te reo o to matou papa, o Ionarapa tama a Rekapa, ki nga mea katoa i whakahau ai ia ki a matou, kia kaua e inu waina i o matou ra katoa, matou, a matou wahine, a matou tama, a matou tamahine;
9 and not to build houses for us to dwell in, —and so, vineyard or field or seed, have we none;
Kia kaua ano e hanga whare hei nohoanga mo matou: kahore hoki a matou mara waina, mara ke ranei, purapura ranei;
10 but we have dwelt in tents, —and have hearkened and done, according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Engari ko o matou nohoanga he teneti, rongo tonu matou, mahi tonu i nga mea katoa i whakahaua e to matou papa, e Ionarapa, ki a matou.
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.
Otiia, i te whakaekenga a Nepukareha kingi o Papurona i te whenua, ka mea matou, Haere mai, haere tatou ki Hiruharama, kei mate i te ope a nga Karari, i te ope hoki a nga Hiriani; na noho ana matou i Hiruharama.
12 Then came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, saying:
Katahi ka puta mai te kupu a Ihowa ki a Heremaia; ka mea ia,
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:
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; Haere, mea atu ki nga tangata o Hura, ki te hunga hoki e noho ana i Hiruharama, E kore ianei koutou e manako ki te ako, e rongo ki aku kupu? e ai ta Ihowa.
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.
Kua tutuki nga kupu a Ionarapa tama a Rekapa i whakahau ai ia ki ana tamariki kia kaua e inu waina; kihai hoki ratou i inu a taea noatia tenei ra, no te mea e whakarongo ana ratou ki te ako a to ratou papa: ko ahau ia, i korero ahau ki a koutou, moata ai i te ata ka korero; heoi kihai koutou i rongo ki ahau.
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.
I unga atu ano e ahau aku pononga katoa, nga poropiti, maranga wawe ana ahau, unga ana i a ratou, ki a koutou, me te ki atu, Tahuri mai koutou, e tera, e tera o koutou i o koutou ara kino, ka whakapai i a koutou mahi, kaua hoki e whai ki nga atu a ke, kaua e mahi ki a ratou, a ka noho koutou ki te whenua i hoatu e ahau ki a koutou ko o koutou matua: heoi kihai i anga mai o koutou taringa, kihai hoki i rongo ki ahau.
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,
Na, kua whakamana nei e nga tama a Ionarapa tama a Rekapa te ako a to ratou papa i ako ai ia ki a ratou, engari ko tenei iwi, kihai i rongo ki ahau:
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.
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; Nana, ka kawea mai e ahau ki a Hura, ki nga tangata katoa hoki o Hiruharama, nga kino katoa i korerotia e ahau mo ratou: no te mea i korero ahau ki a ratou, a kihai i rongo; i karanga ahau ki a ratou, a kihai ratou i whakahoki kupu mai.
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
Na ka mea a Heremaia ki te whare o nga Rekapi, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira; I te mea i rongo koutou ki te ako a to koutou papa, a Ionarapa, i pupuri hoki i ana ako katoa, i mahi i nga mea katoa i akona e ia ki a kou tou;
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!
Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa o nga mano, a te Atua o Iharaira: E kore e kore he tangata ma Ionarapa tama a Rekapa, hei tu ki toku aroaro i nga ra katoa.
