Jeremiah 35
1 [Several years earlier, ] when Jehoiakim was the King of Judah, Yahweh gave me this message:
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN i Josias's Søn Kong Jojakim af Judas Dage:
2 “Go to the place where families of the Rechab clan live. Invite them to my temple. [When they arrive, ] take them into one of the inside rooms and offer them [some] wine.”
»Gaa hen til Rekabiternes Hus og tal dem til, bring dem til et af Kamrene i HERRENS Hus og giv dem Vin at drikke!«
3 So I went to see Jaazaniah and all his brothers and sons who represented the Rechab clan. Jaazaniah was the son of [another man named] Jeremiah and grandson of Habazziniah.
Saa hentede jeg Ja'azanja, en Søn af Jirmeja, Habazzinjas Søn, og hans Brødre og alle hans Sønner og hele Rekabiternes Hus
4 I took them to the temple, [and we went] into the room where the sons of Igdaliah’s son Hanan, who was a prophet, stayed. That room was next to the room that was used by the men who were in charge of the entrances to the temple. It was above the room that belonged to Maaseiah, who was the temple gatekeeper and the son of Shallum.
og bragte dem til HERRENS Hus, til den Guds Mand Hanans, Jigdaljahus Søns, Sønners Kammer ved Siden af Fyrsternes Kammer oven over Dørvogteren Ma'asejas, Sjallums Søns, Kammer.
5 I set jugs of wine in front of them and urged them to drink some,
Og jeg satte Krukker, som var fulde af Vin, og Bægre for dem og sagde: »Drik!«
6 but they refused. They said, “We do not drink wine, because our ancestor Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, commanded us, saying ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine.
Men de svarede: »Vi drikker ikke Vin, thi vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, gav os det Bud: I og eders Børn maa aldrig drikke Vin,
7 And you must not build houses or plant vineyards or [other] crops. Instead, you must always live in tents. If you obey those commands, you all will live for many years in this land.’
ej heller bygge Huse eller saa Korn eller plante eller eje Vingaarde, men I skal bo i Telte hele eders Liv, for at I maa leve længe i det Land, I bor i som fremmede.
8 [So] we have obeyed him in all those matters. We have never drunk wine. Our wives and our sons and our daughters [have also never drunk wine].
Og vi har adlydt vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, i alt, hvad han bød os, idet baade vi, vore Kvinder, Sønner og Døtre hele vort Liv afholder os fra at drikke Vin,
9 We have not built houses or planted vineyards or [other] crops or [worked in] fields.
bygge Huse at bo i og eje Vingaarde, Marker eller Sæd,
10 We have lived in tents. We have obeyed all the commands that Jehonadab, our ancestor, gave us.
men bor i Telte; vi har adlydt og nøje gjort, som vor Fader Jonadab bød os.
11 But when [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar attacked this country, we said, ‘We must go to Jerusalem to escape from the armies of Babylonia and Syria.’ So, [we came] to Jerusalem and we are living [here].”
Men da Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel faldt ind i Landet, sagde vi: Kom, lad os ty til Jerusalem for Kaldæernes og Aramæernes Hære! Og vi slog os ned i Jerusalem.«
12 Then Yahweh gave this message to me: “This is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people say that they belong to], say:
Da kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
13 'Go and tell this to the people in Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah: “Why do you not [RHQ] listen to me or learn something about how to obey me?
Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Gaa hen og sig til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere: Vil I ikke tage ved Lære og høre mine Ord? lyder det fra HERREN.
14 The Rechab clan still do not drink wine, because their ancestor Jehonadab told them to not do that. [In contrast], I have spoken to you many times, but you refuse to obey me.
Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Bud er blevet overholdt; thi han forbød sine Sønner at drikke Vin, og de har ikke drukket Vin til den Dag i Dag, men adlydt deres Faders Bud; men jeg har talet til eder aarle og silde, uden at I vilde høre mig.
15 Many times I sent prophets to you. They told you, 'Turn away from your wicked behavior, and do things that you should do. Stop worshiping other gods, in order that you will be able to live [peacefully] in this land that I gave to you and your ancestors.' But you would not pay attention to what I said or obey me.
Jeg sendte alle mine Tjenere Profeterne til eder aarle og silde, for at de skulde sige: »Omvend eder hver fra sin onde Vej, gør gode Gerninger og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, saa I dyrker dem; saa skal I bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre.« Men I bøjede ikke eders Øre og hørte mig ikke.
16 The descendants of Jehonadab have obeyed their ancestor, but you have refused to pay attention to what I told you.
Fordi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Sønner overholdt deres Faders Bud, medens dette Folk ikke vilde høre mig,
17 Therefore, this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say: 'You have refused to listen to me and you did not answer when I called you. Therefore, I will cause the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to experience all the disasters that I said that I would cause to happen.'” '”
derfor, saa siger HERREN, Hærskarers Gud, Israels Gud: Se, jeg bringer over Juda og Jerusalems Borgere al den Ulykke, jeg har truet dem med, fordi de ikke hørte, da jeg talede, og ikke svarede, da jeg kaldte ad dem.
18 Then I turned to the Rechab clan and said, “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [say we belong to], says: ‘You have obeyed what your ancestor Jehonadab told you. You have obeyed all his instructions.
Men til Rekabiternes Hus sagde Jeremias: Saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Fordi I har adlydt eders Fader Jonadabs Bud og overholdt alle hans Bud og gjort alt, hvad han bød eder,
19 Therefore, this is what I say: “There will always be descendants of Jehonadab who will do work for me.”’”
derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ingen Sinde skal Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, fattes en Mand til at staa for mit Aasyn.
