Jeremiah 35
1 [Several years earlier, ] when Jehoiakim was the King of Judah, Yahweh gave me this message:
KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la, mai o Iehova mai i na la o Iehoiakima ke keiki a Iosia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i mai la,
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.”
O hele oe i ka hale o ka Rekaba, a e olelo aku ia lakou, a e lawe mai ia lakou i ka hale o Iehova, a iloko o kekahi keena, a e hoohainu ia lakou i ka waina.
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.
Alaila, kii aku la au ia Iaazania i ke keiki a Ieremia, ke keiki a Habazinia, a me kona poe hoahanau, a me kana mau keikikane a pau, a me ko ka hale a pau o ka Rekaba;
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.
A lawe ae la au ia lakou iloko o ka hale o Iehova, a iloko o ke keena o na keiki a Hanana, ke keiki a Igedalia, he kanaka no ke Akua, aia kokoke i ke keena o na'lii, maluna hoi o ke keena o Maaseia ke keiki a Saluma, ke kiaipuka.
5 I set jugs of wine in front of them and urged them to drink some,
A imua o na kanaka o ka hale o ka Rekaba, kau aku la au i mau ipu i piha i ka waina, a me na kiaha, a i aku la au, E inu oukou i ka waina.
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.
Alaila, olelo mai la lakou, Aole makou e inu i ka waina; no ka mea, kauoha mai la o Ionadaba ke keiki a Rekaba ko makou kupuna ia makou, i mai la, Mai inu oukou i ka waina, o oukou, a me ka oukou poe keiki, a i ka manawa pau ole.
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.’
Mai kukulu hale hoi oukou, mai lulu hua, mai kanu pawaina, aole na oukou ia; aka, i ko oukou mau la a pau, e noho oukou ma na halelewa, i nui na la o ko oukou ola ana ma ka aina a oukou i noho malihini ai.
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].
Pela makou i hoolohe ai i ka leo o Ionadaba, ke keiki a Rekaba, ko makou kupunakane, ma na mea a pau ana i kauoha mai ai ia makou, e inu ole i ka waina i ko makou mau la a pau, o makou a me ka makou poe wahine, a me ka makou poe keikikane a me ka makou poe kaikamahine.
9 We have not built houses or planted vineyards or [other] crops or [worked in] fields.
Aole hoi e kukulu hale no makou e noho ai iloko; aole hoi o makou pawaiua, aole mahinaai, aole hua.
10 We have lived in tents. We have obeyed all the commands that Jehonadab, our ancestor, gave us.
Aka, ua noho makou ma na halelewa, a ua hoolohe, a ua hana e like me na mea a pau a Ionadaba, ko makou kupuna i Kauoha mai ai ia makou.
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].”
A i ka manawa i pii mai ai i kela aina o Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona, alaila, i iho la makou, Ea, o haele kakou i Ierusalema no ka makau i ka poe kaua o ko Kaledea, a no ka makau i ka poe kaua o ko Suria; nolaila makou e noho nei i Ierusalema.
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:
Alaila, hiki mai la ka olelo a Iehova ia Ieremia, i mai la,
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?
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei; O hele e hai aku i na kanaka, i ka Iuda, a me ka poe noho ma Ierusalema, Aole anei oukou e ae i ke ao ana, aole anei oukou e hoolohe i ka'u mau olelo? wahi a Iehova.
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.
O na olelo a Ionadaba, ke keiki a Rekaba ana i kauoha iho ai i kana poe keiki, aole e inu i ka waina, ua malamaia. No ka mea, a hiki mai i keia la, ua inu ole lakou, a ua malama hoi i ke kauoha a ka makua. Aka, ua olelo aku no wau ia oukou, e ala ana i ka wanaao e olelo, aole nae oukou i hoolohe mai ia'u.
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.
Ua hoouna aku no hoi au io oukou la, i ka'u poe kauwa a pau, i na kaula, e ala ana i ka wanaao e hoouna, me ka olelo aku, E hoi mai kela mea keia mea o oukou, mai kona aoao hewa mai, a e hooponopono i ka oukou hana ana; a mai hele mahope o na akua e, e malama ia lakou, a e noho no oukou ma ka aina a'u i haawi aku ai ia oukou, a i ko oukou poe makua; aole nae oukou i haliu mai i ko oukou pepeiao, aole i hoolohe mai ia'u.
16 The descendants of Jehonadab have obeyed their ancestor, but you have refused to pay attention to what I told you.
No ka mea, ua malama na keiki a Ionadaba, ke keiki a Rekaba i ke kauoha o ko lakou makua, ana i kauoha ai ia lakou; a ua hoolohe ole keia poe kanaka ia'u:
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.'” '”
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela; Aia hoi, E lawe mai no wau maluna o ka Iuda, a maluna o ka poe a pau e noho la ma Ierusalema i ka hewa a pau a'u i olelo ai ia lakou: no ka mea, ua olelo no wau ia lakou, aole lakou i lohe mai; ua hea aku au ia lakou, aole lakou i o mai.
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.
Olelo ae la o Ieremia i ko ka hale o ka Rekaba, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; No ka mea, ua hoolohe oukou i ke kauoha a Ionadaba, ko oukou kupunakane, a malama hoi i kona mau kanawai, a ua hana e like me ua mea a pau aua i kauoha mai ai ia oukou;
19 Therefore, this is what I say: “There will always be descendants of Jehonadab who will do work for me.”’”
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aole e nele o Ionadaba, ke keiki a Rekaba, i ke kanaka e ku imua o'u, a hiki i ka manawa pau ole.
