< Jeremiah 35 >

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra HERREN i Josias's Søn Kong Jojakim af Judas Dage:
2 Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
»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 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
Saa hentede jeg Ja'azanja, en Søn af Jirmeja, Habazzinjas Søn, og hans Brødre og alle hans Sønner og hele Rekabiternes Hus
4 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, who was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
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 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink ye wine.
Og jeg satte Krukker, som var fulde af Vin, og Bægre for dem og sagde: »Drik!«
6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:
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 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye are strangers.
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 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
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 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
bygge Huse at bo i og eje Vingaarde, Marker eller Sæd,
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
men bor i Telte; vi har adlydt og nøje gjort, som vor Fader Jonadab bød os.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
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 came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,
Da kom HERRENS Ord til mig saaledes:
13 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD.
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 words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: however I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not to 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 I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to 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 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened to me:
Fordi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Sønner overholdt deres Faders Bud, medens dette Folk ikke vilde høre mig,
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.
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 And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he hath commanded you:
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 thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before me for ever.
derfor, saa siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ingen Sinde skal Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, fattes en Mand til at staa for mit Aasyn.
