Jeremiah 35
1 The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye, in the daies of Joachym, sone of Josie,
Hili ndilo neno lililomjia Yeremia kutoka kwa Bwana, wakati wa utawala wa Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosia mfalme wa Yuda:
2 kyng of Juda, and seide, Go thou to the hous of Recabitis, and speke thou to hem; and thou schalt brynge hem in to the hous of the Lord, in to o chaumbre of tresouris, and thou schalt yyue to hem to drynke wyn.
“Nenda kwa jamaa ya Warekabi, uwaalike waje kwenye moja ya vyumba vya pembeni vya nyumba ya Bwana, na uwape divai wanywe.”
3 And Y took Jeconye, the sone of Jeremye, sone of Absanye, and hise britheren, and alle the sones of hym, and al the hous of Recabitis.
Basi nikaenda kumwita Yaazania mwana wa Yeremia, mwana wa Habazinia, na ndugu zake na wanawe wote, yaani jamaa nzima ya Warekabi.
4 And Y ledde hem in to the hous of the Lord, to the treserie of the sones of Eman, sone of Godolie, the man of God; which treserie was bisidis the treserie of princes, aboue the tresour of Maasie, sone of Sellum, that was kepere of the vestiarie.
Nikawaleta katika nyumba ya Bwana, ndani ya chumba cha wana wa Hanani mwana wa Igdalia mtu wa Mungu. Kilikuwa karibu na chumba cha maafisa, ambacho kilikuwa juu ya kile cha Maaseya mwana wa Shalumu, aliyekuwa bawabu.
5 And Y settide bifore the sones of the hous of Recabitis pecis, and grete cowpis ful of wyn; and Y seide to hem, Drinke ye wyn.
Kisha nikaweka mabakuli yaliyojaa divai na baadhi ya vikombe mbele ya watu wa jamaa ya Warekabi na kuwaambia, “Kunyweni divai.”
6 And thei answeriden, We schulen not drinke wyn; for whi Jonadab, oure fadir, the sone of Recab, comaundide to vs, and seide, Ye schulen not drinke wyn, ye and youre sones, `til in to withouten ende;
Lakini wao wakajibu, “Sisi hatunywi divai, kwa sababu baba yetu Yonadabu mwana wa Rekabu, alitupa agizo hili: ‘Ninyi wala wazao wenu kamwe msinywe divai.
7 and ye schulen not bilde an hous, and ye schulen not sowe seed, and ye schulen not plaunte vynes, nether schulen haue, but ye schulen dwelle in tabernaclis in alle youre daies, that ye lyue many daies on the face of erthe, in which ye goen in pilgrymage.
Pia msijenge nyumba kamwe, wala kuotesha mbegu au kupanda mashamba ya mizabibu. Kamwe msiwe na kitu chochote katika hivi, lakini siku zote lazima muishi kwenye mahema. Ndipo mtakapoishi kwa muda mrefu katika nchi ambayo ninyi ni wahamiaji.’
8 Therfor we obeieden to the vois of Jonadab, oure fadir, the sone of Recab, in alle thingis whiche he comaundide to vs; so that we drunken not wyn in alle oure dayes, we, and oure wymmen, oure sones, and douytris;
Tumetii kila kitu ambacho baba yetu Yonadabu mwana wa Rekabu alituamuru. Sisi wenyewe wala wake zetu wala wana wetu na binti zetu kamwe hatujanywa divai
9 and we bildiden not housis to dwelle, and we hadden not a vyner, and a feeld, and seed;
wala kujenga nyumba za kuishi au kuwa na mashamba ya mizabibu, mashamba au mazao.
10 but we dwelliden in tabernaclis, and weren obeiynge, and diden bi alle thingis, whiche Jonadab, oure fadir, comaundide to vs.
Tumeishi katika mahema na tumetii kikamilifu kila kitu alichotuamuru baba yetu Yonadabu.
11 But whanne Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, hadde stied to this lond, we seiden, Come ye, and entre we in to Jerusalem, fro the face of the oost of Caldeis, and fro the face of the oost of Sirie; and we dwelliden in Jerusalem.
Lakini wakati Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli alipoivamia nchi hii, tulisema, ‘Njooni, lazima twende Yerusalemu ili kukimbia majeshi ya Wakaldayo na ya Washamu.’ Kwa hiyo tumeishi Yerusalemu.”
12 And the word of the Lord was maad to Jeremye,
Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia Yeremia kusema:
13 and seide, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Go thou, and seie to the men of Juda, and to the dwelleris of Jerusalem, Whether ye schulen not take techyng, that ye obeie to my wordis, seith the Lord?
“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, aliye Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: Nenda ukawaambie watu wa Yuda na watu wa Yerusalemu, ‘Je, hamwezi kujifunza kutoka kwa wana wa Rekabu, na kuyatii maneno yangu?’ asema Bwana.
14 The wordis of Jonadab, sone of Rechab, hadden the maistrie, whiche he comaundide to hise sones, that thei schulden not drynke wyn; and thei drynken not, `til to this dai; for thei obeieden to the comaundement of her fadir; but Y spak to you, and Y roos ful eerli, and spake, and ye obeieden not to me.
‘Yonadabu mwana wa Rekabu aliwaagiza wanawe wasinywe divai, na agizo hilo wamelishika mpaka leo hawanywi divai, kwa sababu wanatii amri ya baba yao. Lakini nimenena nanyi tena na tena, lakini hamkunitii mimi.
15 And Y sente to you alle my seruauntis profetis, and Y roos ful eerli, and Y sente, and seide, Be ye conuertid, ech man fro his worste weye, and make ye good youre studies, and nyle ye sue alien goddis, nether worschipe ye hem, and ye schulen dwelle in the lond, which Y yaf to you, and to youre fadris; and ye bowiden not youre eere, nether herden me.
Tena na tena nimewatuma watumishi wangu wote manabii kwenu. Wakasema, “Kila mmoja wenu ni lazima ageuke na kuacha njia zake mbaya, na kuyatengeneza matendo yake. Msifuate miungu mingine ili kuitumikia. Ndipo mtakapoishi katika nchi niliyowapa ninyi na baba zenu.” Lakini hamkujali wala kunisikiliza.
16 Therfor the sones of Jonadab, sone of Recab, maden stidfast the comaundement of her fadir, which he comaundide to hem; but this puple obeiede not to me.
Wazao wa Yonadabu mwana wa Rekabu walitimiza amri ambayo baba yao aliwapa, lakini watu hawa hawakunitii mimi.’
17 Therfor the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bringe on Juda, and on alle the dwelleris of Jerusalem, al the turment which Y spak ayens hem; for Y spak to hem, and thei herden not; Y clepide hem, and thei answeriden not to me.
“Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: ‘Sikilizeni! Nitaleta juu ya Yuda na juu ya kila mmoja aishiye Yerusalemu kila aina ya maafa niliyotamka dhidi yao. Nilinena nao, lakini hawakusikiliza. Niliwaita, lakini hawakujibu.’”
18 Forsothe Jeremye seide to the hous of Recabitis, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, For that that ye obeieden to the comaundement of Jonadab, youre fadir, and kepten alle hise comaundementis, and diden alle thingis, whiche he comaundide to you;
Kisha Yeremia akaiambia jamaa ya Warekabi, “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli: ‘Mmetii amri ya baba yenu Yonadabu, na mmefuata mafundisho yake yote na mmefanya kila kitu alichowaamuru.’
19 therfor the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, A man of the generacioun of Jonadab, sone of Recab, schal not faile stondynge in my siyt in alle daies.
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: ‘Yonadabu mwana wa Rekabu hatakosa kamwe kuwa na mtu wa kunitumikia mimi.’”
