Jeremiah 35
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:
Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, lè sa a se Jojakim, pitit Jozyas, ki te wa peyi Jida. Li di l' konsa:
2 'Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and thou hast spoken with them, and brought them into the house of Jehovah, unto one of the chambers, and caused them to drink wine.'
-Al jwenn moun branch fanmi Rekab yo. Pale ak yo. Fè yo vini ak ou nan yonn nan pyès chanm Tanp lan. Lè y'a rive la, w'a ba yo diven bwè.
3 And I take Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and all the house of the Rechabites,
Se konsa Jeremi al chache tout branch fanmi Rekab yo, depi Jazanya, pitit gason Imeja, ki te pitit Abasinya, ansanm ak tout frè l' yo ak tout pitit gason yo.
4 and bring them into the house of Jehovah, unto the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, that [is] near to the chamber of the princes, that [is] above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum, keeper of the threshold;
Li mennen yo nan tanp lan. Li fè yo antre nan pyès chanm yo te bay patizan pwofèt Anan, pitit Igdalya a. Pyès chanm sa a te kole kole ak chanm chèf tanp yo, li te anwo pyès chanm ki pou Maseya, pitit gason Chaloum lan, prèt ki te reskonsab veye pòtay tanp lan.
5 and I put before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups, and I say unto them, Drink ye wine.
Apre sa, Jeremi mete gwo ja plen diven ak gode devan moun Rekab yo. Li di yo: -Bwè diven non!
6 And they say, 'We do not drink wine: for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, charged us, saying, Ye do not drink wine, ye and your sons — unto the age;
Men yo reponn li: -Nou pa bwè diven non. Paske zansèt nou, Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, te ban nou lòd sa yo: Pa janm bwè diven, ni nou, ni pitit nou yo.
7 and a house ye do not build, and seed ye do not sow, and a vineyard ye do not plant, nor have ye any; for in tents do ye dwell all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the ground whither ye are sojourning.
Pa janm bati kay, pa janm travay latè, pa janm plante rezen, pa janm achte bagay konsa non plis. N'a pase tout lavi nou anba tant. Konsa, n'a rete lontan nan peyi ki pa pou nou an.
8 'And we hearken to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, to all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;
Nou toujou obeyi lòd zansèt nou, Jonadab, pitit Rekab, te ban nou. Nou pa janm bwè diven nan vi nou, ni nou menm, ni madanm nou, ni pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo.
9 nor to build houses for our dwelling; and vineyard, and field, and seed, we have none;
Nou pa bati kay pou nou rete. Nou pa gen pye rezen. Nou pa gen jaden pou n' plante.
10 and we dwell in tents, and we hearken, and we do according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us;
Se anba tant nou rete. Konsa, nou toujou fè tou sa Jonadab, zansèt nou, te ban nou lòd fè a.
11 and it cometh to pass, in the coming up of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon unto the land, that we say, Come, and we enter Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans, and because of the force of Aram — and we dwell in Jerusalem.'
Men, lè Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, anvayi peyi a, nou yonn di lòt: Ann antre lavil Jerizalèm pou nou chape anba lame moun Babilòn yo ak lame moun peyi Siri yo. Se konsa nou vin rete lavil Jerizalèm.
12 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel:
Lè sa a Seyè a pale ak Jeremi.
13 'Go, and thou hast said to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Do ye not receive instruction? — to hearken unto My words — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di l': -Ale jwenn moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo, w'a di yo: Poukisa yo pa pran leson sou moun Rekab yo, pou yo fè sa mwen di yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap mande yo sa.
14 Performed have been the words of Jonadab son of Rechab, when he commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not drunk unto this day, for they have obeyed the command of their father; and I — I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened unto Me.
Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, te bay lòd pou pitit li yo pa janm bwè diven. Jouk jounen jòdi a yo pa janm bwè diven. Yo swiv lòd zansèt yo te ba yo a. Men nou menm, mwen pa janm sispann avèti nou. Nou pa janm koute m'.
15 And I send unto you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying: Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and amend your doings, yea, ye do not walk after other gods, to serve them, and dwell ye on the ground that I have given to you and to your fathers; and ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto Me.
Mwen pa janm sispann voye sèvitè m' yo, pwofèt yo, vin di nou: Manyè kite move pant n'ap swiv yo. Manyè fè sa ki dwat! Pa kouri dèyè lòt bondye pou nou sèvi yo. Konsa, n'a rete nan peyi mwen te bay pou zansèt nou yo ansanm ak nou an. Men, nou pa koute m'.
16 'Because the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab have performed the command of their father, that he commanded them, and this people have not hearkened unto Me,
Pitit Jonadab yo te fè tou sa zansèt yo te mande yo fè, men nou menm moun Jida yo, nou pa vle koute m'.
17 therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto Judah, and unto all inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken unto them, and they have not hearkened, yea, I call to them, and they have not answered.'
Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen di nou: Mwen pral voye sou moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo malè mwen te di m'ap voye a. Paske mwen te pale nou, nou pa koute m'. Mwen rele nou, nou pa reponn mwen.
18 And to the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Because that ye have hearkened unto the command of Jonadab your father, and ye observe all his commands, and do according to all that he commanded you;
Apre sa, Jeremi di moun Rekab yo: -Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di nou: Nou te swiv lòd zansèt nou, Jonadab, te ban nou an. Nou te fè tou sa li te mande nou fè, tout lòd li te ban nou yo.
19 therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Of Jonadab son of Rechab one standing before me is not cut off all the days.'
Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen di: Va toujou gen yon gason nan fanmi Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, pou sèvi mwen.
