Jeremiah 35
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:
Ndị a bụ okwu Onyenwe anyị nke ruru Jeremaya ntị nʼoge ọchịchị Jehoiakim nwa Josaya eze Juda sị ya,
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.'
“Jee nʼụlọ ụmụ Rekab kpọọ ha oku ka ha bịa nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, nʼotu nʼime ọnụụlọ ya, nọdụ nʼebe ahụ nye ha mmanya ka ha ṅụọ.”
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,
Ya mere, ejekwuuru m Jaazanaya nwa Jeremaya, nwa Habazinaya na ụmụnne ya, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, ya bụ, ndị ezinaụlọ Rekab niile.
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;
Akpọbatara m ha nʼụlọnsọ Onyenwe anyị, nʼime ọnụụlọ ụmụ Hanan nwa Igdalaya, onye nke Chineke. Ọnụụlọ a dị nso nʼọnụụlọ ndịisi ụlọnsọ, nke dị nʼelu ọnụụlọ Maaseia nwa Shalum, onye nche ọnụ ụzọ ụlọnsọ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, e doziri m ọkwa ụfọdụ jupụtara na mmanya na iko ụfọdụ nʼihu ụmụ Rekab, sị ha, “Ngwanụ, ṅụanụ mmanya.”
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;
Ma ha zara sị, “Anyị adịghị aṅụ mmanya, nʼihi na nna nna anyị Jehonadab nwa Rekab nyere anyị iwu sị anyị, ‘Unu aṅụkwala mmanya, unu na ụmụ ụmụ unu.
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.
Ọzọkwa, unu ewurula onwe unu ụlọ, unu akụla mkpụrụ ubi, maọbụ kụọ ubi vaịnị. Unu adọtarala onwe unu ihe ndị a niile, kama na-ebinụ nʼụlọ ikwuu. Ọ bụ nʼụzọ dị otu a ka unu ga-esi bie ogologo ndụ nʼala ahụ unu bụ ndị ọbịa nʼime ya.’
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;
Anyị erubela isi nʼihe niile nna nna anyị Jehonadab nwa Rekab gwara anyị. Anyị na ndị nwunye anyị na ụmụ anyị ndị ikom na ndị inyom adịghị aṅụ mmanya,
9 nor to build houses for our dwelling; and vineyard, and field, and seed, we have none;
maọbụ wuo ụlọ, maọbụ nwee ubi vaịnị, ala ubi maọbụ mkpụrụ ọkụkụ.
10 and we dwell in tents, and we hearken, and we do according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us;
Ọ bụkwa nʼụlọ ikwuu ka anyị na-ebi dị ka nna nna anyị Jehonadab nyere anyị nʼiwu.
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.'
Ma mgbe Nebukadneza eze Babilọn busoro ala anyị agha, anyị kpebiri sị, ‘Bịanụ ka anyị gbaba Jerusalem si otu a gbanarị ndị agha Babilọn, na ndị agha ndị Aram.’ Ọ bụ nke a mere anyị ji biri na Jerusalem.”
12 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel:
Mgbe ahụ, okwu Onyenwe anyị ruru Jeremaya ntị sị ya
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.
Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, “Gaa gwa ndị Juda na ndị bi na Jerusalem, ‘Ọ bụ na unu agaghị esite nʼịdọ aka na ntị mụta irubere okwu m isi?’ ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara.
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.
‘Jehonadab nwa Rekab nyere ụmụ ụmụ ya iwu sị ha aṅụla mmanya, ha na-edebe iwu ahụ. Ruo taa, ha adịghị aṅụ mmanya, nʼihi na ha na-edebe iwu nna nna ha nyere ha. Ma mụ onwe m agwala unu okwu mgbe na mgbe, ma unu jụrụ irubere m isi.
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.
Mgbe mgbe ka m ziteere unu ụmụ ohu m bụ ndị amụma, ndị bịara gwa unu okwu sị, “Dozienụ ụzọ unu, sitekwanụ nʼajọ omume unu tụgharịa. Unu niile nʼotu nʼotu, unu agbasola chi ndị ọzọ ife ha. Ọ bụrụ na unu emee otu a, unu ga-ebi nʼala a m nyere unu na nna nna unu ha.” Ma unu jụrụ ịṅa ntị, jụkwa ige m ntị.
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,
Ụmụ ụmụ Jehonadab, nwa Rekab, emeela ihe nna nna ha nyere ha nʼiwu, ma ndị a jụrụ irubere m isi.’
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.'
“Nʼihi ya, ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, Chineke Izrel kwuru: ‘Geenụ ntị! Lee, ana m aga ime ka ihe ọjọọ bịakwasị Juda na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem, dịka m kwuru na ọ ga-adị. Nʼihi na agwala m ha okwu, ma ha jụrụ ige m ntị. Akpọrọ m ha oku, ma ha jụrụ ịza.’”
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;
Mgbe ahụ, Jeremaya gwara ndị ezinaụlọ Rekab, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel kwuru, ‘Unu erubeela isi mee ihe niile nna nna unu bụ Jehonadab nyere unu nʼiwu.’
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.'
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, bụ Chineke Izrel, kwuru sị, ‘O nweghị mgbe ọbụla nwoke ga-ejere m ozi ga-akọ nʼezinaụlọ Jehonadab nwa Rekab.’”
