Jeremiah 35

1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:

Ko e folofola naʻe hoko meia Sihova kia Selemaia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Sihoiakimi ko e foha ʻo Siosaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē,

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.'

“ʻAlu ki he fale ʻoe fānau ʻa Lekapi, pea lea kiate kinautolu, pea ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ki he potu ʻe taha ʻi ʻolunga, pea foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae uaine ke nau inu.”

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,

Pea naʻaku toki ʻave ʻa Seasania ko e foha ʻo Selemaia, ko e foha ʻo Hapasinia, mo hono kāinga pea mo hono ngaahi foha kotoa pē, pea mo e fale kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa Lekapi;

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;

Pea ne u ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ki he potu fale ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Hanani, ko e foha ʻo ʻIkitalia, ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku hoko mo e ngaahi potu fale ʻoe houʻeiki, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he potu ʻo Māseia ko e foha ʻo Salumi, ko e tauhi ʻoe matapā.

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.

Pea u tuku ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻoe fale ʻoe kau Lekapi ʻae ngaahi ipu kuo pito ʻi he uaine, pea mo e ngaahi ipu, pea naʻaku pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou inu uaine.”

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;

Ka naʻa nau pehē mai, “ʻE ʻikai te mau inu uaine: he kuo fekau kiate kimautolu ʻe Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi ko ʻemau tamai, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOua naʻa mou inu uaine, ʻakimoutolu, pe ko homou ngaahi foha ʻo taʻengata.

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.

Pea ʻoua naʻa mou langa fale, pe tūtuuʻi ʻae tenga, pe tō ha ngoue vaine, pe maʻu ia: ka te mou nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo hoʻomou moʻui; koeʻuhi ke mou nofo ʻi he ʻaho lahi ʻi he fonua ʻoku mou ʻāunofo ai.’

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;

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻemau talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi ko ʻemau tamai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne fekau ai ʻakimautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa inu uaine ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻemau moʻui, ʻakimautolu, pe ko homau ngaahi uaifi, pe ko homau ngaahi foha, pe ko homau ngaahi ʻofefine;

9 nor to build houses for our dwelling; and vineyard, and field, and seed, we have none;

Pea ke ʻoua naʻa mau langa ʻae ngaahi fale ke nofo ai: pea ʻoua naʻa mau maʻu ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, pe ha ngoue, pe ha tenga ke tō:

10 and we dwell in tents, and we hearken, and we do according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us;

Ka kuo mau nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, pea talangofua, pea fai ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo fekau kiate kimautolu ʻe Sonatapi ko ʻemau tamai.

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.'

Ka naʻe hoko ia ʻo pehē, ʻi he haʻu ʻa Nepukanesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Papilone ki he fonua, naʻa mau pehē, ‘Haʻu ke tau ʻo ki Selūsalema koeʻuhi ko e manavahē ki he kau tau ʻoe kau Kalitia, pea ko e manavahē ki he kau tau ʻoe kakai Silia: pea ko ia ʻoku mau nofo ai ni ʻi Selūsalema.’”

12 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel:

Pea naʻe toki hoko ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kia Selemaia, ʻo pehē,

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.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻAlu ʻo tala ki he kau tangata ʻo Siuta mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, “ʻE ʻikai te mou maʻu ʻae akonaki ke fanongo ki heʻeku ngaahi lea?” ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova.

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.

“Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau ki hono ngaahi foha ke ʻoua naʻa nau inu uaine, kuo fakamoʻoni: ʻoku teʻeki te nau inu ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni, ka ʻoku nau talangofua ki he fekau ʻa ʻenau tamai: ka kuo u folofola kiate kimoutolu, ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo lea; ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga kiate au.

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.

Pea kuo u fekau foki kiate kimoutolu, ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita kotoa pē ʻo tuʻu hengihengi hake pe ʻo fekauʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo pehē, ‘Mou tafoki ʻae tangata taki taha mei hono hala kovi, pea fakalelei hoʻomou ngaahi faianga, pea ʻoua naʻa mou muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe ke tauhi ʻakinautolu, pea te mou nofo ʻi he fonua ʻaia kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai; ka naʻe ʻikai te mou fakafanongo homou telinga, pe tokanga kiate au,

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,

Koeʻuhi kuo fai ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻo Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi ʻae fekau ʻa ʻenau tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau kiate kinautolu; ka ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ʻae kakai ni kiate au:’”

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.'

“Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; Vakai, te u ʻomi ki Siuta mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema ʻae kovi kotoa pē kuo u lea ʻaki kiate kinautolu: koeʻuhi naʻaku lea kiate kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo; pea kuo u ui kiate kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau tali.”

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;

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Selemaia ki he fale ʻoe kau Lekapi, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘Koeʻuhi kuo mou talangofua ki he fekau ʻa Sonatapi ko hoʻomou tamai, pea tauhi ki heʻene tala kotoa pē, pea fai ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu:’

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.'

Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; ‘ʻE ʻikai masiva ʻa Sonatapi ko e foha ʻo Lekapi ʻi ha tangata ke tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao, ʻo taʻengata.’”
