Zeremaia 35

1 Hagi Josaia nemofo Jehoiakimi'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'nea knafina Ra Anumzamo'a Jeremaiana amanage huno asami'ne,

[Several years earlier, ] when Jehoiakim was the King of Judah, Yahweh gave me this message:

2 Kagra Rekapu naga'ene vunka ome keaga hutenka, zamavarenka ege'za Ra Anumzamofo nonte etesagenka, zamavarenka mago hunaragintepinka umareriteta, anampinka waini tina ome zamige'za neho.

“Go to the place where families of the Rechab clan live. Invite them to my temple. [When they arrive, ] take them into one of the inside rooms and offer them [some] wine.”

3 Hagi anagema huno Ra Anumzamo'a nasamitege'na, nagra vu'na Habazinia negeho ne' Jeremaia nemofo Jazaniane, ana maka ne' mofavre naga'ane afu'aganahe'inema nezamavare'na, maka Rekapu naga'enena,

So I went to see Jaazaniah and all his brothers and sons who represented the Rechab clan. Jaazaniah was the son of [another man named] Jeremiah and grandson of Habazziniah.

4 zamavarena Ra Anumzamofo mono nonte'ma ete'na, Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Igdalia negeho ne' Hanani ne' mofavre naga'ma nemanizafinka zamavare'na ufre'noe. Hagi ana'ma hunaraginte naza nomo'a, hunaraginte'nage'za mago'a eri'za vahe'ma nemaniza nomofo tavaonte me'nea nompi zamavare'na ufre'noe. Hagi ana'ma hunaraginte naza nomo'a, mono no kafante kva nehia ne' Salumu nemofo Maseia'ma nemania nomofo anaga kazigama me'nea nompinka zamavare'na vu'noe.

I took them to the temple, [and we went] into the room where the sons of Igdaliah’s son Hanan, who was a prophet, stayed. That room was next to the room that was used by the men who were in charge of the entrances to the temple. It was above the room that belonged to Maaseiah, who was the temple gatekeeper and the son of Shallum.

5 Hagi anante waini timo'ma avi'mate'nea tintafentamine kapuraminena eri'na e'na, Rekapu naga'mokizmi zamavuga eme nente'na, waini tina erita neho hu'na hu'noe.

I set jugs of wine in front of them and urged them to drink some,

6 Hianagi zamagra amanage hu'za kenona hunante'naze. Tagra waini tina onegahune, na'ankure tagri nerafa Rekapu nemofo Jonadabu'a tasamino, tamagra waini tina nonenke'za tamagripinti'ma forehu anante nante'ma hu'za vanaza mofavre naga'mo'zanena onetfa hiho huno tasami'ne.

but they refused. They said, “We do not drink wine, because our ancestor Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, commanded us, saying ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine.

7 Anage nehuno tamagra nona nonkita, hoza erita nonteta, waini hozanena erita ontetfa hiho. Hianagi tamagra kraga vahe'ma manitama vanoma hanaza mopafina, maka kna tamagra seli nompima manita vanoma hanuta za'zate manigahaze huno tasami'ne.

And you must not build houses or plant vineyards or [other] crops. Instead, you must always live in tents. If you obey those commands, you all will live for many years in this land.’

8 E'ina hu'negu nerafa ne' Rekapu nemofo Jonadabu'a huranteno, tamagrane a'nane nagatamine, ne'mofavretamine mofa'ne naga tamimo'zanena waini tina onetfa hiho huno higeta, ana naneke amage anteta neonkeno eno ama knarera ehanati'ne.

[So] we have obeyed him in all those matters. We have never drunk wine. Our wives and our sons and our daughters [have also never drunk wine].

9 Ana nehuta nona kita nomanita, waini hoza nonteta hozanena erita avimzana nohankrone.

We have not built houses or planted vineyards or [other] crops or [worked in] fields.

10 Hianagi tagra seli nompi nemanita, nerageho ne' Jonadabu'ma amage antehoma huno hu'nea nanekea maka amage ante'none.

We have lived in tents. We have obeyed all the commands that Jehonadab, our ancestor, gave us.

11 Hianagi Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesama eno ha'ma eme hunerantegeta, tagra Kaldia sondia vaheku'ene Siria sondia vaheku koro nehuta amanage hu'none. Enketa Jerusalemi kumate vanune nehuta, e'nonku menina Jerusalemi kumate mani'none.

But when [the army of] King Nebuchadnezzar attacked this country, we said, ‘We must go to Jerusalem to escape from the armies of Babylonia and Syria.’ So, [we came] to Jerusalem and we are living [here].”

12 Hagi anagema hutazageno anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Jeremaiana asami'ne,

Then Yahweh gave this message to me: “This is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom the Israeli [people say that they belong to], say:

13 Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, kagra vunka Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'enena ome zamasamio. Tamavumro'ma antenaku'ma nehua kene, Nagri nanekenena antahita amagera ontegahazafi?

'Go and tell this to the people in Jerusalem and in [other places in] Judah: “Why do you not [RHQ] listen to me or learn something about how to obey me?

14 Hagi Rekapu nemofo Jonadabu'a mofavre naga'a zamasamino, waini tina oneho huno huzamantege'za one'za neageno eno ama knarera ehanati'ne. Na'ankure nezamafa'ma hia naneke amage ante'naze. Hianagi Nagra rama'a zupa tamagrira tamasami vava hu'na e'noanagi, tamagra Nagri nanekea antahita amagera onte'naze.

The Rechab clan still do not drink wine, because their ancestor Jehonadab told them to not do that. [In contrast], I have spoken to you many times, but you refuse to obey me.

15 Hagi Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na eri'za vaheni'a kasnampa vahera rama'a zupa huzmantoge'za evava nehu'za, amanage hu'za eme tamasami'naze. Maka'mota havi avu'ava zama nehaza zana atreta tamagu'a rukrahe huta fatgo avu'avaza hiho. Ana nehuta havi anumzantaminte'ma mono'ma hunezamanteta, zamage'ma nentaza zana atreho. E'ina'ma hanuta tamagehe'ine tamagri'enema tami'noa mopafina knare huta manigahaze hu'za eme tamasami'naze. Hianagi ana nanekea tamagesa anteta nentahita amagera onte'naze.

Many times I sent prophets to you. They told you, 'Turn away from your wicked behavior, and do things that you should do. Stop worshiping other gods, in order that you will be able to live [peacefully] in this land that I gave to you and your ancestors.' But you would not pay attention to what I said or obey me.

16 Hagi Rekapu nemofo Jonadabu mofavre naga'mo'za nezmageho'ma hu'nea nanekea antahi'za amage ante'naze. Hianagi tamagra Nagri nanekea antahita amagera onte'naze.

The descendants of Jehonadab have obeyed their ancestor, but you have refused to pay attention to what I told you.

17 E'ina hu'negu Hankavenentake Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage nehie. Nagra Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'enena, knaza zami'na zamazeri haviza hugahuema hu'na hu'noa knazanteti zamazeri haviza hugahue. Na'ankure Nagra keaga zamasmuanagi Nagri nanekea antahi'za amagera nontazage'na, zamagrikura kezati'noanagi ana kerera kenona osu'nazagu anara hugahue.

Therefore, this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom you Israeli people [say you belong to], say: 'You have refused to listen to me and you did not answer when I called you. Therefore, I will cause the people in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to experience all the disasters that I said that I would cause to happen.'” '”

18 Hagi anante Jeremaia'a Rekapu nagara zamasamino, hankavenentake Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Na'ankure tamagra neramafa Jonadabu'ma huramante'nea nanekene tra ke'anena maka amage nenteta, nazano hihoma huno huramante'nea zanena maka amage ante vagare'naze.

Then I turned to the Rechab clan and said, “This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [say we belong to], says: ‘You have obeyed what your ancestor Jehonadab told you. You have obeyed all his instructions.

19 E'ina hu'nagu Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a huno, Rekapu nemofo Jonadabu nagapintira mago'mo otino Nagri eri'zana erino nevanige'za, zamagripinti'ma henkama forehu anante nante'ma hanaza vahepintira otitere hu'za ana eri'zana erivava hu'za vugahaze.

Therefore, this is what I say: “There will always be descendants of Jehonadab who will do work for me.”’”
