Jeremiah 35
1 Ke pacl se Jehoiakim wen natul Josiah el tokosra lun Judah, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,
The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2 “Fahla nu yurin mwet in sou lun Rechab ac kaskas nu selos. Na kom usalosme nu in sie sin fukil in Tempul ac sang wain nu selos elos in nim.”
“Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into Yahweh’s house, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.”
3 Ouinge nga som nu yorol Jaazaniah (wen nutin sie pac Jeremiah, su ma natul Habazziniah), ac tamulel lal ac wen nukewa natul, aok mwet nukewa in sou lun Rechab,
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, with his brothers, all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
4 ac usalosme nu in Tempul. Nga eisalos nu infukil sin mwet lutlut lun mwet palu Hanan, wen natul Igdaliah. Infukil se inge oan fin infukil sel Maaseiah, wen natul Shallum, sie mwet fulat oa in Tempul, ac apkuran pac nu ke infukil sin mwet leum saya ah.
and I brought them into Yahweh’s house, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the princes, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
5 Na nga likiya pol sessesla ke wain, wi cup, ye mutun mwet Rechab, ac nga fahk nu selos, “Nim wain uh.”
I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “Drink wine!”
6 Tusruktu elos topuk fahk, “Kut tia nim wain. Jonadab, wen natul Rechab papa matu tumasr, el sapkin nu sesr mu kut, ac fwilin tulik natusr, in tiana nim wain.
But they said, “We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink no wine, neither you nor your children, forever.
7 El oayapa fahk kut in tia musa lohm ku orek ima, ku yok ima in grape ac in tia pac moli ima sin mwet ngia. El sap kut in mutana in lohm nuknuk pacl nukewa, kut in mau mutangan mwet fahsr in facl se inge.
You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, or have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, that you may live many days in the land in which you live as nomads.’
8 Kut akos kas nukewa ma Jonadab el wili nu sesr. Kut sifacna kut tiana nim wain, oayapa mutan kiasr, wen natusr, ac acn natusr tia pac nim.
We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
9 Kut oayapa tia musa lohm in muta loac. Wangin ima in grape ku ima in wheat lasr, ac kut tia pac yukwi.
and not to build houses for ourselves to dwell in. We have no vineyard, field, or seed;
10 Kut mutana in lohm nuknuk, ac kut akos ac oru ma nukewa papa matu tumasr, Jonadab, el sapkin nu sesr.
but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 Tusruktu ke pacl se tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuku mweuni facl se inge, na kut sulela in tuku nu Jerusalem kut in kaingla liki un mwet mweun lun Babylonia ac Syria. Pa inge sripen muta lasr inge.”
But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, we said, ‘Come! Let’s go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we will dwell at Jerusalem.’”
12 Na kas lun LEUM GOD tuku nu sel Jeremiah, fahk ouinge:
Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
13 LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Fahla nu yurin mwet Judah ac elos su muta Jerusalem ac fahk, ‘Efu ku kowos srangesr porongeyu ac akos kas in luti luk?
“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?” says Yahweh.
14 Fwilin tulik natul Jonadab elos akos na sap lal tuh elos in tia nim wain, na oru elos tiana nim nwe misenge. A nga kaskas na kaskas nu suwos, a kowos tiana akosyu.
“The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment; but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and you have not listened to me.
15 Nga tia fuhleak in supu nu yuruwos mwet kulansap nukewa su mwet palu luk, ac elos fahk nu suwos kowos in tui liki ouiyen moul sufal lowos, ac in oru ma suwohs. Elos sensenkakin kowos in tia alu ac kulansupu god saya, tuh kowos in ku in mutana fin facl se nga tuh sang nu sin mwet matu lowos ac oayapa nu suwos. A kowos tiana porongeyu ku lohma nu sik.
I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Every one of you must return now from his evil way, amend your doings, and don’t go after other gods to serve them. Then you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers;’ but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
16 Fwilin tulik natul Rechab elos akos oakwuk ma Jonadab, papa matu tumalos, sang nu selos, a kowos tiana akosyu.
The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to me.”’
17 Ke ma inge, nga LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, ac use nu fowos mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem mwe ongoiya nukewa nga wulela kac. Nga ac oru ma inge ke sripen kowos tiana porongeyu ke nga kaskas nu suwos, ac kowos tia pac topukyu ke nga pang nu suwos.’”
“Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.’”
18 Na nga fahk nu sin mwet in sou lal Rechab, lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Mweyen kowos akos na ma sap lal Jonadab, papa matu tomowos, ac fahsr tukun oakwuk nukewa ma el oakiya nu suwos, ac orala ma nukewa el sapkin nu suwos,
Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,’
19 na pa inge, nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, wulela mu pacl nukewa ac fah oasr na wen se ke fwilin tulik natul Jonadab wen natul Rechab, su fah kulansapweyu.”
therefore Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jonadab the son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before me forever.’”
