Jeremiæ 35

1 verbum quod factum est ad Hieremiam a Domino in diebus Ioachim filii Iosiae regis Iuda dicens

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

2 vade ad domum Rechabitarum et loquere eis et introduces eos in domum Domini in unam exedram thesaurorum et dabis eis bibere vinum

'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.'

3 et adsumpsi Iezoniam filium Hieremiae filii Absaniae et fratres eius et omnes filios eius et universam domum Rechabitarum

And I take Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and all the house of the Rechabites,

4 et introduxi eos in domum Domini ad gazofilacium filiorum Anan filii Hiegedeliae hominis Dei quod erat iuxta gazofilacium principum super thesaurum Maasiae filii Sellum qui erat custos vestibuli

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;

5 et posui coram filiis domus Rechabitarum scyphos plenos vino et calices et dixi ad eos bibite vinum

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.

6 qui responderunt non bibemus vinum quia Ionadab filius Rechab pater noster praecepit nobis dicens non bibetis vinum vos et filii vestri usque in sempiternum

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;

7 et domum non aedificabitis et sementem non seretis et vineas non plantabitis nec habebitis sed in tabernaculis habitabitis cunctis diebus vestris ut vivatis diebus multis super faciem terrae in qua vos peregrinamini

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.

8 oboedivimus ergo voci Ionadab filii Rechab patris nostri in omnibus quae praecepit nobis ita ut non biberemus vinum cunctis diebus nostris nos et mulieres nostrae filii et filiae nostrae

'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;

9 et non aedificaremus domos ad habitandum et vineam et agrum et sementem non habuimus

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

10 sed habitavimus in tabernaculis et oboedientes fecimus iuxta omnia quae praecepit nobis Ionadab pater noster

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

11 cum autem ascendisset Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad terram nostram diximus venite et ingrediamur Hierusalem a facie exercitus Chaldeorum et a facie exercitus Syriae et mansimus in Hierusalem

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.'

12 et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam dicens

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

13 haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel vade et dic viris Iuda et habitatoribus Hierusalem numquid non recipietis disciplinam ut oboediatis verbis meis dicit Dominus

'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.

14 praevaluerunt sermones Ionadab filii Rechab quos praecepit filiis suis ut non biberent vinum et non biberunt usque ad diem hanc quia oboedierunt praecepto patris sui ego autem locutus sum ad vos de mane consurgens et loquens et non oboedistis mihi

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.

15 misique ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas consurgens diluculo mittensque et dicens convertimini unusquisque a via sua pessima et bona facite studia vestra et nolite sequi deos alienos neque colatis eos et habitabitis in terra quam dedi vobis et patribus vestris et non inclinastis aurem vestram neque audistis me

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.

16 firmaverunt igitur filii Ionadab filii Rechab praeceptum patris sui quod praeceperat eis populus autem iste non oboedivit mihi

'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,

17 idcirco haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel ecce ego adduco super Iudam et super omnes habitatores Hierusalem universam adflictionem quam locutus sum adversum eos eo quod locutus sum ad illos et non audierunt vocavi illos et non responderunt mihi

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.'

18 domui autem Rechabitarum dixit Hieremias haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel pro eo quod oboedistis praecepto Ionadab patris vestri et custodistis omnia mandata eius et fecistis universa quae praecepit vobis

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;

19 propterea haec dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israhel non deficiet vir de stirpe Ionadab filii Rechab stans in conspectu meo cunctis diebus

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.'
