< Jeremijas 35 >

1 Šis ir tas vārds, kas notika uz Jeremiju no Tā Kunga, Jojaķima, Josijas dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, dienās sacīdams:
[Several years earlier, ] when Jehoiakim was the King of Judah, Yahweh gave me this message:
2 Noej pie Rekabiešiem un runā ar tiem un ved tos Tā Kunga namā, vienā no tiem kambariem, un dod tiem vīnu dzert.
“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 Tad es ņēmu Jaazaniju, Jeremijas dēlu, Habacinijas dēla dēlu, līdz ar viņa brāļiem un visiem viņa dēliem un visu Rekabiešu namu,
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 Un tos vedu Tā Kunga namā Jegdalijas dēla, Dieva vīra Anana dēlu kambarī, kas ir sānis lielkungu kambarim, virs durvju sarga Mazejas, Šaluma dēla, kambara.
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 Un Rekabiešu nama bērniem es cēlu priekšā kausus pilnus ar vīnu un biķerus un uz tiem sacīju: dzeriet vīnu!
I set jugs of wine in front of them and urged them to drink some,
6 Bet tie sacīja: mēs nedzeram vīna, jo Jonadabs, Rekaba dēls, mūsu tēvs, mums pavēlējis un sacījis: jums nebūs vīna dzert, ne jums, ne jūsu bērniem ne mūžam.
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 Un namus jums nebūs taisīt nedz sēklu sēt nedz vīna dārzus dēstīt nedz turēt, bet jums būs teltīs dzīvot visu savu mūžu, ka ilgi dzīvojat tai zemē, kur jūs piemītat.
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 Tad mēs Jonadaba, Rekaba dēla, sava tēva, balsij esam klausījuši visās lietās, ko viņš mums pavēlējis, tā ka mēs vīna savu mūžu nedzeram, ne mēs, ne mūsu sievas, ne mūsu dēli, ne mūsu meitas,
[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 Un ka mēs namus neuztaisam sev par mājokli, arī vīna dārzu mums nav, ne tīruma, ne sējuma;
We have not built houses or planted vineyards or [other] crops or [worked in] fields.
10 Bet mēs mītam teltīs, un klausam un darām visu, ko mums mūsu tēvs Jonadabs pavēlējis.
We have lived in tents. We have obeyed all the commands that Jehonadab, our ancestor, gave us.
11 Bet notikās, kad NebukadNecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, pret šo zemi cēlās, tad mēs sacījām: nāciet, iesim uz Jeruzālemi no Kaldeju kara spēka un no Sīriešu spēka; tā mēs esam apmetušies Jeruzālemē.
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 Tad Tā Kunga vārds notika uz Jeremiju sacīdams:
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 Tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot Israēla Dievs: ej un saki Jūda vīriem un Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem: Vai negribat mācību pieņemt un klausīt Maniem Vārdiem? saka Tas Kungs.
'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 Jonadaba, Nekaba dēla, vārdi tiek pastāvīgi turēti, kas saviem bērniem aizliedzis vīnu dzert, un tie līdz šai dienai nav dzēruši, bet klausījuši sava tēva pavēlei. Bet Es uz jums esmu runājis vienmēr vienā runāšanā, un jūs Man neesat klausījuši.
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 Un Es pie jums esmu sūtījis bez mitas vienā sūtīšanā visus Savus kalpus, tos praviešus, un sacījis: atgriežaties jel ikviens no sava niknā ceļa un dariet labus darbus un nedzenaties citiem dieviem pakaļ, tiem kalpot, tad jūs paliksiet tai zemē, ko esmu devis jums un jūsu tēviem. Bet jūs savas ausis neesat atgriezuši nedz Mani klausījuši.
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 Jonadaba, Rekaba dēla, bērni pastāvīgi ir turējuši sava tēva pavēli, ko viņš pavēlējis, bet šie ļaudis Man neklausa.
The descendants of Jehonadab have obeyed their ancestor, but you have refused to pay attention to what I told you.
17 Tādēļ, tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Dievs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: redzi, Es vedīšu pār Jūdu un pār visiem Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem visu ļaunumu, ko Es pret tiem esmu runājis, tādēļ ka Es uz tiem esmu runājis, bet tie nav klausījuši, Es tos esmu aicinājis, bet tie nav atbildējuši.
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 Un uz Rekabiešu namu Jeremija sacīja: tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: tādēļ ka jūs esat klausījuši Jonadaba, sava tēva, likumam un sargājuši visas viņa pavēles un darījuši visu, ko viņš jums bija pavēlējis,
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 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Jonadabam, Rekaba dēlam, ne mūžam netrūks vīra, kas stavēs Manā priekšā.
Therefore, this is what I say: “There will always be descendants of Jehonadab who will do work for me.”’”
