Jeremia 35

1 Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanao hoe:

The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

2 Mankanesa any amin’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba, ary mitenena aminy, dia ampidiro ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, ao amin’ ny efi-trano anankiray, izy, ka omeo divay hosotroiny.

“Go to the family of the Rekabites and speak with them. Then bring them to my house, into one of the rooms there, and give them wine to drink.”

3 Dia nalaiko Jazania, zanak’ i Jeremia, zanak’ i Habazinia, sy ny rahalahiny sy ny zanany rehetra mbamin’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba rehetra,

So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah and his brothers, all his sons, and all the family of the Rekabites.

4 ka nampidiriko ho ao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy, dia tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ ny taranak’ i Hanana zanak’ i Jigdalia, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, izay ao anilan’ ny efi-tranon’ ny mpanapaka, ao ambonin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Mahaseia, zanak’ i Saloma, mpiandry varavarana.

I took them to the house of Yahweh, into the rooms of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, the man of God. These rooms were beside the room of the leaders, which was above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the gatekeeper.

5 Ary norosoako kapoaka sy siny feno divay teo anoloan’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba ka nolazaiko taminy hoe: Misotroa divay ianareo.

Then I placed bowls and cups full of wine in front of the Rekabites and said to them, “Drink some wine.”

6 Fa hoy kosa ireo: Tsy hisotro divay izahay; fa Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, razanay efa nafatra anay hoe: Aza mba misotro divay ianareo na ny taranakareo mandrakizay;

But they said, “We will not drink any wine, for our ancestor, Jonadab son of Rekab, commanded us, 'Do not drink any wine, neither you nor your descendants, forever.

7 ary aza manao trano ianareo, na mamafy voan-javatra, na manao tanim-boaloboka, na mety hanana izany akory, fa lay no itoeronareo amin’ ny andronareo rehetra, mba ho ela velona ianareo amin’ ny tany izay ivahinianareo.

Also, do not build any houses, sow any seeds, or plant any vineyards; this is not for you. For you must live in tents all your days, so that you might live many days in the land where you are staying as foreigners.'

8 Dia nankatoavinay izany tenin’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, razanay izany tamin’ izay rehetra nanafarany anay, mba tsy hisotro divay amin’ ny andronay rehetra, na izahay na ny vadinay, na ny zanakai-lahy, na ny zanakai-vavy;

We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab son of Rekab, our ancestor, in all that he commanded us, to never drink wine all of our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters.

9 ary tsy hanao trano hitoeranay, na hanana tanimboly, na saha, na voan-javatra izahay;

We will never build houses to live in, and there will be no vineyard, field, or seed in our possession.

10 fa efa nitoetra an-day izahay araka izay rehetra nanafaran’ i Jonadaba razanay anay.

We have lived in tents and we have obeyed and done all that Jonadab our ancestor commanded us.

11 Fa raha nananika ny tany Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona. Dia hoy izahay: Andeha isika hankany Jerosalema handositra ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana sy ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana, ka dia izany no itoerany eto Jerosalema.

But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked the land, we said, 'Come, we must go to Jerusalem to escape from the Chaldean and Aramean armies.' So we are living in Jerusalem.”

12 Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:

Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,

13 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Andeha, lazao amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema hoe: Tsy hino anatra hitandrina ny teniko va ianareo? hoy Jehovah.

“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive correction and listen to my words? —this is Yahweh's declaration.

14 To ny tenin’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, izay nanafarany ny zanany tsy hisotro divay, fa tsy misotro tokoa izy mandraka androany, fa mahatana ny hafa-drazany, ary Izaho efa niteny taminareo, eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka niteny, nefa tsy nihaino ianareo.

The words of Jonadab son of Rekab that he gave to his sons as a command, not to drink any wine, have been observed to this very day. They have obeyed their ancestor's command. But as for me, I myself have been making persistent proclamations to you, but you do not listen to me.

15 Nirahiko taminareo koa ny mpaminany mpanompoko rehetra, eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka naniraka azy hanao hoe: Samia miala amin’ ny lalanareo ratsy ianareo ankehitriny, ary ataovy tsara ny ataonareo, ary aza manaraka andriamani-kafa hanompo azy, dia honina amin’ ny tany izay nomeko anareo sy ny razanareo ianareo nefa tsy nanongilana ny sofinareo na nihaino Ahy ianareo.

I sent out to you all my servants, the prophets. I was persistent in sending them to say, 'Let each person turn from his wicked way and do good deeds; let no one walk any longer after other gods and worship them. Instead, come back to the land that I gave to you and your ancestors.' Yet you will not listen to me or pay attention to me.

16 Eny, nankatoavin’ ny zanak’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, ny hafa-drazany, izay nanafarany azy; fa ity firenena ity kosa tsy mba nihaino Ahy.

For the descendants of Jonadab son of Rekab have observed the commands of their ancestor that he gave them, but this people refuses to listen to me.”'

17 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely Indro, hataoko mihatra amin’ ny Joda sy ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema ny loza rehetra izay nolazaiko hatao aminy, satria efa niteny taminy Aho, fa tsy nihaino izy, ary niantso azy Aho, fa tsy namaly izy.

So Yahweh, God of hosts and God of Israel, says this, 'Look, I am bringing upon Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem, all the disasters I pronounced against them because I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.'”

18 Ary ny taranak’ i Rekaba dia nilazan’ i Jeremia hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Noho ny nahatananareo ny hafatr’ i Jonadaba razanareo sy ny nitandremanareo ny hafany rehetra ary ny nanaovanareo araka izay rehetra nanafarany anareo,

Jeremiah said to the family of the Rekabites, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: You have listened to the commands of Jonadab your ancestor and have kept them all—you have obeyed all that he commanded you to do—

19 dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, tsy ho diso zanakalahy hitsangana eo anatrehako mandrakizay.

so Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'There will always be someone descended from Jonadab son of Rekab to serve me.'”
