Jeremia 35

1 Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’ Iirmeà tañ’andro’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, manao ty hoe:

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, [in] the days of Jehoyakim the son of Josiah the king of Judah, saying,

2 Akia mb’ añ’ anjomba’ o nte-Rekao mb’eo naho isaontsio, vaho endeso mb’añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà ao, añ’efe’e raik’ ao, vaho anjotsò divay hikama’ iareo.

Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and offer them wine to drink.

3 Aa le nendeseko t’Iaazanià ana’ Iirmeà, ana’ i Habazinia, naho o roahalahi’eo rekets’ o ana’e iabio, vaho ty haampon’ anjomba’ o nte-Rekao.

Then I took Yaazanyah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Chabazzinyah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

4 Le nampihovaeko añ’an­jomba’ Iehovà ao, añ’efe’ o ana’ i Kanàne ana’ Igdalia ondatin’ Añahareo, marine’ ty efe’ o roandriañeo, ambone’ ty efe’ i Maaseià, ana’ i Salome, mpiamben-dalañe;

And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Chanan, the son of Yigdalyahu, the man of God, which was alongside of the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Ma'aseyahu the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

5 naho nazo­tsoko aolo’ o anak’ anjomba’ i Rekàbeo ty korobo naho fitiheke, vaho nanoeko ty hoe: Mikamà divay.

And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups; and I said unto them, Drink wine.

6 Fa hoe ty lie’ iereo, Tsy hikama divay zahay ty amy nafè’ Ionadabe ana’ i Rekabe rae’ay ama’aiy, ty hoe: Tsy hikama divay nahareo, inahareo naho o ana’ areo kitro katrokeo;

But they said, We will not drink wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father hath laid a charge on us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever;

7 vaho ko mañoreñe anjomba ndra mitongy tabiry, ko mambole vahe, naho ko atao hanañañe izay; fa himoneñe an-kibohotse amo fonga andro hiaiña’ areoo, soa t’ie hitoboke andro maro an-tanem-pañialoa’areo ao.

Nor shall ye build any house, nor sow seed, nor plant a vineyard, nor have [any such]; but in tents shall ye dwell all your days, in order that ye may live many days on the face of the land where ye may sojourn.

8 Le nihaoñe’ay ty fiarañanaña’ Ionadabe ana’ i Rekabe rae’ay amo nafe’e anay iabio, te tsy hinon-divay amo hene andro’aio izahay naho o vali’aio, naho o ana’aio, vaho o anak’ ampela’aio.

And we have hearkened unto the voice of Jehonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, not to drink any wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;

9 Aa le tsy namboatse anjomba himoneña’ay zahay, tsy aman-tanem-bahe ndra teteke ndra tabiry;

And not to build houses for our dwelling: and we never had any vineyard, or field, or seed;

10 f’ie mpitobok’ an-kibohotse ao, naho mañaoñe vaho mitoloñe o nafe’ Ionadabe rae’aio.

But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done in accordance with all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

11 Aa ie nionjoñe haname an-tane atoy t’i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele, le hoe zahay: Antao hionjoñe mb’e Ierosalaime ao, aolo’ o lahindefon-te-Kasdio naho aolo’ o nte-Arameo; aa le mimo­neñe e Ierosalaime atoan-jahay.

But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go into Jerusalem because of the army of the Chaldeans, and because of the army of the Syrians; and so we dwell at Jerusalem.

12 Aa le hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’Iirmeà:

Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

13 Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Akia mb’ am’ ondati’ Iehodao naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo, le ano ty hoe: Tsy hitsendreñe hilala hao nahareo hañaoñe o volakoo? hoe t’Iehovà.

Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.

14 Ty nafè’ Iona­dabe ana’ i Rekabe, amo ana’eo, ty tsy hikama divay, le fa ambenañe, vaho tsy ikama’ iareo pake henane, amy t’ie mañoñe ty fetsen-drae’ iareo; fe nitaroñeko mañampitso am-pitaroñañe nahareo fe tsy nijanjiñe ahy.

Fulfilled are the words of Jehonadab the son of Rechab, that he hath commanded his sons not to drink wine: and they have not drunk any even unto this day; because they have obeyed the commandment of their father; but I, I have spoken unto you, early in the day and speaking; but ye have not hearkened unto me.

15 Le niraheko ama’ areo ka o mpitoky mpitoroko iabio, nampihitrifeko handro nanao ty hoe: Songa mimpolia amo sata’ rati’eo ondatio, naho ahitio o fitoloña’ areoo, naho ko mañorin-drahare ila’e ho toroñeñe, soa te himoneña’ areo ty tane natoloko ama’areo naho aman-droae’ areo toy; f’ie tsy nanokilan-dravembia, tsy nañaoñ’ ahy.

And I have sent unto you all my servants the prophets, making them rise up early and sending them, saying, Do but return every man from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and go not after other gods to serve them: and so shall ye remain in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers; but ye have not inclined your ear, and have not hearkened unto me.

16 Toe nihenefe’ o ana’ Ionadabe ana’ i Rekabe ty fetse nafen-drae’ iareo ama’e, fe tsy nañaoñe ahy ondaty retoañe;

Because the sons of Jehonadab the son of Rechab have fulfilled the commandment of their father, which he hath commanded them; but as this people have not hearkened unto me:

17 aa le hoe t’Iehovà, i Andria­nañahare’ i màroiy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Ingo te hafetsako am’Iehodà naho amo mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo ze fonga hekoheko tsineiko am’iereo; amy t’ie nivolañeko, f’ie tsy nijanjiñe, kinoiko fe tsy nanoiñe.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have spoken concerning them; because I spoke unto them, but they would not hear; and I called unto them, but they would not answer.

18 Le hoe t’Iirmeà amy anjomba’ o nte Rekabeo: Hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Amy te nihaoñe’ areo ty saontsin-drae’ areo Ionadabe, vaho nambena’ areo o fañè’e iabio, vaho nanoe’ areo ze hene nandilia’e;

And unto the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Whereas ye have hearkened to the charge of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and have done in accordance with all that he hath commanded you:

19 le hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, i Andrianañahare’ Israeley: Tsy haitoañe am’ Ionadabe, ana’ i Rekabe, ty lahilahy hijohañe añatrefako nainai’e donia.

Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, There shall not be wanting unto Jehonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before me at all times.
