Jeremia 35
1 Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’ Iirmeà tañ’andro’ Iehoiakime ana’ Iosia, mpanjaka’ Iehodà, manao ty hoe:
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, 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 to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give 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 Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, 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 brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah, 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 pots full of wine and cups, and I said to them, “Drink ye 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, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, ye nor your sons, forever;
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.
neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live long in the land wherein ye are strangers.
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 obeyed the voice of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, neither we, nor our wives, nor our sons, nor our daughters;
9 Aa le tsy namboatse anjomba himoneña’ay zahay, tsy aman-tanem-bahe ndra teteke ndra tabiry;
nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor 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 according to all that Jonadab, the son of Rechab, 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 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldaeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we dwell at Jerusalem.”
12 Aa le hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’Iirmeà:
Then came the word of Jehovah to 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 saith Jehovah 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 Jehovah.
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.
The words of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, in which he commanded his sons not to drink wine, have been performed; for they have drunk no wine to this day, but have obeyed the commandment of their father. I also have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, but ye have not hearkened to 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 to you all my servants, the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every one from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers; but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.
16 Toe nihenefe’ o ana’ Ionadabe ana’ i Rekabe ty fetse nafen-drae’ iareo ama’e, fe tsy nañaoñe ahy ondaty retoañe;
Since then the sons of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, and this people have not hearkened to 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 saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil which I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, and they have not hearkened, and I have called to them, and they have not answered.
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 to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab, your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all which he 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 saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: There shall not fail in the land of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, men to stand before me forever.
