Jeremia 35

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

The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —in the days of Jehoiakim 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 unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Yahweh, 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.

So I took Jaazaniah, son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, —and all the 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 Yahweh, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, —which was beside the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum keeper of the porch;

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 bowls full of wine, and cups, —and said unto 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;

Then said they, —We will not drink wine, —for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, laid command upon us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, ye, nor your sons, unto times age-abiding;

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 house, shall ye build nor, seed, shall ye sow, nor vineyard, shall ye plant, neither shall ye have them, —but in tents, shall ye dwell, all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the soil where ye are sojourning.

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.

So we have hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab, son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, —not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons nor 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 us to dwell in, —and so, vineyard or field or seed, have we none;

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

but we have dwelt in tents, —and have hearkened and done, according to 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.

And so it came to pass when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, —Let us even enter, Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans and because of the force of the Syrians: So have we dwelt in Jerusalem.

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

Then came the word of Yahweh 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —Will ye not receive correction by hearkening unto my words? Demandeth Yahweh:

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.

Confirmed are the words of Jonadab son of Rechab—which he commanded his sons that they should not drink, wine, and they have not drunk until this day, for they have hearkened unto the command of their father, But, I, have spoken unto you, betimes, speaking, and 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 sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes, sending, saying, Return I pray you—every man from his wicked way, And amend your doings, And do not go after other gods to serve them, So shall ye remain on the soil which I gave to you, and to your fathers, —but ye have not inclined your ear, nor 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 Jonadab son of Rechab have, confirmed, the commandment of their father which he commanded them, —whereas, 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, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the calamity, which I have spoken concerning them, —Because I spake unto them and they did not hearken, And I called to them and they did 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;

But to the house of the Rechabites, said Jeremiah: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Because ye have hearkened unto the commandment of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, and done according to all that 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —Jonadab son of Rechab shall not want one to stand before me, all the days!
