Ermiyaas 35
1 Dubbiin bara Yehooyaaqiim ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa turetti Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe akkana jedha:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying:
2 “Gara mana Rekaabotaa dhaqiitii gara mana Waaqayyootti isaan waami; kutaa manaa tokkotti ol isaan galchiitii akka dhuganiif daadhii wayinii kenniif.”
“Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and lead them into the house of the Lord, into one of the halls of the treasuries. And you shall give them wine to drink.”
3 Anis dhaqeen Yaazaniyaa ilma Ermiyaas, ilma Habazneyaa, obboloota isaatii fi ilmaan isaa hunda jechuunis maatii Rekaabotaa guutuu waame.
And so I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the entire house of the Rechabites,
4 Anis gara mana Waaqayyootti isaan fidee kutaa mana ilmaan Haanaan ilma Yigdaaliyaa nama Waaqaa sanaatti ol galche. Kutaan sunis kutaa qondaaltotaa kan kutaa Maʼaseyaa ilma Shaluum namicha balbala eegu sanaatii ol jirutti aana ture.
and I led them into the house of the Lord, to the treasury of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was near the treasury of the princes, above the storehouse of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, who was the guardian of the entrance.
5 Anis waciitiiwwan daadhii wayiniitiin guutamanii fi xoofoo fuula Rekaabotaa duratti dhiʼeesseen, “Daadhii wayinii kana dhugaa” jedheen.
And I placed before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls filled with wine, and chalices. And I said to them, “Drink wine.”
6 Isaan garuu akkana jedhanii deebisan: “Nu sababii abbaan keenya Yoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab akkana jedhee nu ajajeef daadhii wayinii hin dhugnu: ‘Isin yookaan sanyiin keessan gonkumaa daadhii wayinii hin dhuginaa.
And they responded: “We will not drink wine. For Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, instructed us, saying: ‘You shall not drink wine, you and your sons, in perpetuity.
7 Akkasumas isin mana ijaarrachuu, sanyii facaafachuu yookaan wayinii dhaabbachuu hin qabdan; isin yeroo hunda dunkaanota keessa jiraachuu qabdu malee waan kanneen keessaa tokko illee qabaachuu hin qabdan. Yoos isin biyya itti keessummaa taatan keessa bara dheeraa ni jiraattu.’
And you shall not build houses, and you shall not sow any seeds, and you shall not plant or have vineyards. Instead, you shall live in tents all your days, so that you may live many days upon the face of the earth, in which you are sojourners.’
8 Nu waan abbaan keenya Yehoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab nu ajaje hunda eegneerra. Nu yookaan niitonni keenya yookaan ilmaanii fi intallan keenya daadhii wayinii hin dhugne.
Therefore, we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he has commanded us, so that we do not drink wine all our days, we and our wives, our sons and daughters.
9 Yookaan mana keessa jiraannu yookaan wayinii, lafa qotiisaa yookaan midhaan hin qabnu.
And we do not build houses in which to live. And we do not have vineyard, or field, or seed to sow.
10 Nu dunkaana keessa jiraannee waan abbaan keenya Yoonaadaab nu ajaje hunda eegneerra.
Instead, we live in tents, and we have been obedient in accord with all that Jonadab, our father, has instructed us.
11 Garuu yeroo Nebukadnezar mootichi Baabilon biyya kana qabatetti nu, ‘Kottaa; nu Baabilonotaa fi loltoota Sooriyaa duraa baqannee Yerusaalemitti galuu qabna’ waliin jenne. Akkasiinis nu Yerusaalem keessatti hafne.”
But when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, had ascended to our land, we said: ‘Come and let us enter into Jerusalem, before the face of the army of the Chaldeans, and before the face of the army of Syria.’ And we have remained in Jerusalem.”
12 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
13 “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Dhaqiitii namoota Yihuudaatii fi saba Yerusaalemiin ‘Isin gorsa koo fudhattanii naaf hin ajajamtanii?’ jedhi, jedha Waaqayyo.
“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Will you not accept discipline, so that you obey my words, says the Lord?
14 ‘Yehoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab akka ilmaan isaa daadhii wayinii hin dhugne ajaje; ajajni kunis eegameera. Isaan sababii ajaja abbaa isaanii eeganiif hamma harʼaatti daadhii wayinii hin dhugan. Ani garuu ammumaa amma isinitti dubbadheera; isin immoo naaf hin ajajamne.
The words of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, in which he instructed his sons, so that they would not drink wine, have prevailed. And they have not drunk wine, even to this day. For they have obeyed the instruction of their father. But I have spoken to you, rising and speaking from early morning, and you did not obey me.
15 Ani tajaajiltoota koo raajota hunda ammumaa amma isinitti erge. Isaan akkana isiniin jedhan; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan karaa keessan hamaa sana irraa deebitanii hojii keessan qajeelfachuu qabdu. Isaan tajaajiluuf jettanii waaqota biraa duukaa hin buʼinaa. Yoos isin biyya ani isinii fi abbootii keessaniif kenne keessa ni jiraattu.” Isin gurra keessan naaf hin kennine, yookaan na hin dhaggeeffanne.
And I have sent to you all my servants, the prophets, rising at first light, and sending, and saying: ‘Convert, each one from his wicked way, and make your intentions good. And do not choose to follow strange gods, nor shall you worship them. And then you shall live in the land which I gave to you and to your fathers.’ And yet you have not inclined your ear, and you have not heeded me.
16 Sanyiin Yehoonaadaab ilma Rekaab ajaja abbaan isaanii isaaniif kenne eeganiiru; sabni kun garuu naaf hin ajajamne.’
So the sons of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have remained firm in the commandment of their father, which he instructed to them, while this people has not been obedient to me.
17 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Dhaggeeffadhaa! Ani Yihuudaattii fi nama Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu hundatti balaa nan fida jedhee labse sana hunda nan fida. Ani isaanitti dubbadheen ture; isaan garuu hin dhaggeeffanne. Ani isaan waameen ture; isaan garuu hin owwaanne.’”
For this reason, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead over Judah and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every evil that I have declared against them. For I have spoken to them, and they have not listened. I have called to them, and they have not responded to me.”
18 Ermiyaasis maatii Rekaabotaatiin akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Isin ajaja abbaa keessan Yehoonaadaab eegdanii gorsa isaa hunda illee duukaa buutaniirtu; waan inni isin ajaje hundas hojjettaniirtu.’
Then Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites: “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab, your father, and have kept all his precepts, and have done all that he has instructed you,
19 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Yoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab gonkumaa nama fuula koo dura dhaabatee na tajaajilu hin dhabu.’”
because of this, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: There will not be a man lacking from the stock of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, standing in my sight, for all days.”
