Ermiyaas 35
1 Dubbiin bara Yehooyaaqiim ilmi Yosiyaas mootii Yihuudaa turetti Waaqayyo biraa gara Ermiyaas dhufe akkana jedha:
THE word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah 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 unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Anis dhaqeen Yaazaniyaa ilma Ermiyaas, ilma Habazneyaa, obboloota isaatii fi ilmaan isaa hunda jechuunis maatii Rekaabotaa guutuu waame.
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 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 brought them into the house of the Lord, 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 Anis waciitiiwwan daadhii wayiniitiin guutamanii fi xoofoo fuula Rekaabotaa duratti dhiʼeesseen, “Daadhii wayinii kana dhugaa” jedheen.
And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye 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.
But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:
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.’
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 many days in the land where ye be strangers.
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.
Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
9 Yookaan mana keessa jiraannu yookaan wayinii, lafa qotiisaa yookaan midhaan hin qabnu.
Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
10 Nu dunkaana keessa jiraannee waan abbaan keenya Yoonaadaab nu ajaje hunda eegneerra.
But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded 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 it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar 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 Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
12 Ergasii dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Ermiyaas dhufe:
Then came the word of the Lord unto 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 saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith 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, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father’s commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto 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.
I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man 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 unto me.
16 Sanyiin Yehoonaadaab ilma Rekaab ajaja abbaan isaanii isaaniif kenne eeganiiru; sabni kun garuu naaf hin ajajamne.’
Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto 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.’”
Therefore thus saith the Lord 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 pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
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.’
And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
19 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Yoonaadaab ilmi Rekaab gonkumaa nama fuula koo dura dhaabatee na tajaajilu hin dhabu.’”
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
