< Jeremias 35 >

1 Palavra que veio do SENHOR a Jeremias nos dias de Jeoaquim filho de Josias, rei de Judá, dizendo:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying:
2 Vai à casa dos recabitas, e fala com eles, e leva-os à casa do SENHOR, a uma das câmaras; e dá-lhes de beber vinho.
“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 Tomei então a Jazanias filho de Jeremias, filho de Habazinias, e a seus irmãos, e a todos os seus filhos, e todos da casa dos recabitas;
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 E os levei à casa do SENHOR, à câmara dos filhos de Hanã, filho de Jigdalias, homem de Deus, a qual estava junto à câmara dos príncipes, que é acima da câmara de Maaseias filho de Salum, guarda da porta.
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 E pus diante dos filhos da casa dos recabitas taças e copos cheios de vinho, e disse-lhes: Bebei vinho.
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 Porém eles disseram: Não beberemos vinho; porque Jonadabe filho de Recabe, nosso pai, nos mandou, dizendo: Nunca bebereis vinho, nem vós nem vossos filhos;
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 Nem edificareis casa, nem semeareis semente, nem plantareis vinha, nem a tereis; em vez disso habitareis em tendas todos os vossos dias, para que vivais muitos dias sobre a face da terra onde vós peregrinais.
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 E nós temos obedecido à voz de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, nosso pai; em tudo quanto ele nos mandou, de maneira que não bebemos vinho em todos os nossos dias, nós, nem nossas mulheres, nossos filhos, e nossas filhas;
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 Nem edificamos casas para nossa habitação; nem temos vinha, nem campo, nem sementeira.
And we do not build houses in which to live. And we do not have vineyard, or field, or seed to sow.
10 E habitamos em tendas, e [assim] temos obedecido e feito conforme a tudo quanto nos mandou Jonadabe nosso pai.
Instead, we live in tents, and we have been obedient in accord with all that Jonadab, our father, has instructed us.
11 Sucedeu, porém, que quando Nabucodonosor rei de Babilônia subiu a esta terra, dissemos: Vinde, e vamos a Jerusalém, por causa do exército dos caldeus e por causa do exército dos sírios; e [assim] ficamos em Jerusalém.
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 Então veio a palavra do SENHOR a Jeremias, dizendo:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
13 Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Vai, e dize aos homens de Judá, e aos moradores de Jerusalém: Por acaso nunca aceitareis ensino para obedecer a minhas palavras? Diz o SENHOR.
“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 As palavras de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, que mandou a seus filhos que não bebessem vinho, foram obedecidas; pois não o beberam até hoje, por terem ouvido ao mandamento de seu pai; e eu vos tenho falado, insistindo em falar, mas vós não me ouvistes.
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 E enviei a vós a todos os meus servos, os profetas, insistindo em enviá-los, para dizerem: Convertei-vos agora cada um de seu mal caminho, e fazei boas as vossas ações, e não sigais a outros deuses para lhes servi-los, e assim vivereis na terra que dei a vós e a vossos pais; porém não inclinastes vossos ouvidos, nem me obedecestes.
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 Dado que os filhos de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, guardaram o mandamento de seu pai que lhes mandou, mas este povo não me tem obedece,
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 Portanto assim diz o SENHOR Deus dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Eis que eu trarei sobre Judá e sobre todos os moradores de Jerusalém todo o mal que falei contra eles; pois eu lhes falei, mas não ouviram; eu os chamei, mas não responderam.
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 E disse Jeremias aos da casa dos recabitas: Assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Por obedecerdes ao mandamento de Jonadabe vosso pai, e guardardes todos os seus mandamentos, e fizerdes conforme a tudo quanto ele vos mandou,
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 Portanto, assim diz o SENHOR dos exércitos, Deus de Israel: Nunca faltará homem [da descendência] de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, que esteja diante de minha presença, todos os dias.
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.”
