< Jeremija 35 >
1 Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda u vrijeme Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina, govoreæi:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2 Idi k domu sinova Rihavovijeh i govori s njima, te ih dovedi u dom Gospodnji, u koju klijet, i podaj im vina neka piju.
“Go to the family of the Rekabites and speak with them. Then bring them to my house, into one of the rooms there, and give them wine to drink.”
3 Tada uzeh Jazaniju sina Jeremije sina Hovasijina i braæu njegovu i sve sinove i sav dom sinova Rihavovijeh.
So I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah and his brothers, all his sons, and all the family of the Rekabites.
4 I dovedoh ih u dom Gospodnji, u klijet sinova Anana sina Igdalijina èovjeka Božijega, koja je do klijeti knezovske, nad klijeæu Masije sina Salumova, vratara.
I took them to the house of Yahweh, into the rooms of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, the man of God. These rooms were beside the room of the leaders, which was above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the gatekeeper.
5 I metnuh pred sinove doma Rihavova krèage pune vina, i èaše, pa im rekoh: pijte vino.
Then I placed bowls and cups full of wine in front of the Rekabites and said to them, “Drink some wine.”
6 A oni rekoše: neæemo piti vina, jer Jonadav, sin Rihavov, otac naš zabranio nam je rekavši: ne pijte vina, ni vi ni sinovi vaši dovijeka;
But they said, “We will not drink any wine, for our ancestor, Jonadab son of Rekab, commanded us, 'Do not drink any wine, neither you nor your descendants, forever.
7 I kuæe ne gradite, ni sjemena sijte, ni vinograda sadite niti ga držite, nego u šatorima živite svega vijeka svojega, da biste dugo živjeli na zemlji, gdje ste došljaci.
Also, do not build any houses, sow any seeds, or plant any vineyards; this is not for you. For you must live in tents all your days, so that you might live many days in the land where you are staying as foreigners.'
8 I poslušasmo glas Jonadava sina Rihavova oca svojega u svemu što nam zapovjedi da ne pijemo vina svega vijeka svojega, ni mi ni naše žene, ni sinovi naši ni kæeri naše,
We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab son of Rekab, our ancestor, in all that he commanded us, to never drink wine all of our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters.
9 Ni da gradimo kuæa da u njima živimo, ni da imamo vinograda ni njive ni usjeva.
We will never build houses to live in, and there will be no vineyard, field, or seed in our possession.
10 Nego živimo u šatorima, i slušamo i èinimo sve kako nam je zapovjedio Jonadav otac naš.
We have lived in tents and we have obeyed and done all that Jonadab our ancestor commanded us.
11 A kad doðe Navuhodonosor car Vavilonski u ovu zemlju, rekosmo: hajde da otidemo u Jerusalim ispred vojske Haldejske i vojske Sirske; i tako ostasmo u Jerusalimu.
But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon attacked the land, we said, 'Come, we must go to Jerusalem to escape from the Chaldean and Aramean armies.' So we are living in Jerusalem.”
12 Tada doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji govoreæi:
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
13 Ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: idi reci Judejcima i Jerusalimljanima: zar neæete da primite nauke da slušate rijeèi moje? govori Gospod.
“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'Go and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive correction and listen to my words? —this is Yahweh's declaration.
14 Izvršuju se rijeèi Jonadava sina Rihavova, koji zabrani sinovima svojim da ne piju vina, i ne piju vina do danas, nego slušaju zapovijest oca svojega; a ja vam govorih zarana jednako, a vi me ne poslušaste.
The words of Jonadab son of Rekab that he gave to his sons as a command, not to drink any wine, have been observed to this very day. They have obeyed their ancestor's command. But as for me, I myself have been making persistent proclamations to you, but you do not listen to me.
15 I slah k vama sve sluge svoje proroke zarana jednako govoreæi: vratite se svaki sa svoga puta zloga, i popravite djela svoja i ne idite za drugim bogovima služeæi im, pak æete ostati u zemlji koju sam dao vama i ocima vašim, ali ne prignuste uha svojega niti me poslušaste.
I sent out to you all my servants, the prophets. I was persistent in sending them to say, 'Let each person turn from his wicked way and do good deeds; let no one walk any longer after other gods and worship them. Instead, come back to the land that I gave to you and your ancestors.' Yet you will not listen to me or pay attention to me.
16 Da, sinovi Jonadava sina Rihavova izvršuju zapovijest oca svojega što im je zapovjedio, a taj narod ne sluša mene.
For the descendants of Jonadab son of Rekab have observed the commands of their ancestor that he gave them, but this people refuses to listen to me.”'
17 Zato ovako veli Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev: evo, ja æu pustiti na Judu i na sve stanovnike Jerusalimske sve zlo što izrekoh za njih; jer im govorih a oni ne poslušaše, i zvah ih a oni se ne odazvaše.
So Yahweh, God of hosts and God of Israel, says this, 'Look, I am bringing upon Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem, all the disasters I pronounced against them because I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.'”
18 A porodici Rihavovoj reèe Jeremija: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: što slušate zapovijest Jonadava oca svojega i držite sve zapovijesti njegove i èinite sve kako vam je zapovjedio,
Jeremiah said to the family of the Rekabites, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this: You have listened to the commands of Jonadab your ancestor and have kept them all—you have obeyed all that he commanded you to do—
19 Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: neæe nestati Jonadavu sinu Rihavovu èovjeka koji bi stajao preda mnom dovijeka.
so Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'There will always be someone descended from Jonadab son of Rekab to serve me.'”
