Jeremija 35
1 Rijeè koja doðe Jeremiji od Gospoda u vrijeme Joakima sina Josijina cara Judina, govoreæi:
The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the 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 house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the LORD’s house, into one of the rooms, 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.
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, with his brothers, all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
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.
and I brought them into the LORD’s house, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the princes, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
5 I metnuh pred sinove doma Rihavova krèage pune vina, i èaše, pa im rekoh: pijte vino.
I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “Drink 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 drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink no wine, neither you nor your children, 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.
You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, or have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, that you may live many days in the land in which you live as nomads.’
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 the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
9 Ni da gradimo kuæa da u njima živimo, ni da imamo vinograda ni njive ni usjeva.
and not to build houses for ourselves to dwell in. We have no vineyard, field, or seed;
10 Nego živimo u šatorima, i slušamo i èinimo sve kako nam je zapovjedio Jonadav otac naš.
but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father 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 came up into the land, we said, ‘Come! Let’s go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we will dwell at Jerusalem.’”
12 Tada doðe rijeè Gospodnja Jeremiji govoreæi:
Then the LORD’s word 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.
“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?” says the LORD.
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 the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father’s commandment; but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and you have not listened 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 have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Every one of you must return now from his evil way, amend your doings, and don’t go after other gods to serve them. Then you will dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers;’ but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
16 Da, sinovi Jonadava sina Rihavova izvršuju zapovijest oca svojega što im je zapovjedio, a taj narod ne sluša mene.
The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened 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.
“Therefore the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.’”
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 house of the Rechabites, “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,’
19 Zato ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama Bog Izrailjev: neæe nestati Jonadavu sinu Rihavovu èovjeka koji bi stajao preda mnom dovijeka.
therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jonadab the son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before me forever.’”
