Jeremia 35
1 Detta är det ord, som af Herranom skedde till Jeremia, i Jojakims, Josia sons, Juda Konungs, tid, och sade:
The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, the king of Judah, saying:
2 Gack bort uti de Rechabiters hus, och tala med dem, och haf dem in uti Herrans hus uti en kammar, och skänk dem vin.
“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 Då tog jag Jaasanja, Jeremia son, Habazinia sons, samt med hans bröder, och alla hans söner, och hela de Rechabiters hus;
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 Och hade dem in uti Herrans hus, uti Hanans barnas, Jigdalja sons, den Guds mansens, kammar, hvilken vid Förstarnas kammar är, ofvanför Maaseja, Sallums sons, dörravaktarens kammar.
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 Och jag satte de Rechabiters hus barnom kannor före, fulla med vin, och skålar, och sade till dem: Dricker vin.
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 Men de svarade: Vi dricke intet vin; ty vår fader Jonadab, Rechabs son, hafver budit oss, och sagt: I och edor barn skolen aldrig något vin dricka;
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 Och intet hus bygga, ingen säd så, ingen vingård plantera, eller hafva; utan skolen bo i tjäll i alla edra lifsdagar; på det I mågen länge lefva i landena, der I uti vandren.
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 Alltså lydom vi vår faders röst, Jonadabs, Rechabs sons, i allt det han oss budit hafver, så att vi intet vin dricke i våra lifsdagar, hvarken vi eller våra hustrur, eller söner, eller döttrar;
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 Och byggom ej heller någor hus, der vi uti bo, och hafvom hvarken vingårdar, eller åkrar, eller säd;
And we do not build houses in which to live. And we do not have vineyard, or field, or seed to sow.
10 Utan bom uti tjäll, och lydom, och görom all ting, såsom vår fader Jonadab oss budit hafver.
Instead, we live in tents, and we have been obedient in accord with all that Jonadab, our father, has instructed us.
11 Men då NebuchadNezar, Konungen i Babel, drog hitupp i landet, sade vi: Kommer, låter oss draga till Jerusalem, för de Chaldeers och Syrers här; och så hafve vi sedan blifvit här i Jerusalem.
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 Då skedde Herrans ord till Jeremia, och sade:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
13 Detta säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Gack bort, och säg till dem i Juda, och till de inbyggare i Jerusalem: Viljen I då icke bättra eder, så att I lyden min ord? säger Herren.
“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 Jonadabs ord, Rechabs sons, som han sinom barnom budit hafver, att de intet vin dricka skulle, de varda hållen, så att de dricka intet vin intill denna dag, derföre att de lyda deras faders bud; men jag hafver tidigt låtit predika eder, likväl hören I mig intet.
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 Så hafver jag ock tidigt sändt till eder alla mina tjenare Propheterna, och låtit säga: Vänder eder om, hvar och en ifrå sitt onda väsende, och bättrer edart lefverne, och efterföljer icke andra gudar, till att tjena dem, så skolen I blifva i landena, som jag eder och edra fäder gifvit hafver; men I villen icke böja edor öron dertill, eller höra mig;
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 Ändock Jonadabs barn, Rechabs sons, sins faders bud hållit hafva, som han dem budit hafver; men detta, folket hörer mig Intet.
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 Derföre så säger Herren Gud Zebaoth, och Israels Gud: Si, jag skall låta komma öfver Juda, och alla Jerusalems inbyggare, all den olycko, som jag emot dem talat hafver; derföre, att jag hafver talat till dem, och de ville intet höra; jag hafver ropat, men de ville intet svara mig.
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 Och till de Rechabiters hus sade Jeremia: Detta säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud; derföre att I edars faders Jonadabs bud lydt hafven, och hållit all hans bud, och allt det gjort, som han eder budit hafver;
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 Derföre säger Herren Zebaoth, Israels Gud, alltså: Det skall aldrig fela Jonadab, Rechabs sone, att ju någor af hans säd alltid för mig stå skall.
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.”
