Jeremiah 35
1 Ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó tọ Jeremiah wá láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ní ọjọ́ Jehoiakimu ọmọ Josiah ọba Juda wí pé:
This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord during the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
2 “Lọ sí ilé àwọn ọmọ Rekabu, kí o sì bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀, kí o sì mú wọn wá sí ilé Olúwa, sí ọ̀kan nínú iyàrá wọ̀n-ọn-nì, kí o sì fún wọn ní ọtí wáìnì mu.”
Go to where the Rechabites live. Invite them to come with you to one of the rooms in the Lord's Temple and offer them wine to drink.
3 Nígbà náà ni mo mu Jaaṣaniah ọmọ Jeremiah, ọmọ Habasiniah àti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀; àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, àti gbogbo ilé àwọn ọmọ Rekabu.
So I went to visit Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the whole Rechabite family.
4 Mo sì mú wọn wá sí ilé Olúwa sínú iyàrá Hanani ọmọ Igdaliah, ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, tí ó wà lẹ́bàá yàrá àwọn ìjòyè, tí ó wà ní òkè yàrá Maaseiah, ọmọ Ṣallumu olùtọ́jú ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
Then I took them into the Lord's Temple, to a room used by the sons of Hanan, son of Igdaliah, a man of God. It was next to the one used by the officials, which was above the room of Maaseiah son of Shallum, who was the Temple doorkeeper.
5 Mo sì gbé ìkòkò tí ó kún fún ọtí wáìnì pẹ̀lú ago ka iwájú àwọn ọmọ Rekabu. Mo sì wí fún wọn pé, “Mu ọtí wáìnì.”
I placed some jugs full of wine and some cups before the Rechabites and told them, “Have some wine to drink.”
6 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n wí pé, “Àwa kì yóò mu ọtí wáìnì nítorí Jonadabu ọmọ Rekabu, baba wa pàṣẹ fún wa pé: ‘Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ mu ọtí wáìnì ẹ̀yin àti àwọn ọmọ yín láéláé.
“We don't drink wine,” they said, “because our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab gave us these orders: ‘You and your descendants must never drink wine.
7 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ kọ́ ilé tàbí kí ẹ fúnrúgbìn, tàbí kí ẹ gbin ọgbà àjàrà. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ ní ọ̀kankan nínú àwọn ohun wọ̀nyí, ṣùgbọ́n ní gbogbo ọjọ́ yín ni ẹ̀yin ó máa gbé inú àgọ́; kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè wá ní ọjọ́ púpọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ náà; níbi tí ẹ̀yin ti ń ṣe àtìpó.’
Don't ever build houses or sow crops or plant vineyards. You're not to do this. Instead, you are to always live in tents so that you may have long lives as you move from place to place in the country.’
8 Báyìí ni àwa gba ohùn Jehonadabu ọmọ Rekabu baba wa gbọ́ nínú gbogbo èyí tí ó pàṣẹ fún wa, kí a má mu ọtí wáìnì ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé wa; àwa, àwọn aya wa, àwọn ọmọkùnrin wa, àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wa.
We have done exactly what our forefather Jonadab son of Rechab told us. None of us have ever drunk wine, and that includes our wives and our sons and daughters as well as us.
9 Àti kí a má kọ́ ilé láti gbé; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa kò ní ọgbà àjàrà tàbí oko, tàbí ohun ọ̀gbìn.
We haven't built houses to live in, and we haven't had any vineyards or fields or grown any crops.
10 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa ń gbé inú àgọ́, a sì gbọ́rọ̀, a sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo èyí tí Jonadabu baba wa pàṣẹ fún wa.
We've lived in tents and have obeyed our forefather Jonadab, following everything he ordered us to do.
11 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli gòkè wá sí ilẹ̀ náà; àwa wí pé, ‘Ẹ wá, ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ sí Jerusalẹmu, nítorí ìbẹ̀rù ogun àwọn ara Siria.’ Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa sì ń gbé Jerusalẹmu.”
So when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded the country we decided, ‘Come on, let's go into Jerusalem to be safe from the armies of the Chaldeans, Babylonians, and Arameans.’ That's why we've stayed in Jerusalem.”
12 Nígbà yìí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tọ Jeremiah wá wí pé:
Then a message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
13 “Báyìí ní Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé, lọ, kí o sì sọ fún àwọn ọkùnrin Juda, àti àwọn olùgbé Jerusalẹmu pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin kì yóò ha gba ẹ̀kọ́ láti fetí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi,’ ni Olúwa wí.
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem: Why don't you accept my instructions and obey what I tell you? the Lord asks.
14 ‘Ọ̀rọ̀ Jehonadabu ọmọ Rekabu tí ó pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé wọn kò gbọdọ̀ mu ọtí wáìnì, ni a mú ṣẹ, wọn kò sì mu ọtí wáìnì títí di òní yìí, nítorí tí wọ́n gba òfin baba wọn. Èmi sì ti ń sọ̀rọ̀ fún un yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò fetí sí mi.
The instructions of Jonadab son of Rechab have been followed. He ordered his descendants not to drink wine, and they have not drunk it to this day because they have obeyed their forefather's command. But I have told you what to do time and again, and yet you refuse to obey me!
15 Èmi rán gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ àti àwọn wòlíì mí sí yín pẹ̀lú wí pé, “Ẹ yípadà nísinsin yìí kúrò ní ọ̀nà búburú yín, kí ẹ sì tún ìṣe yín ṣe sí rere. Kí ẹ ma sì ṣe bọ òrìṣà tàbí sìn wọ́n; ẹ̀yin ó sì máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ náà tí mo fi fún un yín àti fún àwọn baba ńlá yín.” Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò fetí sí mi.
Time and again I've sent you so many of my servants the prophets to tell you: Everyone, stop your evil ways and do what's right! Don't go following other gods and worshiping them. Live in the land that I gave you and your fathers. But you haven't paid attention or obeyed me.
16 Nítòótọ́, àwọn ọmọ Jehonadabu ọmọ Rekabu pa òfin baba wọn mọ́ tí ó pàṣẹ fún wọn, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí kò pa òfin mi mọ́.’
These descendants of Jonadab son of Rechab have followed the command given to them by their forefather, but these people haven't obeyed me.
17 “Nítorí náà, báyìí ni, Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, ‘Fetísílẹ̀! Èmi ó mú gbogbo ohun búburú tí èmi ti sọ wá sórí Juda, àti sórí gbogbo olùgbé Jerusalẹmu nítorí èmi ti bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀: Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò sì dáhùn.’”
So this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Watch as I bring down on Judah and on all the people living in Jerusalem all the disasters I have threatened to do to them, because I have told them what to do but they haven't obeyed; I have appealed to them but they haven't responded.
18 Nígbà náà ni Jeremiah wí fún ìdílé Rekabu pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn ọmọ-ogun Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí pé: ‘Nítorí tí ẹ̀yin gba òfin Jehonadabu baba yín, tí ẹ sì pa gbogbo rẹ̀ mọ́, tí ẹ sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí èyí tí ó pàṣẹ fún un yín.’
Then Jeremiah told the Rechabites: This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Because you have obeyed your forefather Jonadab's instructions and have followed his orders and have done everything he told you to do,
19 Nítorí náà, báyìí ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli wí, pé: ‘Jonadabu ọmọ Rekabu kì yóò fẹ́ ọkùnrin kan kù láti sìn mí.’”
this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Jonadab son of Rechab will always have someone who will be in my presence serving me.
