Jeremia 35

1 Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanao hoe:

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

2 Mankanesa any amin’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba, ary mitenena aminy, dia ampidiro ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah, ao amin’ ny efi-trano anankiray, izy, ka omeo divay hosotroiny.

"Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink."

3 Dia nalaiko Jazania, zanak’ i Jeremia, zanak’ i Habazinia, sy ny rahalahiny sy ny zanany rehetra mbamin’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba rehetra,

Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.

4 ka nampidiriko ho ao amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah izy, dia tao amin’ ny efi-tranon’ ny taranak’ i Hanana zanak’ i Jigdalia, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, izay ao anilan’ ny efi-tranon’ ny mpanapaka, ao ambonin’ ny efi-tranon’ i Mahaseia, zanak’ i Saloma, mpiandry varavarana.

And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the room of the sons of Hananiah son of Gedaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the officials, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

5 Ary norosoako kapoaka sy siny feno divay teo anoloan’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba ka nolazaiko taminy hoe: Misotroa divay ianareo.

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 Fa hoy kosa ireo: Tsy hisotro divay izahay; fa Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, razanay efa nafatra anay hoe: Aza mba misotro divay ianareo na ny taranakareo mandrakizay;

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 sons, forever:

7 ary aza manao trano ianareo, na mamafy voan-javatra, na manao tanim-boaloboka, na mety hanana izany akory, fa lay no itoeronareo amin’ ny andronareo rehetra, mba ho ela velona ianareo amin’ ny tany izay ivahinianareo.

neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land in which you live.'

8 Dia nankatoavinay izany tenin’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, razanay izany tamin’ izay rehetra nanafarany anay, mba tsy hisotro divay amin’ ny andronay rehetra, na izahay na ny vadinay, na ny zanakai-lahy, na ny zanakai-vavy;

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 ary tsy hanao trano hitoeranay, na hanana tanimboly, na saha, na voan-javatra izahay;

nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

10 fa efa nitoetra an-day izahay araka izay rehetra nanafaran’ i Jonadaba razanay anay.

but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

11 Fa raha nananika ny tany Nebokadnezara, mpanjakan’ i Babylona. Dia hoy izahay: Andeha isika hankany Jerosalema handositra ny miaramilan’ ny Kaldeana sy ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana, ka dia izany no itoerany eto Jerosalema.

But it happened, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, 'Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Arameans'; so we dwell at Jerusalem."

12 Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:

Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying,

13 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Andeha, lazao amin’ ny Joda sy amin’ ny mponina any Jerosalema hoe: Tsy hino anatra hitandrina ny teniko va ianareo? hoy Jehovah.

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: '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 To ny tenin’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, izay nanafarany ny zanany tsy hisotro divay, fa tsy misotro tokoa izy mandraka androany, fa mahatana ny hafa-drazany, ary Izaho efa niteny taminareo, eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka niteny, nefa tsy nihaino ianareo.

"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 Nirahiko taminareo koa ny mpaminany mpanompoko rehetra, eny, nifoha maraina koa Aho ka naniraka azy hanao hoe: Samia miala amin’ ny lalanareo ratsy ianareo ankehitriny, ary ataovy tsara ny ataonareo, ary aza manaraka andriamani-kafa hanompo azy, dia honina amin’ ny tany izay nomeko anareo sy ny razanareo ianareo nefa tsy nanongilana ny sofinareo na nihaino Ahy ianareo.

I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Return now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall 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 Eny, nankatoavin’ ny zanak’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, ny hafa-drazany, izay nanafarany azy; fa ity firenena ity kosa tsy mba nihaino Ahy.

Because 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 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely Indro, hataoko mihatra amin’ ny Joda sy ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema ny loza rehetra izay nolazaiko hatao aminy, satria efa niteny taminy Aho, fa tsy nihaino izy, ary niantso azy Aho, fa tsy namaly izy.

therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Look, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, but they have not listened; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.'"'"

18 Ary ny taranak’ i Rekaba dia nilazan’ i Jeremia hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Noho ny nahatananareo ny hafatr’ i Jonadaba razanareo sy ny nitandremanareo ny hafany rehetra ary ny nanaovanareo araka izay rehetra nanafarany anareo,

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 kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you';

19 dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, tsy ho diso zanakalahy hitsangana eo anatrehako mandrakizay.

therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.'"
