< Jeremias 35 >

1 Det Ord, som kom til Jeremias fra Herren i Joasiases søn kong Jojakim af Judas Dage:
The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2 "Gå hen til Rekabiternes Hus og tal dem til, bring dem til et af Kamrene i HERRENs Hus og giv dem Vin at drikke!"
“Go to the house of the Rechabites, and you have spoken with them, and brought them into the house of YHWH, to one of the chambers, and caused them to drink wine.”
3 Så hentede jeg Jaazanja, en Søn af Jirmeja, Habazzinjas Søn, og hans Brødre og alle hans Sønner og hele Rekabiternes Hus
And I take Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and all the house of the Rechabites,
4 og bragte dem til HERRENs Hus, til den Guds Mand Hanans, Jigdaljahus Søns, Sønners Kammer ved Siden af Fyrsternes Kammer oven over Dørvogteren Maasejas, Sjallums Søns, Kammer.
and bring them into the house of YHWH, to the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, that [is] near to the chamber of the princes, that [is] above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum, keeper of the threshold;
5 Og jeg satte krukker, som var fulde af Vin, og Bægre for dem og sagde: "Drik!"
and I put before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups, and I say to them, “Drink wine.”
6 Men de svarede: Vi drikker ikke Vin, thi vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, gav os det Bud: I og eders Børn må aldrig drikke Vin,
And they say, “We do not drink wine: for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, charged us, saying, You do not drink wine, you and your sons—for all time;
7 ej heller bygge Huse eller så Korn eller plante eller eje Vingårde, men I skal bo i Telte hele eders Liv, for at I må leve længe i det Land, I bor i som frem1uede.
and you do not build a house, and you do not sow seed, and you do not plant a vineyard, nor have of [these]; for you dwell in tents all your days, that you may live many days on the face of the ground to where you are sojourning.
8 Og vi har adlydt vor Fader Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, i alt, hvad han bød os, idet både vi, vore kvinder, Sønner og Døtre hele vort Liv afholder os fra at drikke Vin,
And we listen to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, to all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;
9 bygge Huse at bo i og eje Vingårde, Marker eller Sæd,
nor to build houses to dwell in; and we have no vineyard, and field, and seed;
10 men bor i Telte; vi har adlydt og nøje gjort, som vor Fader Jonadab bød os.
and we dwell in tents, and we listen, and we do according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us;
11 Men da Kong Nebukadrezar af Babel faldt ind i Landet, sagde vi: Kom, lad os ty til Jerusalem for Kaldæernes og Aramernes Hære! Og vi slog os ned i Jerusalem."
and it comes to pass, in the coming up of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to the land, that we say, Come, and we enter Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans, and because of the force of Aram—and we dwell in Jerusalem.”
12 Da kom HERRENs Ord til mig således
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
13 Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Gå hen og sig til Judas Mænd og Jerusalems Borgere: Vil I ikke tage ved Lære og høre mine Ord? lyder det fra HERREN.
Go, and you have said to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Do you not receive instruction to listen to My words? A declaration of YHWH.
14 Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Bud er blevet overholdt; thi han forbød sine Sønner at drikke Vin, og de har ikke drukket Vin til den Dag i Dag, men adlydt deres Faders Bud; men jeg har talet til eder årle og silde, uden at I vilde høre mig.
The words of Jonadab son of Rechab, when he commanded his sons not to drink wine, have stood, and they have not drunk to this day, for they have obeyed the command of their father; and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened to Me.
15 Jeg sendte alle mine Tjenere Profeterne til eder årle og silde, for at de skulde sige: "Omvend eder hver fra sin onde Vej, gør gode Gerninger og hold eder ikke til andre Guder, så I dyrker dem; så skal I bo i det Land, jeg gav eder og eders Fædre." Men I bøjede ikke eders Øre og hørte mig ikke.
And I send all My servants the prophets to you, rising early and sending, saying, Please turn back, each from his evil way, and amend your doings, indeed, you do not walk after other gods, to serve them; and dwell on the ground that I have given to you and to your fathers; and you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to Me.
16 Fordi Jonadabs, Rekabs Søns, Sønner overholdt deres Faders Bud, medens dette Folk ikke vilde høre mig,
Because the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab have stood by the command of their father that he commanded them, and this people have not listened to Me,
17 derfor, så siger HERREN, Hærskarers Gud, Israels Gud: Se, jeg bringer over Juda og Jerusalems Borgere al den Ulykke, jeg har truet dem med, fordi de ikke hørte, da jeg talede, og ikke svarede, da jeg kaldte ad dem.
therefore, thus said YHWH, God of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing to Judah, and to all inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the calamity that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken to them, and they have not listened, indeed, I call to them, and they have not answered.”
18 Men til Rekabiternes Hus sagde Jeremias: Så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Fordi I har adlydt eders Fader Jonadabs Bud og overholdt alle hans Bud og gjort alt, hvad han bød eder,
And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Because that you have listened to the command of your father Jonadab, and you observe all his commands, and do according to all that he commanded you;
19 derfor, så siger Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Ingen Sinde skal Jonadab, Rekabs Søn, fattes en Mand til at stå for mit Åsyn.
therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: A man of Jonadab son of Rechab is not cut off [from] standing before Me all the days.”
