Jeremiah 35

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

Verbum, quod factum est ad Ieremiam a Domino in diebus Ioakim filii Iosiæ regis Iuda, dicens:

2 Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.

Vade ad domum Rechabitarum: et loquere eis, et introduces eos in domum Domini in unam exedram thesaurorum, et dabis eis bibere vinum.

3 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.

Et assumpsi Iezoniam filium Ieremiæ filii Habsaniæ, et fratres eius, et omnes filios eius, et universam domum Rechabitarum:

4 And I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the rulers, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

Et introduxi eos in domum Domini ad gazophylacium filiorum Hanan, filii Iegedeliæ hominis Dei, quod erat iuxta gazophylacium principum, super thesaurum Maasiæ filii Sellum, qui erat custos vestibuli.

5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink ye wine.

Et posui coram filiis domus Rechabitarum scyphos plenos vino, et calices: et dixi ad eos: Bibite vinum.

6 But they said, We will drink no wine. For Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons, forever.

Qui responderunt: Non bibemus vinum: quia Ionadab filius Rechab, pater noster, præcepit nobis, dicens: Non bibetis vinum, vos et filii vestri usque in sempiternum:

7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any, but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land in which ye sojourn.

Et domum non ædificabitis, et sementem non seretis, et vineas non plantabitis, nec habebitis: sed in tabernaculis habitabitis cunctis diebus vestris, ut vivatis diebus multis super faciem terræ, in qua vos peregrinamini.

8 And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,

Obedivimus ergo voci Ionadab filii Rechab, patris nostri, in omnibus, quæ præcepit nobis, ita ut non biberemus vinum cunctis diebus nostris nos, et mulieres nostræ, filii, et filiæ nostræ:

9 nor to build houses for us to dwell in. Neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed,

et non ædificaremus domos ad habitandum: et vineam, et agrum, et sementem non habuimus:

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

sed habitavimus in tabernaculis, et obedientes fuimus iuxta omnia, quæ præcepit nobis Ionadab pater noster.

11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar 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 Syrians. So we dwell at Jerusalem.

Cum autem ascendisset Nabuchodonosor rex Babylonis ad terram nostram, diximus: Venite, et ingrediamur Ierusalem a facie exercitus Chaldæorum, et a facie exercitus Syriæ: et mansimus in Ierusalem.

12 Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,

Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:

13 Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? says Jehovah.

Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Vade, et dic viris Iuda, et habitatoribus Ierusalem: Numquid non recipietis disciplinam ut obediatis verbis meis, dicit Dominus?

14 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 ye have not hearkened to me.

Prævaluerunt sermones Ionadab filii Rechab, quos præcepit filiis suis ut non biberent vinum: et non biberunt usque ad diem hanc, quia obedierunt præcepto patris sui: ego autem locutus sum ad vos, de mane consurgens et loquens, et non obedistis mihi.

15 I have also sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers. But ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.

Misique ad vos omnes servos meos prophetas, consurgens diluculo, mittensque et dicens: Convertimini unusquisque a via sua pessima, et bona facite studia vestra: et nolite sequi deos alienos, neque colatis eos: et habitabitis in terra, quam dedi vobis et patribus vestris: et non inclinastis aurem vestram, neque audistis me.

16 Inasmuch as the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not hearkened to me,

Firmaverunt igitur filii Ionadab filii Rechab præceptum patris sui, quod præceperat eis: populus autem iste non obedivit mihi.

17 therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon 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.

Idcirco hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israel: Ecce ego adducam super Iuda, et super omnes habitatores Ierusalem universam afflictionem, quam locutus sum adversum illos, eo quod locutus sum ad illos, et non audierunt: vocavi illos, et non responderunt mihi.

18 And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,

Domui autem Rechabitarum dixit Ieremias: Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Pro eo quod obedistis præcepto Ionadab patris vestri, et custodistis omnia mandata eius, et fecistis universa, quæ præcepit vobis:

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

Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Non deficiet vir de stirpe Ionadab filii Rechab, stans in conspectu meo cunctis diebus.
