Jeremiah 35
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, —in the days of Jehoiakim 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 unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak with them, and bring them into the house of Yahweh, 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 So I took Jaazaniah, son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, —and all the house of the Rechabites;
Et assumpsi Iezoniam filium Ieremiæ filii Habsaniæ, et fratres eius, et omnes filios eius, et universam domum Rechabitarum:
4 and brought them into the house of Yahweh, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, —which was beside the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum keeper of the porch;
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 said unto them Drink ye wine.
Et posui coram filiis domus Rechabitarum scyphos plenos vino, et calices: et dixi ad eos: Bibite vinum.
6 Then said they, —We will not drink wine, —for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, laid command upon us, saying, Ye shall not drink wine, ye, nor your sons, unto times age-abiding;
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 nor house, shall ye build nor, seed, shall ye sow, nor vineyard, shall ye plant, neither shall ye have them, —but in tents, shall ye dwell, all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the soil where ye are sojourning.
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 So we have hearkened unto the voice of Jonadab, son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, —not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons nor 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 and not to build houses for us to dwell in, —and so, vineyard or field or seed, have we none;
et non ædificaremus domos ad habitandum: et vineam, et agrum, et sementem non habuimus:
10 but we have dwelt in tents, —and have hearkened 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 And so it came to pass when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, —Let us even enter, Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans and because of the force of the Syrians: So have we dwelt in 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 came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, saying:
Et factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam, dicens:
13 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Go and say to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —Will ye not receive correction by hearkening unto my words? Demandeth Yahweh:
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 Confirmed are the words of Jonadab son of Rechab—which he commanded his sons that they should not drink, wine, and they have not drunk until this day, for they have hearkened unto the command of their father, But, I, have spoken unto you, betimes, speaking, and ye have not hearkened, unto 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 And I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes, sending, saying, Return I pray you—every man from his wicked way, And amend your doings, And do not go after other gods to serve them, So shall ye remain on the soil which I gave to you, and to your fathers, —but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened, unto 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 Because the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab have, confirmed, the commandment of their father which he commanded them, —whereas, this people, have not hearkened unto me,
Firmaverunt igitur filii Ionadab filii Rechab præceptum patris sui, quod præceperat eis: populus autem iste non obedivit mihi.
17 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, God of Israel, Behold me! bringing in against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the calamity, which I have spoken concerning them, —Because I spake unto them and they did not hearken, And I called to them and they did not answer.
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 But to the house of the Rechabites, said Jeremiah: Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Because ye have hearkened unto the commandment of Jonadab your father, and have kept all his commandments, 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, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, —Jonadab son of Rechab shall not want one to stand before me, all the days!
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel: Non deficiet vir de stirpe Ionadab filii Rechab, stans in conspectu meo cunctis diebus.
