Jeremiah 35

1 Ke pacl se Jehoiakim wen natul Josiah el tokosra lun Judah, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik,

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

2 “Fahla nu yurin mwet in sou lun Rechab ac kaskas nu selos. Na kom usalosme nu in sie sin fukil in Tempul ac sang wain nu selos elos in nim.”

Go into the house of the Rechabites, and have talk with them, and take them into the house of the Lord, into one of the rooms, and give them wine.

3 Ouinge nga som nu yorol Jaazaniah (wen nutin sie pac Jeremiah, su ma natul Habazziniah), ac tamulel lal ac wen nukewa natul, aok mwet nukewa in sou lun Rechab,

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

4 ac usalosme nu in Tempul. Nga eisalos nu infukil sin mwet lutlut lun mwet palu Hanan, wen natul Igdaliah. Infukil se inge oan fin infukil sel Maaseiah, wen natul Shallum, sie mwet fulat oa in Tempul, ac apkuran pac nu ke infukil sin mwet leum saya ah.

And I took them into the house of the Lord, into the room of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the rulers' room, which was over the room of Maaseiah, the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door;

5 Na nga likiya pol sessesla ke wain, wi cup, ye mutun mwet Rechab, ac nga fahk nu selos, “Nim wain uh.”

And I put before the sons of the Rechabites basins full of wine and cups, and I said to them, Take some wine.

6 Tusruktu elos topuk fahk, “Kut tia nim wain. Jonadab, wen natul Rechab papa matu tumasr, el sapkin nu sesr mu kut, ac fwilin tulik natusr, in tiana nim wain.

But they said, We will take no wine: for Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, gave us orders, saying, You are to take no wine, you or your sons, for ever:

7 El oayapa fahk kut in tia musa lohm ku orek ima, ku yok ima in grape ac in tia pac moli ima sin mwet ngia. El sap kut in mutana in lohm nuknuk pacl nukewa, kut in mau mutangan mwet fahsr in facl se inge.

And you are to make no houses, or put in seed, or get vine-gardens planted, or have any: but all your days you are to go on living in tents, so that you may have a long life in the land where you are living as in a strange country.

8 Kut akos kas nukewa ma Jonadab el wili nu sesr. Kut sifacna kut tiana nim wain, oayapa mutan kiasr, wen natusr, ac acn natusr tia pac nim.

And we have kept the rules of Jonadab, the son of Rechab our father, in everything which he gave us orders to do, drinking no wine all our days, we and our wives and our sons and our daughters;

9 Kut oayapa tia musa lohm in muta loac. Wangin ima in grape ku ima in wheat lasr, ac kut tia pac yukwi.

Building no houses for ourselves, having no vine-gardens or fields or seed:

10 Kut mutana in lohm nuknuk, ac kut akos ac oru ma nukewa papa matu tumasr, Jonadab, el sapkin nu sesr.

But we have been living in tents, and have done everything which Jonadab our father gave us orders to do.

11 Tusruktu ke pacl se tokosra Nebuchadnezzar el tuku mweuni facl se inge, na kut sulela in tuku nu Jerusalem kut in kaingla liki un mwet mweun lun Babylonia ac Syria. Pa inge sripen muta lasr inge.”

But when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem, away from the army of the Chaldaeans and from the army of the Aramaeans: and so we are living in Jerusalem.

12 Na kas lun LEUM GOD tuku nu sel Jeremiah, fahk ouinge:

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

13 LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Fahla nu yurin mwet Judah ac elos su muta Jerusalem ac fahk, ‘Efu ku kowos srangesr porongeyu ac akos kas in luti luk?

This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Go and say to the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, Is there no hope of teaching you to give ear to my words? says the Lord.

14 Fwilin tulik natul Jonadab elos akos na sap lal tuh elos in tia nim wain, na oru elos tiana nim nwe misenge. A nga kaskas na kaskas nu suwos, a kowos tiana akosyu.

The orders which Jonadab, the son of Rechab, gave to his sons to take no wine, are done, and to this day they take no wine, for they do the orders of their father: but I have sent my words to you, getting up early and sending them, and you have not given ear to me.

15 Nga tia fuhleak in supu nu yuruwos mwet kulansap nukewa su mwet palu luk, ac elos fahk nu suwos kowos in tui liki ouiyen moul sufal lowos, ac in oru ma suwohs. Elos sensenkakin kowos in tia alu ac kulansupu god saya, tuh kowos in ku in mutana fin facl se nga tuh sang nu sin mwet matu lowos ac oayapa nu suwos. A kowos tiana porongeyu ku lohma nu sik.

And I have sent you all my servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them, saying, Come back, now, every man from his evil way, and do better, and go not after other gods to become their servants, and you will go on living in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but your ears have not been open, and you have not given attention to me.

16 Fwilin tulik natul Rechab elos akos oakwuk ma Jonadab, papa matu tumalos, sang nu selos, a kowos tiana akosyu.

Though the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have done the orders of their father which he gave them, this people has not given ear to me:

17 Ke ma inge, nga LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, ac use nu fowos mwet Judah ac mwet Jerusalem mwe ongoiya nukewa nga wulela kac. Nga ac oru ma inge ke sripen kowos tiana porongeyu ke nga kaskas nu suwos, ac kowos tia pac topukyu ke nga pang nu suwos.’”

For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem all the evil which I said I would do to them: because I sent my words to them, but they did not give ear; crying out to them, but they gave no answer.

18 Na nga fahk nu sin mwet in sou lal Rechab, lah LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, El fahk, “Mweyen kowos akos na ma sap lal Jonadab, papa matu tomowos, ac fahsr tukun oakwuk nukewa ma el oakiya nu suwos, ac orala ma nukewa el sapkin nu suwos,

But to the Rechabites Jeremiah said, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Because you have done the orders of Jonadab your father, and have kept his rules, and done everything as he gave you orders to do it;

19 na pa inge, nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, wulela mu pacl nukewa ac fah oasr na wen se ke fwilin tulik natul Jonadab wen natul Rechab, su fah kulansapweyu.”

For this reason the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Jonadab, the son of Rechab, will never be without a man to take his place before me.
