< Jeremiah 35 >

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
Izao no teny tonga tamin’ i Jeremia avy tamin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny andron’ i Joiakima, zanak’ i Josia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nanao hoe:
2 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.
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.
3 Then I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons and all the Rechabites;
Dia nalaiko Jazania, zanak’ i Jeremia, zanak’ i Habazinia, sy ny rahalahiny sy ny zanany rehetra mbamin’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba rehetra,
4 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;
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.
5 And I put before the sons of the Rechabites basins full of wine and cups, and I said to them, Take some wine.
Ary norosoako kapoaka sy siny feno divay teo anoloan’ ny taranak’ i Rekaba ka nolazaiko taminy hoe: Misotroa divay ianareo.
6 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:
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;
7 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.
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.
8 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;
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;
9 Building no houses for ourselves, having no vine-gardens or fields or seed:
ary tsy hanao trano hitoeranay, na hanana tanimboly, na saha, na voan-javatra izahay;
10 But we have been living in tents, and have done everything which Jonadab our father gave us orders to do.
fa efa nitoetra an-day izahay araka izay rehetra nanafaran’ i Jonadaba razanay anay.
11 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.
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.
12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Dia tonga tamin’ i Jeremia ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe:
13 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.
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.
14 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.
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.
15 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.
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.
16 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:
Eny, nankatoavin’ ny zanak’ i Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, ny hafa-drazany, izay nanafarany azy; fa ity firenena ity kosa tsy mba nihaino Ahy.
17 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.
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.
18 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;
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,
19 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.
dia izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Jonadaba, zanak’ i Rekaba, tsy ho diso zanakalahy hitsangana eo anatrehako mandrakizay.
