Jeremiah 35
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Jeremi ankò, lè sa a se Jojakim, pitit Jozyas, ki te wa peyi Jida. Li di l' konsa:
2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
-Al jwenn moun branch fanmi Rekab yo. Pale ak yo. Fè yo vini ak ou nan yonn nan pyès chanm Tanp lan. Lè y'a rive la, w'a ba yo diven bwè.
3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
Se konsa Jeremi al chache tout branch fanmi Rekab yo, depi Jazanya, pitit gason Imeja, ki te pitit Abasinya, ansanm ak tout frè l' yo ak tout pitit gason yo.
4 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
Li mennen yo nan tanp lan. Li fè yo antre nan pyès chanm yo te bay patizan pwofèt Anan, pitit Igdalya a. Pyès chanm sa a te kole kole ak chanm chèf tanp yo, li te anwo pyès chanm ki pou Maseya, pitit gason Chaloum lan, prèt ki te reskonsab veye pòtay tanp lan.
5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink all of you wine.
Apre sa, Jeremi mete gwo ja plen diven ak gode devan moun Rekab yo. Li di yo: -Bwè diven non!
6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, All of you shall drink no wine, neither all of you, nor your sons for ever:
Men yo reponn li: -Nou pa bwè diven non. Paske zansèt nou, Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, te ban nou lòd sa yo: Pa janm bwè diven, ni nou, ni pitit nou yo.
7 Neither shall all of you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days all of you shall dwell in tents; that all of you may live many days in the land where all of you be strangers.
Pa janm bati kay, pa janm travay latè, pa janm plante rezen, pa janm achte bagay konsa non plis. N'a pase tout lavi nou anba tant. Konsa, n'a rete lontan nan peyi ki pa pou nou an.
8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he has charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
Nou toujou obeyi lòd zansèt nou, Jonadab, pitit Rekab, te ban nou. Nou pa janm bwè diven nan vi nou, ni nou menm, ni madanm nou, ni pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo.
9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
Nou pa bati kay pou nou rete. Nou pa gen pye rezen. Nou pa gen jaden pou n' plante.
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Se anba tant nou rete. Konsa, nou toujou fè tou sa Jonadab, zansèt nou, te ban nou lòd fè a.
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.
Men, lè Nèbikadneza, wa peyi Babilòn lan, anvayi peyi a, nou yonn di lòt: Ann antre lavil Jerizalèm pou nou chape anba lame moun Babilòn yo ak lame moun peyi Siri yo. Se konsa nou vin rete lavil Jerizalèm.
12 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
Lè sa a Seyè a pale ak Jeremi.
13 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will all of you not receive instruction to hearken to my words? says the LORD.
Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di l': -Ale jwenn moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo, w'a di yo: Poukisa yo pa pran leson sou moun Rekab yo, pou yo fè sa mwen di yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap mande yo sa.
14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but all of you hearkened not unto me.
Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, te bay lòd pou pitit li yo pa janm bwè diven. Jouk jounen jòdi a yo pa janm bwè diven. Yo swiv lòd zansèt yo te ba yo a. Men nou menm, mwen pa janm sispann avèti nou. Nou pa janm koute m'.
15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return all of you now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and all of you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but all of you have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
Mwen pa janm sispann voye sèvitè m' yo, pwofèt yo, vin di nou: Manyè kite move pant n'ap swiv yo. Manyè fè sa ki dwat! Pa kouri dèyè lòt bondye pou nou sèvi yo. Konsa, n'a rete nan peyi mwen te bay pou zansèt nou yo ansanm ak nou an. Men, nou pa koute m'.
16 Because 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 unto me:
Pitit Jonadab yo te fè tou sa zansèt yo te mande yo fè, men nou menm moun Jida yo, nou pa vle koute m'.
17 Therefore thus says the LORD 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 unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen di nou: Mwen pral voye sou moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo malè mwen te di m'ap voye a. Paske mwen te pale nou, nou pa koute m'. Mwen rele nou, nou pa reponn mwen.
18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because all of you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he has commanded you:
Apre sa, Jeremi di moun Rekab yo: -Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di nou: Nou te swiv lòd zansèt nou, Jonadab, te ban nou an. Nou te fè tou sa li te mande nou fè, tout lòd li te ban nou yo.
19 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to stand before me for ever.
Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen di: Va toujou gen yon gason nan fanmi Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, pou sèvi mwen.
