< Jeremiah 35 >

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from YHWH in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ τετάρτῳ ἔτει Σεδεκια βασιλέως Ιουδα ἐν μηνὶ τῷ πέμπτῳ εἶπέν μοι Ανανιας υἱὸς Αζωρ ὁ ψευδοπροφήτης ὁ ἀπὸ Γαβαων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἱερέων καὶ παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων
2 "Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of YHWH, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink."
οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος συνέτριψα τὸν ζυγὸν τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος
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.
ἔτι δύο ἔτη ἡμερῶν ἐγὼ ἀποστρέψω εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον τὰ σκεύη οἴκου κυρίου
4 And I brought them into the house of YHWH, into the room of the sons of Hananiah son of Gedaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the officials, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
καὶ Ιεχονιαν καὶ τὴν ἀποικίαν Ιουδα ὅτι συντρίψω τὸν ζυγὸν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος
5 I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, "Drink wine."
καὶ εἶπεν Ιερεμιας πρὸς Ανανιαν κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἱερέων τῶν ἑστηκότων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου
6 But they said, "We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, 'You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your sons, forever:
καὶ εἶπεν Ιερεμιας ἀληθῶς οὕτω ποιήσαι κύριος στήσαι τὸν λόγον σου ὃν σὺ προφητεύεις τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι τὰ σκεύη οἴκου κυρίου καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀποικίαν ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον
7 neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land in which you live.'
πλὴν ἀκούσατε τὸν λόγον κυρίου ὃν ἐγὼ λέγω εἰς τὰ ὦτα ὑμῶν καὶ εἰς τὰ ὦτα παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ
8 We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
οἱ προφῆται οἱ γεγονότες πρότεροί μου καὶ πρότεροι ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἐπροφήτευσαν ἐπὶ γῆς πολλῆς καὶ ἐπὶ βασιλείας μεγάλας εἰς πόλεμον
9 nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
ὁ προφήτης ὁ προφητεύσας εἰς εἰρήνην ἐλθόντος τοῦ λόγου γνώσονται τὸν προφήτην ὃν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοῖς κύριος ἐν πίστει
10 but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
καὶ ἔλαβεν Ανανιας ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ τοὺς κλοιοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου Ιερεμιου καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτούς
11 But it happened, when Nebuchadnezzar 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 Arameans'; so we dwell at Jerusalem."
καὶ εἶπεν Ανανιας κατ’ ὀφθαλμοὺς παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ λέγων οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος οὕτως συντρίψω τὸν ζυγὸν βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος ἀπὸ τραχήλων πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ᾤχετο Ιερεμιας εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ
12 Then came the word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος κυρίου πρὸς Ιερεμιαν μετὰ τὸ συντρῖψαι Ανανιαν τοὺς κλοιοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτοῦ λέγων
13 "Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Go, and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, "Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?" says YHWH.
βάδιζε καὶ εἰπὸν πρὸς Ανανιαν λέγων οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος κλοιοὺς ξυλίνους συνέτριψας καὶ ποιήσω ἀντ’ αὐτῶν κλοιοὺς σιδηροῦς
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 you have not listened to me.
ὅτι οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ζυγὸν σιδηροῦν ἔθηκα ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐργάζεσθαι τῷ βασιλεῖ Βαβυλῶνος
15 I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Return now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers': but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
καὶ εἶπεν Ιερεμιας τῷ Ανανια οὐκ ἀπέσταλκέν σε κύριος καὶ πεποιθέναι ἐποίησας τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ἐπ’ ἀδίκῳ
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 listened to me;
διὰ τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπεν κύριος ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξαποστέλλω σε ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς τούτῳ τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ ἀποθανῇ
17 therefore thus says YHWH, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Look, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, but they have not listened; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.'"'"
καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ ἑβδόμῳ
18 Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, "Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you';
19 therefore thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.'"
