| [1]The word which came not Jeremiah from the Lord, in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying, |
[1]The word which came unto Jeremiah from 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying: |
| [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. |
[2]'Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.' |
| [3]Then took I Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah the son of Habziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites, |
[3]Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites; |
| [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 treasure. |
[4]And I brought them into the house of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the 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; |
| [5]And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites, pots full of wine, and cups, and said unto them, Drink wine. |
[5]And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them: 'Drink ye wine.' |
| [6]But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither you nor your sons forever. |
[6]But they said: 'We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying: Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons, for ever; |
| [7]Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any, but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live a long time in the land where ye be strangers. |
[7]Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land wherein ye sojourn. |
| [8]Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father, in all that he hath charged us, and we drink no wine all our days, neither we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters. |
[8]And we have hearkened to the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters; |
| [9]Neither build we houses for us to dwell in, neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed, |
[9]Nor to build houses for us to dwell in, neither to have vineyard, or field, or seed; |
| [10]But we have remained in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. |
[10]But we have dwelt in tents, and have hearkened, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. |
| [11]But when Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem, from the host of the Chaldeans, and from the host of Aram [Syria]: so we dwell at Jerusalem. |
[11]But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up against 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.' |
| [12]Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying, |
[12]Then came the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 unto Jeremiah, saying: |
| [13]Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Go, and tell the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive doctrine to obey my words, saith the Lord? |
[13]'Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to My words? saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
| [14]The commandment of Jonadab the son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, that they should drink no wine, is surely kept: for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early, and speaking, but ye would not obey me. |
[14]The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed, and unto this day they drink none, for they hearken to their father's commandment; but I have spoken unto you, speaking betimes and often, and ye have not hearkened unto Me. |
| [15]I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early, and sending, them, saying, Return now every man from his evil way, and amend your works, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given unto you, and to your fathers, but ye would not incline your ear, nor obey me. |
[15]I have sent also unto you all My servants the prophets, sending them betimes and often, saying: Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers; but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto Me. |
| [16]Surely the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab, have kept the commandment of their father, which he gave them, but this people hath not obeyed me. |
[16]Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people hath not hearkened unto Me; |
| [17]Therefore thus saith the Lord 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 would not hear, and I have called unto them, but they would not answer. |
[17]Therefore thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the 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.' |
| [18]And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you, |
[18]And unto the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said: Thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have hearkened to the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he commanded you; |
| [19]Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man, to stand before me forever. |
[19]Therefore thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 of hosts, the God of Israel: There shall not be cut off unto Jonadab the son of Rechab a man to stand before Me for ever.' |
