Jeremiah 35 (WEBP)

[1] The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
[2] “Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into Yahweh’s house, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.”
[3] Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, with his brothers, all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
[4] and I brought them into Yahweh’s house, into the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the princes, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
[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!”
[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 children, forever.
[7] You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, or have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, that you may live many days in the land in which you live as nomads.’
[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;
[9] and not to build houses for ourselves to dwell in. We have no vineyard, field, or seed;
[10] but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
[11] But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, we said, ‘Come! Let’s go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we will dwell at Jerusalem.’”
[12] Then Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
[13] “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?” says Yahweh.
[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.
[15] I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Every one of you must return now from his evil way, amend your doings, and don’t go after other gods to serve them. Then you will 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.
[16] 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.”’
[17] “Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.’”
[18] Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘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 Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jonadab the son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before me forever.’”

[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. ()
[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;
[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:
[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 () 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 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 () many days in the land where ye be strangers. ()
[8] Thus have we obeyed () the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged () us, to drink () no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
[9] nor to build () houses for us to dwell in: () neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

[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.
[12] Then came the word of the Lord 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 () instruction to hearken () to my words? saith () the Lord.
[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 ye hearkened () not unto me.
[15] I have sent () also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early () and sending () them, 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] 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 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 () unto 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:
[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 for ever.

[1] [42:1] ο λογος ο γενομενος προς ιερεμιαν παρα κυριου εν ημεραις ιωακιμ βασιλεως ιουδα λεγων
[2] [42:2] βαδισον εις οικον αρχαβιν και αξεις αυτους εις οικον κυριου εις μιαν των αυλων και ποτιεις αυτους οινον
[3] [42:3] και εξηγαγον τον ιεζονιαν υιον ιερεμιν υιου χαβασιν και τους αδελφους αυτου και τους υιους αυτου και πασαν την οικιαν αρχαβιν
[4] [42:4] και εισηγαγον αυτους εις οικον κυριου εις το παστοφοριον υιων ανανιου υιου γοδολιου ανθρωπου του θεου ο εστιν εγγυς του οικου των αρχοντων των επανω του οικου μαασαιου υιου σελωμ του φυλασσοντος την αυλην
[5] [42:5] και εδωκα κατα προσωπον αυτων κεραμιον οινου και ποτηρια και ειπα πιετε οινον
[6] [42:6] και ειπαν ου μη πιωμεν οινον οτι ιωναδαβ υιος ρηχαβ ο πατηρ ημων ενετειλατο ημιν λεγων ου μη πιητε οινον υμεις και οι υιοι υμων εως αιωνος
[7] [42:7] και οικιαν ου μη οικοδομησητε και σπερμα ου μη σπειρητε και αμπελων ουκ εσται υμιν οτι εν σκηναις οικησετε πασας τας ημερας υμων οπως αν ζησητε ημερας πολλας επι της γης εφ ης διατριβετε υμεις επ αυτης
[8] [42:8] και ηκουσαμεν της φωνης ιωναδαβ του πατρος ημων προς το μη πιειν οινον πασας τας ημερας ημων ημεις και αι γυναικες ημων και οι υιοι ημων και αι θυγατερες ημων
[9] [42:9] και προς το μη οικοδομειν οικιας του κατοικειν εκει και αμπελων και αγρος και σπερμα ουκ εγενετο ημιν
[10] [42:10] και ωκησαμεν εν σκηναις και ηκουσαμεν και εποιησαμεν κατα παντα α ενετειλατο ημιν ιωναδαβ ο πατηρ ημων
[11] [42:11] και εγενηθη οτε ανεβη ναβουχοδονοσορ επι την γην και ειπαμεν εισελθατε και εισελθωμεν εις ιερουσαλημ απο προσωπου της δυναμεως των χαλδαιων και απο προσωπου της δυναμεως των ασσυριων και ωκουμεν εκει
[12] [42:12] και εγενετο λογος κυριου προς με λεγων
[13] [42:13] ουτως λεγει κυριος πορευου και ειπον ανθρωπω ιουδα και τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ ου μη λαβητε παιδειαν του ακουειν τους λογους μου
[14] [42:14] εστησαν ρημα υιοι ιωναδαβ υιου ρηχαβ ο ενετειλατο τοις τεκνοις αυτου προς το μη πιειν οινον και ουκ επιοσαν και εγω ελαλησα προς υμας ορθρου και ελαλησα και ουκ ηκουσατε
[15] [42:15] και απεστειλα προς υμας τους παιδας μου τους προφητας λεγων αποστραφητε εκαστος απο της οδου αυτου της πονηρας και βελτιω ποιησατε τα επιτηδευματα υμων και ου πορευσεσθε οπισω θεων ετερων του δουλευειν αυτοις και οικησετε επι της γης ης εδωκα υμιν και τοις πατρασιν υμων και ουκ εκλινατε τα ωτα υμων και ουκ ηκουσατε
[16] [42:16] και εστησαν υιοι ιωναδαβ υιου ρηχαβ την εντολην του πατρος αυτων ο δε λαος ουτος ουκ ηκουσαν μου
[17] [42:17] δια τουτο ουτως ειπεν κυριος ιδου εγω φερω επι ιουδαν και επι τους κατοικουντας ιερουσαλημ παντα τα κακα α ελαλησα επ αυτους
[18] [42:18] δια τουτο ουτως ειπεν κυριος επειδη ηκουσαν υιοι ιωναδαβ υιου ρηχαβ την εντολην του πατρος αυτων ποιειν καθοτι ενετειλατο αυτοις ο πατηρ αυτων
[19] [42:19] ου μη εκλιπη ανηρ των υιων ιωναδαβ υιου ρηχαβ παρεστηκως κατα προσωπον μου πασας τας ημερας της γης
