Yeremia 35
Yeremia · Jeremiah
1Firman yang datang dari TUHAN kepada Yeremia di zaman Yoyakim bin Yosia, raja Yehuda, bunyinya:
1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:
2"Pergilah kepada kaum orang Rekhab, bicaralah dengan mereka dan bawalah mereka ke rumah TUHAN, ke dalam salah satu kamar, kemudian berilah mereka minum anggur!"
2"Go to the house of the Rechabites and speak with them and bring them to the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers; then offer them wine to drink."
3Maka aku menjemput Yaazanya bin Yeremia bin Habazinya beserta saudara-saudaranya dan semua anaknya, pendeknya segenap kaum orang Rekhab.
3So I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah and his brothers and all his sons and the whole house of the Rechabites.
4Aku membawa mereka ke rumah TUHAN, ke dalam kamar anak-anak Hanan bin Yigdalya, abdi Allah; itulah kamar yang di sebelah kamar para pembesar, di atas kamar Maaseya bin Salum, penjaga pintu.
4I brought them to the house of the LORD into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the chamber of the officials, above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, keeper of the threshold.
5Di depan anggota-anggota kaum orang Rekhab itu aku meletakkan piala-piala penuh anggur dan cawan-cawan, lalu aku berkata kepada mereka: "Silakan minum anggur!"
5Then I set before the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, "Drink wine."
6Tetapi mereka menjawab: "Kami tidak minum anggur, sebab Yonadab bin Rekhab, bapa leluhur kami, telah memberi perintah kepada kami, katanya: Janganlah kamu atau anak-anakmupun minum anggur sampai selama-lamanya;
6But they answered, "We will drink no wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, 'You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons forever.
7janganlah kamu mendirikan rumah, janganlah kamu menabur benih; janganlah kamu membuat atau mempunyai kebun anggur, melainkan haruslah kamu diam di kemah-kemah selama hidupmu, supaya lama kamu hidup di tanah, di mana kamu tinggal sebagai orang asing!
7You shall not build a house; you shall not sow seed; you shall not plant or have a vineyard; but you shall live in tents all your days, that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.'
8Kami mentaati suara Yonadab bin Rekhab, bapa leluhur kami dalam segala apa yang diperintahkannya kepada kami, agar kami tidak minum anggur selama hidup kami, yakni kami sendiri, isteri kami, anak-anak lelaki dan anak-anak perempuan kami;
8We 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, ourselves, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,
9agar kami tidak mendirikan rumah-rumah untuk kami diami, tidak mempunyai kebun anggur atau ladang serta benih,
9and not to build houses to dwell in. We have no vineyard or field or seed,
10melainkan kami diam di kemah-kemah dan taat melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkan kepada kami oleh Yonadab, bapa leluhur kami.
10but we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11Tetapi ketika Nebukadnezar, raja Babel, bergerak maju melawan negeri ini, maka kami berkata: Marilah kita mengungsi ke Yerusalem, karena tentara orang Kasdim dan tentara orang Aram itu! Demikianlah kami diam di Yerusalem."
11But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against the land, we said, 'Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans and the army of the Syrians.' So we are living in Jerusalem."
12Pada waktu itu datanglah firman TUHAN kepada Yeremia, bunyinya:
12Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
13"Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Pergilah dan katakanlah kepada orang Yehuda dan kepada penduduk Yerusalem: Tidakkah kamu mau menerima penghajaran, yaitu mendengarkan perkataan-perkataan-
13"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Go and say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction and listen to my words? declares the LORD.
14Memang perintah Yonadab bin Rekhab itu masih ditepati; ia telah memerintahkan kepada keturunannya, supaya mereka jangan minum anggur, dan sampai sekarang ini mereka tidak meminumnya, sebab mereka mendengarkan perintah bapa leluhur mereka. Aku sendiri telah berbicara kepada kamu, terus-menerus, tetapi kamu tidak mendengarkan Aku.
14The command that Jonadab the son of Rechab gave to his sons, to drink no wine, has been kept, and they drink none to this day, for they have obeyed their father's command. I have spoken to you persistently, but you have not listened to me.
15Aku telah mengutus kepadamu segala hamba-Ku, yakni para nabi, terus-menerus, mengatakan: Kembalilah kamu masing-masing dari tingkah langkahmu yang jahat itu, perbaikilah perbuatanmu, janganlah mengikuti allah lain untuk beribadah kepada mereka, maka kamu akan tetap diam di tanah yang telah Kuberikan kepadamu dan kepada nenek moyangmu. Tetapi kamu tidak mau memperhatikannya dan kamu tidak mau mendengarkan Aku.
15I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them persistently, saying, 'Turn now every one of you from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to you and your fathers.' But you did not incline your ear or listen to me.
16Sungguh, keturunan Yonadab bin Rekhab menepati perintah yang diberikan bapa leluhurnya kepada mereka, tetapi bangsa ini tidak mau mendengarkan Aku!
16The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command that their father gave them, but this people has not obeyed me.
17Sebab itu beginilah firman TUHAN, Allah semesta alam, Allah Israel: Sesungguhnya, Aku mendatangkan kepada Yehuda dan kepada segenap penduduk Yerusalem segala malapetaka yang Kuancamkan atas mereka; karena Aku telah berbicara kepada mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mau mendengarkan, dan Aku telah berseru kepada mereka, tetapi mereka tidak mau menjawab."
17Therefore, thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing upon Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them and they have not listened, I have called to them and they have not answered."
18Tetapi berkatalah Yeremia kepada kaum orang Rekhab: "Beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Oleh karena kamu telah mendengarkan perintah Yonadab, bapa leluhurmu, telah berpegang pada segala perintahnya dan telah melakukan tepat seperti yang diperintahkannya kepadamu,
18But to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said, "Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the command of Jonadab your father and kept all his precepts and done all that he commanded you,
19maka beginilah firman TUHAN semesta alam, Allah Israel: Keturunan Yonadab bin Rekhab takkan terputus melayani Aku sepanjang masa."
19therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall never lack a man to stand before me."
