¹The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

¹Junxil nak toj cuan chokß xreyeb laj Judá laj Joacim li ralal laj Josías, li Kâcuaß quiâtinac riqßuin laj Jeremías ut quixye re:

²Go 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—Tatxic riqßuineb li ralal xcßajol laj Recab ut tâbokeb saß lin templo. Tâcuocsiheb saß junak li naßajej li cuan saß lin templo ut tâqßue li vino re teßrucß, chan.

³Then 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;

³Ut lâin côin chixcßambal chak laj Jaazanías li ralal laj Jeremías jun chic ut ri laj Habasinías, joß eb ajcuiß li ralal ut eb li ras. Ut quincßameb chixjunileb li ralal xcßajol laj Recab.

⁴And 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:

⁴Xincßameb saß jun li naßajej li cuan chire li templo saß lix naßajeb li ralal laj Hanán, li ralal li profeta Igdalías. Li naßajej aßan cuan chixcßatk lix naßajeb li cuanqueb xcuanquil saß li templo ut cuan saß xbên lix naßaj laj Maasías, li ralal laj Salum, li nacßacßalen saß li oquebâl.

⁵And 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.

⁵Ut xinqßueheb li secß li nujenak riqßuin vino reheb li ralal laj Recab ut xinye reheb: —Ucßumak li vino aßin, chanquin reheb.

⁶But 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:

⁶Ut eb aßan queßxye cue: —Lâo incßaß noco-ucßac vino xban nak laj Jonadab li ralal laj Recab li kaxeßtônil yucuaß quixye ke nak mâ jun cua takucß li vino lâo, chi moco li kalal kacßajol.

⁷Neither 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.

⁷Ut quixye ajcuiß ke: —Incßaß texcablak, chi moco tex-âuk, chi moco têrau lê uvas, chi moco têxoc li cßaß re ru aßin. Junelic texcuânk saß eb li muhebâl yîbanbil riqßuin tßicr. Cui têbânu chi joßcan, najt texcuânk saß ruchichßochß saß li naßajej li cuanquex cuiß, chan ke.

⁸Thus 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;

⁸Yôco xbânunquil chixjunil li quixye ke laj Jonadab li ralal laj Recab, li kaxeßtônil yucuaß. Lâo incßaß noco-ucßac vino, chi moco eb li kixakil chi moco eb li kalal kacßajol.

⁹Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

⁹Lâo incßaß xocablac, chi moco xo-au uvas, chi moco cuan kachßochß xnaßaj kacuîmk.

¹⁰But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

¹⁰Junelic nococuan saß eb li muhebâl yîbanbil riqßuin tßicr ut nakabânu chixjunil li quixye ke laj Jonadab li kaxeßtônil yucuaß.

¹¹But 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.

¹¹Ut nak laj Nabucodonosor, lix reyeb laj Babilonia, quichal chi pletic saß li katenamit, xkaye chi kibil kib, “Toxic Jerusalén re nak toêlelik chiruheb li soldados aj Babilonia ut aj Siria. Ut chalen toj anakcuan cuanco arin Jerusalén,” chanqueb.

¹²Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

¹²Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re laj Jeremías:

¹³Thus 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.

¹³—Ayu ut tâye reheb laj Judá ut reheb ajcuiß laj Jerusalén chi joßcaßin: ¿ma incßaß têtzol êrib chixbânunquil li cßaßru ninye? chan li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios, lix Dioseb laj Israel.

¹⁴The 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.

¹⁴Laj Jonadab li ralal laj Recab quixye reheb li ralal xcßajol nak incßaß teßrucß li vino ut queßxbânu joß quixye. Toj chalen anakcuan incßaß nequeßrucß li vino xban nak nequeßxbânu li cßaßru quixye lix xeßtônil yucuaßeb. Abanan lâin nabal sut yôquin chixyebal êre cßaßru têbânu ut incßaß nequex-abin chicuu.

¹⁵I 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.

¹⁵Nabal sut quintakla lin profetas êriqßuin. Queßxye êre nak chêjunilex têjal lê cßaßux ut têcanab xbânunquil li mâusilal. Queßxye êre nak incßaß têlokßoniheb li jalanil dios, chi moco texcßanjelak chiruheb. Cui têbânu chi joßcan texcuânk saß li naßajej li quinqßue reheb lê xeßtônil yucuaß ut êre ajcuiß lâex, chanqueb. Abanan, lâex incßaß xex-abin chicuu.

¹⁶Because 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:

¹⁶Relic chi yâl nak eb li ralal xcßajol laj Recab queßxbânu joß queßyeheß reheb xbaneb lix xeßtônil yucuaß. Abanan eb li tenamit aßin incßaß nequeßabin chicuu.

¹⁷Therefore 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.

¹⁷Joßcan nak lâin li Kâcuaß li nimajcual Dios, lix Dioseb laj Israel, ninye chi joßcaßin: Lâin tintakla li raylal saß xbêneb laj Judá ut chixjunileb li cuanqueb Jerusalén joß quinye reheb. Nabal li raylal tintakla saß xbêneb. Xinâtinac riqßuineb, abanan incßaß xeßabin chicuu. Xinbokeb chi châlc cuiqßuin ut incßaß queßraj châlc cuiqßuin, chan.

¹⁸And 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:

¹⁸Ut li profeta Jeremías quixye reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Recab: —Li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel naxye êre chi joßcaßin: Lâex xebânu li cßaßru quixye êre laj Jonadab lê xeßtônil yucuaß. Xebânu lê chakßrabinquil li quixqßue ut xebânu chixjunil li quixye êre.Joßcan nak lâin li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel, ninye êre nak junelic tâcuânk junak li cuînk saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Jonadab, li ralal laj Recab, li tâcßanjelak chicuu, chan.

¹⁹Therefore 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.

¹⁹Joßcan nak lâin li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel, ninye êre nak junelic tâcuânk junak li cuînk saß xyânkeb li ralal xcßajol laj Jonadab, li ralal laj Recab, li tâcßanjelak chicuu, chan.
