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

¹Beseda, ki je prišla Jeremiju od GOSPODA v dnevih Jojakima, sinu Josijevega, kralja na Judovem, govoreč:

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.

²Pojdi k družini Rehabovcev in govori ž njimi in jih pripelji v hišo GOSPODOVO v kateri hram in jim daj priti vina.

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;

³Vzamem torej Jazanija, sinu Jeremija, sinu Habazinijevega, in brate njegove in vse sine njegove in vso družino Rehabovcev

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:

⁴in jih privedem v hišo GOSPODOVO v hram sinov Hanana, sinu Jigdalija, moža Božjega, ki je blizu hrama knezov, ta pa nad hramom Maaseja, sinu Salumovega, ki je bil čuvaj vrat.

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.

⁵In ko sem postavil pred sinove družine Rehabovcev kupe polne vina in čaše, jim rečem: Pijte vino!

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:

⁶Oni pa reko: Ne pijemo vina, kajti Jonadab, sin Rehabov, naš oče, nam je zapovedal, rekoč: Ne pijte vina, ne vi, ne otroci vaši, nikdar;

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.

⁷in hiše ne zidajte in semena ne sejte in vinograda ne sadite in ga v lasti ne imejte, temuč v šatorih prebivajte vse svoje dni, da boste mnogo dni živeli v deželi, kjer ste tujci.

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;

⁸In poslušali smo glas Jonadaba, sinu Rehabovega, očeta svojega v vsem, kar nam je zapovedal: da ne pijemo vina vse svoje dni, mi, žene naše, sinovi naši in hčere naše,

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

⁹in ne zidajmo hiš v domovanje svoje; tudi nimamo vinograda ali polja ali setve,

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

¹⁰temuč prebivamo v šatorih in poslušamo in delamo, prav kakor nam je zapovedal Jonadab, naš oče.

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.

¹¹Ko pa je šel Nebukadnezar, kralj babilonski, gori v to deželo, smo rekli: Dejte, pojdimo v Jeruzalem pred vojsko Kaldejcev in pred vojsko Sircev! Tako smo se nastanili v Jeruzalemu.

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

¹²Tedaj pride beseda GOSPODOVA Jeremiju, rekoč:

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.

¹³Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Pojdi in reci možem Judovim in prebivalcem jeruzalemskim: Ali ne sprejmete nauka, da bi poslušali besede moje? govori GOSPOD.

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.

¹⁴Besede Jonadaba, sinú Rehabovega, ki je ž njimi prepovedal otrokom svojim, naj ne pijo vina, se izpolnjujejo; kajti niso pili do tega dne, ker poslušajo zapoved očeta svojega. Jaz pa sem vam govoril od ranega jutra in neprenehoma, a niste me poslušali.

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.

¹⁵In pošiljal sem k vam vse hlapce svoje, proroke, od ranega jutra in neprenehoma, govoreč: Povrnite se vendar s hudobnega pota svojega in dobra naredite dejanja svoja in ne hodite za tujimi bogovi, da bi jih častili, tako ostanete v tej deželi, ki sem jo izročil vam in očetom vašim: toda niste nagnili ušesa svojega in niste me poslušali.

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:

¹⁶Pač izpolnjujejo otroci Jonadaba, sinu Rehabovega, zapoved očeta svojega, ki jim jo je zapovedal; to ljudstvo pa ne posluša mene.

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.

¹⁷Zatorej pravi tako GOSPOD, Bog nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Glej, jaz pripeljem nad Judo in nad vse prebivalce jeruzalemske vso tisto nesrečo, ki sem jo izgovoril zoper nje; zato ker me niso poslušali, ko sem jim govoril, in niso odgovorili, ko sem jih klical.

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:

¹⁸In družini Rehabovcev je rekel Jeremija: Tako pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Ker poslušate zapoved Jonadaba, očeta svojega, in se držite vseh zapovedi njegovih in delate vse, kakor vam je zapovedal,zato pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Jonadabu, sinu Rehabovemu, ne bo zmanjkalo moža, ki bo stal pred obličjem mojim, vse čase.

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.

¹⁹zato pravi GOSPOD nad vojskami, Bog Izraelov: Jonadabu, sinu Rehabovemu, ne bo zmanjkalo moža, ki bo stal pred obličjem mojim, vse čase.
