¹Slovo, ktoré sa stalo od Hospodina k Jeremiášovi vo dňoch Jehojakima, syna Joziášovho, judského kráľa, povediac:

¹The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:

²Iď do domu Rechabitov a budeš hovoriť s nimi a dovedieš ich do domu Hospodinovho do jednej z chýž a budeš im dávať piť víno.

²`Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and thou hast spoken with them, and brought them into the house of Jehovah, unto one of the chambers, and caused them to drink wine.`

³A tak som pojal Jazaniáša, syna Jeremiáša, syna Chabaciniášovho, i jeho bratov i všetkých jeho synov i všetok dom Rechabitov.

³And I take Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and all the house of the Rechabites,

⁴A doviedol som ich do domu Hospodinovho, do chyže synov Chanána, syna Jigdaliášovho, muža Božieho, ktorá bola vedľa chyže kniežat, ktorá bola nad komorou Maaseiáša, syna Šallúmovho, strážcu prahu.

⁴and bring them into the house of Jehovah, unto the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, that [is] near to the chamber of the princes, that [is] above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum, keeper of the threshold;

⁵A postavil som pred synov domu Rechabitov žbánky, plné vína, a poháre a povedal som im: Pite víno!

⁵and I put before the sons of the house of the Rechabites goblets full of wine, and cups, and I say unto them, Drink ye wine.

⁶Ale oni riekli: Nepijeme vína. Lebo Jonadáb, syn Rechabov, náš otec, nám zakázal a povedal: Nebudete piť vína ani vy ani vaši synovia až na veky.

⁶And they say, `We do not drink wine: for Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, charged us, saying, Ye do not drink wine, ye and your sons — unto the age;

⁷Ani nebudete staväť domu ani nebudete siať semena ani nebudete sadiť vinice ani ich nebudete mať, ale budete bývať v stánoch po všetky svoje dni, aby ste žili mnoho dní na tvári zeme, v ktorej pohostínite.

⁷and a house ye do not build, and seed ye do not sow, and a vineyard ye do not plant, nor have ye any; for in tents do ye dwell all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of the ground whither ye are sojourning.

⁸A tak sme poslúchli hlas Jonadába, syna Rechabovho, svojho otca, vo všetkom, čo nám prikázal, totiž aby sme nepili vína po všetky svoje dni ani my ani naše ženy ani naši synovia ani naše dcéry

⁸`And we hearken to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab, our father, to all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters;

⁹a aby sme nestaväli domov, aby sme v nich bývali, ani nemali ani vinice ani poľa ani semena,

⁹nor to build houses for our dwelling; and vineyard, and field, and seed, we have none;

¹⁰a preto bývame v stánoch a poslúchame a robíme všetko tak, ako nám to prikázal Jonadáb, náš otec.

¹⁰and we dwell in tents, and we hearken, and we do according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us;

¹¹A stalo sa, keď prišiel Nabuchodonozor, babylonský kráľ, hore do zeme, že sme povedali: Poďte a vojdime do Jeruzalema pred vojskom Chaldejov a pred vojskom Sýrov, a tak bývame v Jeruzaleme.

¹¹and it cometh to pass, in the coming up of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon unto the land, that we say, Come, and we enter Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans, and because of the force of Aram — and we dwell in Jerusalem.`

¹²A stalo sa slovo Hospodinovo k Jeremiášovi povediac:

¹²And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel:

¹³Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Iď a povieš mužom Júdovým a obyvateľom Jeruzalema: Či si nevezmete naučenia, aby ste počúvali na moje slová? hovorí Hospodin.

¹³`Go, and thou hast said to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Do ye not receive instruction? — to hearken unto My words — an affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁴Stoja slová Jonadába, syna Rechabovho, ktorý prikázal svojim synom, aby nepili vína, a nepili až do tohoto dňa, lebo poslúchajú prikázanie svojho otca. A ja vám hovorím vstávajúc skoro za rána a vše len hovorím, ale nepočúvate na mňa.

¹⁴Performed have been the words of Jonadab son of Rechab, when he commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not drunk unto this day, for they have obeyed the command of their father; and I — I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened unto Me.

¹⁵A posielal som k vám všetkých svojich služobníkov prorokov vstávajúc skoro za rána a posielajúc znova a znova a hovorím: Nože sa navráťte každý od svojej zlej cesty a robte tak, aby boly vaše skutky dobré, a nechoďte za inými bohmi, aby ste im slúžili, a bývajte v zemi, ktorú som dal vám i vašim otcom, ale nenaklonili ste svojho ucha ani nepočúvate na mňa.

¹⁵And I send unto you all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending, saying: Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and amend your doings, yea, ye do not walk after other gods, to serve them, and dwell ye on the ground that I have given to you and to your fathers; and ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto Me.

¹⁶Lebo synovia Jonadába, syna Rechabovho, zachovávajú prikázanie svojho otca, ktoré im prikázal; ale tento ľud nepočúva na mňa.

¹⁶`Because the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab have performed the command of their father, that he commanded them, and this people have not hearkened unto Me,

¹⁷Preto takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Hľa, uvediem na Júdu a na všetkých obyvateľov Jeruzalema všetko to zlé, ktoré som hovoril proti nim, pretože som im hovorieval, ale neposlúchli; volával som na nich, ale sa neohlásili.

¹⁷therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am bringing in unto Judah, and unto all inhabitants of Jerusalem, all the evil that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken unto them, and they have not hearkened, yea, I call to them, and they have not answered.`

¹⁸A domu Rechabitov povedal Jeremiáš: Takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Preto, že poslúchate prikázanie Jonadába, svojho otca, a ostríhate všetky jeho prikázania a robíte všetko tak, ako vám to prikázal,

¹⁸And to the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Because that ye have hearkened unto the command of Jonadab your father, and ye observe all his commands, and do according to all that he commanded you;

¹⁹preto takto hovorí Hospodin Zástupov, Bôh Izraelov: Nebude vyťatý muž Jonadábovi, synovi Rechabovmu, ktorý by stál pred mojou tvárou, po všetky dni.

¹⁹therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Of Jonadab son of Rechab one standing before me is not cut off all the days.`
