1The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
1 Yahuda bonkoono Yehoyacim Yosiya izo jirbey ra, sanni fun Rabbi do ka kaa Irimiya do ka ne:
2Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Yahweh, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.
2 Ma koy Rekab borey do ka salaŋ i se. Ma kand'ey mo Rabbi windo ra, fu-ize fo ra, k'i no duvan* i ma haŋ.
3Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
3 Ay binde na Yaazaniya Irimiya izo, Habazaniya ize nd'a nya-izey kulu, d'a izey kulu, da Rekab borey kunda kulu sambu ka kand'ey ay banda.
4and I brought them into the house of Yahweh, 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.
4 Ay kand'ey Rabbi windo ra k'i daŋ Hanan izey fu-izo ra. Hanan din baaba ga ti Irikoy bora Igdaliya. Fu-izo din ga maan windikoyey fu-izo, kaŋ go Maaseya Sallum ize kaŋ ga windi me batu fu-izo boŋ.
5I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, Drink wine!
5 Kal ay na taasayaŋ nda gaasiyayaŋ toonandi nda duvan ka daŋ Rekab borey kunda jine. Ay ne i se: «Wa haŋ duvan.»
6But 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 sons, forever:
6 Amma i ne: «Iri si duvan haŋ bo! Zama iri kaayo Yonadab Rekab izo no k'iri lordi ka ne: ‹Araŋ ma si duvan haŋ, d'araŋ no wala araŋ izey hal abada.
7neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land in which you live.
7 Araŋ ma si windi cina, araŋ ma si dum'izeyaŋ duma, araŋ ma si reyzin* kaliyaŋ tilam, araŋ ma si goro nd'ey mo. Amma araŋ fundey jirbi kulu kuuru-fu ra no araŋ ga goro, zama araŋ ma te aloomar kuuku laabo kaŋ araŋ zumbu din ra.›
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, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
8 Iri mo, iri goono g'iri kaayo Yonadab Rekab izo sanno gana, hay kulu kaŋ a n'iri lordi nd'a ra. Iri si duvan haŋ iri jirbey kulu ra, iri nd'iri wandey, d'iri ize arey d'ize wayey mo.
9nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
9 Iri si windiyaŋ cina kaŋ ra iri ga goro, iri sinda reyzin kali, wala fari, wala dum'ize mo.
10but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
10 Amma iri goro kuuru-fu yaŋ ra, iri n'a sanno gana, iri goy mo mate kulu kaŋ iri kaayo Yonadab n'iri lordi nd'a din boŋ.
11But it happened, when Nebuchadnezzar 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.
11 Amma waato kaŋ Babila bonkoono Nebukadnezzar kaa laabo ra, iri ne: To, kaa, iri ma koy Urusalima ka mooru Kaldancey wongu marga da Suriyancey wongu marga. A se no iri goono ga goro Urusalima ra.»
12Then came the word of Yahweh to Jeremiah, saying,
12 Kala Rabbi sanno kaa Irimiya do ka ne:
13Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Go, and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words? says Yahweh.
13 Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo, Israyla Irikoyo ci: Ma koy ka ne Yahuda borey da Urusalima ra gorokoy se: Araŋ si ba araŋ ma dondonandiyaŋ ta ka laakal ye ay sanno gaa no? Yaadin no Rabbi ci.
14The 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.
14 Yonadab Rekab izo sanno, kaŋ a na nga izey lordi nd'a ka ne i ma si duvan haŋ, i n'a toonandi. Hala hunkuna mo i siino g'a haŋ, zama i goono ga ngey kaayo sanno gana. Amma ay wo salaŋ araŋ se, ay soobay ka ci ka yaara, amma araŋ mana hangan ay se.
15I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and don’t go after other gods to serve them, and you shall 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.
15 Ay n'ay tam annabey kulu donton araŋ gaa. Ay ga soobay k'i donton ka ne araŋ se: Wa ye ka kaa sohõ, boro fo kulu ma fay da nga fondo laala, w'araŋ muraadey barmay mo. Araŋ ma si de-koy fooyaŋ gana zama araŋ ma may i se. Yaadin gaa araŋ ga goro laabo ra kaŋ ay n'araŋ d'araŋ kaayey no. Amma araŋ mana hanga jeeri ay se, araŋ mana laakal ye ay gaa mo.
16Because 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;
16 Daahir Yonadab Rekab izo izey na ngey kaayo lordo kaŋ a n'i lordi nd'a din gana, amma dumi woone wo mana hangan ay se.
17therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Armies, the God of Israel: 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.
17 Woodin sabbay se, yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo, Israyla Irikoyo ci: A go, masiiba kulu kaŋ ay ci Yahuda nda Urusalima gorokoy kulu boŋ, ay g'a candi ka kande i gaa. Zama ay salaŋ i se, amma i mana maa ay se. Ay n'i ce, amma i mana tu.
18Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you;
18 Irimiya mo ne Rekab kunda se: Yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo, Israyla Irikoyo ci: Za kaŋ araŋ n'araŋ kaayo Yonadab lordo gana, araŋ n'a hin sanney kulu haggoy mo, araŋ goy mo haŋ kaŋ a n'araŋ lordi nd'a kulu boŋ,
19therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.
19 woodin sabbay se, yaa no Rabbi Kundeykoyo, Israyla Irikoyo ci: Yonadab Rekab izo si jaŋ boro kaŋ ga kay ay jine hal abada.
