耶利米書 35

當猶大王約西亞之子約雅敬的時候，耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：

dāng yóu dà wáng yuē xī yà zhī zǐ yuē yǎ jìng de shí hòu ， yē hé huá de huà lín dào yē lì mǐ shuō ：

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

「你去見利甲族的人，和他們說話，領他們進入耶和華殿的一間屋子，給他們酒喝。」

「 nǐ qù jiàn lì jiǎ zú de rén ， hé tā men shuō huà ， lǐng tā men jìn rù yē hé huá diàn de yì jiān wū zi ， gěi tā men jiǔ hē 。」

“Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the LORD’s house, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink.”

我就將哈巴洗尼雅的孫子雅利米雅的兒子雅撒尼亞和他弟兄，並他眾子，以及利甲全族的人，

wǒ jiù jiāng hā bā xǐ ní yǎ de sūn zi yǎ lì mǐ yǎ de ér zi yǎ sā ní yà hé tā dì xiong ， bìng tā zhòng zǐ ， yǐ jí lì jiǎ quán zú de rén ，

Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, with his brothers, all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

領到耶和華的殿，進入神人伊基大利的兒子哈難眾子的屋子。那屋子在首領的屋子旁邊，在沙龍之子把門的瑪西雅屋子以上。

lǐng dào yē hé huá de diàn ， jìn rù shén rén yī jī dà lì de ér zi hā nán zhòng zǐ de wū zi 。 nà wū zǐ zài shǒu lǐng de wū zi páng biān ， zài shā lóng zhī zǐ bǎ mén de mǎ xī yǎ wū zi yǐ shàng 。

and I brought them into the LORD’s house, 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.

於是我在利甲族人面前設擺盛滿酒的碗和杯，對他們說：「請你們喝酒。」

yú shì wǒ zài lì jiǎ zú rén miàn qián shè bǎi shèng mǎn jiǔ de wǎn hé bēi ， duì tā men shuō ：「 qǐng nǐ men hē jiǔ 。」

I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “Drink wine!”

他們卻說：「我們不喝酒；因為我們先祖利甲的兒子約拿達曾吩咐我們說：『你們與你們的子孫永不可喝酒，

tā men què shuō ：「 wǒ men bù hē jiǔ ； yīn wèi wǒ men xiān zǔ lì jiǎ de ér zi yuē ná dá céng fēn fù wǒ men shuō ：『 nǐ men yǔ nǐ men de zǐ sūn yǒng bù kě hē jiǔ ，

But 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 children, forever.

也不可蓋房、撒種、栽種葡萄園，但一生的年日要住帳棚，使你們的日子在寄居之地得以延長。』

yě bù kě gài fáng 、 sā zhǒng 、 zāi zhòng pú táo yuán ， dàn yì shēng de nián rì yào zhù zhàng péng ， shǐ nǐ men de rì zi zài jì jū zhī dì dé yǐ yán cháng 。』

You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, or have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, that you may live many days in the land in which you live as nomads.’

凡我們先祖利甲的兒子約拿達所吩咐我們的話，我們都聽從了。我們和我們的妻子兒女一生的年日都不喝酒，

fán wǒ men xiān zǔ lì jiǎ de ér zi yuē ná dá suǒ fēn fù wǒ men de huà ， wǒ men dōu tīng cóng le 。 wǒ men hé wǒ men de qī zǐ ér nǚ yì shēng de nián rì dōu bù hē jiǔ ，

We 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;

也不蓋房居住，也沒有葡萄園、田地，和種子，

yě bú gài fáng jū zhù ， yě méi yǒu pú táo yuán 、 tián dì ， hé zhǒng zi ，

and not to build houses for ourselves to dwell in. We have no vineyard, field, or seed;

但住帳棚，聽從我們先祖約拿達的話，照他所吩咐我們的去行。

dàn zhù zhàng péng ， tīng cóng wǒ men xiān zǔ yuē ná dá de huà ， zhào tā suǒ fēn fù wǒ men de qù xíng 。

but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒上此地來，我們因怕迦勒底的軍隊和亞蘭的軍隊，就說：『來吧，我們到耶路撒冷去。』這樣，我們才住在耶路撒冷。」

bā bǐ lún wáng ní bù jiǎ ní sā shàng cǐ dì lái ， wǒ men yīn pà jiā lè dǐ de jūn duì hé yà lán de jūn duì ， jiù shuō ：『 lái ba ， wǒ men dào yē lù sā lěng qù 。』 zhè yàng ， wǒ men cái zhù zài yē lù sā lěng 。」

But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, we said, ‘Come! Let’s go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians; so we will dwell at Jerusalem.’”

耶和華的話臨到耶利米說：

yē hé huá de huà lín dào yē lì mǐ shuō ：

Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,

「萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：你去對猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民說，耶和華說：你們不受教訓，不聽從我的話嗎？

「 wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： nǐ qù duì yóu dà rén hé yē lù sā lěng de jū mín shuō ， yē hé huá shuō ： nǐ men bú shòu jiào xùn ， bù tīng cóng wǒ de huà ma ？

“The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?” says the LORD.

利甲的兒子約拿達所吩咐他子孫不可喝酒的話，他們已經遵守，直到今日也不喝酒，因為他們聽從先祖的吩咐。我從早起來警戒你們，你們卻不聽從我。

lì jiǎ de ér zi yuē ná dá suǒ fēn fù tā zǐ sūn bù kě hē jiǔ de huà ， tā men yǐ jīng zūn shǒu ， zhí dào jīn rì yě bù hē jiǔ ， yīn wèi tā men tīng cóng xiān zǔ de fēn fù 。 wǒ cóng zǎo qǐ lái jǐng jiè nǐ men ， nǐ men què bù tīng cóng wǒ 。

“The 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.

我從早起來，差遣我的僕人眾先知去，說：『你們各人當回頭，離開惡道，改正行為，不隨從事奉別神，就必住在我所賜給你們和你們列祖的地上。』只是你們沒有聽從我，也沒有側耳而聽。

wǒ cóng zǎo qǐ lái ， chāi qiǎn wǒ de pú rén zhòng xiān zhī qù ， shuō ：『 nǐ men gè rén dāng huí tóu ， lí kāi è dào ， gǎi zhèng xíng wèi ， bù suí cóng shì fèng bié shén ， jiù bì zhù zài wǒ suǒ cì gěi nǐ men hé nǐ men liè zǔ de dì shàng 。』 zhǐ shì nǐ men méi yǒu tīng cóng wǒ ， yě méi yǒu cè ěr ér tīng 。

I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, ‘Every one of you must return now from his evil way, amend your doings, and don’t go after other gods to serve them. Then you will 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.

利甲的兒子約拿達的子孫能遵守先人所吩咐他們的命，這百姓卻沒有聽從我！

lì jiǎ de ér zi yuē ná dá de zǐ sūn néng zūn shǒu xiān rén suǒ fēn fù tā men de mìng ， zhè bǎi xìng què méi yǒu tīng cóng wǒ ！

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.”’

因此，耶和華－萬軍之上帝、以色列的上帝如此說：我要使我所說的一切災禍臨到猶大人和耶路撒冷的一切居民。因為我對他們說話，他們沒有聽從；我呼喚他們，他們沒有答應。」

yīn cǐ ， yē hé huá — wàn jūn zhī shén 、 yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ yào shǐ wǒ suǒ shuō de yí qiè zāi huò lín dào yóu dà rén hé yē lù sā lěng de yí qiè jū mín 。 yīn wèi wǒ duì tā men shuō huà ， tā men méi yǒu tīng cóng ； wǒ hū huàn tā men ， tā men méi yǒu dā ying 。」

“Therefore the LORD, the God of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘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.’”

耶利米對利甲族的人說：「萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：因你們聽從你們先祖約拿達的吩咐，謹守他的一切誡命，照他所吩咐你們的去行，

yē lì mǐ duì lì jiǎ zú de rén shuō ：「 wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： yīn nǐ men tīng cóng nǐ men xiān zǔ yuē ná dá de fēn fù ， jǐn shǒu tā de yí qiè jiè mìng ， zhào tā suǒ fēn fù nǐ men de qù xíng ，

Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,’

所以萬軍之耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：利甲的兒子約拿達必永不缺人侍立在我面前。」

suǒ yǐ wàn jūn zhī yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén rú cǐ shuō ： lì jiǎ de ér zi yuē ná dá bì yǒng bù quē rén shì lì zài wǒ miàn qián 。」

therefore the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jonadab the son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before me forever.’”
