Da Rekab Ohana
1 ✡35:1: 2Kings 23:36–24:6; 2Rec 36:5-7Wen Jehoiakim, Josiah boy, stay da Judah king, dis one message Jeremiah get from Da One In Charge: 2 “Go by da Rekab ohana guys. Tell um fo come inside one a da side rooms inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge. Wen dey come inside, give um wine fo drink.”
3 So I go get Jaazaniah (his faddah anodda Jeremiah boy dass Habazziniah grankid), fo bring him an his braddahs an all his boys—dis da whole Rekab ohana. 4 I bring dem inside da Temple Fo Da One In Charge, inside da room dat Hanan guys use. Hanan, Igdaliah boy, he one guy dat stay tight wit God. Dat room stay nex to da room fo da guys in charge a da Temple, an upstairs from da room fo Maaseiah, Shallum boy, da security guard guy. 5 Den I put pitchas full a wine an cups in front da guys from da Rekab ohana, an tell um, “Go drink wine.”
6 But dey tell, “Us guys no drink wine, cuz oua ancesta guy Jonadab, Rekab boy, wen tell us guys, ‘No mo nobody from you guys o yoa kids can drink wine. 7 Same ting fo houses—you guys no can build um, o throw seed, o plant grape plants, o own grape farms. But you guys an yoa kids goin live inside tents till you mahke. Az how you guys goin live long time inside da land. You guys goin live dea but you no goin own da land.’ 8 Us guys wen lissen eryting oua ancesta guy Jonadab, Rekab boy, tell us fo do. No mo nobody from us guys, oua wifes, oua boys, o oua girls, eva drink wine. 9 We no build house an live inside um, o plant grape farms, o fields, o throw seed fo food. 10 We ony live inside tents, an do eryting oua ancesta guy Jonadab tell us fo do. 11 But wen Nebukadnezzar da Babylon king come fo attack dis land, we tell each odda, ‘Go come, fo us go inside Jerusalem fo run away from da Babylon an Aram army guys.’ Az why us guys stay inside Jerusalem now.”
12 Den get anodda message from Da One In Charge fo Jeremiah: 13 “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: Go tell da Judah guys an da peopo dat live inside Jerusalem, ‘Eh! You guys like learn someting, o wat?! You can learn how fo lissen wat I tell you fo do! 14 Long time befo time, Jonadab, Rekab boy, wen tell his boys fo no drink wine. Dey no drink even today, cuz dey wen lissen wat dea ancesta guy tell dem fo do. But me, I tell you guys ova an ova, an still yet you guys no lissen. 15 Plenny times, I tell all my worka guys dat talk fo me fo go by you guys. Dey tell you: All you guys, one by one, no do da bad kine stuff you guys stay do no moa. You gotta start fo do wass right. No follow da odda gods an work fo dem. Den fo shua you guys can come back fo live on top da land I wen give you guys an yoa ancesta guys. But you guys still no use yoa ears fo lissen me. 16 Da guys dat come from Rekab boy Jonadab, dey lissen wat Jonadab tell um fo do. But dese peopo no lissen me.’
17 “Az why me, Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies an da God fo da Israel peopo, tell dis: ‘Lissen up! I goin make bad tings happen to da Judah peopo an all da peopo dat live inside Jerusalem. All da bad kine stuff I tell, goin happen to dem. Cuz I talk to dem, but dey no lissen. I call dem, but dey make jalike dey no hear me.’ ”
18 But fo da Rekab ohana peopo, Jeremiah tell dis: “Dis wat Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, dass da God fo da Israel peopo, tell: ‘You guys wen lissen wat yoa ancesta guy Jonadab tell you guys fo do. You make shua fo do eryting he tell you guys fo do. 19 Az why me, Da One In Charge, da God Ova All Da Armies, an da God fo da Israel peopo, tell dis: “Rekab boy Jonadab, his ohana erytime goin get peopo in place fo work in front me.” ’ ”
