Yeremia 35:7
Jeremiah 35:7 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Pia msijenge nyumba kamwe, wala kuotesha mbegu au kupanda mashamba ya mizabibu. Kamwe msiwe na kitu chochote katika hivi, lakini siku zote lazima muishi kwenye mahema. Ndipo mtakapoishi kwa muda mrefu katika nchi ambayo ninyi ni wahamiaji.’
Jeremiah 35:7 in English
Jeremiah 35:7 · Berean Standard Bible
Nor are you ever to build a house or sow seed or plant a vineyard. Those things are not for you. Instead, you must live in tents all your lives, so that you may live a long time in the land where you wander.’
Context
5Kisha nikaweka mabakuli yaliyojaa divai na baadhi ya vikombe mbele ya watu wa jamaa ya Warekabi na kuwaambia, “Kunyweni divai.” 6Lakini wao wakajibu, “Sisi hatunywi divai, kwa sababu baba yetu Yonadabu mwana wa Rekabu, alitupa agizo hili: ‘Ninyi wala wazao wenu kamwe msinywe divai. 7Pia msijenge nyumba kamwe, wala kuotesha mbegu au kupanda mashamba ya mizabibu. Kamwe msiwe na kitu chochote katika hivi, lakini siku zote lazima muishi kwenye mahema. Ndipo mtakapoishi kwa muda mrefu katika nchi ambayo ninyi ni wahamiaji.’ 8Tumetii kila kitu ambacho baba yetu Yonadabu mwana wa Rekabu alituamuru. Sisi wenyewe wala wake zetu wala wana wetu na binti zetu kamwe hatujanywa divai 9wala kujenga nyumba za kuishi au kuwa na mashamba ya mizabibu, mashamba au mazao.
