Jeremiah 35:8 in English

Context
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. 10Tumeishi katika mahema na tumetii kikamilifu kila kitu alichotuamuru baba yetu Yonadabu.
