Ang mga Recabnon

35 Sang si Jehoyakim nga anak ni Josia ang hari sang Juda, nagsiling ang Ginoo kay Jeremias, “Magkadto ka sa mga pamilya sang mga Recabnon kag hambala sila nga magkadto sa isa sa mga kuwarto sang templo kag paimna sila didto sang bino.”

Gani ginkadtuan ko si Jaazania, nga anak sang akon tukayo nga si Jeremias nga anak ni Habazinia, kag ang tanan niya nga mga utod kag mga anak. Ini sila tanan ang mga pamilya sang mga Recabnon. Gindala ko sila sa templo sang Ginoo, didto sa kuwarto sang mga anak nga lalaki ni Hanan nga anak ni Igdalia nga alagad sang Dios. Ini nga kuwarto tupad sang kuwarto sang mga opisyal kag ara sa ibabaw sang kuwarto ni Maasea nga anak ni Shalum, nga manugbantay sang puwertahan sang templo. Dayon nagbutang ako sang mga pitsil nga may bino kag mga kupa sa atubangan sang mga Recabnon kag ginsilingan sila nga mag-inom.

Pero nagsabat sila, “Wala kami nagainom sang bino. Ang amon katigulangan nga si Jonadab nga anak ni Recab nagmando sa amon kag sa amon mga kaliwat nga indi gid mag-inom sang bino. Kag amo pa gid ini ang iya ginmando sa amon: ‘Indi kamo magpatindog sang mga balay ukon magpanguma ukon magtanom sang ubas; indi gid kamo magpanag-iya sang sini nga mga butang. Kinahanglan nga sa mga tolda lang kamo maestar. Kag kon tumanon ninyo ini, magakabuhi kamo sing malawig sa bisan diin nga duta nga inyo estaran.’ Gintuman namon ang tanan nga ginsugo sa amon sang amon katigulangan nga si Jonadab. Kami kag ang amon mga asawa kag mga kabataan wala gid mag-inom sang bino, ukon magpatindog sang mga balay para estaran, ukon magpanag-iya sang mga talamnan sang ubas kag mga uma. 10 Nag-estar kami sa mga tolda kag gintuman gid namon ang tanan nga ginsugo sa amon ni Jonadab. 11 Pero sang ginsalakay ni Haring Nebucadnezar sang Babilonia ang ini nga nasyon, hinadlukan kami sa mga soldado sang Babilonia kag sang Aram,[a] gani nagdesisyon kami nga magpalagyo diri sa sulod sang Jerusalem. Amo ina kon ngaa ari kami diri.”

12-13 Nagsiling pa gid ang Ginoo nga Makagagahom, ang Dios sang Israel, kay Jeremias, “Maglakat ka kag silinga ang katawhan sang Juda kag Jerusalem: Ngaa nga indi kamo magpamati kag magtuman sa akon mga pulong? 14 Si Jonadab nga anak ni Recab nagmando sa iya mga kaliwat nga indi sila mag-inom sang bino, kag nagtuman sila. Hasta subong wala sila nagainom sang bino kay ginatuman nila ang sugo sang ila katigulangan. Pero kamo iya wala gid magtuman sa akon bisan kapila ako maghambal sa inyo 15 paagi sa mga propeta nga akon mga alagad. Nagasiling sila sa inyo, ‘Magbiya na kamo sa inyo malaot nga pagginawi kag bag-uha na ninyo ang inyo pamatasan kag indi na kamo magsimba ukon mag-alagad sa mga dios-dios. Dayon magakabuhi kamo sa duta nga ginhatag ko sa inyo kag sa inyo mga katigulangan.’ Pero wala gid kamo magtuman ukon magpamati sa akon. 16 Ang mga kaliwat ni Jonadab nga anak ni Recab nagtuman sa ginsugo sa ila sang ila katigulangan, pero kamo iya wala gid magtuman sa akon. 17 Gani ako, ang Ginoong Dios nga Makagagahom, ang Dios sang Israel, nagasiling: Pamati! Kamo nga katawhan sang Juda kag Jerusalem padal-an ko sang mga kalaglagan nga akon ginsiling kontra sa inyo. Nagpakighambal ako sa inyo pero wala kamo magpamati; nagpanawag ako sa inyo pero wala kamo magsabat.”

18 Dayon ginsilingan ni Jeremias ang mga pamilya sang mga Recabnon parte sa ginsiling sang Ginoo nga Makagagahom, ang Dios sang Israel: “Ginsunod gid ninyo ang tanan nga ginsugo sang inyo katigulangan nga si Jonadab. 19 Gani nagapromisa ako nga si Jonadab nga anak ni Recab indi madulaan sang kaliwat nga nagaalagad sa akon. Ako, ang Ginoo nga Makagagahom, ang Dios sang Israel, ang nagasiling sini.”

The Rekabites

35 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord during the reign of Jehoiakim(A) son of Josiah king of Judah: “Go to the Rekabite(B) family and invite them to come to one of the side rooms(C) of the house of the Lord and give them wine to drink.”

So I went to get Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers and all his sons—the whole family of the Rekabites. I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the room of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah the man of God.(D) It was next to the room of the officials, which was over that of Maaseiah son of Shallum(E) the doorkeeper.(F) Then I set bowls full of wine and some cups before the Rekabites and said to them, “Drink some wine.”

But they replied, “We do not drink wine, because our forefather Jehonadab[a](G) son of Rekab gave us this command: ‘Neither you nor your descendants must ever drink wine.(H) Also you must never build houses, sow seed or plant vineyards; you must never have any of these things, but must always live in tents.(I) Then you will live a long time in the land(J) where you are nomads.’ We have obeyed everything our forefather(K) Jehonadab son of Rekab commanded us. Neither we nor our wives nor our sons and daughters have ever drunk wine or built houses to live in or had vineyards, fields or crops.(L) 10 We have lived in tents and have fully obeyed everything our forefather Jehonadab commanded us. 11 But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon invaded(M) this land, we said, ‘Come, we must go to Jerusalem(N) to escape the Babylonian[b] and Aramean armies.’ So we have remained in Jerusalem.”

12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying: 13 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell(O) the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, ‘Will you not learn a lesson(P) and obey my words?’ declares the Lord. 14 ‘Jehonadab son of Rekab ordered his descendants not to drink wine and this command has been kept. To this day they do not drink wine, because they obey their forefather’s command.(Q) But I have spoken to you again and again,(R) yet you have not obeyed(S) me. 15 Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets(T) to you. They said, “Each of you must turn(U) from your wicked ways and reform(V) your actions; do not follow other gods(W) to serve them. Then you will live in the land(X) I have given to you and your ancestors.” But you have not paid attention or listened(Y) to me. 16 The descendants of Jehonadab son of Rekab have carried out the command their forefather(Z) gave them, but these people have not obeyed me.’

17 “Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Listen! I am going to bring on Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem every disaster(AA) I pronounced against them. I spoke to them, but they did not listen;(AB) I called to them, but they did not answer.’”(AC)

18 Then Jeremiah said to the family of the Rekabites, “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘You have obeyed the command of your forefather(AD) Jehonadab and have followed all his instructions and have done everything he ordered.’ 19 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: ‘Jehonadab son of Rekab will never fail(AE) to have a descendant to serve(AF) me.’”

  2. Jeremiah 35:11 Or Chaldean

35 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,

Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.

Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;

And I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:

And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.

But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:

Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.

Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;

Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar 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.

12 Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, saying,

13 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Lord.

14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.

15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.

16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.

18 And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.

The Obedient Rechabites

35 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying, “Go to the house of the (A)Rechabites, speak to them, and bring them into the house of the Lord, into one of (B)the chambers, and give them wine to drink.”

Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, his brothers and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites, and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, (C)the keeper of the [a]door. Then I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, “Drink wine.”

But they said, “We will drink no wine, for (D)Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, ‘You shall drink (E)no wine, you nor your sons, forever. You shall not build a house, sow seed, plant a vineyard, nor have any of these; but all your days you shall dwell in tents, (F)that you may live many days in the land where you are sojourners.’ Thus we have (G)obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters, nor to build ourselves houses to dwell in; nor do we have vineyard, field, or seed. 10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. 11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, ‘Come, let us (H)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.”

12 Then came the word of the Lord to Jeremiah, saying, 13 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, “Will you not (I)receive instruction to [b]obey My words?” says the Lord. 14 “The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, which he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; for to this day they drink none, and obey their father’s commandment. (J)But although I have spoken to you, (K)rising early and speaking, you did not [c]obey Me. 15 I have also sent to you all My (L)servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, (M)‘Turn now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them; then you will (N)dwell in the land which I have given you and your fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me. 16 Surely the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their (O)father, which he commanded them, but this people has not obeyed Me.” ’

17 “Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the doom that I have pronounced against them; (P)because I have spoken to them but they have not heard, and I have called to them but they have not answered.’ ”

18 And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, 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, 19 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not lack a man to (Q)stand before Me forever.” ’ ”
