Reerkii Reekaab

35 Kanu waa eraygii Yeremyaah xagga Rabbiga uga yimid wakhtigii Yehooyaaqiim ina Yoosiyaah uu boqorka ka ahaa dalka Yahuudah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad u tagtaa reer Reekaab, oo la hadal, oo guriga Rabbiga qolladihiisa middood geli, waxaanad siisaa khamri ay cabbaan. Markaasaan soo kaxaystay Ya'asanyaah ina Yeremyaah oo ahaa ina Habasinyaah, iyo walaalihiis, iyo wiilashiisii oo dhan, iyo qoyskii reer Reekaab oo dhan, oo gurigii Rabbigana waan keenay, oo waxaan soo geliyey qolladdii ilma Xaanaan kaasoo ahaa ina Yigdalyaah oo ahaa nin Ilaah u go'ay, taasoo ku dhinac tiil qolladdii amiirrada, oo ka sii korraysay qolladdii Macaseeyaah ina Shalluum ee iridjooge ahaa. Markaasaan wiilashii reer Reekaab soo hor dhigay weelal khamri ka buuxo iyo koobab, oo waxaan ku idhi, Khamrigan cabba. Laakiinse waxay yidhaahdeen, Innaba khamri cabbi mayno, waayo, awowgayo Yoonaadaab oo ahaa ina Reekaab ayaa nagu amray oo nagu yidhi, Weligiin idinka iyo wiilashiinnuba waa inaydaan khamri cabbin. Oo innaba guri ha dhisanina, abuurna ha daadinina, oo beercanabna ha beeranina, hana yeelanina, laakiinse cimrigiinna oo dhan waxaad degganaataan teendhooyin si aad wakhti dheer u sii joogtaan dalka aad deggan tihiin. Oo annagu waannu addeecnay codkii awowgayo Yoonaadaab ina Reekaab oo nagu amray inaannan innaba khamri cabbin cimrigayaga oo dhan, annaga, iyo naagahayaga, iyo wiilashayada, iyo gabdhahayaguba, iyo inaannan guryo aan ku degnona innaba dhisan, oo weliba annagu ma aannu lihin beercanab, ama beer kale, amase abuurba, 10 laakiinse teendhooyin baannu ku degganayn, oo waannu addeecnay, waanan wada samaynay sidii awowgayo Yoonaadaab uu nagu amray oo dhan. 11 Laakiinse markii Nebukadresar oo boqorka Baabuloon ahu uu dalka yimid ayaannu isnidhi, Ina keena aynu Yeruusaalem u guurnee, waana cabsida aannu ciidanka reer Kaldayiin, iyo ciidanka reer Suuriya ka cabsannay aawadeed, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaannu Yeruusaalem ku deggan nahay.

12 Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu Yeremyaah u yimid, isagoo leh, 13 Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Tag, oo dadka Yahuudah iyo kuwa Yeruusaalem degganba waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, War, tacliin miyeydaan qaadanayn inaad erayadayda maqashaan? 14 Yoonaadaab ina Reekaab erayadiisii uu wiilashiisa ku amray inayan innaba khamri cabbin waa la wada oofiyey, oo ilaa maantadan la joogo iyagu khamrina ma cabbaan, waayo, waxay addeecaan amarkii awowgood, aniguse waan idinla hadlay, anigoo goor wanaagsan idinla hadlaya, laakiinse innaba ima aydaan dhegaysan. 15 Oo weliba waxaan idiin soo diray nebiyadii addoommadayda ahaa anigoo goor wanaagsan idiin soo diraya, oo idinku leh, Midkiin kastaaba haatan jidkiisa sharka ah ha ka soo noqdo, oo falimihiinnana hagaajiya, oo ilaahyo kale ha daba gelina inaad u adeegtaan aawadeed, oo markaas waxaad iska degganaan doontaan dalkii aan siiyey idinka iyo awowayaashiinba, laakiinse idinku dheg iima aydaan dhigin, oo innaba ima aydaan dhegaysan. 16 Yoonaadaab ina Reekaab wiilashiisii way wada oofiyeen amarkii awowgood uu iyaga ku amray, laakiinse dadkanu aniga ima ay dhegaysan, 17 sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, dadka Yahuudah iyo kuwa Yeruusaalem deggan oo dhanba waxaan ku soo dejin doonaa masiibadii aan iyaga kaga hadlay oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, waan la hadlay, laakiinse ima dhegaysan, waanan u yeedhay, laakiinse iima ay jawaabin. 18 Markaas Yeremyaah wuxuu reer Reekaab ku yidhi, Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Idinku waxaad addeecdeen amarkii awowgiin Yoonaadaab, oo qaynuunnadiisii oo dhanna waad dhawrteen, oo waxaad wada samayseen wixii uu idinku amray oo dhan, 19 haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Yoonaadaab ina Reekaab marnaba weligiis ma waayi doono nin hortayda istaaga.

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.’”
