Jeremia 35 | English Standard Version

The Obedience of the Rechabites

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: 2 “Go to the house of the Rechabites and speak with them and bring them to the house of the Lord, into one of the chambers; then offer them wine to drink.” 3 So I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah and his brothers and all his sons and the whole house of the Rechabites. 4 I brought them to the house of the Lord into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was near the chamber of the officials, above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, keeper of the threshold. 5 Then I set before the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, “Drink wine.” 6 But they answered, “We will drink no wine, for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, ‘You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons forever. 7 You shall not build a house; you shall not sow seed; you shall not plant or have a vineyard; but you shall live in tents all your days, that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.’ 8 We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, ourselves, our wives, our sons, or our daughters, 9 and not to build houses to dwell in. We have no vineyard or field or seed, 10 but we have lived in tents and have obeyed and done all that Jonadab our father commanded us. 11 But when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against the land, we said, ‘Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans and the army of the Syrians.’ So we are living in Jerusalem.” 12 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Go and say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will you not receive instruction and listen to my words? declares the Lord. 14 The command that Jonadab the son of Rechab gave to his sons, to drink no wine, has been kept, and they drink none to this day, for they have obeyed their father’s command. I have spoken to you persistently, but you have not listened to me. 15 I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them persistently, saying, ‘Turn now every one of you from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to you and your fathers.’ But you did not incline your ear or listen to me. 16 The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command that their father gave them, but this people has not obeyed me. 17 Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing upon Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them and they have not listened, I have called to them and they have not answered.” 18 But to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the command of Jonadab your father and kept all his precepts and done all that he commanded you, 19 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall never lack a man to stand before me.”

ارميا و طايفه ركابیها

1 زمانی كه يهوياقيم (پسر يوشيا) پادشاه يهودا بود، خداوند به من فرمود: 2 «نزد طايفهٔ ركابیها برو و ايشان را به خانهٔ خداوند دعوت كن و آنها را به يكی از اتاقهای درونی ببر و به ايشان شراب تعارف كن.» 3 پس پيش يازنيا، كه نام پدرش ارميا و نام پدر بزرگش حبصنيا بود، رفتم و او را با همه برادران و پسرانش كه نمايندهٔ طايفهٔ ركابیها بودند، 4 به خانهٔ خداوند آوردم و به اتاق پسران حانان نبی (پسر يجدليا) بردم. اين اتاق كنار اتاق مخصوص درباريان و بالای اتاق معسيا (پسر شلوم) نگهبان خانهٔ خدا قرار داشت. 5 آنگاه جام و كوزههای شراب مقابل ايشان گذاشتم و تعارف كردم تا بنوشند. 6 اما ايشان گفتند: «نه، ما شراب نمینوشيم، چون پدرمان يوناداب (پسر ركاب) وصيت نموده است كه نه ما و نه فرزندانمان، هرگز لب به شراب نزنيم. 7 همچنين به ما سفارش كرده است كه نه خانه بسازيم، نه زراعت كنيم؛ نه تاكستان داشته باشيم و نه مزرعه؛ بلكه هميشه چادرنشين باشيم؛ و گفته است اگر اطاعت كنيم، در اين سرزمين عمر طولانی و زندگی خوبی خواهيم داشت. 8 ما هم تمام دستورات او را اطاعت كردهايم. از آن زمان تا به حال نه خودمان لب به شراب زدهايم، نه زنان و پسران و دخترانمان! 9 ما نه خانه ساختهايم، نه صاحب مزرعه هستيم و نه كشاورزی میكنيم. 10 ما در چادرها ساكنيم و دستور پدرمان يوناداب را اطاعت كردهايم. 11 اما وقتی نبوكدنصر، پادشاه بابل، به اين سرزمين حمله كرد، ترسيديم و تصميم گرفتيم به اورشليم بياييم و در شهر زندگی كنيم. برای همين است كه اينک در اينجا هستيم.» 12 پس از اين ماجرا، خداوند به ارميا فرمود كه كلام او را به اهالی يهودا و ساكنين اورشليم اعلام داشته، از جانب او چنين بگويد: «آيا شما نمیخواهيد از ركابیها درس عبرت بگيريد؟ 14 آنها دستور جدشان را اطاعت كردهاند و تا به امروز لب به شراب نزدهاند، ولی شما از دستورات من هرگز اطاعت نكردهايد. با اينكه همواره شما را نصيحت نمودم، 15 و انبيای خود را نزد شما فرستادم تا بگويند كه از راههای بد بازگرديد و از بتپرستی دست بكشيد تا اجازه دهم در اين سرزمينی كه به شما و پدرانتان بخشيدهام، در صلح و آرامش زندگی كنيد، اما شما گوش نداديد و اطاعت نكرديد. 16 ركابیها دستور جدشان يوناداب را به طور كامل اجرا میكنند، ولی شما دستورات مرا اطاعت نمیكنيد. 17 هر بار با شما سخن گفتم، توجه نكرديد و هر بار شما را خواندم، جواب نداديد! بنابراين ای اهالی يهودا و ساكنين اورشليم، من تمام بلاهايی را كه گفتهام، بر شما نازل خواهم نمود!» 18 سپس رو به ركابیها كرده، گفتم: «خداوند قادر متعال، خدای اسرائيل میفرمايد كه چون شما دستور جدتان يوناداب را از هر حيث اطاعت كردهايد، بنابراين از دودمان او هميشه مردانی باقی خواهند بود تا مرا عبادت و خدمت نمايند.»
