Jeremiah 35
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 35
Faithfulness of the Rechabites. 1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of King Jehoiakim of Judah, the son of Josiah: 2 Go forth to the clan of the Rechabites[a] and speak to them. Have them accompany you into one of the rooms of the house of the Lord and offer them wine to drink.
3 Therefore, I took Jaazaniah, the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, his brothers and all his sons, the entire clan of the Rechabites, 4 and I brought them into the house of the Lord, to the room of the sons of Hanan, son of Igdaliah, the man of God. This room adjoins the chamber of the princes and is above the room of Maaserah, the son of Shallum, the guardian of the threshold.
5 Then I set pitchers full of wine and some cups before the Rechabites, and I said to them, “Have some wine to drink.” 6 However, they replied, “We never drink wine. Our ancestor Jonadab, the son of Rechab, gave us this command, ‘Neither you nor your children will ever drink wine. 7 Nor will you build houses or sow seed or plant vineyards or even own them. Rather, you will dwell in tents all the days of your life, so that you may live for a long time on the land where you are sojourners.’
8 “We have carefully followed all the commands given to us by our ancestor Jonadab, the son of Rechab. Throughout our lives we have never consumed wine, nor have our wives, our sons, or our daughters. 9 We have not built houses to live in, and we have no vineyards or fields or seed. 10 On the contrary, we have lived in tents and scrupulously obeyed everything commanded by our father Jonadab. 11 But when Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, invaded this land, we said, ‘Let us go to Jerusalem so that we may escape the armies of the Chaldeans and the Arameans.’ That is the reason why 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 forth and say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Will you never come to your senses and obey my words? says the Lord. 14 The command of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, to his descendants never to drink wine has been observed to this very day; in obedience to their ancestor, they have drunk no wine. But despite the fact that I have repeated this command to you countless times, you have not obeyed me.
15 I have continued to send to you all my servants the prophets who warned you repeatedly, “Turn back, every one of you, from your evil conduct, and cease to follow other gods to serve them. Then you will continue to live in the land that I gave to you and your ancestors.” But you did not pay attention and you refused to listen to me. 16 The descendants of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, have honored the command that their ancestors gave them. You, however, have not heeded my warnings.
17 Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: I am determined to bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem every disaster with which I threatened them because they would not listen when I spoke to them and did not answer when I called to them.
18 However, to the clan of the Rechabites Jeremiah said, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Because you have obeyed the command of your father Jonadab, followed all of his instructions, and did everything that he ordered you to do, 19 therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: There will never fail to be a descendant of Jonadab, the son of Rechab, to stand before me forever.”

Пример рехавитов
35 Вот слово, которое было к Иеремии от Вечного во время правления иудейского царя Иоакима, сына Иосии[a]:
2 – Пойди к членам рода рехавитов, пригласи их прийти в одну из боковых комнат дома Вечного и предложи выпить вина.
3 Я пошёл к Иазании, сыну Иеремии, внуку Хавацинии, к его братьям и сыновьям – ко всему роду рехавитов. 4 Я привёл их в дом Вечного, в комнату сыновей Ханана, сына пророка Игдалии. Она была рядом с комнатой вождей, которая находилась над комнатой привратника Маасеи, сына Шаллума. 5 Я поставил перед членами рода рехавитов чаши, полные вина, и несколько кубков и сказал им:
– Выпейте вина.
6 Но они ответили:
– Мы не пьём вина, потому что наш предок Ионадав, сын Рехава,[b] повелел нам: «Ни вы, ни ваши потомки не должны никогда пить вина. 7 Ещё вы не должны строить домов, сеять и возделывать виноградники; пусть ничего этого у вас не будет, потому что вы должны всегда жить в шатрах. Тогда вы долго проживёте на той земле, где вы кочуете». 8 Мы исполняем всё, что повелел нам Ионадав, сын Рехава. Ни мы, ни наши жёны, ни наши сыновья и дочери никогда не пьём вина, 9 не строим домов, чтобы жить в них, и у нас нет ни виноградников, ни полей, ни посевов. 10 Мы живём в шатрах и исполняем всё, что повелел нам Ионадав, сын Рехава. 11 Но когда Навуходоносор, царь Вавилона, пошёл войной на эту страну, мы сказали: «Соберёмся и уйдём в Иерусалим, чтобы спастись от войск вавилонян и сирийцев». Потому мы и поселились в Иерусалиме.
12 И сказал Вечный Иеремии:
13 – Так говорит Вечный, Повелитель Сил, Бог Исроила: Пойди и скажи людям Иудеи и жителям Иерусалима: «Неужели вы не научитесь слушаться Моих слов? – возвещает Вечный. – 14 Ионадав, сын Рехава, повелел своим сыновьям не пить вина, и его повеление было соблюдено. Они и сегодня не пьют вина, потому что послушны повелениям своего предка. А Я снова и снова говорил вам, и вы не слушались Меня. 15 Снова и снова Я посылал к вам всех Моих рабов пророков. Они говорили: “Обратитесь каждый от своего злого пути и оставьте свои злые деяния; не следуйте за чужими богами, чтобы служить им. Тогда вы будете жить на земле, которую Я дал вам и вашим предкам”. Но вы не обращали внимания и не слушали Меня. 16 Потомки Ионадава, сына Рехава, исполняют повеление, которое дал им их отец, а этот народ не слушается Меня».
17 Поэтому так говорит Вечный, Бог Сил, Бог Исроила:
– Я нашлю на Иудею и на каждого, кто живёт в Иерусалиме, все невзгоды, которые Я им предрёк. Я говорил с ними, но они не слушали; Я звал их, но они не отвечали.
18 А роду рехавитов Иеремия сказал:
– Так говорит Вечный, Повелитель Сил, Бог Исроила: «Вы послушны воле своего предка Ионадава, исполняете все его наставления и делаете всё, что он повелел». 19 Поэтому так говорит Вечный, Повелитель Сил, Бог Исроила: «Ионадав, сын Рехава, не останется без потомка, который будет Мне служить».
Jeremiah 35
New King James Version
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, 2 “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.”
3 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, 4 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. 5 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.”
6 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. 7 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.’ 8 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, 9 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.” ’ ”
