레갑 집안의 모범

35 유다 왕 요시야의 아들 여호야김이 다스리던 때에 주께서 예레미야에게 내리신 말씀이다. “너는 레갑 집안을 찾아가서 그들을 주의 성전에 있는 곁방들 가운데 한 방으로 초청하여 그들에게 포도주를 주어 마시게 하여라.”

그래서 내가 하바시냐의 손자요 예레미야[a]의 아들인 야아사냐와 그의 형제들과 모든 아들들과 레갑 집안의 모든 사람들을 데리러 갔다. 나는 그들을 주의 성전으로 안내하여, 하나님의 사람인 익다랴의 아들 하난의 아들들이 쓰는 방으로 데리고 들어갔다. 그 방은 살룸의 아들인 성전 문지기 마아세야의 방 위에 있는 관리들의 방 바로 옆에 있었다. 나는 레갑 집안사람들 앞에 포도주가 가득 담긴 단지와 술잔들을 내놓고 “포도주 좀 드십시오.”라고 말했다.

그러나 그들은 이렇게 대답하였다. “우리는 포도주를 마시지 않습니다. 우리 조상 레갑의 아들 요나답께서 ‘너희와 너희 자손들은 포도주를 마셔서는 안 된다. 너희는 또한 집도 짓지 말고, 씨도 뿌리지 말고, 포도나무를 심어서도 안 된다. 너희는 이것들 가운데 어느 한 가지도 가지지 말고 언제나 천막에서 살도록 하여라. 그래야 너희가 나그네로 사는 땅에서 오래도록 살 수 있을 것이다.’ 하고 명하셨기 때문입니다. 그래서 우리는 우리의 조상 레갑의 아들 요나답이 명한 모든 것들을 지켜오고 있습니다. 우리와 우리 아내와 우리 아들과 딸들은 포도주를 마시거나, 살 집을 짓거나, 포도밭을 일구거나, 씨 뿌릴 밭을 가지거나 하지 않았습니다. 10 우리는 천막에서 살아왔으며 우리 조상 요나답이 우리에게 명한 것을 빠짐없이 지켜왔습니다. 11 그런데 바빌로니아 왕 느부갓네살이 이 나라를 쳐들어 오자 우리는 ‘바빌로니아 군대와 시리아 군대를 피하여 예루살렘으로 가자.’ 하고 예루살렘으로 올라와 지금 이곳에 머물러 있는 중입니다.”

12 주의 말씀이 예레미야에게 내렸다. 13 “나 만군의 주 이스라엘의 하나님이 말한다. 너는 유다 사람과 예루살렘에 사는 사람들에게 가서 이렇게 말하여라. ‘너희는 와서 어떻게 나의 말에 순종해야 하는 지를 배우지 않겠느냐? 14 레갑의 아들 요나답이 자기 자손에게 포도주를 마시지 말라고 명령한 것을 그 자손들이 이렇게 잘 지키고 있다. 그들은 자기 조상의 명령에 순종하여 오늘에 이르기까지 포도주를 마시지 않는다. 그러나 너희들은 내가 거듭거듭 너희에게 이른 것을 지키지 않고 있다. 15 나는 내 종 예언자들을 너희에게 보내고 또 보내었다. 그들은 너희에게 이렇게 일렀다. “너희는 각기 자신의 악한 길에서 돌아서고 행실을 고쳐라. 또 다른 신들을 섬기려고 쫓아다니지 말아라. 그러면 내가 너희와 너희의 조상에게 준 땅에서 너희가 살게 될 것이다.” 그러나 너희는 내 말을 귀담아 듣지 않았다. 16 레갑의 아들 요나답의 자손들은 조상이 자기들에게 내린 명령을 그렇게 잘 지켜오는데, 이 백성은 나의 말을 듣지 않았다.’

17 그러므로 나 만군의 주 이스라엘의 하나님이 말한다. ‘내가 유다와 예루살렘에 사는 사람들에게 내리겠다고 말한 모든 재앙을 그대로 내리겠다. 내가 그들에게 말을 해도 그들이 듣지 않았고 내가 그들을 불러도 그들이 대답하지 않았기 때문이다.’”

18 그런 다음에 예레미야가 레갑 집안사람들에게 말하였다. “나 만군의 주 이스라엘의 하나님이 말한다. ‘너희는 너희 조상 요나답의 명령에 순종하고 그의 모든 교훈을 따랐으며 그가 너희에게 명령한 모든 것을 실천하였다.’ 19 그러므로 나 만군의 주 이스라엘의 하나님이 말한다. ‘앞으로 레갑의 아들 요나답의 집안에 나를 섬길 사람이 결코 끊어지지 않을 것이다.’”

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.” ’ ”

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.’”

The Obedience of the Rechabites

35 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of (A)Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: “Go to the house of the (B)Rechabites and speak with them and bring them to the house of the Lord, into one of (C)the chambers; then offer them wine to drink.” 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. I brought them to the house of the Lord into (D)the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, (E)the man of God, which was near (F)the chamber of the officials, above (G)the chamber of (H)Maaseiah the son of Shallum, (I)keeper of the threshold. Then I set before the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, “Drink wine.” But they answered, “We will drink no wine, for (J)Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, ‘You shall not drink wine, neither you nor your sons forever. 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, (K)that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn.’ 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, 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 (L)when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against the land, we said, ‘Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of (M)the army of the Chaldeans and (N)the army of the Syrians.’ (O)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, (P)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 (Q)persistently, but you have not listened to me. 15 I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them (R)persistently, saying, (S)‘Turn now every one of you from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and (T)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.’ (U)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, (V)because I have spoken to them and they have not listened, (W)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 (X)to stand before me.”
