Ejemplo de los recabitas

35 Palabra que vino a Jeremías de parte del Señor en los días de Joacim, hijo de Josías, rey de Judá(A), diciendo: Ve a la casa de los recabitas(B), habla con ellos, llévalos a la casa del Señor, a una de las cámaras(C), y dales a beber vino. Entonces tomé a Jaazanías, hijo de Jeremías, hijo de Habasinías, y a sus hermanos, a todos sus hijos y a toda la casa de los recabitas, y los llevé a la casa del Señor, a la cámara de los hijos de Hanán, hijo de Igdalías, hombre de Dios(D), la cual estaba cerca de la cámara de los oficiales, que estaba encima de la cámara de Maasías, hijo de Salum, guarda del umbral(E). Entonces puse delante de los hombres[a] de la casa de los recabitas jarras llenas de vino(F) y tazas, y les dije: Bebed vino. Mas ellos dijeron: No beberemos vino, porque Jonadab, hijo de Recab(G), nuestro padre, nos ordenó, diciendo: «No beberéis vino jamás, ni vosotros ni vuestros hijos(H). No edificaréis casa, ni sembraréis simiente, ni plantaréis viña, ni poseeréis ninguna, sino que habitaréis en tiendas(I) todos vuestros días, para que viváis muchos días en la tierra(J) donde sois peregrinos(K)». Y nosotros hemos obedecido la voz de Jonadab, hijo de Recab, nuestro padre, en todo lo que él nos mandó(L) de no beber vino en todos nuestros días, ni nosotros, ni nuestras mujeres, ni nuestros hijos, ni nuestras hijas, y de no edificarnos casa en donde morar, y de no tener viña, ni campo, ni sementera(M). 10 Hemos habitado solamente en tiendas(N), y hemos obedecido y hecho conforme a todo lo que nos mandó nuestro padre Jonadab(O). 11 Pero sucedió que cuando Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia, subió contra la tierra(P), dijimos: «Venid y huyamos(Q) a Jerusalén ante el ejército de los caldeos y ante el ejército de Aram». Por eso habitamos en Jerusalén.

12 Entonces vino palabra del Señor a Jeremías, diciendo: 13 Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: «Ve y di a los hombres de Judá y a los habitantes de Jerusalén: “¿No aprenderéis a escuchar mis palabras?” —declara el Señor(R). 14 “Las palabras de Jonadab, hijo de Recab, que mandó a sus hijos de no beber vino, son guardadas. Por eso no beben vino hasta hoy, porque han obedecido el mandato de su padre(S). Pero yo os he hablado repetidas veces[b], con todo no me habéis escuchado(T). 15 También os he enviado a todos mis siervos los profetas, enviándolos repetidas veces[c], a deciros: ‘Volveos ahora cada uno de vuestro mal camino, enmendad vuestras obras y no vayáis tras otros dioses para adorarlos(U), y habitaréis en la tierra que os he dado, a vosotros y a vuestros padres(V); pero no inclinasteis vuestro oído, ni me escuchasteis(W). 16 +’Ciertamente los hijos de Jonadab, hijo de Recab, han guardado el mandato que su padre les ordenó, pero este pueblo no me ha escuchado(X)’”». 17 Por tanto así dice el Señor, Dios de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: «He aquí, traigo sobre Judá y sobre todos los habitantes de Jerusalén toda la calamidad que he pronunciado contra ellos(Y), porque les hablé, pero no escucharon, y los llamé, pero no respondieron(Z)».

18 Entonces Jeremías dijo a la casa de los recabitas: Así dice el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: «Por cuanto habéis obedecido el mandato de vuestro padre Jonadab, guardando todos sus mandatos(AA) y haciendo conforme a todo lo que él os ordenó, 19 por tanto, así dice el Señor de los ejércitos, el Dios de Israel: “A Jonadab, hijo de Recab, no le faltará hombre(AB) que esté delante de mí(AC) todos los días”».

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.

35 This word came to Yirmeyahu from Adonai during the time of Y’hoyakim the son of Yoshiyahu, king of Y’hudah: “Go to the Rekhavim, speak to them, bring them to one of the rooms in the house of Adonai, and give them some wine to drink.” So I took Ya’azanyah the son of Yirmeyahu, the son of Havatzinyah, and his brothers, all his sons and all the Rekhavim, and took them into the house of Adonai, to the room of the sons of Hanan the son of Yigdalyahu, a man of God. It was by the room of the officials, which was above the room of Ma‘aseiyah the son of Shalum, the gatekeeper. There I set in front of the members of the clan of the Rekhavim pitchers full of wine and cups, and said to them, “Drink some wine.” But they said, “We will not drink any wine; because Yonadav the son of Rekhav, our ancestor, gave us this order: ‘You are not to drink wine, neither you nor your descendants, forever. Also you are not to build houses, sow seed, or plant or own vineyards. Rather, you are always to live in tents; so that you may live a long time in the land, in which you are not citizens.’ We have heeded the words of Yonadav the son of Rekhav, our ancestor, in all that he instructed us to do: not to drink wine as long as we live — we, our wives, our sons and our daughters; not to build houses for ourselves to live in; and not to have vineyards, fields or seed. 10 We have lived in tents, and we have heeded Yonadav our ancestor and done everything he ordered us to do. 11 But when N’vukhadretzar king of Bavel came up to attack the land, we said, ‘Come, let’s go up to Yerushalayim,’ because we were afraid of the army of the Kasdim and the army of Aram; hence we are living in Yerushalayim.”

12 Then the word of Adonai came to Yirmeyahu: 13 Adonai-Tzva’ot the God of Isra’el says to go to the men of Y’hudah and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim and say: ‘Won’t you ever learn to listen to my words?’ says Adonai. 14 ‘The words of Yonadav the son of Rekhav which he ordered his offspring, not to drink wine, are obeyed; so to this day they don’t drink any; because they heed their ancestor’s order. But I have spoken to you, spoken frequently, and you have not listened to me. 15 I have also sent you all my servants the prophets, sent them frequently, with the message, “Every one of you should turn back now from his evil way, improve your actions and not follow other gods in order to serve them. Then you will live in the land I gave you and your ancestors. But you have not paid attention or listened to me. 16 Because the descendants of Yonadav the son of Rekhav have obeyed the order of their ancestor, which he ordered them; but this people has not listened to me; 17 therefore — ” here is what Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot, the God of Isra’el, says: “I will inflict on Y’hudah and all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim all the disaster I have decreed against them; because I have spoken to them, but they have not listened; and I have called out to them, but they have not answered.”’”

18 Then to the clan of the Rekhavim Yirmeyahu said, “Here is what Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Isra’el, says: ‘Because you have heeded the order of Yonadav your ancestor, observed all his commands and done what he ordered you to do; 19 therefore Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Isra’el, says this: “Yonadav the son of Rekhav will never lack a descendant to stand before me.”’”
