Jeremias 35
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
A obediência dos recabitas é dada a Judá como exemplo
35 Palavra que do Senhor veio a Jeremias, nos dias de Jeoaquim, filho de Josias, rei de Judá, dizendo: 2 Vai à casa dos recabitas, e fala com eles, e leva-os à Casa do Senhor, a uma das câmaras, e dá-lhes vinho a beber. 3 Então, tomei a Jazanias, filho de Jeremias, filho de Habazinias, e a seus irmãos, e a todos os seus filhos, e a toda a casa dos recabitas; 4 e os levei à Casa do Senhor, à câmara dos filhos de Hanã, filho de Jigdalias, homem de Deus, que está junto à câmara dos príncipes, que está sobre a câmara de Maaseias, filho de Salum, guarda do vestíbulo; 5 e pus diante dos filhos da casa dos recabitas taças cheias de vinho e copos e disse-lhes: Bebei vinho. 6 Mas eles disseram: Não beberemos vinho, porque Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, nosso pai, nos mandou, dizendo: Nunca bebereis vinho, nem vós nem vossos filhos; 7 não edificareis casa, nem semeareis semente, não plantareis, nem possuireis vinha alguma; mas habitareis em tendas todos os vossos dias, para que vivais muitos dias sobre a face da terra em que vós andais peregrinando. 8 Obedecemos, pois, à voz de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, nosso pai, em tudo quanto nos ordenou; de maneira que não bebemos vinho em todos os nossos dias, nem nós, nem nossas mulheres, nem nossos filhos, nem nossas filhas; 9 nem edificamos casas para nossa habitação, nem temos vinha, nem campo, nem semente, 10 mas habitamos em tendas. Assim, ouvimos e fizemos conforme tudo quanto nos mandou Jonadabe, nosso pai. 11 Sucedeu, porém, que, subindo Nabucodonosor, rei da Babilônia, a esta terra, dissemos: Vinde, e vamo-nos a Jerusalém, por causa do exército dos caldeus e por causa do exército dos siros; e assim ficamos em Jerusalém. 12 Então, veio a palavra do Senhor a Jeremias, dizendo: 13 Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Vai e dize aos homens de Judá e aos moradores de Jerusalém: Porventura, nunca aceitareis instrução, para ouvirdes as minhas palavras? — diz o Senhor. 14 As palavras de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, que ordenou a seus filhos que não bebessem vinho, foram guardadas, pois não beberam até este dia; antes, ouviram o mandamento de seu pai; a mim, porém, que vos tenho falado a vós, madrugando e falando, vós não me ouvistes. 15 E vos enviei todos os meus servos, os profetas, madrugando, e enviando, e dizendo: Convertei-vos, agora, cada um do seu mau caminho, e fazei boas as vossas ações, e não sigais a outros deuses para servi-los; e assim ficareis na terra que vos dei a vós e a vossos pais; mas não inclinastes os ouvidos, nem me obedecestes a mim. 16 Visto que os filhos de Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, guardaram o mandamento de seu pai, que ele lhes ordenou, mas este povo não me obedeceu, 17 assim diz o Senhor, o Deus dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Eis que trarei sobre Judá e sobre todos os moradores de Jerusalém todo o mal que falei contra eles; pois lhes tenho falado, e não ouviram; e clamei a eles, e não responderam.
18 E à casa dos recabitas disse Jeremias: Assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Visto que obedecestes ao mandamento de Jonadabe, vosso pai, e guardastes todos os seus mandamentos, e fizestes conforme tudo quanto vos ordenou, 19 assim diz o Senhor dos Exércitos, Deus de Israel: Nunca faltará varão a Jonadabe, filho de Recabe, que assista perante a minha face todos os dias.
Jeremiah 35
New International Version
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: 2 “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.”
3 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. 4 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) 5 Then I set bowls full of wine and some cups before the Rekabites and said to them, “Drink some wine.”
6 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) 7 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.’ 8 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 9 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.’”

King James Version
35 The word which came unto Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2 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.
3 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;
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, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
5 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.
6 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:
7 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.
8 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;
9 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.
