1 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.

Yeremiyo va Raxav nasli
1 Yoʻshiyo oʻgʻli shoh Yohayiqim hukmronlik qilgan davrda Egamiz Oʻz soʻzini Yeremiyoga ayon qildi: 2 “Qani boʻla qol, Yeremiyo, Raxav xonadoni huzuriga borib, u yerdagi odamlar bilan gaplash. Soʻng uyimdagi yon xonalarning biriga ularni taklif qilgin–da, sharobdan quyib ber.” 3 Men borib, Xavazinyoning nevarasi — Yeremiyo oʻgʻli Yazaniyoni aka–ukalari bilan birga, hamma oʻgʻillarini va butun Raxav xonadonini chaqirib, 4 Egamizning uyiga boshlab keldim. Ularni Yixdaliyo oʻgʻli Xanon paygʻambarning oʻgʻillariga qarashli xonaga olib kirdim. Bu xonaning yonida Maʼbad aʼyonlarining xonasi, tagida esa Shallum oʻgʻli Masiyoning xonasi joylashgan edi. Masiyo Maʼbad darvozaboni boʻlib xizmat qilar edi. 5 Men dasturxonga idishlarni toʻldirib sharob tortdim, piyolalar qoʻydim. Soʻng Raxav nasliga:
— Marhamat qilib, sharobdan ichinglar, — deb taklif qildim.
6 Ular shunday dedilar:
— Biz sharob ichmaymiz. Bobokalonimiz Raxav oʻgʻli Yohunadav bizga shunday amr qilgan: “Zinhor sharob ichmanglar, bolalaringiz ham ichmasin. 7 Uylar qurmanglar, ekin ekmanglar, uzumzorlar barpo qilmanglar, ularni oʻzingizga mulk qilib olmanglar. Koʻchib borgan joyingizda uzoq vaqt yashay olishingiz uchun chodirlarda kun kechiringlar.” 8 Shuning uchun biz bobokalonimizning amriga boʻysunib, hech qachon sharob ichmaymiz, xotinlarimiz ham, oʻgʻil–qizlarimiz ham sharob ichmaydilar. 9 Oʻzimiz uchun uylar qurmaymiz, ekin ekmaymiz, bizda na uzumzor bor, na dala bor. 10 Biz bobokalonimiz Yohunadavning amriga itoat qilib, bir umr chodirlarda yashab keldik. 11 Ammo Bobil shohi Navuxadnazar bu yurtga bostirib kelgandan soʻng, Bobil va Oram lashkarlaridan qoʻrqib, Quddusga kelishga qaror qilgan edik. Shu sababdan hozir biz Quddusda yashab yuribmiz.
12 Shundan soʻng Yeremiyoga Egamizning quyidagi soʻzi ayon boʻldi. 13 Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Sarvari Olam unga shunday dedi: “Qani boʻl, Yeremiyo, Yahudo xalqi va Quddus aholisining huzuriga borib, shunday deb taʼna qil: sizlar oʻzi saboq olasizlarmi?! Menga itoat qilishni oʻrganasizlarmi oʻzi?! 14 Ana, koʻrib qoʻying, Raxav nasli oʻz bobokalonining amriga itoat qilgani uchun bugunga qadar sharobni ogʻziga ham olmay yuribdi. Men esa sizlarga qayta–qayta gapirgan boʻlsam ham, sizlar Menga itoat qilmadingizlar. 15 Men paygʻambar qullarimni oldingizga qayta–qayta joʻnatdim. Ular orqali sizlarni shunday deb ogohlantirgan edim: «Sizlarga va ota–bobolaringizga Men bergan bu yurtda yashay olishingiz uchun yomon yoʻlingizdan qaytinglar. Turmush tarzingizni oʻzgartiringlar. Boshqa xudolarga ergashmanglar. Ularga xizmat qilmanglar.» Ammo sizlar quloq solmadingizlar, gapimga kirmadingizlar. 16 Yohunadavning avlodi oʻz bobokaloni buyurib ketgan amrni ijro etdi, bu xalq esa Menga itoat qilmadi.”
17 Shuning uchun Isroil xalqining Xudosi, Parvardigori Olam — Egamiz shunday demoqda: “Men Yahudo va Quddus aholisiga gapirgan edim, ammo ular gaplarimga quloq solmadilar, ularni chaqirgan edim, ammo Menga javob bermadilar. Shuning uchun Oʻzim aytgan barcha balo–qazolarni ularning boshlariga yogʻdiraman.”
18 Raxav xonadoniga esa Yeremiyo shunday dedi: “Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Sarvari Olam demoqda: «Sizlar bobokaloningiz Yohunadavning amriga itoat etdingiz, uning nasihatlarini rad etmay, aytganlarining hammasini bajardingiz, shuning uchun 19 Raxav oʻgʻli Yohunadav avlodidan boʻlgan kishi huzurimda abadulabad xizmat qiladigan boʻladi.» Isroil xalqining Xudosi — Sarvari Olamning kalomi shudir.”
