King James Version
AFR DVK
1
Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
Regverdig is U, o HERE, wanneer ek met U twis: tog laat my met U oor oordele praat: Waarom voorspoed die weg van die goddelose? waarom is almal gelukkig wat bedrieglik handel?
2
Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
U het hulle geplant, ja, hulle het wortel geskiet: hulle groei, ja, hulle bring vrug voort: U is naby in hulle mond, en ver van hulle niere.
3
But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Maar U, o HERE, ken my: U het my gesien, en my hart teenoor U beproef: trek hulle uit soos skape vir die slagting, en berei hulle vir die dag van slagting.
4
How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
Hoe lank sal die land treur, en die kruie van elke veld verwelk, vir die goddeloosheid van dié wat daarin woon? die diere is weggevat, en die voëls; omdat hulle gesê het, Hy sal nie ons laaste einde sien nie.
5
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and [if] in the land of peace, [wherein] thou trustedst, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
As jy met die voetgangers gehardloop het, en hulle jou moeg gemaak het, hoe kan jy dan met die perde meeding? en as in die land van vrede, waarin jy vertrou het, hulle jou moeg gemaak het, hoe sal jy dan in die oopswelling van die Jordaan doen?
6
For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
Want selfs jou broers, en die huis van jou vader, selfs hulle het bedrieglik met jou gehandel; ja, hulle het ‚'n menigte geroep agter jou aan: glo hulle nie, al spreek hulle mooi woorde tot jou.
7
I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Ek het my huis verlaat, ek het my erfenis verlaat; ek het die geliefde van my siel in die hand van haar vyande gegee.
8
Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
My erfenis is vir My soos ‚'n leeu in die woud geword; sy het haar stem teen My verhef: daarom het ek haar gehaat.
9
Mine heritage [is] unto me [as] a speckled bird, the birds round about [are] against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
Is my erfenis vir My soos ’n gespikkelde voël? is die voëls rondom teen haar? kom julle, versamel al die diere van die veld, kom om te eet.
10
Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Baie herders het my wingerd vernietig, hulle het my deel vertrap onder voet, hulle het my aangename deel ‚'n verwoeste wildernis gemaak.
11
They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth [it] to heart.
Hulle het dit verwoes gemaak, en dit treur tot My toe verwoes: die hele land is verwoes gemaak, omdat niemand dit ter harte neem nie.
12
The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the [one] end of the land even to the [other] end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
Die verwoesters is op al die hoë plekke in die wildernis gekom: want die swaard van die HERE sal van die een einde van die land af tot by die ander einde van die land verteer: geen vlees sal vrede hê nie.
13
They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, [but] shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Hulle het koring gesaai, maar dorings maai: hulle het hulleself pyn gedoen, maar nie gebaat nie: en julle sal beskaamd word van julle inkomste vanweë die felle toorn van die HERE.
14
Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
So sê die HERE teen al my boos bure, wat die erfenis aanraak wat ek my volk Israel laat erf het; Kyk, ek sal hulle uit hulle land uitruk, en die huis van Juda sal ek uit hulle midde uitruk.
15
And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
En dit sal gebeur, nadat ek hulle uitgeruk het, dat ek sal terugkeer, en medelye met hulle hê, en hulle terugbring, elkeen na sy erfenis, en elkeen na sy land.
16
And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
En dit sal gebeur, as hulle die weë van my volk ywerig leer, om by my Naam te sweer, Die HERE lewe; soos hulle my volk geleer het om by Baäl te sweer; dan sal hulle in die midde van my volk gebou word.
17
But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
Maar as hulle nie wil gehoorsaam nie, sal ek daardie nasie heeltemal uitruk en vernietig, sê die HERE.
