AFR DVK
1
For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
Want julle self, broers, weet ons ingang by julle, dat dit nie tevergeefs was nie:
2
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
Maar selfs nadat ons tevore gely het, en skandelik behandel is, soos julle weet, in Filippi, was ons stoutmoedig in onse God om die evangelie van God tot julle te spreek met baie stryd.
3
For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
Want ons vermaning was nie uit bedrog, of uit onreinheid, of in listigheid nie:
4
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
Maar soos ons deur God goedgekeur is om die evangelie toevertrou te word, so spreek ons; nie asof ons mense behaag nie, maar God, wat ons harte beproef.
5
For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:
Want nóg het ons ooit vleiende woorde gebruik, soos julle weet, nóg ’n voorwendsel van gierigheid; God is getuie:
6
Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
Nóg van mense eer gesoek, nóg van julle, nóg van andere, toe ons magtig was om las te wees, as die apostels van Christus.
7
But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
Maar ons was sag onder julle, soos ‚'n voedster haar kinders koester:
8
So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
So, ywerig na julle, was ons gewillig om nie alleen die evangelie van God aan julle te gee nie, maar ook ons eie siele, omdat julle ons dierbaar geword het.
9
For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
Want julle onthou, broers, ons arbeid en swaarkry: want arbeidende nag en dag, omdat ons niemand van julle tot las sou wees nie, het ons die evangelie van God onder julle verkondig.
10
Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
Julle is getuies, en God ook, hoe heilig en regverdig en onberispelik ons ons onder julle gedra het wat glo:
11
As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father [doth] his children,
Soos julle weet hoe ons elkeen van julle, soos ‚'n vader sy kinders,
12
That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
Vermanende, en vertroostende, en betuigende dat julle sou wandel waardig God, wat julle tot sy koninkryk en heerlikheid geroep het.
13
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
Om hierdie oorsaak dank ons God ook sonder ophou, dat, toe julle die woord van God ontvang het wat julle deur ons gehoor het, julle dit nie as die woord van mense ontvang het nie, maar soos dit in waarheid is, die woord van God, wat ook kragtig werk in julle wat glo.
14
For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they [have] of the Jews:
Want julle, broers, het navolgers geword van die gemeentes van God wat in Judea in Christus Jesus is: want julle het ook dieselfde dinge gely van julle eie landgenote, soos hulle van die Jode:
15
Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
Wat beide die Here Jesus en hulle eie profete omgebring het, en ons vervolg het; en hulle behaag God nie, en is teëstander van alle mense:
16
Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
Ons verbiedende om tot die heidene te spreek dat hulle gered mag word, om hulle sondes altyd vol te maak: want die toorn is oor hulle gekom tot die uiterste.
17
But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
Maar ons, broers, omdat ons vir ‚'n kort tyd van julle beroof is, in aangesig, nie in hart nie, het des te meer ywerig gepoog om julle aangesig te sien met groot begeerte.
18
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
Daarom wou ons tot julle gekom het, selfs ek Paulus, een maal en nog ‚'n maal; maar die Satan het ons verhinder.
19
For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
Want wat is ons hoop, of blydskap, of kroon van roem? Is dit nie selfs julle in die teenwoordigheid van onse Here Jesus Christus by sy koms nie?
20
For ye are our glory and joy.
Want julle is ons heerlikheid en blydskap.
