King James Version
AFR DVK
2
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
o HERE, hoe lank sal ek roep, en U sal nie hoor nie! selfs tot U roep vanweë geweld, en U sal nie red nie!
3
Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause [me] to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence [are] before me: and there are [that] raise up strife and contention.
Waarom toon U my ongeregtigheid, en laat U my onreg aanskou? want verwoesting en geweld is voor my: en daar is dié wat stryd en twis opwek.
4
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
Daarom is die wet verslap, en oordeel gaan nooit voort nie: want die goddelose omring die regverdige; daarom gaan verkeerde oordeel voort.
5
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye will not believe, though it be told [you].
Aanskou julle onder die heidene, en let op, en verwonder julle wonderlik: want ek sal ‚'n werk in julle dae werk, wat julle nie sal glo nie, alhoewel dit aan julle vertel word.
6
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, [that] bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs.
Want, kyk, ek wek die Chaldeërs op, daardie bitter en haastige nasie, wat deur die breedte van die land sal marche, om wonings in besit te neem wat nie hulle s’n is nie.
7
They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
Hulle is verskriklik en vreeslik: hulle oordeel en hulle waardigheid sal van hulleself uitgaan.
8
Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle [that] hasteth to eat.
Hulle perde is ook vinniger as die luiperds, en is skerper as die aandwolwe: en hulle ruiters sal hulleself versprei, en hulle ruiters sal van ver kom; hulle sal vlieg soos die arend wat haastig is om te eet.
9
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
Hulle sal almal kom vir geweld: hulle aangesigte sal almal soos die oostewind opsuig, en hulle sal die gevangenes bymekaarmaak soos die sand.
10
And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
En hulle sal die konings bespot, en die vorste sal ‚'n bespotting vir hulle wees: hulle sal elke sterkhede bespot; want hulle sal grond ophoop, en dit inneem.
11
Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.
Dan sal sy gees verander, en hy sal verbygaan, en oortree, en hierdie sy mag aan sy god toeskryf.
12
[Art] thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
Is U nie van ewigheid af, o HERE my God, my Heilige nie? ons sal nie sterwe nie. o HERE, U het hulle vir oordeel aangestel; en, o magtige God, U het hulle vir tugtiging gevestig.
13
[Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he?
U is van suiwerder oë as om die boosheid te aanskou, en kan nie na ongeregtigheid kyk nie: waarom kyk U na hulle wat troueloos handel, en swyg wanneer die goddelose hom verslind wat regverdiger is as hy?
14
And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, [that have] no ruler over them?
En maak die mens soos die visse van die see, soos die kruipende dinge, wat geen heerser oor hulle het nie?
15
They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
Hulle neem almal met die angel op, hulle vang hulle in hulle net, en versamel hulle in hulle sleepnet: daarom verheug hulle hulleself en is bly.
16
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion [is] fat, and their meat plenteous.
Daarom offer hulle aan hulle net, en brand wierook aan hulle sleepnet; omdat deur hulle hulle deel vet is, en hulle voedsel volop.
17
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Sal hulle daarom hulle net leegmaak, en nie ophou om die nasies voortdurend te dood nie?
