King James Version
AFR DVK
1
When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, [and] the troop of robbers spoileth without.
Toe ek Israel sou genees, toe is die ongeregtigheid van Efraim ontdek, en die goddeloosheid van Samaría: want hulle pleeg valsheid; en die dief kom in, en die bende van rowers beroof buite.
2
And they consider not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
En hulle oorweeg nie in hulle harte nie dat ek al hulle goddeloosheid onthou: nou het hulle eie doenings hulle omring; hulle is voor my aangesig.
3
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Hulle maak die koning bly met hulle goddeloosheid, en die vorstes met hulle leuens.
4
They [are] all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, [who] ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
Hulle is almal egbreuksters, soos ‚'n oond wat deur die bakker verhit is, wat ophou om wakker te wees nadat hy die deeg geknie het, totdat dit gesuur is.
5
In the day of our king the princes have made [him] sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
In die dag van ons koning het die vorste hom siek gemaak met bottels wyn; hy het sy hand saam met spotters uitgestrek.
6
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
Want hulle het hulle hart soos ’n oond berei, terwyl hulle lê en wag: hulle bakker slaap die hele nag; in die môre brand dit soos ’n vlam van vuur.
7
They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: [there is] none among them that calleth unto me.
Hulle is almal so warm soos ‚'n oond, en het hulle regters verteer; al hulle konings is geval: daar is niemand onder hulle wat My aanroep nie.
8
Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Efraim, hy het homself gemeng tussen die volk; Efraim is ‚'n koek wat nie omgedraai is nie.
9
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
Vreemdelinge het sy krag verteer, en hy weet dit nie: ja, grys hare is hier en daar op hom, tog weet hy dit nie.
10
And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
En die trotsheid van Israel getuig tot sy aangesig: en hulle keer nie terug tot die HERE hulle God nie, en soek Hom nie in al hierdie dinge nie.
11
Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Efraim is ook soos ’n dwase duif sonder hart: hulle roep na Egipte, hulle gaan na Assirië.
12
When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
Wanneer hulle gaan, sal ek my net oor hulle uitsprei; ek sal hulle soos die voëls van die hemel afbring; ek sal hulle tugtig, soos hulle vergadering gehoor het.
13
Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Wee hulle! want hulle het van My gevlug: vernietiging oor hulle! omdat hulle teen My oortree het: alhoewel ek hulle verlos het, tog het hulle leuens teen My gespreek.
14
And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, [and] they rebel against me.
En hulle het nie tot My geroep met hulle hart nie, toe hulle gehuil het op hulle beddens: hulle het bymekaargekom vir koring en wyn, en hulle het teen My gerebelleer.
15
Though I have bound [and] strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
Alhoewel ek hulle onderrig en hulle arms versterk het, tog bedink hulle onheil teen My.
16
They return, [but] not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this [shall be] their derision in the land of Egypt.
Hulle keer terug, maar nie tot die Allerhoogste nie: hulle is soos ’n bedrieglike boog: hulle vorste sal val deur die swaard vanweë die grimmigheid van hulle tong: dit sal hulle smaad wees in die land van Egipte.
