King James Version
AFR DVK
1
Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and] robbery; the prey departeth not;
Wee aan die bloedstad! dit is almal vol leuens en roof; die roof gaan nie uit nie;
2
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
Die geraas van ‚'n sweep, en die geraas van die ratel van die wiele, en van die perde wat stamp, en van die springende strydwaens.
3
The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and [there is] none end of [their] corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
Die ruiter lig op beide die blink swaard en die glinsterende spies: en daar is ‚'n menigte van dooie liggame, en ‚'n groot getal dooie; en daar is geen einde van hulle lyke nie; hulle struikel oor hulle lyke:
4
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Vanweë die menigte van die hoererye van die welgevallige hoer, die meesteres van hekserye, wat nasies verkoop deur haar hoererye, en gesinne deur haar hekserye.
5
Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Kyk, ek is teen jou, sê die HERE van leërskare; en ek sal jou klere op jou aangesig ontdek, en ek sal die nasies jou naaktheid toon, en die koninkryke jou skande.
6
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
En ek sal verfoeilikhede op jou werp, en jou veragtelik maak, en jou as ‚'n beskouing stel.
7
And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
En dit sal gebeur, dat almal wat na jou kyk, van jou sal vlug, en sê, Ninevé is verwoes: wie sal medelye met haar hê? waarvandaan sal ek vertroosters vir jou soek?
8
Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, [that had] the waters round about it, whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
Is jy beter as No-Amon, wat geleë was tussen die riviere, wat water rondom haar gehad het, wie se wal die see was, en haar muur was van die see?
9
Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
Etiopië en Egipte was haar sterkte, en dit was oneindig; Put en Lubim was jou helpers.
10
Yet [was] she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
Tog is sy weggevoer, sy is in gevangenisskap gegaan: haar jong kinders is ook stukkend geslaan by die top van al die strate: en hulle het die lot vir haar edele manne gewerp, en al haar groot manne is in kettings gebind.
11
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
Jy sal ook dronk word: jy sal verborge wees, jy sal ook toevlug soek vanweë die vyand.
12
All thy strong holds [shall be like] fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
Al jou sterkhede sal soos vyebome wees met die eerste ryp vyes: as hulle geskud word, val hulle selfs in die mond van die eter.
13
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee [are] women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
Kyk, jou volk in die midde van jou is vroue: die poorte van jou land sal wyd oopgemaak word vir jou vyande: die vuur sal jou grendels verteer.
14
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
Trek vir jou water vir die beleëring, versterk jou sterkhede: gaan in die klei, en trap die mortel, maak die baksteen oond sterk.
15
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
Daar sal die vuur jou verteer; die swaard sal jou afsny, dit sal jou soos die ruspe eet: maak jou baie soos die ruspe, maak jou baie soos die sprinkane.
16
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
Jy het jou handelaars meer gemaak as die sterre van die hemel: die ruspe roof, en vlieg weg.
17
Thy crowned [are] as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, [but] when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they [are].
Jou gekroonde is soos die sprinkane, en jou kapteins soos die groot sprinkane, wat in die heinings in die koue dag kamp: maar wanneer die son opgaan hulle vlug weg, en hulle plek is nie bekend waar hulle is nie.
18
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell [in the dust]: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth [them].
Jou herders sluimer, o koning van Assirië: jou edeles sal in die stof lê: jou volk is op die berge verstrooi, en niemand versamel hulle nie.
19
[There is] no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
Daar is geen genesing van jou seer nie; jou wond is ongeneeslik: almal wat die gerug van jou hoor, sal die hande oor jou klap: want op wie het jou goddeloosheid nie voortdurend deurgegaan nie?
