LUKAS 6

Jesus is Here van die sabbat.

(Mt. 12:1-8 en ooreenk. pl.)

1 EN top die tweede eerste sabbat het Hy deur die gesaaides geloop, en sy dissipels het die are gepluk en met hulle hande uitgevrywe en geëet.

2 Toe sê sommige van die Fariseërs vir hulle: tWaarom doen julle wat nie geoorloof is om op die sabbat te doen nie?

3 En Jesus antwoord en sê vir hulle: Het julle dan nie gelees wat Dawid gedoen het nie — toe hy honger gehad het, hy en die wat by hom was —

4 hoe hy in die huis van God gegaan en die toonbrode geneem en geëet het, en ook aan die wat by hom was, gegee het, wat hulle nie geoorloof was om te eet nie, maar net vir die priesters alleen?

5 Toe sê Hy vir hulle: Die Seun van die mens is Here óók van die sabbat.

Genesing van die man met die verdorde hand.

(Mt. 12:9-14 en ooreenk. pl.)

6  tEN op ’n ander sabbat het Hy in die sinagoge gegaan en geleer. En daar was ’n man, en sy regterhand was tuitgedor.

7 En die skrifgeleerdes en die Fariseërs het Hom tin die oog gehou, of Hy op die sabbat gesond maak, sodat hulle ’n aanklag teen Hom kon vind.

8 Maar Hy thet hulle gedagtes geken en vir die man met die verdorde hand gesê: Staan op hier in hul midde. En hy het opgestaan.

9 Toe sê Jesus vir hulle: Ek sal aan julle ’n vraag stel: wat is geoorloof op die sabbat — om goed te doen of kwaad te doen; om ’n lewe te red of óm te bring?

10 En tnadat Hy almal rondom aangekyk het, sê Hy vir die man: Steek jou hand uit! En hy het dit gedoen; en sy hand is herstel, gesond soos die ander een.

11 En hulle is met uitsinnigheid vervul en het tmet mekaar gepraat wat hulle aan Jesus sou doen.

Kiesing van die twaalf.

(Mt. 10:1-4 en ooreenk. pl.)

12 EN Hy het in daardie dae uitgegaan tna die berg om te bid en die nag in die gebed tot God deurgebring.

13 En toe dit dag geword het, thet Hy sy dissipels na Hom geroep ten twaalf van hulle uitgekies, wat Hy apostels genoem het:

14 Simon wat Hy Petrus genoem het, en Andréas, sy broer; Jakobus en Johannes; Filippus en Bartholoméüs;

15 Matthéüs en Thomas; Jakobus, die seun van Alféüs, en Simon wat tYweraar genoem word;

16  tJudas, die seun van Jakobus, en Judas Iskáriot, wat die verraaier geword het.

Die bergrede.

(Mt. 5, 6, 7 en ooreenk. pl.)

17 EN Hy het met hulle afgeklim en op t’n gelyk plek gaan staan, en daar was ’n skare van sy dissipels en t’n groot menigte van die volk van die hele Judéa en Jerusalem en die kusstreek van tTirus en Sidon af,

18 wat gekom het om Hom te hoor en van hulle kwale genees te word; en die wat gekwel was deur onreine geeste, is ook genees.

19 En die hele skare het probeer om Hom aan te raak, omdat tkrag van Hom uitgegaan het, en Hy het almal gesond gemaak.

20 Toe slaan Hy sy oë op oor sy dissipels en sê: tSalig is julle, armes, want aan julle behoort die koninkryk van God.

21 Salig is julle wat nou honger het, want julle sal versadig word. Salig is julle wat nou ween, want julle sal lag.

22 Salig is julle wanneer die mense julle haat, en wanneer hulle julle tverstoot en beledig en jul naam weggooi soos iets wat sleg is, ter wille van die Seun van die mens.

23 Wees bly in daardie dag en spring op, want kyk, julle loon is groot in die hemel, want hulle vaders het net so aan die profete gedoen.

24 Maar wee julle, trykes, want julle thet jul troos weg.

25 Wee julle wat vol is, want tjulle sal honger ly. Wee julle wat nou lag, want julle sal treur en ween.

26 Wee julle twanneer al die mense goed van julle praat, want hulle vaders het net so aan die valse profete gedoen.

27 Maar Ek sê vir julle wat luister: tJulle moet jul vyande liefhê en goed doen aan die wat vir julle haat.

28 Seën die wat vir julle vervloek, en bid vir die wat julle beledig.

29 Aan thom wat jou op die wang slaan, moet jy ook die ander een aanbied; ten aan hom wat jou bo-kleed neem, moet jy ook die onderkleed nie weier nie.

30 Maar gee aan elkeen wat jou iets vra, en eis jou goed nie terug van hom wat dit neem nie.

31 En tsoos julle wil hê dat die mense aan julle moet doen, so moet julle ook aan hulle doen.

32  tEn as julle dié liefhet wat vir julle liefhet, watter dank het julle? Want tdie sondaars het ook dié lief wat vir hulle liefhet.

33 En as julle goed doen aan die wat aan julle goed doen, watter dank het julle? Want die sondaars doen ook dieselfde.

34  tEn as julle leen aan dié van wie julle hoop om terug te ontvang, watter dank het julle? Want die sondaars leen ook aan die sondaars, om net soveel terug te ontvang.

35 Maar julle moet jul vyande liefhê en goed doen en leen sonder om iets terug te verwag, en julle loon sal groot wees; en tjulle sal kinders van die tAllerhoogste wees; want Hy self is goedertieren oor die ondankbares en slegtes.

36 Wees dan barmhartig, soos julle Vader ook barmhartig is.

37  tEn julle moet nie oordeel nie, dan sal julle nooit geoordeel word nie. Julle moet nie veroordeel nie, dan sal julle nooit veroordeel word nie. Spreek vry, en julle sal vrygespreek word.

38 Gee, en aan julle sal gegee word. ’n Goeie maat wat ingedruk en geskud en oorlopend is, sal hulle in jul tskoot gee, want met dieselfde maat waarmee julle meet, sal weer vir julle gemeet word.

39 En Hy het vir hulle ’n gelykenis uitgespreek: t’n Blinde kan tog nie ’n blinde lei nie! Sal hulle nie altwee in die sloot val nie?

40  t’n Leerling is nie bo sy meester nie; maar elkeen wat volleerd is, sal soos sy meester wees.

41 En waarom sien jy die splinter in die oog van jou broeder, maar die balk wat in jou eie oog is, merk jy nie op nie?

42 Of hoe kan jy vir jou broeder sê: Broeder, laat my toe om die splinter wat in jou oog is, uit te haal, terwyl jy self die balk wat in jou oog is, nie sien nie? Geveinsde, haal eers die balk uit jou oog uit, en dan sal jy goed sien om die splinter wat in jou broeder se oog is, uit te haal.

43  tWant dit is nie ’n goeie boom wat slegte vrugte dra nie, en ook nie ’n slegte boom wat goeie vrugte dra nie.

44  tWant elke boom word geken aan sy eie vrugte. Van dorings pluk ’n mens tog nie vye nie, en ’n mens sny ook nie druiwe van ’n doringbos nie.

45  tDie goeie mens bring uit die goeie skat van sy hart te voorskyn wat goed is; en die slegte mens bring uit die slegte skat van sy hart te voorskyn wat sleg is; twant uit die oorvloed van die hart spreek sy mond.

46  tEn wat noem julle My: Here, Here! en doen nie wat Ek sê nie?

47 Elkeen wat na My toe kom en tna my woorde luister en dit doen — Ek sal julle wys soos wie hy is.

48 Hy is soos ’n man wat ’n huis bou, wat gegrawe en diep ingegaan en die fondament op die rots gelê het; en toe die vloedwater kom en die stroom teen daardie huis losbreek, kon hy dit nie beweeg nie, omdat sy fondament op die rots was.
49 Maar wie dit hoor en dit nie doen nie, is soos ’n man wat ’n huis tsonder fondament op die grond bou, en die stroom het daarteen losgebreek en dit het dadelik geval, en die instorting van daardie huis was groot.

Luke 6

1  ONE SABBATH while Jesus was passing through the fields of standing grain, it occurred that His disciples picked some of the spikes and ate [of the grain], rubbing it out in their hands. 2  But some of the Pharisees asked them, Why are you doing what is not permitted to be done on the Sabbath days? 3  And Jesus replied to them, saying, Have you never so much as read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him?--[I Sam. 21:1-6.]4  How he went into the house of God and took and ate the [sacred] loaves of the showbread, which it is not permitted for any except only the priests to eat, and also gave to those [who were] with him? 5  And He said to them, The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.6  And it occurred on another Sabbath that when He went into the synagogue and taught, a man was present whose right hand was withered.7  And the scribes and the Pharisees kept watching Jesus to see whether He would [actually] heal on the Sabbath, in order that they might get [some ground for] accusation against Him.8  But He was aware all along of their thoughts, and He said to the man with the withered hand, Come and stand here in the midst. And he arose and stood there.9  Then Jesus said to them, I ask you, is it lawful and right on the Sabbath to do good [so that someone derives advantage from it] or to do evil, to save a life [and make a soul safe] or to destroy it?10  Then He glanced around at them all and said to the man, Stretch out your hand! And he did so, and his hand was fully restored like the other one. 11  But they were filled with lack of understanding and senseless rage and discussed (consulted) with one another what they might do to Jesus.12  Now in those days it occurred that He went up into a mountain to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.13  And when it was day, He summoned His disciples and selected from them twelve, whom He named apostles (special messengers):14  They were Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;15  And Matthew and Thomas; and James son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,16  And Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor (a treacherous, basely faithless person).17  And Jesus came down with them and took His stand on a level spot, with a great crowd of His disciples and a vast throng of people from all over Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to listen to Him and to be cured of their diseases--18  Even those who were disturbed and troubled with unclean spirits, and they were being healed [also].19  And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, for healing power was all the while going forth from Him and curing them all [saving them from severe illnesses or calamities].20  And solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you poor and lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of God is yours!21  Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you who hunger and seek with eager desire now, for you shall be filled and completely satisfied! Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you who weep and sob now, for you shall laugh!22  Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you when people despise (hate) you, and when they exclude and excommunicate you [as disreputable] and revile and denounce you and defame and cast out and spurn your name as evil (wicked) on account of the Son of Man.23  Rejoice and be glad at such a time and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven; for even so their forefathers treated the prophets.24  But woe to (alas for) you who are rich (abounding in material resources), for you already are receiving your consolation (the solace and sense of strengthening and cheer that come from prosperity) and have taken and enjoyed your comfort in full [having nothing left to be awarded you].25  Woe to (alas for) you who are full now (completely filled, luxuriously gorged and satiated), for you shall hunger and suffer want! Woe to (alas for) you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep and wail!26  Woe to (alas for) you when everyone speaks fairly and handsomely of you and praises you, for even so their forefathers did to the false prophets.27  But I say to you who are listening now to Me: [in order to heed, make it a practice to] love your enemies, treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred,28  Invoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you, implore God’s blessing (favor) upon those who abuse you [who revile, reproach, disparage, and high-handedly misuse you].29  To the one who strikes you on the jaw or cheek, offer the other jaw or cheek also; and from him who takes away your outer garment, do not withhold your undergarment as well.30  Give away to everyone who begs of you [who is in want of necessities], and of him who takes away from you your goods, do not demand or require them back again.31  And as you would like and desire that men would do to you, do exactly so to them.32  If you [merely] love those who love you, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? For even the [very] sinners love their lovers (those who love them).33  And if you are kind and good and do favors to and benefit those who are kind and good and do favors to and benefit you, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? For even the preeminently sinful do the same.34  And if you lend money at interest to those from whom you hope to receive, what quality of credit and thanks is that to you? Even notorious sinners lend money at interest to sinners, so as to recover as much again.35  But love your enemies and be kind and do good [doing favors so that someone derives benefit from them] and lend, expecting and hoping for nothing in return but considering nothing as lost and despairing of no one; and then your recompense (your reward) will be great (rich, strong, intense, and abundant), and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind and charitable and good to the ungrateful and the selfish and wicked.36  So be merciful (sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate) even as your Father is [all these].37  Judge not [neither pronouncing judgment nor subjecting to censure], and you will not be judged; do not condemn and pronounce guilty, and you will not be condemned and pronounced guilty; acquit and forgive and release (give up resentment, let it drop), and you will be acquitted and forgiven and released.38  Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.39  He further told them a proverb: Can a blind [man] guide and direct a blind [man]? Will they not both stumble into a ditch or a hole in the ground?40  A pupil is not superior to his teacher, but everyone [when he is] completely trained (readjusted, restored, set to rights, and perfected) will be like his teacher.41  Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye but do not notice or consider the beam [of timber] that is in your own eye?42  Or how can you say to your brother, Brother, allow me to take out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the beam that is in your own eye? You actor (pretender, hypocrite)! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.43  For there is no good (healthy) tree that bears decayed (worthless, stale) fruit, nor on the other hand does a decayed (worthless, sickly) tree bear good fruit.44  For each tree is known and identified by its own fruit; for figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor is a cluster of grapes picked from a bramblebush.45  The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks.46  Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not [practice] what I tell you?47  For everyone who comes to Me and listens to My words [in order to heed their teaching] and does them, I will show you what he is like:48  He is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid a foundation upon the rock; and when a flood arose, the torrent broke against that house and could not shake or move it, because it had been securely built or founded on a rock .49  But he who merely hears and does not practice doing My words is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the torrent burst, and immediately it collapsed and fell, and the breaking and ruin of that house was great.
