Luke 6
1 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), while Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples, the disciples picked some of the heads of grain. They rubbed them in their hands [to separate the grains from the husks], and ate the grain. [The law of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
En het geschiedde op den tweeden eersten sabbat, dat Hij door het gezaaide ging; en Zijn discipelen plukten aren, en aten ze, die wrijvende met de handen.
2 Some Pharisees [who were watching] said to Jesus, “(You should not be doing on our rest day [work] that [our] laws forbid!/Why are you doing on our rest day [work] that our laws forbid?)” [RHQ]
En sommigen der Farizeen zeiden tot hen: Waarom doet gij, wat niet geoorloofd is te doen op de sabbatten?
3 [Jesus wanted to show them that the record in Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. [So] he replied, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David did when he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, ([but you do not think about what it implies/so why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
En Jezus, hun antwoordende, zeide: Hebt gij ook dat niet gelezen, hetwelk David deed, wanneer hem hongerde, en dengenen, die met hem waren?
4 David entered God’s big worship tent [and asked for some food]. [The high priest gave him] the bread that the priests had presented to God. It was permitted [in] one of [Moses’ laws] that only the priests could eat that bread. But [even though David was not a priest], he ate some, and gave some to the men who were with him. [And God did not consider that what David did was wrong]!”
Hoe hij ingegaan is in het huis Gods, en de toonbroden genomen en gegeten heeft, en ook gegeven dengenen, die met hem waren, welke niet zijn geoorloofd te eten, dan alleen den priesteren.
5 Jesus also said to them, “[I am] the one who came from heaven, so [I] have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do on] the day of rest!”
En Hij zeide tot hen: De Zoon des mensen is een Heere ook van den sabbat.
6 Another (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus entered a (synagogue/Jewish meeting place) and taught the people. There was a man there whose right hand was shriveled.
En het geschiedde ook op een anderen sabbat, dat Hij in de synagoge ging, en leerde. En daar was een mens, en zijn rechterhand was dor.
7 The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees [who were there] watched Jesus, to see if he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this so that, [if he healed the man], they would accuse him [of disobeying their laws by working on the day of rest].
En de Schriftgeleerden en de Farizeen namen Hem waar, of Hij op den sabbat genezen zou; opdat zij enige beschuldiging tegen Hem mochten vinden.
8 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to the man with the shriveled hand, “Come and stand here [in front of everyone]!” So the man got up and stood there.
Doch Hij kende hun gedachten, en zeide tot den mens, die de dorre hand had: Rijs op, en sta in het midden. En hij opgestaan zijnde, stond overeind.
9 Then Jesus said to the others, “I ask you this: Do the laws that [God gave Moses] permit [people] to do what is good (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit people] to harm [others]? [Do they permit us] to save [a person’s] life [on our day of rest] or to let [him] die [HYP] [by refusing to help him]?”
Zo zeide dan Jezus tot hen: Ik zal u vragen: Wat is geoorloofd op de sabbatten, goed te doen, of kwaad te doen, een mens te behouden, of te verderven?
10 [They refused to answer him. So] after he looked around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your [shriveled] hand!” The man did that, and his hand became all right again!
En hen allen rondom aangezien hebbende, zeide Hij tot den mens: Strek uw hand uit. En hij deed alzo; en zijn hand werd hersteld, gezond gelijk de andere.
11 But the men who taught the Jewish laws and the Pharisees were very angry, and they discussed with one another what they could do to [get rid of] Jesus.
En zij werden vervuld met uitzinnigheid, en spraken samen met elkander, wat zij Jezus doen zouden.
12 About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
En het geschiedde in die dagen, dat Hij uitging naar den berg, om te bidden, en Hij bleef den nacht over in het gebed tot God.
13 The next day he summoned all his disciples to come near him. From them he chose twelve men, whom he called apostles.
En als het dag was geworden, riep Hij Zijn discipelen tot Zich, en verkoos er twaalf uit hen, die Hij ook apostelen noemde:
14 They were Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name, Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James and [his younger brother], John; Philip; Bartholomew;
Namelijk Simon, welken Hij ook Petrus noemde; en Andreas zijn broeder, Jakobus en Johannes, Filippus en Bartholomeus;
15 Matthew, whose other name was Levi; Thomas; [another] James, the [son] of Alpheus; Simon, who belonged to the party [that encouraged people to] rebel [against the Roman government];
Mattheus en Thomas, Jakobus, den zoon van Alfeus, en Simon genaamd Zelotes;
16 Judas, the [son] of [another] James; and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), the one who later (betrayed Jesus./enabled the Jewish leaders to seize Jesus.)
Judas, den broeder van Jakobus, en Judas Iskariot, die ook de verrader geworden is.
17 [Jesus] came down from the hills with his disciples and stood on a level area. There was a very big crowd of his disciples there. There was also a large group of people who had come from Jerusalem and from many [other] places [in] Judea [district], and from the coastal areas near Tyre and Sidon [cities].
En met hen afgekomen zijnde, stond Hij op een vlakke plaats, en met Hem de schare Zijner discipelen, en een grote menigte des volks van geheel Judea en Jeruzalem, en van den zeekant van Tyrus en Sidon;
18 They came to hear Jesus talk to them and to be healed {and for him to heal them} from their diseases. He also healed those whom evil spirits had troubled.
Die gekomen waren, om Hem te horen, en om van hun ziekten genezen te worden, en die van onreine geesten gekweld waren; en zij werden genezen.
19 Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
En al de schare zocht Hem aan te raken; want er ging kracht van Hem uit, en Hij genas ze allen.
20 He looked [MTY] at his disciples and said, “[God] is pleased with you [who know] that you lack what [he wants you to have; ] he will allow you to be the people whose lives he rules over.
En Hij, Zijn ogen opslaande over Zijn discipelen, zeide: Zalig zijt gij, armen, want uwer is het Koninkrijk Gods.
21 [God] is pleased with you who sincerely desire to receive what [MTY] [he wants you to have]; he will give you what you need, until you are satisfied. [God] is pleased with you that grieve now [because of sin]. Later you will be joyful.
Zalig zijt gij, die nu hongert; want gij zult verzadigd worden. Zalig zijt gij, die nu weent; want gij zult lachen.
22 [God] is pleased with you when [other] people hate you, when they will not let you join them, when they insult you, when they say that you are evil because [you believe in] me, the one who came from heaven.
Zalig zijt gij, wanneer u de mensen haten, en wanneer zij u afscheiden, en smaden, en uw naam als kwaad verwerpen, om des Zoons des mensen wil.
23 When that happens, rejoice! Jump up and down because you are so happy! [God will give] you a great reward in heaven! [When they do these things to you, it will prove that you are God’s servants]. (OR, [People have always treated God’s servants like that].) Do not forget that these people’s ancestors did the same things to the prophets [who served God faithfully]!
Verblijdt u in dien dag, en zijt vrolijk; want, ziet, uw loon is groot in den hemel; want hun vaders deden desgelijks den profeten.
24 But there will be terrible punishment for you that are rich; the happiness you have received [from your riches] is the only happiness that you will get.
Maar wee u, gij rijken, want gij hebt uw troost weg.
25 There will be terrible punishment for you who [think that you] have all that you need now; you will [realize] that these things will not make you feel satisfied. There will be terrible punishment for you who are joyful now; you will [later] be very sad.
Wee u, die verzadigd zijt, want gij zult hongeren. Wee u, die nu lacht, want gij zult treuren en wenen.
26 When most [HYP] people speak well about you, trouble is ahead for you; [it will not prove that you are God’s servants, because] your ancestors used to speak well about those who falsely [claimed that they were] prophets.”
Wee u, wanneer al de mensen wel van u spreken, want hun vaders deden desgelijks den valsen profeten.
27 “But I say this to each of you [disciples] who are listening [to what I say]: Love your enemies [as well as your friends]. Do good things for those who hate you!
Maar Ik zeg ulieden, die dit hoort: Hebt uw vijanden lief; doet wel dengenen, die u haten.
28 [Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
Zegent degenen, die u vervloeken, en bidt voor degenen, die u geweld doen.
29 If someone [insults one of you by] striking you on one of your cheeks, turn your face [so that he can strike] the other cheek [also]. If [a bandit] wants to take away your [(sg)] coat, let him also have your shirt.
Dengene, die u aan de wang slaat, biedt ook de andere; en dengene, die u den mantel neemt, verhindert ook den rok niet te nemen.
30 Give something to everyone who asks you [(sg) for something]. If someone takes away things that belong to you [(sg)], do not ask him to return them.
Maar geeft een iegelijk, die van u begeert; en van dengene, die het uwe neemt, eist niet weder.
31 In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
En gelijk gij wilt, dat u de mensen doen zullen, doet gij hun ook desgelijks.
32 If you love [only] those who love you, do not [expect God] to praise you for [doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners love those who love them.
En indien gij liefhebt, die u liefhebben, wat dank hebt gij? Want ook de zondaars hebben lief degenen, die hen liefhebben.
33 If you do good things [only] for those who do good things for you, do not [expect God] to reward you [for doing that] [RHQ], [because] even sinners do that.
En indien gij goed doet dengenen, die u goed doen, wat dank hebt gij? Want ook de zondaars doen hetzelfde.
34 If you lend [things or money only] to those who you expect will give something back to you, do not [expect that God] will reward you [RHQ] [for doing that]. Even sinners lend to other sinners, because they expect them to pay everything back.
En indien gij leent dengenen, van welke gij hoopt weder te ontvangen, wat dank hebt gij? Want ook de zondaars lenen den zondaren, opdat zij evengelijk weder mogen ontvangen.
35 Instead, love your enemies! Do good things for them! Lend to them, and do not expect them to pay anything back! [If you do that, God will give] you a big reward. And you will be [acting like] his children [should]. Remember that God is kind to people who are not grateful and to people who are wicked, [and he expects you to be like that too].
Maar hebt uw vijanden lief, en doet goed, en leent, zonder iets weder te hopen; en uw loon zal groot zijn, en gij zult kinderen des Allerhoogsten zijn; want Hij is goedertieren over de ondankbaren en bozen.
36 Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
Weest dan barmhartig, gelijk ook uw Vader barmhartig is.
37 “Do not say how sinfully others have acted, and then [God] will not say how sinfully you have acted. Do not condemn others, and then [he] will not condemn you [DOU]. Forgive others [for the evil things that they have done to you], and then [God] will forgive you.
En oordeelt niet, en gij zult niet geoordeeld worden; verdoemt niet, en gij zult niet verdoemd worden; laat los, en gij zult losgelaten worden.
38 Give [good things to others], and then [God] will give [good] things to you. It will be [as though] [MET] [God is putting things in a basket] for you. He will give you a full amount, pressed down in the basket, which he will shake [so that he can put more in], and it will spill over the sides! [Remember that] the way you act [toward others] will be the way that [God] will act toward you!”
Geeft, en u zal gegeven worden; een goede, neergedrukte, en geschudde en overlopende maat zal men in uw schoot geven; want met dezelfde maat, waarmede gijlieden meet, zal ulieden wedergemeten worden.
39 He also told [his disciples] this parable [to show them that they should be like him, and not be like the Jewish religious leaders]: “(You certainly would not [expect] a blind man to lead another blind man./Would you [expect] a blind man to lead [another] blind man?) [RHQ] If he tried to do [that], (they would both probably fall into a hole!/wouldn’t they both probably fall into a hole?) [RHQ] [I am your teacher, and you disciples should be like me].
En Hij zeide tot hen een gelijkenis: Kan ook wel een blinde een blinde op den weg leiden? Zullen zij niet beiden in de gracht vallen?
40 A disciple should not [expect to be] better known than his teacher. But if a student is fully trained {if someone fully trains a student}, the student can become like his teacher [MET]. [So you should be content to be like me].
De discipel is niet boven zijn meester; maar een iegelijk volmaakt discipel zal zijn gelijk zijn meester.
41 (Why do you notice [someone else’s small faults]?/None of you should be concerned about [someone else’s small faults] [MET, RHQ].) [That would be like] noticing a speck in that person’s eye. But you should be concerned about [your own big faults. They are like] planks in your own eye, [which you do not notice].
En wat ziet gij den splinter, die in uws broeders oog is, en den balk, die in uw eigen oog is, merkt gij niet?
42 (You [(sg)] should not say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye!/Why do you say, ‘Friend, let me take out that speck in your eye!’ when you do not notice the log in your own eye?) [RHQ] [If you do that], you are a hypocrite! You should first [stop committing your own sins. That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye. Then, as a result, you will have the spiritual insight you need to help others get rid of the [faults that are like] specks in their eyes.”
Of hoe kunt gij tot uw broeder zeggen: Broeder, laat toe, dat ik den splinter, die in uw oog is, uitdoe; daar gij zelf den balk, die in uw oog is, niet ziet? Gij geveinsde! doe eerst den balk uit uw oog, en dan zult gij bezien, om den splinter uit te doen, die in uws broeders oog is.
43 “[People are like trees] [MET]. Healthy trees do not bear bad fruit (OR, bear only good fruit), and unhealthy trees do not bear good fruit.
Want het is geen goede boom, die kwade vrucht voortbrengt, en geen kwade boom, die goede vrucht voortbrengt;
44 [Just like you] can tell if a tree is good or bad by looking at its fruit, [you can tell which people are good and which are bad by looking at the way they] conduct their lives. [For example, because thornbushes cannot produce figs], no one can pick figs from thornbushes. And [since bramble bushes cannot produce grapes], no one can [pick] grapes from bramble bushes.
Want ieder boom wordt uit zijn eigen vrucht gekend; want men leest geen vijgen van doornen, en men snijdt geen druif van bramen.
45 [Similarly], good people will conduct their lives in a good way because they think a lot of good [things], and evil people will live in an evil way because they think a lot of evil [things]. The basic principle is that people speak [and act] according to all that they think.”
De goede mens brengt het goede voort uit den goeden schat zijns harten; en de kwade mens brengt het kwade voort uit den kwaden schat zijns harten; want uit den overvloed des harten spreekt zijn mond.
46 “[Because people should obey what their masters tell them], (it is disgraceful that you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you!/why do you say that I am your master but you do not do what I tell you?) [RHQ]
En wat noemt gij Mij, Heere, Heere! en doet niet hetgeen Ik zeg?
47 Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
Een iegelijk, die tot Mij komt, en Mijn woorden hoort, en dezelve doet, Ik zal u tonen, wien hij gelijk is.
48 They are like a man who dug deep [into the ground to prepare to build his house]. He made sure that the foundation was on solid ground. Then when there was a flood, the water tried to wash away the house. But the river could not shake the house, because it was built {he built it} on a solid [foundation].
Hij is gelijk een mens, die een huis bouwde, en groef, en verdiepte, en leide het fondament op een steenrots; als nu de hoge vloed kwam, zo sloeg de waterstroom tegen dat huis aan, en kon het niet bewegen; want het was op de steenrots gegrond.
49 But some people hear my messages but do not obey them. They are like a man who built a house on top of the ground without [digging] a foundation. When the river flooded, the house collapsed immediately and was completely ruined. [So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
Maar die ze gehoord, en niet gedaan zal hebben, is gelijk een mens, die een huis bouwde op de aarde zonder fondament; tegen hetwelk de waterstroom aansloeg, en het viel terstond, en de val van datzelve huis was groot.
