Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
En toen Hij zijn twaalf leerlingen bijeen had geroepen, gaf Hij hun de macht, om de onreine geesten uit te drijven, en alle ziekten en kwalen te genezen.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
De namen der twaalf apostelen zijn: De eerste, Simon, die Petrus wordt genoemd, en Andreas zijn broer;
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
Jakobus, zoon van Zebedeüs, en zijn broer Johannes; Filippus en Bartolomeüs; Tomas en Matteüs de tollenaar; Jakobus, zoon van Alfeüs, en Taddeüs;
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
Simon de ijveraar en Judas Iskáriot, die Hem verraden heeft.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Deze twaalf zond Jesus uit, en Hij gebood hun: Slaat niet de weg naar de heidenen in, en treedt de steden van de Samaritanen niet binnen;
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
maar gaat liever tot de verdwaalde schapen uit het huis van Israël.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Gaat, preekt hun, en zegt: Het rijk der hemelen is nabij!
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Geneest zieken, wekt doden op, reinigt melaatsen, drijft boze geesten uit. Om niet hebt gij ontvangen; geeft om niet.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Goud-, zilver- noch kopergeld moogt gij in uw gordels dragen,
geen tas, geen twee onderkleren, geen schoeisel, geen reisstaf meenemen; want de arbeider heeft recht op zijn onderhoud.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
In welke stad of dorp gij ook komt, onderzoekt, wie daar de waardigste is; en blijft bij hem, totdat gij weer afreist.
Als gij dat huis binnentreedt, brengt het uw groet.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
En zo dat huis het waardig is, dan daalt uw vrede er over neer; zo niet, dan keert uw vrede terug op u.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
En waar men u niet ontvangt en niet luistert naar uw woorden, verlaat dat huis of die stad, en schudt het stof van uw voeten.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Voorwaar, Ik zeg u: voor het land van Sódoma en Gomorra zal het dragelijker zijn op de oordeelsdag dan voor die stad.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
Ziet, Ik zend u als schapen midden onder de wolven. Weest dus voorzichtig als de slangen, en eenvoudig als de duiven.
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
Wacht u voor de mensen. Want ze zullen u overleveren aan de rechtbanken, en geselen in hun synagogen.
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
Terwille van Mij zult gij voor landvoogden en koningen worden gesleept, om getuigenis af te leggen bij hen en bij de heidenen.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Maar als ze u overleveren, weest dan niet bezorgd, hoe of wat gij zult spreken; want in dat uur zal u worden ingegeven, wat gij moet zeggen.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Immers niet gij zijt het, die spreekt, maar het is de Geest van uw Vader, die door u spreekt.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
De broer zal zijn broer ter dood overleveren, de vader zijn zoon; en de kinderen zullen opstaan tegen hun ouders, en ze doden.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Om mijn Naam zult gij gehaat zijn bij allen; maar wie volhardt ten einde toe, zal zalig worden.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
Als men u vervolgt in de ene stad, vlucht dan naar een andere. Voorwaar, Ik zeg u: gij zult de steden van Israël nog niet hebben afgereisd, wanneer de Mensenzoon komt.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
De leerling staat niet boven zijn meester, de dienaar niet boven zijn heer.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Voor den leerling is het genoeg, als het hem gaat als zijn meester; voor den dienaar, als het hem gaat als zijn heer. Indien men den heer des huizes Beélzebub heeft genoemd, hoeveel te meer dan zijn huisgenoten.
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
Vreest hen dus niet. Want niets is bedekt, dat niet ontdekt, niets verborgen, dat niet bekend zal worden.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Wat Ik u zeg in het duister, zegt dat op klaarlichte dag; en wat gij hoort fluisteren, verkondigt dat van de daken.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Weest niet bevreesd voor hen, die wel het lichaam doden, doch de ziel niet kunnen doden; vreest liever Hem, die èn ziel èn lichaam in de hel kan verderven. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Worden niet twee mussen voor een penning verkocht? En toch zal er niet één op de grond vallen zonder de wil van uw Vader.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
En van u zijn alle hoofdharen geteld.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Vreest dus niet; gij zijt meer waard dan een zwerm mussen.
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
Wie Mij belijdt voor de mensen, zal ook Ik voor mijn Vader belijden, die in de hemelen is.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Maar wie Mij voor de mensen verloochent, hem zal ook Ik verloochenen voor mijn Vader, die in de hemelen is.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
Denkt niet, dat Ik vrede ben komen brengen op aarde; geen vrede, maar het zwaard ben Ik komen brengen.
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Want Ik ben verdeeldheid komen brengen tussen een man en zijn vader, tussen dochter en moeder, tussen schoondochter en schoonmoeder;
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
en ‘s mensen ergste vijanden zullen zijn huisgenoten zijn.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
Wie zijn vader of moeder meer bemint dan Mij, is Mijner niet waardig; wie zijn zoon of dochter meer bemint dan Mij, is Mijner niet waardig.
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
En wie zijn kruis niet opneemt en Mij niet volgt, is Mijner niet waardig.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
Wie zijn leven vindt, zal het verliezen; en wie terwille van Mij zijn leven verliest, zal het vinden.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
Wie u opneemt, neemt Mij op; en wie Mij opneemt, neemt Hem op, die Mij gezonden heeft.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
Wie een profeet opneemt, omdat hij profeet is, zal het loon van een profeet ontvangen; en wie een rechtvaardige opneemt, omdat hij een rechtvaardige is, zal het loon van een rechtvaardige ontvangen.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
En wie slechts een beker koud water te drinken geeft aan een dezer kleinen, omdat hij een leerling is, voorwaar, Ik zeg u: hem zal zijn loon niet ontgaan.
