PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Matthéüs 20:17-24)

HULLE SAL HOM TOT DIE DOOD VEROORDEEL:

17. Terwyl Jesus na Jerusalem onderweg was, het Hy Sy dissipels opsy geneem en vir hulle gesê: “Luister nou goed. As ons in Jerusalem kom, sal Ek, die Seun van die mens, uitgelewer word aan die priesterhoofde en die skrifkenners.

18. “Hulle sal Hom tot die dood veroordeel.

19. “En hulle sal My uitlewer aan die Romeine, om gespot, en gegésel en gekruisig te word. Maar op die derde dag sal Ek uit die dood opgewek word.

20. Daarop kom die ma van Jakobus en Johannes, die seuns van Sebedeus, na Jesus toe met haar twee seuns. Sy kniel toe eerbiedig neer om van Hom ‘n guns te vra.

21. “Wat is jou versoek?” Het Jesus haar gevra. Haar antwoord was: ‘In U Koninkryk, wanneer U op U troon sit, mag my twee seuns op die ereplekke regs en links van U sit?’

22. Daarop het Jesus geantwoord: “Julle besef nie wat julle vra nie! Sien julle daarvoor kans om die bitter lydens-beker te drink wat vir My bestem is?” Hulle antwoord was: ‘Ja ons sien daarvoor kans.’

23. “Dis waar,” sê Hy, “julle sal ook ook daarvan drink. Maar Ek beskik nie oor wie langs My op My troon sal sit nie. My Vader hou daardie plekke gereed vir dié wat Hy Self uitgekies het.”

24. Toe die ander tien hoor wat die twee broers wou hê, was hulle baie verontwaardig.

(Matthew 20:17-24)

THEY WILL CONDEMN HIM TO DEATH:

17. And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way He said to them:

18. “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death,

19. “and deliver Him to the Gentiles, to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and He Will be raised on the third day.”

20. Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee, came up to Him with her sons, and kneeling before Him, she asked for something.

21. And He said to her: “What do you want?” She answered Him: ‘Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at Your right hand, and one on Your left, in Your Kingdom.’

22. Jesus answered: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I Am to drink?” They said to Him: ‘We are able.’

23. He said to them: “You will drink My cup, but to sit at My right hand and My left, is not Mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”

24. And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers.

(Matthéüs 20:9-16)

“DIÉ WAT NOU NIE GEREKEN WORD NIE, SAL EENDAG DIE BELANGRIKSTE WEES:”

9. “Dié wat teen vyf-uur die middag gehuur is, kom toe en kry ‘n voldag se betaling.

10. “Dié wat vroeër gehuur is, kom toe met die gedagte dat hulle meer sal kry, hulle kry toe ook maar die gewone dagloon.

11. “Toe hulle, hulle betaling kry, het hulle teenoor die eienaar geprotesteer,

12. “en gesê: ‘Hierdie laatkommers het net ‘n uur gewerk en jy behandel hulle dieselfde as ons, wat die hele ganse dag in die warm son moes swoeg.’

13. “Hy reageer toe teenoor een van hulle; ‘My vriend, ek behandel jou nie onbillik nie. Het ek dan nie met jou vir die gewone dagloon afgespreek nie?

14. “‘Neem dit en gaan. Ek het dit goed gevind om vir die een wat laaste begin het, dieselfde te gee as vir jou.

15. “‘Is dit dan teen die wet om met my geld te maak soos ek goeddink? Of voel jy bitter omdat ek aan ander goed doen?’

16. “So sal baie wat nou vernaam lyk, eendag heeltemal onbelangrik wees. En dié wat nou nie gereken word nie, sal eendag die belangrikste wees.”

(Matthew 20:9-16)

“THE LAST WILL BE FIRST, AND THE FIRST LAST:”

9. “And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius.

10. “When those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius.

11. “And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house,

12. “saying: ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day, and the scorching heat.’

13. “But he replied to one of them: ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?

14. “‘Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker, as I give to you.

15. “‘Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’

16. “So the last will be first, and the first last.”

(Matthéüs 20:1-8)

HY HET HULLE GESTUUR OM IN SY WINGERD TE GAAN WERK:

1. “Die Konings-heerskappy van God is soos die eienaar van ‘n landgoed, wat vroegdag uitgegaan het, om loon-arbeiders vir sy wingerd te huur.

2. “Hy het met hulle op die gebruiklike daaglikse vergoeding ooreengekom, en hulle toe gestuur om in Sy wingerd te gaan werk.

3. “Teen nege-uur gaan hy toe weer uit, en kry ander wat op die dorpsplein rondstaan en niks doen nie.

4. “Hy huur hulle toe ook en sê vir hulle: ‘Ek sal julle aan die einde van die dag billik vergoed.

5. “Hulle het toe gegaan. Teen twaalf-uur en weer teen drie-uur die middag, het hy dieselfde oefening herhaal.

6. “Teen vyf-uur die middag kry hy in die dorp nog ander wat rondstaan. Hy vra hulle toe: ‘Waarom staan julle die hele dag so rond en niksdoen?’

7. “Hulle antwoord hom: ‘Omdat niemand ons wou huur nie.’ Hy sê toe ook vir hulle: ‘Gaan werk saam met die ander in my wingerd.’

8. “Teen die aand het hy aan sy voorman opdrag gegee om die werkers te roep, en hulle uit te betaal, ‘beginnende by die laastes, en eindig by die eerstes,’ het hy vir hom gesê.”

(Matthew 20:1-8)

HE SENT THEM INTO HIS VINEYARD:

1. “For the Kingdom of heaven is like the master of a house, who went out early in the morning, to hire laborers for his vineyard.

2. “After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.

3. “And going out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the market place,

4. “and to them he said: ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right, I will give you.’

5. “So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same.

6. “And about the eleventh hour he went out and saw others standing. And he said to them: ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’

7. “They said to him: ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them: ‘You go into the vineyard too.’

8. “And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to the foreman: ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’”

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Matthéüs 19:23-30)

“BY GOD IS ÁLLES MOONTLIK:”

23. Jesus het toe vir Sy dissipels gesê: “Ek verseker julle dit is bitter moeilik vir ‘n ryke om in God se Koninkryk in te gaan.

24. “Ek wil dit beklemtoon, dit is makliker vir ‘n kameel om deur ‘n naald se oog te gaan, as wat dit vir ‘n ryke is, om in God se Koninkryk in te gaan.”

25. Toe hulle dit hoor, was die dissipels totaal verbysterd: ‘As dit so is, wie kan dan hoegenaamd verlos word?’ Het hulle gevra.

26. Daarop het Jesus hulle aandagtig aangekyk en gesê: “Menslik gesproke is dit onmoontlik. Maar by God is alles moontlik.”

27. Toe sê Petrus vir Hom: ‘Ons het alles opgegee om U dissipels te word. Wat sal ons daaruit kry?’

28. Jesus se antwoord was: “Ek verseker julle dat wanneer Ek, die Seun van die Mens, in God se nuwe wêreld, op my Heerlike troon sal sit, sal julle wat My gevolg het, ook op twaalf trone sit, en julle sal regspreek oor die twaalf stamme van Israel.

29. “En elkeen wat ‘n huis om My ontwil opgegee het, of broers of susters, of ‘n pa of ‘n ma, of kinders of grond – hy sal honderd maal soveel terug ontvang, en boonop die Ewige Lewe verkry.

30. “Maar baie wat nou so vernaam lyk, sal eendag heeltemal onbelangrik wees. En dié wat nou nie gereken word nie, sal eendag die belangrikste wees.”

(Matthew 19:23-30)

“WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE:”

23. And Jesus said to His disciples: “Truly, I say to you: Only with difficulty will a rich person enter the Kingdom of heaven.

24. “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God.”

25. When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished, saying: ‘Who then can be saved?’

26. But Jesus looked at them and said: “With man this will be impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

27. Then Peter said in reply: ‘See, we have left everything and followed You. What then will we have?’

28. Jesus said to them: “Truly I say to you: In the new world, when the Son of man will sit on His Glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29. “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters, or father or mother or children or lands, for My Name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit Eternal Life.

30. “But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
