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].
Eens ging Hij op een sabbat door een korenveld, en zijn leerlingen plukten aren af, wreven ze met de handen uit, en aten ze op.
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]
Enige farizeën zeiden dus: Waarom doet gij, wat op de sabbat niet is geoorloofd?
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]
Jesus gaf hun ten antwoord: Hebt ge dan niet gelezen, wat David deed, toen hij met zijn gevolg honger had?
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 het huis van God binnenging, de toonbroden nam en opat, en er van gaf aan hen die bij hem waren? En toch mag niemand ze eten, dan de priesters alleen.
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!”
Ook zeide Hij hun: De Mensenzoon is Heer van de 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.
Op een andere sabbat ging Hij de synagoge binnen, om onderricht te geven. Daar was een man, wiens rechterhand was verdord.
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].
De schriftgeleerden en farizeën bespiedden Hem, of Hij ook op de sabbat zou genezen, om Hem dan te kunnen beschuldigingen.
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.
Daar Hij hun gedachten kende, sprak Hij tot den man met de verdorde hand: Sta op, en kom in het midden. Hij stond op, en ging er staan.
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]?”
Nu sprak Jesus tot hen: Ik vraag u, of men op de sabbat goed mag doen of kwaad, iemand redden of doden?
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!
Hij liet zijn blik over hen allen gaan, en sprak tot hem: Strek uw hand uit! Hij strekte ze uit, en zijn hand was genezen.
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.
Maar ze werden razend van woede, en bespraken onder elkander, wat ze Jesus zouden doen.
12 About that time [Jesus] went up into the hills to pray. He prayed to God all night.
In die dagen ging Hij het gebergte in, om te bidden, en bracht er de nacht door 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.
Toen de dag aanbrak, riep Hij zijn leerlingen bijeen, en koos er twaalf van hen uit, die Hij 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;
Simon, dien Hij ook Petrus noemde, en Andreas, zijn broer; Jakobus en Johannes; Filippus en Bartolomeüs;
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];
Matteüs en Tomas; Jakobus van Alfeüs, en Simon, bijgenaamd de ijveraar,
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 (broer) van Jakobus, en Judas Iskáriot, die een verrader werd.
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].
Nu daalde Hij met hen af, en bleef op een vlakte staan. Daar bevond zich ook een talrijke groep van zijn leerlingen en een grote volksmenigte uit heel Judea en Jerusalem, en uit het kustland 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 van hun kwalen genezen te worden. Allen, die door onreine geesten werden gekweld, werden genezen.
19 Everyone [in the crowd] tried to touch him, because he was healing everyone by [his/God’s] power.
En al het volk zocht Hem aan te raken; want er ging een kracht van Hem uit, die allen genas.
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.
Nu sloeg Hij zijn ogen op naar zijn leerlingen, en sprak: Zalig gij armen; want aan u behoort 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 gij, die thans honger lijdt; want gij zult worden verzadigd. Zalig 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 de mensen u haten, u om den Mensenzoon uitbannen en honen, en smaad werpen op uw naam.
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]!
Verheugt u op die dag en jubelt; zie, uw loon is groot in de hemel. Want zó hebben hun vaders de profeten behandeld.
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, rijken; want gij hebt uw troost al ontvangen.
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 thans zijt verzadigd; want gij zult honger lijden. 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 alle mensen u prijzen; want zó hebben hun vaders met de valse profeten gedaan.
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 tot u, die naar Mij luistert: Bemint uw vijanden; doet wel aan die u haten;
28 [Ask God to] bless those who curse you! Pray for those who mistreat you!
zegent die u vloeken; bidt voor wie u lasteren.
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.
Wie u op de ene wang slaat, keer hem ook de andere toe; en wie u van de mantel berooft, weiger hem ook het onderkleed niet.
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.
Geef aan ieder die iets van u vraagt, en eis het uwe niet terug van hem, die het neemt.
31 In whatever way you [(pl)] want others to act toward you, that is the way that you should act toward them.
En zoals ge wilt, dat de mensen u doen, doet het ook aan hen.
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.
Als gij bemint die u liefhebben, wat voor verdienste hebt gij dan wel? Want ook de zondaars hebben lief, die hen beminnen.
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.
Als gij weldoet aan hen die u weldoen, wat voor verdienste hebt gij dan wel? De zondaars doen dat immers ook.
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 als gij leent aan hen, van wie gij hoopt iets terug te krijgen, wat voor verdienste hebt gij dan wel? Ook de zondaars lenen aan zondaars, om evenveel terug te krijgen.
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].
Neen, hebt uw vijanden lief, doet wel en leent uit, zonder er iets voor terug te hopen; dan zal uw loon groot zijn, en zult gij kinderen zijn van den Allerhoogste. Hij is goedertieren, zelfs voor de ondankbaren en bozen.
36 Act mercifully toward others, just like your Father [in heaven acts] mercifully [toward you].”
Weest dus barmhartig, zoals 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.
Oordeelt niet, en gij zult niet worden geoordeeld. Vonnist niet, en gij zult niet worden gevonnist. Spreekt vrij, en gij zult vrijgesproken 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 worden gegeven: een goede, volgestampte, geschudde en overlopende maat zal u in de schoot worden gestort. Want met de maat, waarmee ge meet, zal ook u worden gemeten.
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].
Hij zei hun ook een gelijkenis. Kan een blinde een blinde leiden? Vallen dan beiden niet in een kuil?
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].
Geen leerling staat boven den leraar; slechts de goedgevormde leerling zal als zijn leraar zijn.
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].
Hoe ziet ge de splinter in het oog van uw broeder, en de balk in uw eigen oog ziet ge 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 ge tot uw broeder zeggen: Broeder, laat mij de splinter trekken uit uw ogen, en de balk in uw eigen oog ziet ge niet? Huichelaar, trek eerst de balk uit uw eigen oog; dan zult ge zien, hoe ge de splinter uit het oog van uw broeder moet trekken.
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.
Neen, er is geen goede boom, die slechte vruchten draagt; geen slechte boom, die goede vruchten draagt.
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 iedere boom wordt aan zijn vruchten gekend; van doornen plukt men geen vijgen, en van een braambos snijdt men geen druiven.
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 de goede schat van zijn hart; maar de slechte mens brengt uit de slechte schat het slechte voort. Want de mond spreekt, waar het hart vol van is.
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]
Waarom noemt gij Mij Heer, Heer; en gij doet niet wat Ik zeg?
47 Some people come to me, and hear my messages and obey them. I will tell you what they are like.
Wie tot Mij komt en mijn woorden hoort, maar zich er ook naar gedraagt. Ik zal u tonen aan 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 aan een man, die een huis wilde bouwen, die graven en uitdiepen bleef, en de grondslag legde op de rots. Toen er nu een stortvloed kwam, beukte de stroom tegen dit huis; maar hij kon het niet doen wankelen, want het was stevig gebouwd.
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 wie hoort, en er niet naar handelt, is gelijk aan een man, die een huis zonder grondslag bouwde, boven op de grond. De stroom beukte er tegen aan; het huis viel aanstonds in, en werd geheel verwoest.
