1Ons maak vir julle bekend, broers en susters, die genade van God wat in die gemeentes van Masedonië gegee is,
aLetterlik: broers.
Γνωρίζομεν δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν δεδομένην ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῆς Μακεδονίας,Now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the churches of Macedonia.
2dat in 'n groot beproewing van verdrukking die oorvloed van hulle vreugde en hulle diepe armoede oorvloedig geword het tot die rykdom van hulle vrygewigheid;
aLetterlik: hulle eenvoud.
ὅτι ἐν πολλῇ δοκιμῇ θλίψεως ἡ περισσεία τῆς χαρᾶς αὐτῶν καὶ ἡ κατὰ βάθους πτωχεία αὐτῶν ἐπερίσσευσεν εἰς ⸂τὸ πλοῦτος⸃ τῆς ἁπλότητος αὐτῶν·In the terrible ordeal they suffered, their abundant joy and deep poverty overflowed into rich generosity.
3dat hulle na vermoë, ek getuig dit, en bo vermoë, uit eie beweging,ὅτι κατὰ δύναμιν, μαρτυρῶ, καὶ ⸀παρὰ δύναμιν, αὐθαίρετοιFor I testify that they gave according to their ability and even beyond it. Of their own accord, 4het hulle ons met baie aandrang gesmeek om die guns en die deelname aan die diens aan die heiliges—μετὰ πολλῆς παρακλήσεως δεόμενοι ἡμῶν, τὴν χάριν καὶ τὴν κοινωνίαν τῆς διακονίας τῆς εἰς τοὺς ἁγίους—they earnestly pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. 5en nie soos ons gehoop het nie, maar hulle het hulleself eerste aan die Here gegee en aan ons deur die wil van God,καὶ οὐ καθὼς ἠλπίσαμεν ἀλλʼ ἑαυτοὺς ἔδωκαν πρῶτον τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ἡμῖν διὰ θελήματος θεοῦ,And not only did they do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then to us, through the will of God. 6sodat ons Titus aangemoedig het dat, soos hy vroeër begin het, hy ook so onder julle hierdie genade sou voltooi.εἰς τὸ παρακαλέσαι ἡμᾶς Τίτον ἵνα καθὼς προενήρξατο οὕτως καὶ ἐπιτελέσῃ εἰς ὑμᾶς καὶ τὴν χάριν ταύτην·So we urged Titus to help complete your act of grace, just as he had started it. 7Maar soos julle in alles oorvloedig is, in geloof en woord en kennis en in alle ywer en in die liefde wat van ons in julle is, so moet julle ook in hierdie genade oorvloedig wees.
aSommige manuskripte lees: in die liefde wat van julle in ons is.
ἀλλʼ ὥσπερ ἐν παντὶ περισσεύετε, πίστει καὶ λόγῳ καὶ γνώσει καὶ πάσῃ σπουδῇ καὶ τῇ ἐξ ⸂ἡμῶν ἐν ὑμῖν⸃ ἀγάπῃ, ἵνα καὶ ἐν ταύτῃ τῇ χάριτι περισσεύητε.But just as you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness, and in the love we inspired in you —see that you also excel in this grace of giving.
8Ek sê dit nie as 'n bevel nie, maar om deur die ywer van ander ook die egtheid van julle liefde te toets.Οὐ κατʼ ἐπιταγὴν λέγω ἀλλὰ διὰ τῆς ἑτέρων σπουδῆς καὶ τὸ τῆς ὑμετέρας ἀγάπης γνήσιον δοκιμάζων·I am not giving a command, but I am testing the sincerity of your love through the earnestness of others. 9Want julle ken die genade van ons Here Jesus Christus, dat Hy ter wille van julle arm geword het terwyl Hy ryk was, sodat julle deur Sy armoede ryk kon word.γινώσκετε γὰρ τὴν χάριν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὅτι διʼ ὑμᾶς ἐπτώχευσεν πλούσιος ὤν, ἵνα ὑμεῖς τῇ ἐκείνου πτωχείᾳ πλουτήσητε.For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich. 10En in hierdie saak gee ek 'n mening, want dit is tot julle voordeel, julle wat nie net die doen nie, maar ook die wil van verlede jaar af begin het.καὶ γνώμην ἐν τούτῳ δίδωμι· τοῦτο γὰρ ὑμῖν συμφέρει, οἵτινες οὐ μόνον τὸ ποιῆσαι ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ θέλειν προενήρξασθε ἀπὸ πέρυσι·And this is my opinion about what is helpful for you in this matter: Last year you were the first not only to give, but even to have such a desire. 11Maar voltooi nou ook die doen, sodat, soos die bereidwilligheid om te wil daar was, so ook die voltooiing sal wees uit wat julle het.νυνὶ δὲ καὶ τὸ ποιῆσαι ἐπιτελέσατε, ὅπως καθάπερ ἡ προθυμία τοῦ θέλειν οὕτως καὶ τὸ ἐπιτελέσαι ἐκ τοῦ ἔχειν.Now finish the work, so that you may complete it with the same eager desire, according to your means. 12Want as die bereidwilligheid daar is, is dit aanneemlik volgens wat iemand het, nie volgens wat hy nie het nie.εἰ γὰρ ἡ προθυμία πρόκειται, καθὸ ἐὰν ⸀ἔχῃ εὐπρόσδεκτος, οὐ καθὸ οὐκ ἔχει.For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have. 13Want dit is nie sodat daar vir ander verligting is en vir julle verdrukking nie, maar uit gelykheid:οὐ γὰρ ἵνα ἄλλοις ἄνεσις, ⸀ὑμῖν θλῖψις· ἀλλʼ ἐξ ἰσότητοςIt is not our intention that others may be relieved while you are burdened, but that there may be equality. 14in die huidige tyd is julle oorvloed vir hulle gebrek, sodat ook hulle oorvloed vir julle gebrek kan wees, sodat daar gelykheid kan wees,ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ τὸ ὑμῶν περίσσευμα εἰς τὸ ἐκείνων ὑστέρημα, ἵνα καὶ τὸ ἐκείνων περίσσευμα γένηται εἰς τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα, ὅπως γένηται ἰσότης·At the present time, your surplus will meet their need, so that in turn their surplus will meet your need. This way there will be equality. 15soos geskrywe is: “Hy wat baie gehad het, het nie te veel gehad nie, en hy wat min gehad het, het nie te min gehad nie.”
aAanhaling uit Eksodus 16:18.
καθὼς γέγραπται· Ὁ τὸ πολὺ οὐκ ἐπλεόνασεν, καὶ ὁ τὸ ὀλίγον οὐκ ἠλαττόνησεν.As it is written: “He who gathered much had no excess, and he who gathered little had no shortfall.”
16Maar dank aan God wat dieselfde ywer vir julle in die hart van Titus gee,Χάρις δὲ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ⸀διδόντι τὴν αὐτὴν σπουδὴν ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ Τίτου,But thanks be to God, who put into the heart of Titus the same devotion I have for you. 17want hy het wel die aansporing aanvaar, maar omdat hy baie ywerig was, het hy uit eie beweging na julle vertrek.ὅτι τὴν μὲν παράκλησιν ἐδέξατο, σπουδαιότερος δὲ ὑπάρχων αὐθαίρετος ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς.For not only did he welcome our appeal, but he is eagerly coming to you of his own volition. 18En ons het saam met hom die broer gestuur wie se lof in die evangelie deur al die gemeentes is—συνεπέμψαμεν δὲ μετʼ αὐτοῦ τὸν ἀδελφὸν οὗ ὁ ἔπαινος ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ διὰ πασῶν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν—Along with Titus we are sending the brother who is praised by all the churches for his work in the gospel. 19en nie alleen dit nie, maar hy is ook deur die gemeentes aangewys as ons reisgenoot met hierdie genade wat deur ons bedien word tot die heerlikheid van die Here self en tot ons bereidwilligheid —οὐ μόνον δὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ χειροτονηθεὶς ὑπὸ τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν συνέκδημος ἡμῶν ⸀σὺν τῇ χάριτι ταύτῃ τῇ διακονουμένῃ ὑφʼ ἡμῶν πρὸς τὴν ⸀αὐτοῦ τοῦ κυρίου δόξαν καὶ προθυμίαν ἡμῶν—More than that, this brother was chosen by the churches to accompany us with the gracious offering we administer to honor the Lord Himself and to show our eagerness to help. 20terwyl ons dit vermy dat iemand ons sou blameer in hierdie ruim gawe wat deur ons bedien word;
aLetterlik: hierdie oorvloed.
στελλόμενοι τοῦτο μή τις ἡμᾶς μωμήσηται ἐν τῇ ἁδρότητι ταύτῃ τῇ διακονουμένῃ ὑφʼ ἡμῶν,We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this generous gift.
21want ons is bedag op wat goed is, nie alleen voor die Here nie, maar ook voor mense.⸂προνοοῦμεν γὰρ⸃ καλὰ οὐ μόνον ἐνώπιον κυρίου ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπων.For we are taking great care to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord, but also in the eyes of men. 22En ons het saam met hulle ons broer gestuur wat ons dikwels in baie dinge beproef en ywerig bevind het, maar wat nou baie meer ywerig is deur sy groot vertroue in julle.συνεπέμψαμεν δὲ αὐτοῖς τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν ὃν ἐδοκιμάσαμεν ἐν πολλοῖς πολλάκις σπουδαῖον ὄντα, νυνὶ δὲ πολὺ σπουδαιότερον πεποιθήσει πολλῇ τῇ εἰς ὑμᾶς.And we are sending along with them our brother who has proven his earnestness to us many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in you. 23Wat Titus betref: hy is my deelgenoot en medewerker vir julle; wat ons broers betref: hulle is gesante van die gemeentes, die heerlikheid van Christus.εἴτε ὑπὲρ Τίτου, κοινωνὸς ἐμὸς καὶ εἰς ὑμᾶς συνεργός· εἴτε ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν, ἀπόστολοι ἐκκλησιῶν, δόξα Χριστοῦ.As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you. As for our brothers, they are messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ. 24Betoon dan die bewys van julle liefde en van ons roem oor julle aan hulle, voor die aangesig van die gemeentes.
aSommige manuskripte lees: Betoon dan...
τὴν οὖν ἔνδειξιν τῆς ἀγάπης ὑμῶν καὶ ἡμῶν καυχήσεως ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν εἰς αὐτοὺς ⸀ἐνδεικνύμενοι εἰς πρόσωπον τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν.In full view of the churches, then, show these men the proof of your love and the reason for our boasting about you.
