Die Woord vir Sondag 10 Augustus 2025

Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling)

Tot nou toe het die Here ons gehelp.

1 Samuel 7:12

Dit gaan goed met die mens wat sy hulp van die God van Jakob ontvang, die mens wie se hoop gevestig is op die Here, sy God.

Psalm 146:5

1 Samuel 7 (Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling))

9 Samuel het 'n suiplam gevat en dit in sy geheel aan die Here as brandoffer geoffer. Hy het ook die Here om hulp gesmeek vir Israel, en die Here het sy gebed verhoor.
10 Samuel was nog besig om te offer, toe kom die Filistyne nader om teen Israel te veg. Op daardie dag het die Here 'n groot donderweer oor die Filistyne laat losbars. Die Here het hulle verwar, en hulle is deur die Israeliete verslaan.
11 Die Israeliete het van Mispa af die Filistyne agtervolg en hulle verdryf tot onderkant Bet-Kar.
12 Samuel het toe 'n klip gevat en dit regop gesit tussen Mispa en Sen. Hy het die plek Eben-Haeser genoem, "want," het hy gesê, "tot nou toe het die Here ons gehelp."
13 Die Filistyne is verslaan en het nie weer in die gebied van Israel gekom nie. Die Here was teen die Filistyne so lank as Samuel geleef het.
14 Die stede wat die Filistyne van Israel afgevat het, is deur Israel herower, van Ekron af tot by Gat. Israel het sy gebied uit die mag van die Filistyne bevry. Verder was daar vrede tussen Israel en die Amoriete.
15 Samuel was sy lewe lank 'n leier in Israel.

Psalm 146 (Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling))

2 Ek wil die Here prys so lank ek lewe, ek wil die lof van my God besing so lank ek daar is.
3 Moenie op magtiges vertrou nie, nie op 'n mens nie; hy kan jou nie red nie.
4 Sy asem verlaat hom, hy word weer grond en sy planne is daarmee heen.
5 Dit gaan goed met die mens wat sy hulp van die God van Jakob ontvang, die mens wie se hoop gevestig is op die Here, sy God.
6 Die Here het die hemel en die aarde gemaak, die see en alles daarin. Hy bly vir altyd getrou,
7 Hy laat reg geskied aan verdruktes en gee brood aan dié wat honger ly. Die Here bevry die gevangenes,
8 die Here laat blindes sien, Hy ondersteun dié wat bedruk is. Die Here het die regverdiges lief.

English Standard Version

Till now the Lord has helped us.

1 Samuel 7:12

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

Psalm 146:5

1 Samuel 7 (English Standard Version)

9 So Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the Lord. And Samuel cried out to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord answered him.
10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel. But the Lord thundered with a mighty sound that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion, and they were routed before Israel.
11 And the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and struck them, as far as below Beth-car.
12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, “Till now the Lord has helped us.”
13 So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
14 The cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.
15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

Psalm 146 (English Standard Version)

2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who keeps faith forever;
7 who executes justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
