Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling)

Eer die Here julle God voordat dit donker word.

Jeremia 13:16

Die ware lig wat elke mens verlig, was aan kom na die wêreld toe.

Johannes 1:9

Jeremia 13 (Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling))

13 Dan moet jy vir hulle sê: So sê die Here: Ek gaan al die inwoners van hierdie land dronk maak, ook die konings wat op die troon van Dawid sit en die priesters en die profete, ja, al die inwoners van Jerusalem.
14 Ek sal hulle teen mekaar verpletter, vaders en kinders saam, sê die Here. Ek sal niemand spaar of verskoon nie, sonder ontferming sal Ek hulle uitroei.
15 Luister, gee aandag! Moenie so hoogmoedig wees nie: die Here het gepraat!
16 Eer die Here julle God voordat dit donker word, voordat julle julle in die skemer vasloop teen die berge. Julle sal wag op lig, maar Hy sal duisternis bring, Hy sal dit stikdonker laat word.
17 Maar as julle nie luister nie, sal Ek in stilte huil oor julle hoogmoed, Ek sal huil en huil, trane stort omdat my kudde as ballinge weggevoer word.
18 Sê vir die koning en vir die koninginmoeder: Klim van die troon af, want julle sal nie meer julle sierlike krone dra nie.
19 Die stede in die Suidland is beleër, niemand kan hulle ontset nie; die hele Juda word in ballingskap weggevoer, hulle moet almal weg.

Johannes 1 (Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling))

6 Daar was 'n man wat deur God gestuur is. Sy naam was Johannes.
7 Hy het gekom om te getuig; hy moes getuig van die lig, sodat almal deur hom tot geloof kon kom.
8 Hy was self nie die lig nie, maar hy moes van die lig getuig.
9 Die ware lig wat elke mens verlig, was aan kom na die wêreld toe.
10 Hy wás in die wêreld-die wêreld het deur Hom tot stand gekom-en tog het die wêreld Hom nie erken nie.
11 Hy het na sy eiendom toe gekom, en tog het sy eie mense Hom nie aangeneem nie.
12 Maar aan almal wat Hom aangeneem het, dié wat in Hom glo, het Hy die reg gegee om kinders van God te word.

English Standard Version

Give glory to the Lord your God before he brings darkness.

Jeremiah 13:16

The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.

John 1:9

Jeremia 13 (English Standard Version)

13 Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: Behold, I will fill with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land: the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
14 And I will dash them one against another, fathers and sons together, declares the Lord. I will not pity or spare or have compassion, that I should not destroy them.’”
15 Hear and give ear; be not proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God
before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the twilight mountains,
and while you look for light
he turns it into gloom
and makes it deep darkness.
17 But if you will not listen,
my soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord's flock has been taken captive.
18 Say to the king and the queen mother:
“Take a lowly seat,
for your beautiful crown
has come down from your head.”
19 The cities of the Negeb are shut up,
with none to open them;
all Judah is taken into exile,
wholly taken into exile.

Johannes 1 (English Standard Version)

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.
11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
