Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling)

Gideon sê vir die Israeliete: "Ek kan nie oor julle regeer nie, ook nie my nageslag nie. Die Here regeer oor julle."

Rigters 8:23

Dit hang dus nie af van 'n mens se wil of strewe nie, maar van God wat barmhartig is.

Romeine 9:16

Rigters 8 (Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling))

20 Toe beveel Gideon sy oudste seun Jeter: "Kom, maak hulle dood!" Maar die seun het nie 'n vinger verroer nie, want hy was 'n blote kind en hy was bang.
21 Toe sê Sebag en Salmunna vir Gideon: "Kom jy, bring jy ons om die lewe. 'n Man se krag lê in homself." Gideon het opgestaan en vir Sebag en Salmunna doodgemaak. Hy het die maanversierings aan hulle kamele se nekke vir hom gevat.
22 Die Israeliete het vir Gideon gesê: "Jy moet oor ons regeer: jy, jou seun en sy nageslag. Jy het ons gered uit die mag van Midian."
23 Maar hy sê vir hulle: "Ek kan nie oor julle regeer nie, ook nie my nageslag nie. Die Here regeer oor julle."
24 Gideon het verder vir hulle gesê: "Ek wil julle egter een ding vra: elkeen van julle moet vir my 'n oorring gee uit die buit wat julle by die Midianiete afgevat het; hulle dra mos goue oorringe."
25 Die Israeliete het geantwoord: "Dit doen ons graag." Hulle het 'n doek oopgegooi en elkeen het 'n oorring uit sy buit daarop gegooi.
26 Die gewig van die goue oorringe wat Gideon gevra het, was negentien en 'n half kilogram. Die maanversierings, oorbelle en pers klere van die Midianitiese konings was nie daarby gereken nie en ook nie die kettinkies rondom die kamele se nekke nie.

Romeine 9 (Bybel in Afrikaans (1983-vertaling))

13 -.
14 Wat moet ons hieruit aflei? Dat God onregverdig is? Beslis nie!
15 Vir Moses het Hy gesê: "Ek sal barmhartig wees oor wie Ek barmhartig wil wees, en Ek sal My ontferm oor wie Ek My wil ontferm."
16 Dit hang dus nie af van 'n mens se wil of strewe nie, maar van God wat barmhartig is.
17 In die Skrif sê God immers vir die farao: "Juis hiervoor het Ek jou teen My in opstand laat kom: dat Ek in jou my krag kan toon en dat my Naam oor die hele aarde verkondig kan word."
18 Dit is dus inderdaad so dat God Hom ontferm oor wie Hy wil, en dat Hy verhard wie Hy wil.
19 Nou sal jy vir my sê: "Maar waarom verwyt Hy ons dan nog? Wie kan tog teen sy wil ingaan?"

English Standard Version

Gideon said to the men of Israel, I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the Lord will rule over you.

Judges 8:23

It depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.

Romans 9:16

Rigters 8 (English Standard Version)

20 So he said to Jether his firstborn, “Rise and kill them!” But the young man did not draw his sword, for he was afraid, because he was still a young man.
21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise yourself and fall upon us, for as the man is, so is his strength.” And Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson also, for you have saved us from the hand of Midian.”
23 Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, and my son will not rule over you; the Lord will rule over you.”
24 And Gideon said to them, “Let me make a request of you: every one of you give me the earrings from his spoil.” (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
25 And they answered, “We will willingly give them.” And they spread a cloak, and every man threw in it the earrings of his spoil.
26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments and the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian, and besides the collars that were around the necks of their camels.

Romeine 9 (English Standard Version)

13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!
15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”
