3. "And there was a widow in that town who kept on coming to him with a plea: 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'

4. "For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself: 'Even though I don't fear God, or care about men, 

5. "'Yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!'"

6. And the Lord said: "Listen to what the unjust judge says: 

7. "And will not God bring about justice for His chosen ones who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off?

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Lukas 18:1-8]

1. En Hy het aan hulle 'n gelykenis vertel met die oog daarop dat 'n mens aanhoudend moet bid en nie moedeloos word nie. 

2. En gesê: "Daar was 'n regter in 'n stad wat God nie gevrees en geen mens ontsien het nie. 

3. "En daar was in daardie stad 'n weduwee, en sy het gedurig na hom gekom en gesê: 'Doen reg aan my teenoor my teëparty."

4. "En 'n tyd lank wou hy nie; maar daarna het hy by homself gesê: 'Al vrees ek God ook nie en al ontsien ek geen mens nie

5. "'Tog sal ek, omdat hierdie weduwee my moeite gee, aan haar reg doen, sodat sy nie eindelik kom en my in die gesig slaan nie.'"

6. Toe sê die Here: "Hoor wat die onregverdige regter sê. 

7. "Sal God dan nie reg doen aan Sy uitverkorenes wat dag en nag tot Hom roep nie, al is Hy ook lankmoedig in hulle geval?

8. "Ek sê viir julle dat Hy gou aan hulle reg sal doen; maar as die Seun van die Mens kom, sal Hy wel die geloof op die aarde vind?"
