Language: English

Our translations: DUT

Blessed are the poor in spirit:
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that moum:
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the mercyful:
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peace makers:
for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye,
when men shall revile you,
and persecute you,
and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Amen.

De zaligsprekingen (Uit de bergrede, Matteüs 5)

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the English

Zalig de armen van geest;
want hun behoort het rijk der hemelen.
Zalig, die wenen;
want ze zullen worden getroost.
Zalig de zachtmoedigen;
want ze zullen het land beërven.
Zalig, die hongeren en dorsten naar gerechtigheid;
want ze zullen worden verzadigd.
Zalig de barmhartigen;
want ze zullen barmhartigheid ondervinden.
Zalig de zuiveren van hart;
want ze zullen God zien.
Zalig de vreedzamen;
want ze zullen kinderen Gods genoemd worden.
Zalig, die vervolging lijden om gerechtigheid;
want hun behoort het rijk 
der hemelen.
Zalig zijt gij,
als men u beschimpt en vervolgt,
en vals beschuldigt van allerlei kwaad, om Mijnentwil.
Verheugt en verblijdt u,
want groot is uw loon in de hemel;
zo toch heeft men de profeten vervolgd, die vóór u zijn geweest.
Amen.
