Amoris securitas [38]
AMORIS SECVRITAS.
Roman. 8.
Quid nos separabit à charitate Christi? tribula-
tio, an augustia, an fames, an nuditas, an periculum, an
persecutio, an gladius? In his omnibus superamus pro-
pter eum qui dilexit nos. Certus sum, quia neque
mors, neque vita, neque angeli, neque principatus, ne-
que virtutes, neque instantia, neque futura, neque for-
titudo, neque altitudo, neque profundum, neque crea-
tura alia poterit nos separare à charitate Dei.[Bible

Om ons van Christus liefd’ te scheyden?
Oprechte liefde doch veracht

Veruolgingh, hongher, oft armoede,
Ellendicheyt, noch oock de doot:
Gherust wy blijuen in sijn hoede.

Non, il n’y a rien qui me puisse
Oster de ceste liaison,
Ni des richesses l’artifice,
Ni la crainte, ni la prison,
Außi te suis-ie tant fidelle,
Que vainquant pour toy tout effort,
Amour ie viuray soubz ton aisle,
Iusqu’, apres, & malgré la mort.

Translations

De
zekerheid van de liefde. |
|
Love's security |
|
Wat
zal ons scheiden van de liefde van Christus? Verdrukking of benauwdheid, of honger, of naaktheid, of gevaar, of het zwaard?
Maar in dit alles zijn wij
overwinnaars door Hem die ons, heeft liefgehad. Want ik ben verzekerd, dat noch dood, noch leven, noch engelen, noch machten,
noch deugden, noch heden noch
toekomst, noch krachten, noch hoogte noch diepte, noch enig ander schepsel ons zal kunnen scheiden van de liefde Gods. |
|
What will separate us from the love of Christ? Troubles, anxiety, hunger, nakedness, danger, persecution, the sword? In all
these cases we overcome because of Him who loved us. I am certain that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities,
nor virtues, nor what is present, nor what is to come, nor courage, nor what is high, nor what is deep, nor any creature will
be able to separate us from the love of God. |
|
Wie
scheidt, o Heer, van u wat gij liefhebt, of waar is onverstoorbare zekerheid dan bij u? |
|
Who, my Lord, separates from you what you love? Or where else is security assured but with You? |
|
Noch
zwaard, noch vuur scheiden hem die waarachtig liefheeft van wie hij liefheeft. |
|
Nee,
er is niets wat mij van deze liefde zou kunnen scheiden, noch gewaande rijkdom, noch angst, noch gevangenis; ook ben ik u
zo trouw dat ik voor u, Liefde, elke
moeite zal overwinnen en onder uw vleugel zal leven: tot aan, na en ondanks de dood. |
