Wedding Ceremony / Trouseremonie
Ek, Sarie Marais | I, Sarah Marais |
neem jou Willem Wikkelspies | take you, William Shakespeare |
as my man | to be my husband |
om sy aan sy met jou die goeie en die moeilike tye te deel. | to share the good times and hard times side by side. |
Nederig gee ek jou my hand | I humbly give you my hand |
en my hart | and my heart |
en plegtig betuig ek my geloof en my liefde aan jou. | as I pledge my faith and love to you. |
Net soos met hierdie ring | Just as this ring |
gee ek jou vandag | I give you today |
'n eindelose liefdeskring; | is a circle without end, |
my liefde vir jou is ewig. | my love for you is eternal. |
Omdat dit gemaak is | Just as it is made |
van onverweerbare materie, | of incorruptible substance, |
sal my verbintenis aan jou nooit faal nie. | my commitment to you will never fail. |
Jy is my metgesel in alle dinge, | You are my partner in all things, |
en alle dinge sal ons van nou af saam deel. | and all things will will share together from this day forth. |
Moet nooit van my versoek om jou te verlaat nie, | Entreat me not to leave you, |
nog om terug te keer van om jou te volg, | or to return from following after you, |
want waar jy ookal gaan, sal ek gaan, | For where you go I will go, |
en waar jy bly, sal ek wees. | and where you stay I will stay. |
Jou mense sal my mense wees, | Your people will be my people, |
en jou God, my God. | and your God will be my God. |
En waar jy sterf, sal ek sterf | And where you die, I will die |
en ook daar begrawe word. | and there I will be buried. |
Mag die Here met my doen | May the Lord do with me |
en selfs meer in enige iets tot die dood jou van my skei. | and more if anything but death parts you from me. |
Met hierdie ring, trou ek met jou. | With this ring, I thee wed. |
