Afrikaans: Plaket geleë in die midde van die Bloedrivierlaer, met 'n inskrif van die Gelofte
DIE GELOFTE "MIJNE BROEDERS EN MEDELANDGENOTEN. HIER STAAN WIJ TANS OP EEN OGENBLIK VOOR EEN HEILIGE GOD VAN HEMEL EN AARDE OM EEN BELOFTE AAN HEM TE BELOOVEN, ALS HIJ MET ZIJN BESCHERMING MET ONS SAL WEZEN, EN ONZE VIJAND IN ONZE HANDEN ZAL GEVEN DAT WIJ HEM OVERWINNEN, DAT WIJ DIE DAG EN DATUM ELKE JAAR ALS EEN VERJAARDAG EN EEN DANKDAG ZOALS EEN SABBAT IN ZIJN EER ZULLEN DOORBRENGEN, EN DAT WIJ EEN TEMPEL TOT ZIJN EER STICHTEN ZULLEN WAAR HET HEM ZOU BEHAGEN, EN DAT WIJ HET OOK AAN ONZEN KINDEREN ZULLEN ZEGGEN DAT ZIJ MET ONS ERIN MOETEN DELEN TOT GEDACHTENIS OOK VOOR ONZE OPKOMENDE GESLACHTEN. WANT DE ERE VAN ZIJN NAAM DAARDOOR ZAL VERHEERLIKT WORDEN, DAT DE ROEM EN EER VAN OVERWINNING AAN HEM SAL WORDEN GEGEVEN." English: Plaque situated roughly in the middle of where the lager stood during the Battle of Blood River with the Vow taken by the Voortrekkers inscribed on it. The English version of the plaque reads as follows:
THE VOW "MY BROTHERS AND FELLOW COUNTRYMEN WE STAND HERE NOW FOR A MOMENT BEFORE A HOLY GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH TO MAKE A PROMISE TO HIM, IF HE WOULD GIVE US HIS PROTECTION AND BE WITH US, AND GIVE OUR ENEMY INTO OUR HANDS SO THAT WE MAY DEFEAT THEM WE SHALL PASS THE DAY AND DATE EACH YEAR AS AN ANNIVERSARY AND A DAY OF THANKSGIVING IN HIS HONOUR LIKE A SABBATH. AND WE PROMISE THAT WE SHALL BUILD A TEMPLE TO HIS HONOUR AS IT SHALL PLEASE HIM, AND THAT WE SHALL TELL THIS OUR CHILDREN SO THAT THEY MAY SHARE IN THIS WITH US TO REMEMBRANCE ALSO FOR OUR RISING GENERATIONS SO THAT THE GLORY OF HIS NAME MAY BE SANCTIFIED THEREBY AND THE GLORY AND HONOUR OF VICTORY SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO HIM." |
