< Matthew 14 >

1 In that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
Pada masa itu sampailah berita-berita tentang Yesus kepada Herodes, raja wilayah.
2 And he said to his servants: “This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why miracles are at work in him.”
Lalu ia berkata kepada pegawai-pegawainya: "Inilah Yohanes Pembaptis; ia sudah bangkit dari antara orang mati dan itulah sebabnya kuasa-kuasa itu bekerja di dalam-Nya."
3 For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.
Sebab memang Herodes telah menyuruh menangkap Yohanes, membelenggunya dan memenjarakannya, berhubung dengan peristiwa Herodias, isteri Filipus saudaranya.
4 For John was telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
Karena Yohanes pernah menegornya, katanya: "Tidak halal engkau mengambil Herodias!"
5 And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.
Herodes ingin membunuhnya, tetapi ia takut akan orang banyak yang memandang Yohanes sebagai nabi.
6 Then, on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst, and it pleased Herod.
Tetapi pada hari ulang tahun Herodes, menarilah anak perempuan Herodias di tengah-tengah mereka dan menyukakan hati Herodes,
7 And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.
sehingga Herodes bersumpah akan memberikan kepadanya apa saja yang dimintanya.
8 But, having been advised by her mother, she said, “Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”
Maka setelah dihasut oleh ibunya, anak perempuan itu berkata: "Berikanlah aku di sini kepala Yohanes Pembaptis di sebuah talam."
9 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given.
Lalu sedihlah hati raja, tetapi karena sumpahnya dan karena tamu-tamunya diperintahkannya juga untuk memberikannya.
10 And he sent and beheaded John in prison.
Disuruhnya memenggal kepala Yohanes di penjara
11 And his head was brought on a platter, and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
dan kepala Yohanes itupun dibawa orang di sebuah talam, lalu diberikan kepada gadis itu dan ia membawanya kepada ibunya.
12 And his disciples approached and took the body, and they buried it. And arriving, they reported it to Jesus.
Kemudian datanglah murid-murid Yohanes Pembaptis mengambil mayatnya dan menguburkannya. Lalu pergilah mereka memberitahukannya kepada Yesus.
13 When Jesus had heard it, he withdrew from there by boat, to a deserted place by himself. And when the crowds had heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
Setelah Yesus mendengar berita itu menyingkirlah Ia dari situ, dan hendak mengasingkan diri dengan perahu ke tempat yang sunyi. Tetapi orang banyak mendengarnya dan mengikuti Dia dengan mengambil jalan darat dari kota-kota mereka.
14 And going out, he saw a great multitude, and he took pity on them, and he cured their sick.
Ketika Yesus mendarat, Ia melihat orang banyak yang besar jumlahnya, maka tergeraklah hati-Nya oleh belas kasihan kepada mereka dan Ia menyembuhkan mereka yang sakit.
15 And when evening had arrived, his disciples approached him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour has now passed. Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the towns, they may buy food for themselves.”
Menjelang malam, murid-murid-Nya datang kepada-Nya dan berkata: "Tempat ini sunyi dan hari sudah mulai malam. Suruhlah orang banyak itu pergi supaya mereka dapat membeli makanan di desa-desa."
16 But Jesus said to them: “They have no need to go. Give them something to eat yourselves.”
Tetapi Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak perlu mereka pergi, kamu harus memberi mereka makan."
17 They answered him, “We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish.”
Jawab mereka: "Yang ada pada kami di sini hanya lima roti dan dua ikan."
18 He said to them, “Bring them here to me.”
Yesus berkata: "Bawalah ke mari kepada-Ku."
19 And when he had ordered the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish, and gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke and gave the bread to the disciples, and then the disciples to the multitudes.
Lalu disuruh-Nya orang banyak itu duduk di rumput. Dan setelah diambil-Nya lima roti dan dua ikan itu, Yesus menengadah ke langit dan mengucap berkat, lalu memecah-mecahkan roti itu dan memberikannya kepada murid-murid-Nya, lalu murid-murid-Nya membagi-bagikannya kepada orang banyak.
20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the remnants: twelve baskets full of fragments.
Dan mereka semuanya makan sampai kenyang. Kemudian orang mengumpulkan potongan-potongan roti yang sisa, dua belas bakul penuh.
21 Now the number of those who ate was five thousand men, besides women and children.
Yang ikut makan kira-kira lima ribu laki-laki, tidak termasuk perempuan dan anak-anak.
22 And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.
Sesudah itu Yesus segera memerintahkan murid-murid-Nya naik ke perahu dan mendahului-Nya ke seberang, sementara itu Ia menyuruh orang banyak pulang.
23 And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.
Dan setelah orang banyak itu disuruh-Nya pulang, Yesus naik ke atas bukit untuk berdoa seorang diri. Ketika hari sudah malam, Ia sendirian di situ.
24 But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.
Perahu murid-murid-Nya sudah beberapa mil jauhnya dari pantai dan diombang-ambingkan gelombang, karena angin sakal.
25 Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.
Kira-kira jam tiga malam datanglah Yesus kepada mereka berjalan di atas air.
26 And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear.
Ketika murid-murid-Nya melihat Dia berjalan di atas air, mereka terkejut dan berseru: "Itu hantu!", lalu berteriak-teriak karena takut.
27 And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
Tetapi segera Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tenanglah! Aku ini, jangan takut!"
28 Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you over the waters.”
Lalu Petrus berseru dan menjawab Dia: "Tuhan, apabila Engkau itu, suruhlah aku datang kepada-Mu berjalan di atas air."
29 And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.
Kata Yesus: "Datanglah!" Maka Petrus turun dari perahu dan berjalan di atas air mendapatkan Yesus.
30 Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me.”
Tetapi ketika dirasanya tiupan angin, takutlah ia dan mulai tenggelam lalu berteriak: "Tuhan, tolonglah aku!"
31 And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?”
Segera Yesus mengulurkan tangan-Nya, memegang dia dan berkata: "Hai orang yang kurang percaya, mengapa engkau bimbang?"
32 And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.
Lalu mereka naik ke perahu dan anginpun redalah.
33 Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.”
Dan orang-orang yang ada di perahu menyembah Dia, katanya: "Sesungguhnya Engkau Anak Allah."
34 And having crossed the sea, they arrived in the land of Genesaret.
Setibanya di seberang mereka mendarat di Genesaret.
35 And when the men of that place had recognized him, they sent into all that region, and they brought to him all who had maladies.
Ketika Yesus dikenal oleh orang-orang di tempat itu, mereka memberitahukannya ke seluruh daerah itu. Maka semua orang yang sakit dibawa kepada-Nya.
36 And they petitioned him, so that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.
Mereka memohon supaya diperkenankan menjamah jumbai jubah-Nya. Dan semua orang yang menjamah-Nya menjadi sembuh.
