John 10
1 [Jesus continued by saying to us], “Listen carefully to what I say. Anyone who does not enter [the sheep pen] through the gate, if he climbs in some other way, he is a thief or a bandit.
Lalu Yesus berkata kepada mereka semua yang ada di situ, “Aku menegaskan kepadamu bahwa perkataan-Ku ini benar: Setiap orang yang mau masuk ke dalam kandang domba harus melewati pintu. Kalau dia masuk dengan memanjat pagar malam hari, tentulah dia seorang perampok atau pencuri domba.
2 The man who enters [the pen] through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
Tetapi gembala domba pasti masuk melalui pintu.
3 The man who watches the gate at [night] opens the gate for him. The sheep recognize the shepherd’s voice. He summons his own sheep by [calling out] the names [he has given] them. Then he leads them outside [the pen].
Lalu penjaga kandang akan membuka pintu baginya. Dan ketika gembala itu memanggil nama setiap dombanya, domba-domba itu akan mengenal suaranya dan mengikutinya ketika dia menuntun domba-dombanya keluar.
4 After he has brought out all his own [sheep], he goes in front of them. His sheep follow him because they recognize [and pay attention to] his voice.
Ketika dia mengeluarkan domba-domba itu, dia selalu berjalan di depan. Domba-dombanya mengikuti dia, karena mereka mengenal suaranya.
5 But they will never follow a stranger. Instead, they will run away from him, because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
Tetapi domba-domba itu tidak akan mengikuti orang lain, bahkan akan lari dari orang itu karena tidak mengenal suaranya.”
6 Jesus said that [MET] [to illustrate the difference between himself and the Pharisees, who were deceiving the people]. But they did not understand what he was telling them.
Sesudah Yesus menceritakan kiasan itu, kami semua yang mendengarkan Dia tidak mengerti apa maksudnya.
7 So Jesus spoke to them again. He said, “Listen carefully to what I am saying. I am [like] [MET] a gate for the sheep [to enter the sheepfold, because I am the one who allows people to enter God’s presence].
Jadi, Yesus berkata lagi, “Aku menegaskan kepadamu bahwa perkataan-Ku ini benar: Akulah pintu masuk ke kandang domba.
8 All of [your religious leaders] who have come previously [without my authority] are [like] [MET] thieves and bandits [because they act violently and dishonestly for their own benefit]. But [just like] sheep do not [obey strangers, God’s people do not] pay attention to them.
Setiap orang yang datang sebelum Aku dan mengaku sebagai gembala, mereka adalah pencuri dan perampok. Tetapi domba-domba itu tidak mengikuti mereka.
9 I am [like] a gate. Those will be saved {[God] will save all those} who come [to God] by [trusting in] me. [Just like sheep] go in and out [through the gate safely] to find pasture [MET], [I will provide for them and protect them].
Ya, Akulah pintu. Setiap orang yang masuk melalui Aku akan selamat. Dan Aku akan menjaga mereka supaya bisa keluar masuk kandang dengan aman serta mendapat makanan.
10 Thieves come [to a sheep pen] only to steal or kill or destroy [sheep] [MET]. [Similarly, your religious leaders injure God’s people spiritually]. But I have come in order that people may have [eternal/spiritual] life, and that they may have abundantly [all they need to sustain them spiritually].
Pencuri datang hanya untuk mencuri, membunuh, dan membinasakan. Tetapi Aku sudah datang ke dunia ini untuk memberi hidup, yaitu hidup yang penuh berkat.
11 I am [like] a good shepherd. A good shepherd [is willing to] die to save the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, I am ready to sacrifice myself to save those who belong to me].
“Akulah gembala yang setia. Seorang gembala yang setia akan menyerahkan nyawanya untuk menyelamatkan domba-dombanya.
12 A worker whom someone has hired [to look after the sheep] is not [like] the shepherd or the one who owns the sheep. So when he sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock of sheep and [seizes one sheep and] causes [the others] to scatter.
Tetapi pekerja upahan tidak akan mau berkorban seperti gembala pemilik domba-domba itu. Ketika seorang pekerja melihat serigala datang, dia akan kabur meninggalkan domba-dombanya. Lalu serigala akan menangkap salah satu domba, dan yang lain akan lari tercerai-berai.
13 The worker runs away because he is [only] a man whom someone has hired. He is not [really] concerned about [what happens to] the sheep [MET]. [Similarly, your religious teachers do not really care what happens to you].
Pekerja itu kabur karena dia hanya bekerja sebagai seorang upahan dan tidak peduli pada domba-domba itu.
14 I am [like] a good shepherd. [Just like a good shepherd knows his] sheep [MET], I know those who belong to me, and they know me
“Namun Aku adalah gembala yang setia. Aku menyerahkan nyawa-Ku untuk menyelamatkan domba-domba-Ku. Sama seperti Bapa-Ku sangat mengenal Aku, begitu juga Aku mengenal domba-domba-Ku. Dan sama seperti Aku sangat mengenal Bapa, begitu pula domba-domba-Ku mengenal Aku.
15 in the same way as [my] Father knows me and I know [my] Father. Furthermore, I am [ready to] sacrifice myself for [those who belong to me].
16 And I have other people [who are not Jews] who [will some day] belong to me. They will be [like] [MET] sheep from another sheep pen. I must bring them [to God/myself] also. They will pay attention to what I say, and eventually [all those who belong to me] will be [like] one flock, and [I] will be [like] [MET] their one shepherd.
Aku juga mempunyai domba-domba lain yang belum tergabung ke dalam kawanan ini. Jadi Aku akan memanggil mereka, dan mereka akan mengikuti suara-Ku. Aku akan memimpin seluruh domba-Ku supaya semuanya bergabung menjadi satu kawanan besar dengan satu gembala, yaitu Aku.
17 The reason [my] Father loves me is that I will sacrifice my life. But [after I do that], I will become alive again.
Itulah sebabnya Bapa mengasihi Aku: Karena Aku sudah bersedia menyerahkan nyawa-Ku untuk menyelamatkan mereka. Tetapi setelah mati, Aku akan hidup lagi.
18 No one is causing me to die. Instead, I [have chosen to] sacrifice myself. I have authority to sacrifice myself and I have authority to become alive again. That is what my Father has commanded me to do.”
Kematian-Ku bukan karena siapa-siapa. Sebaliknya, Aku sendiri yang menyerahkan nyawa-Ku. Sebab hanya Aku sendiri yang berhak atas nyawa-Ku, baik untuk menentukan waktu kematian-Ku maupun waktu Aku hidup kembali. Ini semua sesuai dengan perintah Bapa kepada-Ku.”
19 After hearing these words [that Jesus said], the Jews were divided again.
Ketika orang Yahudi mendengar Yesus mengajar seperti itu, mereka mulai bertengkar satu sama lain.
20 Many of them said, “A demon is [controlling] him and has caused him to become crazy. (It is useless to listen to him!/Why should we listen to him?) [RHQ]”
Banyak di antara mereka yang mengatakan, “Dia gila karena dikuasai setan. Tidak usah dengarkan dia!”
21 But others said, “What he is saying is not something a man whom a demon is controlling would say. (No demon could enable a blind man to see [like he did!/] How could a demon enable a blind man to see [like he did]?) [RHQ]”
Tetapi yang lain berkata, “Apa yang baru saja dia katakan itu bukan seperti perkataan orang yang dikuasai setan! Orang yang dikuasai setan tidak mungkin menyembuhkan mata orang buta.”
22 Then it was time for the celebration [to remember when our ancestors] rededicated [the Temple in Jerusalem]. It was in winter.
Tidak lama kemudian Yesus berada di Yerusalem pada waktu perayaan untuk memperingati peresmian rumah Allah. Waktu itu musim dingin,
23 Jesus was in the Temple [courtyard], walking in [the place that people called King] Solomon’s porch.
dan Yesus sedang berjalan-jalan di Teras Salomo di rumah Allah.
24 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] gathered around him and said, “How long will you keep us from knowing for sure [if you are the Messiah]? If you are the Messiah, tell us clearly!”
Kemudian para pemimpin Yahudi datang berkumpul mengelilingi Yesus dan berkata kepada-Nya, “Sudah begitu lama kami menunggu kamu berterus terang tentang siapa dirimu sebenarnya! Kalau kamu memang Kristus, katakanlah!”
25 Jesus answered them, “I have told you [that I am the Messiah], but you do not believe me! You should know who I am because of the miracles I do with my Father’s authority [MTY].
Lalu jawab-Nya, “Aku sudah memberitahukan, tetapi kalian tidak percaya. Aku sudah melakukan banyak keajaiban dalam nama Bapa-Ku. Semuanya itu membuktikan jabatan-Ku.
26 But instead, you do not believe in me because you do not belong to [me. You are like] [MET] sheep [who belong to a different shepherd].
Tetapi kalian tidak percaya karena kalian bukan domba-domba-Ku.
27 [Just like sheep] heed the voice [of their true shepherd] [MET], my [people pay attention to what I say]. I know them, and they have become my disciples.
Domba-domba-Ku pasti mendengarkan suara-Ku. Aku mengenal mereka, dan mereka selalu mengikut Aku.
29 [Those] that my Father has given to me are more precious than anything else (OR, My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anything that opposes them). So no one can pull them away from belonging to him [MTY].
Yang sudah memberikan domba-domba itu kepada-Ku adalah Bapa-Ku. Dia lebih berkuasa dari semua yang ada, dan tiada yang dapat merampas mereka dari tangan Kami.
30 [My] father and I are equal.”
Bapa dan Aku adalah satu.”
31 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again picked up stones to throw at Jesus [and kill him because they were angry at his saying that he was equal with God].
Mendengar perkataan itu, sekali lagi para pemimpin Yahudi mengambil batu dan mau melempari Yesus sampai mati.
32 But Jesus said to them, “You have seen me perform many miracles that my Father [told me to do. You should realize from seeing them that I am equal with God]. So, because of which of these miracles [IRO] are you wanting to [kill me by] throwing stones at me?”
Tetapi Dia berkata kepada mereka, “Sesuai perintah Bapa-Ku, Aku sudah mengerjakan banyak keajaiban yang membawa kebaikan di tengah-tengah kalian. Apakah ada keajaiban yang salah, sehingga kalian hendak melempari Aku dengan batu?”
33 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “We are [wanting to] throw stones at you not because you performed a great miracle. Instead, [we are wanting to do it] because you are dishonoring God. You are just a man, but you are saying that you are God!”
Jawab mereka, “Bukan! Kami mau membunuhmu bukan karena keajaiban yang kamu lakukan, tetapi karena kamu menghina Allah! Kamu itu manusia biasa, tetapi kamu menyamakan dirimu dengan Allah.”
34 Jesus replied to them, “In the Scriptures it is written {([someone/the Psalmist]) has written} [RHQ] [what God said to the rulers whom he had appointed], ‘I have said that you are [like] gods.’
Lalu Yesus menjawab, “Kalian sudah tahu bahwa dalam Firman-Nya Allah berkata, ‘Kalian semua adalah anak-anak Allah Yang Mahabesar, dan bersifat seperti Dia.’
35 God said that [to those leaders when he appointed them. No one objected to that]. And nothing that is in Scripture can be set aside {no one can set aside anything that is in Scripture}.
Tentu Firman TUHAN selalu benar. Jadi kalau Allah sendiri menyebut orang-orang itu anak-anak-Nya, yaitu mereka yang sudah menerima Firman Allah,
36 But I am the one [my] Father set apart to completely belong to him. He sent me here into this world. So (why are you angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the man who is also God?/you should not be angry with me for saying that [I am equal with God when I say] that I am the person who is both God and man!) [RHQ]
maka janganlah kalian berpikir bahwa Aku menghina Allah karena Aku berkata, ‘Aku adalah Anak Allah.’ Dialah yang mengkhususkan dan mengutus Aku ke dalam dunia ini.
37 If I were not doing the miracles that my Father [told me to do, I would not expect] you to believe in me.
Kalau Aku tidak melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban yang memuliakan Bapa-Ku, kalian tidak usah mempercayai ajaran-Ku.
38 But because I perform these miracles, believe [what] these miracles [show about me], even though you do not believe what I [say]. If you do that, then you will know and understand that [my] Father has a close relationship with me, and I have a close relationship with [my] Father.”
Tetapi kalau Aku memang melakukan banyak keajaiban yang memuliakan Bapa-Ku, dan kalian tetap tidak mau percaya kepada-Ku, setidaknya percayalah bahwa hal-hal yang Aku lakukan itu berasal dari Bapa. Dengan begitu kalian akan tahu dan mengerti bahwa Bapa sudah bersatu dengan Aku, dan Aku bersatu dengan Dia.”
39 After they heard that, they tried to seize him again, but he got away from them.
Sekali lagi mereka mencoba menangkap Yesus, tetapi ada sesuatu yang menghalangi orang-orang itu sehingga Dia terlepas dari tangan mereka.
40 Then Jesus went, along [with us], back across [to the east side of] the Jordan [River]. We went to the place where John was previously baptizing [people]. He/We stayed there [for a few weeks].
Kemudian Yesus pergi ke seberang sungai Yordan tempat Yohanes dulu membaptis orang, lalu tinggal di sana.
41 Many people came to Jesus. They were saying, “John never performed a miracle, [but this man has performed many miracles]! Everything that John said about this man is true!”
Banyak orang berdatangan kepada-Nya. Mereka berkata, “Yohanes memang tidak pernah melakukan satu pun keajaiban, tetapi semua yang dia katakan tentang Yesus adalah benar.”
42 Many people [who came] there believed ([that Jesus was the Messiah/that Jesus truly had come from God]).
Dan di situ banyak orang menjadi percaya bahwa Yesus adalah Kristus.
