John 12
1 Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
Enam hari sebelum perayaan Paskah, Yesus dan kami murid-murid-Nya kembali lagi ke Betania, yaitu kampung halaman Lazarus, orang yang sudah Yesus hidupkan kembali dari kematian.
2 There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
Warga kampung itu mengadakan jamuan makan malam untuk menghormati Yesus. Marta juga ikut mengatur makanan, sedangkan Lazarus termasuk salah satu dari orang-orang yang duduk makan bersama Yesus.
3 Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
Lalu Maria datang membawa setengah liter minyak wangi dari narwastu murni yang sangat mahal. Dia menuangkannya di kaki Yesus, kemudian menyeka kaki Yesus dengan rambutnya. Bau harum minyak itu memenuhi seluruh rumah.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
Tetapi Yudas anak Simon, yaitu salah satu murid Yesus dari Kariot (yang kelak akan menjual Yesus), mencela perbuatan itu dengan berkata,
5 He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
“Lebih baik Maria menyerahkannya untuk kita jual! Karena minyak itu bisa dijual mahal, dan uangnya bisa kita gunakan untuk membantu orang miskin.”
6 He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
Sebenarnya Yudas berkata begitu bukan karena dia sungguh-sungguh peduli pada orang miskin, tetapi karena dia seorang pencuri. Dia dipercaya sebagai bendahara yang menerima semua uang sumbangan untuk Yesus dan kami, yang disimpan di dalam kantong. Namun dia sering mencuri uang dari kantong itu.
7 Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
Lalu Yesus berkata, “Jangan mencela dia! Tanpa disadari dia sudah melakukan persiapan untuk penguburan-Ku nanti.
8 There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
Orang-orang miskin akan selalu ada di antara kalian, dan kalian punya banyak kesempatan untuk menolong mereka. Tetapi Aku tidak akan selalu ada bersama kalian.”
9 A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
Hari itu banyak orang Yahudi mendengar bahwa Yesus berada di Betania. Jadi mereka pergi ke sana untuk melihat Yesus dan Lazarus yang sudah dihidupkan-Nya dari kematian.
10 So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
Oleh karena itu, para imam kepala mengatur rencana untuk membunuh Lazarus juga,
11 because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
sebab ketika orang-orang mendengar cerita tentang Lazarus, semakin banyaklah yang menjadi percaya kepada Yesus dan mereka tidak lagi berpihak kepada para imam kepala.
12 The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Keesokan harinya, tersebarlah berita bahwa Yesus sedang menuju ke Yerusalem. Jadi masyarakat yang sudah berkumpul untuk mengikuti perayaan Paskah
13 So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
mengambil daun-daun palem dan pergi keluar kota untuk menyambut Yesus. Mereka bersorak-sorak, “Hosana! Pujilah Allah! Biarlah Allah memberkati raja Israel yang baru ini! Raja inilah yang datang mewakili TUHAN!”
14 When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
Waktu itu Yesus mendapati seekor keledai muda, lalu Dia naik ke atas keledai itu. Hal ini terjadi sesuai dengan yang sudah tertulis dalam Firman TUHAN,
15 You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
“Penduduk Yerusalem, jangan takut! Lihatlah! Raja kalian sedang datang dengan menunggangi seekor keledai muda.”
16 At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
Waktu peristiwa itu terjadi, kami para murid-Nya tidak mengerti bahwa Firman tersebut adalah tentang Kristus. Tetapi sesudah Yesus dimuliakan melalui kematian dan kenaikan-Nya ke surga, barulah kami mengerti bahwa kami sudah menjalani semua kejadian itu sesuai perkataan nabi tentang Dia.
17 The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
Pada hari itu, ramai sekali orang yang pergi menyambut Yesus karena sewaktu Yesus menghidupkan Lazarus dengan memanggil dia keluar dari kuburnya, banyak orang menjadi saksi mata peristiwa tersebut. Mereka terus menceritakan keajaiban itu ke sana kemari.
18 Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
19 So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
Waktu orang-orang Farisi melihat keramaian itu, mereka berkata satu sama lain, “Lihat! Segala yang kita lakukan sama sekali tidak berhasil. Semua orang sudah mengikuti orang itu!”
20 Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
Di antara kerumunan yang datang beribadah ke Yerusalem pada Hari Raya Paskah, ada juga beberapa orang yang bukan Yahudi.
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
Mereka datang kepada Filipus dan berkata kepadanya, “Pak, kami ingin bertemu Yesus.” (Filipus berasal dari kota Betsaida di Galilea.)
22 So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
Dia pergi menyampaikan permohonan mereka kepada Andreas. Lalu Andreas dan Filipus menyampaikannya kepada Yesus.
23 Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
Kemudian Yesus berkata kepada mereka yang bukan Yahudi itu, “Sudah tiba waktunya Aku, Sang Anak Adam, menjalani kehendak Allah Bapa dan dimuliakan oleh-Nya.
24 Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
Aku menegaskan kepadamu bahwa perkataan-Ku ini benar: Apa yang segera terjadi pada-Ku dapat digambarkan seperti sebutir biji gandum. Untuk menghasilkan banyak gandum, biji itu harus ditanam dan mati, baru bisa tumbuh dan menghasilkan banyak bulir. Kalau tidak demikian, biji itu akan tetap satu biji saja.
25 Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Begitu juga, orang yang ingin mempertahankan hidupnya di dunia ini akan kehilangan hidupnya. Tetapi orang yang rela menyerahkan hidupnya akan memiliki hidup yang kekal. (aiōnios g166)
26 If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
Setiap orang yang mau melayani Aku hendaklah ikut ke mana saja Aku pergi, supaya mereka tetap bersama-Ku. Bapa-Ku akan menghargai setiap orang yang melayani Aku.”
27 Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
“Sekarang hati-Ku sangat sedih. Apa yang sebaiknya Aku katakan dalam doa-Ku? Sebetulnya bisa saja Aku meminta, ‘Ya Bapa, selamatkanlah Aku sekarang dari penderitaan ini!’ Tetapi Aku tidak dapat memohon seperti itu, karena justru untuk mengalami penderitaan inilah Aku datang ke dalam dunia.
28 My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
Jadi Aku hanya berdoa, ‘Bapa, biarlah nama-Mu dimuliakan melalui apa yang terjadi atas diri-Ku!’” Begitu Yesus selesai berkata demikian, suatu suara yang keras membahana dari langit, dan kami semua mendengarnya. Sebagian orang mengatakan, “Itu bunyi guntur.” Ada juga yang berkata, “Bukan. Itu suara malaikat yang berbicara kepada Yesus.” Tetapi sebenarnya itulah suara Bapa dari surga yang berkata, “Aku sudah memuliakan nama-Ku melalui Engkau, dan Aku akan melakukannya lagi!”
29 The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
Lalu Yesus berkata kepada kami semua, “Suara itu terdengar bukan untuk Aku, tetapi untuk kalian, supaya kalian percaya kepada-Ku.
31 Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
Sekarang sudah tiba waktunya orang-orang duniawi menyadari bahwa pengadilan terakhir pasti terjadi dan mereka akan dihakimi. Dan sekarang juga penguasa dunia, yaitu iblis, akan dijatuhkan dan kuasanya dihancurkan.
32 But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
Lalu Aku, Sang Anak Adam, akan diangkat dan digantung tinggi di atas tanah. Ketika hal itu terjadi, Aku akan membuka jalan supaya setiap orang bisa datang kepada-Ku.”
33 He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
Yesus berkata seperti itu untuk memberitahukan bagaimana caranya Dia akan mati.
34 [Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
Lalu dari antara orang banyak itu ada yang berkata kepada-Nya, “Kami sudah membaca di dalam Firman TUHAN bahwa Kristus akan hidup selama-lamanya. Jadi kenapa engkau mengatakan bahwa sang anak Adam harus diangkat dan digantungkan? Engkau memakai gelar ‘sang anak Adam’ dengan maksud apa?” (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
Kata Yesus kepada mereka, “Hanya tinggal sebentar lagi terang ada bersama kalian di dunia ini. Jadi hendaklah kalian menggunakan waktu yang ada selagi terang itu bersama kalian, supaya ketika kegelapan datang, kegelapan itu tidak akan menguasai kalian. Karena orang yang berjalan dalam kegelapan tidak tahu ke mana dia pergi.
36 Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
Selama Aku masih bersama kalian, percayalah kepada-Ku yang adalah terang itu. Dengan demikian terang itu akan memenuhi hidup kalian, dan kalian tidak akan tersesat karena dikuasai oleh kegelapan.” Sesudah berkata begitu, Yesus berangkat bersama kami murid-murid-Nya dan pergi ke tempat yang tidak diketahui oleh orang banyak itu.
37 Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
Walaupun orang Yahudi sudah menyaksikan begitu banyak keajaiban yang Yesus lakukan, mereka tetap tidak percaya kepada-Nya.
38 [Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
Dengan demikian tepatlah perkataan Nabi Yesaya saat dia berkeluh kesah kepada Allah, “Ya Allah, ketika aku menyampaikan berita dari Engkau hampir tidak ada yang percaya! Dan ketika Engkau mengulurkan tangan-Mu yang penuh kuasa untuk melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban, mereka seperti buta!”
39 That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
Itulah sebabnya mereka tidak bisa percaya: Karena Yesaya juga sudah berkata seperti ini,
40 They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
“Allah sudah membuat mata mereka menjadi buta, sehingga mereka tidak bisa melihat, dan juga menutup pikiran mereka, sehingga mereka tidak bisa mengerti. Dengan demikian mereka tidak bisa berbalik kepada-Nya. Tetapi kalau mereka kembali, Allah sudah berjanji, ‘Aku akan tetap menyembuhkan mereka.’”
41 Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
Yesaya berkata seperti itu jauh sebelum Yesus datang ke dalam dunia ini, ketika dia diberi kesempatan untuk melihat kemuliaan Kristus. Kemudian Yesaya menyatakan dalam nubuatannya bahwa seperti itulah nanti kehidupan Yesus.
42 Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
Pada waktu itu, sebenarnya sudah cukup banyak orang yang percaya kepada Yesus, termasuk para pemimpin Yahudi. Namun karena takut kepada kelompok Farisi, mereka tidak mau mengakuinya secara terus terang, sebab mereka takut diusir dan dilarang masuk ke rumah-rumah pertemuan orang Yahudi.
43 They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
Mereka lebih suka menyenangkan hati manusia daripada menyenangkan hati Allah.
44 [Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
Yesus pernah berseru kepada orang banyak, “Setiap orang yang percaya kepada-Ku bukan hanya percaya kepada-Ku, tetapi juga kepada Dia yang sudah mengutus Aku ke dunia ini.
45 When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
Orang yang melihat Aku, berarti sudah melihat Dia yang mengutus Aku.
46 I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
Aku sudah datang ke dalam dunia ini sebagai terang, supaya setiap orang yang percaya kepada-Ku tidak lagi tinggal dalam kegelapan.
47 As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
“Tetapi apabila orang menolak ajaran-Ku dan tidak percaya kepada-Ku, bukan Aku yang akan menghukum mereka. Sebab Aku datang ke dunia ini bukan untuk menjatuhkan hukuman kepada manusia, tetapi untuk membebaskan mereka dari hukuman atas dosa-dosa mereka.
48 There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
Ingatlah: Pada hari terakhir, siapa saja yang menolak Aku dan ajaran-ajaran-Ku akan dihukum Allah. Ajaran-Ku akan menjadi tolok ukur bagi mereka!
49 I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
Karena ajaran-Ku bukan berasal dari diri-Ku sendiri, tetapi dari Bapa yang mengutus Aku. Dialah yang memberi tugas kepada-Ku untuk menyampaikan ajaran ini.
50 I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
Dan Aku tahu bahwa ajaran-Nya itu memberi hidup yang kekal. Itulah sebabnya Aku selalu mengajar sesuai dengan apa yang sudah disampaikan Bapa kepada-Ku.” (aiōnios g166)
