John 4
1 [At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
Yesus tahu orang Farisi sudah mendengar bahwa Dia mendapatkan dan membaptis lebih banyak pengikut daripada Yohanes, meskipun sebenarnya bukan Tuhan Yesus yang membaptis, tetapi kami murid-murid-Nya.
3 When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
Jadi Dia bersama kami meninggalkan provinsi Yudea dan kembali ke provinsi Galilea.
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
Dalam perjalanan ke sana Dia harus melewati daerah Samaria.
5 So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
Sewaktu di Samaria, Yesus dan kami sampai di sebuah kampung bernama Sikar, dekat dengan tanah yang dulu diberikan Yakub kepada Yusuf, anaknya.
6 The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
Di tanah itulah terletak sumur Yakub. Karena perjalanan jauh, Yesus merasa sangat lelah lalu duduk di pinggir sumur itu. Saat itu kira-kira tengah hari.
Kemudian datanglah seorang perempuan Samaria ke sumur itu untuk menimba air. Yesus berkata kepadanya, “Tolong beri saya air untuk diminum.”
Waktu hal itu terjadi, kami sudah pergi ke kampung Sikar untuk membeli makanan.
9 so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
Lalu perempuan itu berkata kepada-Nya, “Saya heran! Bagaimana mungkin Bapak, seorang Yahudi, minta air minum kepada saya, seorang Samaria!” Dia berkata begitu karena orang Yahudi menganggap orang Samaria najis.
10 Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
Lalu Yesus menjawab, “Seandainya Ibu tahu hadiah apa yang hendak Allah berikan kepada Ibu, dan seandainya Ibu tahu siapa saya ini yang sedang meminta minum dari Ibu, pastilah Ibu yang akan lebih dulu minta air hidup dari saya. Dan saya bersedia memberikannya kepada Ibu.”
11 She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
Kata perempuan itu, “Bapak tidak punya timba dan sumur ini sangat dalam. Bagaimana mungkin Bapak bisa memberikan air hidup itu kepada saya?
12 Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
Yakub, nenek moyang kita yang memberikan sumur ini kepada kami. Dulu dia dan anak-anaknya serta semua ternaknya minum dari air sumur ini. Apakah Bapak lebih besar daripada Yakub, sehingga merasa bisa memberikan air yang lebih baik?”
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
Lalu Yesus menjawab, “Setiap orang yang minum air dari sumur ini akan haus lagi.
15 The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
Kata perempuan itu, “Bapak, berikanlah air itu untuk saya, supaya saya tidak haus lagi dan tidak usah kembali menimba air di sini!”
16 [Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
Yesus berkata kepadanya, “Pergilah, panggillah suamimu dan kembalilah bersama dia ke sini.”
17 She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
Jawab perempuan itu, “Tetapi saya tidak punya suami.” Lalu Yesus berkata kepadanya, “Apa yang kamu katakan tepat sekali. Kamu tidak mempunyai suami,
18 It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
karena kamu sudah lima kali kawin cerai dengan laki-laki yang berbeda. Dan laki-laki yang hidup bersamamu sekarang bukanlah suamimu. Ya, perkataanmu itu memang benar.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
Kata perempuan itu kepada Yesus, “Sekarang saya sadar bahwa Bapak seorang nabi.
20 But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
Nenek moyang kami selalu menyembah Allah di atas gunung yang di sana itu, tetapi kalian orang Yahudi mengatakan bahwa satu-satunya tempat yang benar untuk menyembah adalah Yerusalem. Manakah yang benar?”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
Yesus menjawabnya, “Ibu, percayalah pada perkataan-Ku ini: Di kemudian hari kalian boleh menyembah Allah Bapa di mana saja dan tidak usah lagi naik ke gunung itu atau pergi ke Yerusalem.
22 You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
Kalian orang Samaria memang menyembah Allah, tetapi tidak mengenal Dia. Sedangkan kami orang Yahudi menyembah Allah yang sudah kami kenal. Karena Allah sudah berjanji bahwa keselamatan akan diberikan kepada manusia melalui orang Yahudi.
23 However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
Tetapi waktunya akan datang dan sebenarnya sudah tiba sekarang, yakni waktu di mana setiap orang yang benar-benar mau menyembah Allah akan menyembah-Nya melalui persatuan dengan Roh Kudus dan sesuai dengan ajaran benar dari Allah. Karena Allah menginginkan orang-orang yang seperti itu untuk menyembah Dia.
24 God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
Allah adalah Roh. Oleh sebab itu setiap orang yang mau menyembah Dia harus menyembah-Nya melalui persatuan dengan Roh Kudus dan sesuai dengan ajaran benar dari Allah.”
25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
Lalu perempuan itu berkata kepada Yesus, “Saya tahu bahwa Mesias akan datang nanti. Waktu dia datang, dia akan memberitahukan semua kehendak Allah kepada kami.” (‘Mesias’ dalam bahasa Ibrani artinya ‘Kristus.’)
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
Kata Yesus kepadanya, “Aku, yang sedang berbicara denganmu ini, adalah Mesias.”
27 Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
Pada saat itu, kami murid-murid-Nya sudah kembali dan sampai di sumur itu. Kami heran melihat Yesus sedang berbicara dengan seorang perempuan. Tetapi tidak satu pun dari kami yang berani bertanya kepada perempuan itu, “Ibu cari apa?” Dan tidak ada yang berani bertanya kepada Yesus, “Kenapa Guru bicara dengan dia?”
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
Lalu perempuan itu meninggalkan tempat airnya di pinggir sumur dan kembali ke kampung untuk memberitakan,
29 “Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
“Ayo lihat! Di sana ada seseorang yang sudah mengetahui dan mengatakan tentang semua yang pernah saya lakukan! Mungkinkah dia itu Kristus?!”
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
Jadi orang-orang kampung itu pun keluar dan mendatangi Yesus.
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
Tetapi sebelum mereka tiba, kami mengajak Yesus makan dengan berkata, “Guru, mari kita makan!”
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
Tetapi Dia menjawab, “Aku mempunyai makanan yang kalian belum ketahui.”
33 So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
Karena itu kami bertanya-tanya satu sama lain, “Apa mungkin tadi seseorang datang membawa makanan untuk Dia?”
34 Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
Lalu Yesus berkata kepada kami, “Makanan-Ku adalah melakukan kehendak Bapa yang mengutus Aku ke dunia ini, yaitu menyelesaikan tugas yang Dia berikan kepada-Ku.
35 [At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
Kalian tahu pepatahnya, ‘Empat bulan sesudah menanam, tibalah waktu panen.’ Tetapi Aku berkata kepada kalian, lihatlah ladang-ladang di sekitar kita. Sebenarnya gandum ini sudah siap dipanen.
36 [If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
Aku sudah menyuruh orang-orang menanam gandum yang ada sekarang. Maksud-Ku, gandum adalah gambaran dari jiwa-jiwa yang sedang diselamatkan, dan orang yang memanen adalah gambaran dari kita yang bekerja supaya orang lain bisa masuk ke dalam hidup yang kekal. Semua orang yang ikut memanen gandum ini akan menerima upah yang bertahan untuk selama-lamanya. Jadi akhirnya, mereka yang dulu menanam gandum ini akan bergembira bersama-sama dengan kita yang sekarang sedang memanen. (aiōnios g166)
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
Jadi, benarlah kata pepatah ini: ‘Ada yang bertugas menanam, dan ada yang bertugas untuk panen.’
38 I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
Aku menyuruh kalian untuk memanen hasil ladang-Ku, di tempat dulu Aku tugaskan orang lain untuk menanam. Sekarang kalian hanya tinggal memanen hasil usaha mereka.”
39 Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
Akhirnya, banyak orang Samaria dari kampung itu percaya kepada Yesus karena mereka mendengar kesaksian perempuan tadi yang berkata, “Yesus memberitahukan kepada saya tentang semua hal yang pernah saya lakukan!”
40 So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
Waktu orang-orang Samaria itu sampai kepada Yesus, mereka meminta Dia tinggal bersama mereka. Yesus setuju, dan kami pun tinggal di sana selama dua hari.
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
Lalu semakin banyak lagi orang-orang kampung itu yang menjadi percaya karena mereka sendiri mendengar ajaran-Nya.
42 They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
Dan mereka berkata kepada perempuan itu, “Memang sebelumnya kami percaya kepada Yesus karena apa yang kamu katakan. Tetapi sekarang kami percaya karena kami sudah mendengar sendiri ajaran-Nya. Sekarang kami tahu pasti bahwa Dia ini sungguh Kristus, Raja Penyelamat manusia.”
43 Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
Sesudah dua hari di Sikar, Yesus bersama kami murid-murid-Nya berangkat ke provinsi Galilea.
Dia sendiri pernah mengajarkan bahwa seorang nabi jarang dihormati di daerahnya sendiri.
45 However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
Tetapi waktu Dia tiba, orang Galilea menyambut-Nya dengan baik karena mereka juga hadir pada perayaan Paskah di Yerusalem dan melihat sendiri semua yang Dia lakukan di sana.
46 Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
Ketika berada di Galilea, Yesus kembali lagi ke desa Kana di mana Dia pernah mengubah air menjadi anggur. Desa itu tidak jauh dari kota Kapernaum. Ada seorang pejabat pemerintah yang tinggal di Kapernaum, dan pada waktu itu anak laki-lakinya sedang sakit,
47 When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
bahkan hampir mati. Jadi waktu pejabat itu mendengar bahwa Yesus sudah datang dari provinsi Yudea dan ada di Galilea, dia pergi ke Kana untuk memohon kepada Yesus agar langsung ikut bersamanya ke Kapernaum dan menyembuhkan anaknya.
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
Tetapi Yesus berkata kepada pejabat itu dan semua orang yang ada di situ, “Orang-orang di sini tidak mau percaya kepada-Ku kalau belum melihat keajaiban-keajaiban.”
49 But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
Lalu pejabat itu berkata kepada-Nya, “Tuan, tolong datanglah, sebelum anak saya mati!”
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
Tetapi Yesus menjawabnya, “Kamu boleh pulang, karena anakmu sudah sembuh dan tidak jadi mati.” Pejabat itu percaya kepada perkataan Yesus dan langsung pulang.
51 [The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
Dalam perjalanan kembali ke Kapernaum, dia bertemu dengan beberapa budaknya yang datang dari rumahnya. Mereka memberitahukan kepadanya, “Anak Tuan sudah sembuh.”
52 He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
Pejabat itu bertanya kepada mereka, “Jam berapa dia sembuh?” Dan mereka menjawab, “Kemarin siang, kira-kira jam satu demamnya hilang.”
53 Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
Lalu dia teringat bahwa tepat pada jam itu juga Yesus berkata kepadanya, “Anakmu sudah sembuh.” Jadi dia dan semua orang serumahnya menjadi percaya kepada Yesus.
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
Itulah keajaiban kedua yang Yesus lakukan di Galilea, sewaktu Dia kembali dari Yudea.
