John 8
1 But Jesus went [with us disciples] to Olive [Tree] Hill [and we stayed near there that night].
tetapi Yesus pergi ke bukit Zaitun.
2 Early the next morning, we returned to the Temple [courtyard]. Many people gathered around Jesus, so he sat down to teach them.
Pagi-pagi benar Ia berada lagi di Bait Allah, dan seluruh rakyat datang kepada-Nya. Ia duduk dan mengajar mereka.
3 Then men who taught the [Jewish] laws and some of [SYN] the Pharisee [religious group] brought a woman to him. She was seized {[They] had [arranged to] seize her} while she was having sex with a man who was not her husband. They made her stand up in front of the group [that was listening to Jesus].
Maka ahli-ahli Taurat dan orang-orang Farisi membawa kepada-Nya seorang perempuan yang kedapatan berbuat zinah.
4 Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was seized {[we] seized this woman} while she was having sex with a man who is not her husband.
Mereka menempatkan perempuan itu di tengah-tengah lalu berkata kepada Yesus: "Rabi, perempuan ini tertangkap basah ketika ia sedang berbuat zinah.
5 Moses commanded us in the laws that [he gave us] that we should throw stones at such women [and kill them]. So what do you say [we should do]?”
Musa dalam hukum Taurat memerintahkan kita untuk melempari perempuan-perempuan yang demikian. Apakah pendapat-Mu tentang hal itu?"
6 They asked this question as a trap so that they could accuse him. [If he said that they should not kill her, they would shame him for disobeying the law of Moses. If he said that they should kill her, they could accuse him to the Roman governor]. But Jesus bent down and wrote something on the ground with his finger.
Mereka mengatakan hal itu untuk mencobai Dia, supaya mereka memperoleh sesuatu untuk menyalahkan-Nya. Tetapi Yesus membungkuk lalu menulis dengan jari-Nya di tanah.
7 While they continued to question him, he stood up and said to them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned can be the first one to start throwing stones at her.”
Dan ketika mereka terus-menerus bertanya kepada-Nya, Iapun bangkit berdiri lalu berkata kepada mereka: "Barangsiapa di antara kamu tidak berdosa, hendaklah ia yang pertama melemparkan batu kepada perempuan itu."
8 Then he stooped down and wrote [some more] on the ground.
Lalu Ia membungkuk pula dan menulis di tanah.
9 After they heard what he said, those [who were questioning him] went away, one by one, the older ones first [and then the younger ones, knowing they were all sinners]. Finally only Jesus was there, along with the woman.
Tetapi setelah mereka mendengar perkataan itu, pergilah mereka seorang demi seorang, mulai dari yang tertua. Akhirnya tinggallah Yesus seorang diri dengan perempuan itu yang tetap di tempatnya.
10 Jesus stood up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one said you must die for your sin?”
Lalu Yesus bangkit berdiri dan berkata kepadanya: "Hai perempuan, di manakah mereka? Tidak adakah seorang yang menghukum engkau?"
11 She said, “No, sir, no one.” Then Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go [home] now, and do not continue your sinful [life] any longer!”]
Jawabnya: "Tidak ada, Tuhan." Lalu kata Yesus: "Akupun tidak menghukum engkau. Pergilah, dan jangan berbuat dosa lagi mulai dari sekarang."
12 Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, “I am [like] a light [MET] for [all the people in] [MTY] the world. [Just like a light reveals what has been in the darkness] [MET], [I reveal God’s truth to them]. Those who walk in the darkness [are unaware of what is around them]. But those who become my disciples will always be aware [of God’s truth] [MET]. They will have my light [which shows them how to have eternal] life.”
Maka Yesus berkata pula kepada orang banyak, kata-Nya: "Akulah terang dunia; barangsiapa mengikut Aku, ia tidak akan berjalan dalam kegelapan, melainkan ia akan mempunyai terang hidup."
13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You are just telling about yourself! [Since there is no one else to verify these things that you say about yourself], [we] do not [need to accept that] what you say is true.”
Kata orang-orang Farisi kepada-Nya: "Engkau bersaksi tentang diri-Mu, kesaksian-Mu tidak benar."
14 Jesus replied, “Even if I were the [only one to] say these things about myself, what I say is true, because I know that I came from [heaven], and I know that I am going [back to heaven]. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
Jawab Yesus kepada mereka, kata-Nya: "Biarpun Aku bersaksi tentang diri-Ku sendiri, namun kesaksian-Ku itu benar, sebab Aku tahu, dari mana Aku datang dan ke mana Aku pergi. Tetapi kamu tidak tahu, dari mana Aku datang dan ke mana Aku pergi.
15 You judge people according to human standards. [The reason] that I am [here is] not (to condemn people/to say that I will punish people) [for their sins].
Kamu menghakimi menurut ukuran manusia, Aku tidak menghakimi seorangpun,
16 But if I did judge [people], what I decided would be correct, because I am not the [only] one [who will decide those things]. I and the one who sent me will both decide.
dan jikalau Aku menghakimi, maka penghakiman-Ku itu benar, sebab Aku tidak seorang diri, tetapi Aku bersama dengan Dia yang mengutus Aku.
17 It is written {[Moses] wrote} in your law that if [at least] two people testify that [some event has happened], [people should consider] that what they say is true.
Dan dalam kitab Tauratmu ada tertulis, bahwa kesaksian dua orang adalah sah;
18 I am telling you about myself, and the other one who is telling you about me is [my] Father who sent me. [So you should believe that what we declare is true].”
Akulah yang bersaksi tentang diri-Ku sendiri, dan juga Bapa, yang mengutus Aku, bersaksi tentang Aku."
19 Then they asked him, “[If you have a] father whom [we can question about you], where is he?” Jesus replied, “You do not know [who] I [really am]. If you knew who I [really am], you would know who my Father is also.”
Maka kata mereka kepada-Nya: "Di manakah Bapa-Mu?" Jawab Yesus: "Baik Aku, maupun Bapa-Ku tidak kamu kenal. Jikalau sekiranya kamu mengenal Aku, kamu mengenal juga Bapa-Ku."
20 He said these things when he was in the Temple [courtyard], near the place where the people put their offerings. [This was also very close to the place where the Jewish council met]. But no one seized him to arrest him, because it was not yet time [MTY] [for him to suffer and die].
Kata-kata itu dikatakan Yesus dekat perbendaharaan, waktu Ia mengajar di dalam Bait Allah. Dan tidak seorangpun yang menangkap Dia, karena saat-Nya belum tiba.
21 Jesus also said to them, “I [will soon be] going away. Then [at the end of your life] you will seek me, but you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. Where I will go, you will not be able to come.”
Maka Yesus berkata pula kepada orang banyak: "Aku akan pergi dan kamu akan mencari Aku tetapi kamu akan mati dalam dosamu. Ke tempat Aku pergi, tidak mungkin kamu datang."
22 So the Jewish [leaders] said among themselves, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that the reason that he said, ‘Where I go, you will not be able to come’?”
Maka kata orang-orang Yahudi itu: "Apakah Ia mau bunuh diri dan karena itu dikatakan-Nya: Ke tempat Aku pergi, tidak mungkin kamu datang?"
23 But Jesus continued by saying to them, “You were born here in this world, but I came from heaven. You belong to those who are opposed to God [MTY]. I do not belong to them.
Lalu Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Kamu berasal dari bawah, Aku dari atas; kamu dari dunia ini, Aku bukan dari dunia ini.
24 I told you that you will die [without God forgiving] your sins. If you do not believe that I am [who I say that I am], you will die [without God forgiving] your sins.”
Karena itu tadi Aku berkata kepadamu, bahwa kamu akan mati dalam dosamu; sebab jikalau kamu tidak percaya, bahwa Akulah Dia, kamu akan mati dalam dosamu."
25 So they said to him, “You! Who do you think you are?” Jesus said to them, “Ever since I began [teaching], I have been telling you who I am!
Maka kata mereka kepada-Nya: "Siapakah Engkau?" Jawab Yesus kepada mereka: "Apakah gunanya lagi Aku berbicara dengan kamu?
26 I could judge you and say that [you are guilty of] many things. But instead, [I will say only] what the one who sent me tells me to say. [What he says] is true, and I tell the people in the world [MTY] what I have heard from him.”
Banyak yang harus Kukatakan dan Kuhakimi tentang kamu; akan tetapi Dia, yang mengutus Aku, adalah benar, dan apa yang Kudengar dari pada-Nya, itu yang Kukatakan kepada dunia."
27 They did not understand that he was talking about his Father [in heaven].
Mereka tidak mengerti, bahwa Ia berbicara kepada mereka tentang Bapa.
28 So Jesus said, “I am the one who came down from heaven, but when you lift me up [on a cross to kill me], you will know who I am. You will also know that I do not do anything with my own [authority]. Instead, I say just what [my] Father has taught me.
Maka kata Yesus: "Apabila kamu telah meninggikan Anak Manusia, barulah kamu tahu, bahwa Akulah Dia, dan bahwa Aku tidak berbuat apa-apa dari diri-Ku sendiri, tetapi Aku berbicara tentang hal-hal, sebagaimana diajarkan Bapa kepada-Ku.
29 He is the one who sent me, and he helps me. Because I always do the things that please him, he has never abandoned me.”
Dan Ia, yang telah mengutus Aku, Ia menyertai Aku. Ia tidak membiarkan Aku sendiri, sebab Aku senantiasa berbuat apa yang berkenan kepada-Nya."
30 As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he [was] ([from God/the Messiah]).
Setelah Yesus mengatakan semuanya itu, banyak orang percaya kepada-Nya.
31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to [live in accordance with] my message, you will truly be my disciples.
Maka kata-Nya kepada orang-orang Yahudi yang percaya kepada-Nya: "Jikalau kamu tetap dalam firman-Ku, kamu benar-benar adalah murid-Ku
32 Then you will know [God’s] truth, and as a result of [your believing his] truth, he [PRS] will free you [from being controlled by the one who has made you his slaves].”
dan kamu akan mengetahui kebenaran, dan kebenaran itu akan memerdekakan kamu."
33 They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham. We have never been anyone’s slaves. So why do you say [we will] be freed [from being someone’s slaves]?”
Jawab mereka: "Kami adalah keturunan Abraham dan tidak pernah menjadi hamba siapapun. Bagaimana Engkau dapat berkata: Kamu akan merdeka?"
34 Jesus replied, “Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. All those who continue to sin are [forced to obey] their sinful desires [MET], [just like] a slave [is forced to obey his master].
Kata Yesus kepada mereka: "Aku berkata kepadamu, sesungguhnya setiap orang yang berbuat dosa, adalah hamba dosa.
35 A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. [Similarly, you say you are members of God’s family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God’s family]. (aiōn g165)
Dan hamba tidak tetap tinggal dalam rumah, tetapi anak tetap tinggal dalam rumah. (aiōn g165)
36 So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.
Jadi apabila Anak itu memerdekakan kamu, kamupun benar-benar merdeka."
37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. But you are trying to kill me because [you are not] allowing [PRS] my message to continue [to change] your inner being.
"Aku tahu, bahwa kamu adalah keturunan Abraham, tetapi kamu berusaha untuk membunuh Aku karena firman-Ku tidak beroleh tempat di dalam kamu.
38 I am telling you what I saw when I was with [my] Father. But you do the things that you have heard from your father.”
Apa yang Kulihat pada Bapa, itulah yang Kukatakan, dan demikian juga kamu perbuat tentang apa yang kamu dengar dari bapamu."
39 They replied to him, “Abraham is our ancestor.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s descendants, [your character would be like Abraham’s character, and] you would do [good] things like Abraham did.
Jawab mereka kepada-Nya: "Bapa kami ialah Abraham." Kata Yesus kepada mereka: "Jikalau sekiranya kamu anak-anak Abraham, tentulah kamu mengerjakan pekerjaan yang dikerjakan oleh Abraham.
40 I have been telling you the truth that I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did not do things like that.
Tetapi yang kamu kerjakan ialah berusaha membunuh Aku; Aku, seorang yang mengatakan kebenaran kepadamu, yaitu kebenaran yang Kudengar dari Allah; pekerjaan yang demikian tidak dikerjakan oleh Abraham.
41 No! You are doing the things that your [real] father does.” They said to him, “[We do not know about you, but] we are not illegitimate children. And [spiritually], we have only one Father. That is God, and you do not know who your father is!”
Kamu mengerjakan pekerjaan bapamu sendiri." Jawab mereka: "Kami tidak dilahirkan dari zinah. Bapa kami satu, yaitu Allah."
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, because I came from God, and now I have come here [to this world]. My coming was not (because I [appointed] myself/with my own [authority]). He sent me.
Kata Yesus kepada mereka: "Jikalau Allah adalah Bapamu, kamu akan mengasihi Aku, sebab Aku keluar dan datang dari Allah. Dan Aku datang bukan atas kehendak-Ku sendiri, melainkan Dialah yang mengutus Aku.
43 (And I will tell you why you do not understand what I say./Do you know why you do not understand what I say?) [RHQ] It is because you do not want to accept my message.
Apakah sebabnya kamu tidak mengerti bahasa-Ku? Sebab kamu tidak dapat menangkap firman-Ku.
44 You belong to your father, (the devil/Satan), and you desire to do what he wants. He has [caused people to become] murderers from the time when [people] first [sinned]. He has abandoned [God’s] truth because he is a liar by his nature. Whenever he lies, he is speaking according to his [nature], because he is a liar and is the one who originates [MET] all lies.
Iblislah yang menjadi bapamu dan kamu ingin melakukan keinginan-keinginan bapamu. Ia adalah pembunuh manusia sejak semula dan tidak hidup dalam kebenaran, sebab di dalam dia tidak ada kebenaran. Apabila ia berkata dusta, ia berkata atas kehendaknya sendiri, sebab ia adalah pendusta dan bapa segala dusta.
45 But because I tell you the truth, you do not believe me!
Tetapi karena Aku mengatakan kebenaran kepadamu, kamu tidak percaya kepada-Ku.
46 [Since I have never sinned], (none of you can show that I have sinned./can anyone among you show that I have sinned?) [RHQ] So, since I tell you the truth, (there is no good reason for your not believing me!/why is it that you do not believe me?) [RHQ]
Siapakah di antaramu yang membuktikan bahwa Aku berbuat dosa? Apabila Aku mengatakan kebenaran, mengapakah kamu tidak percaya kepada-Ku?
47 Those who belong to God habitually obey God’s message. You do not belong to God, so you do not obey his message.”
Barangsiapa berasal dari Allah, ia mendengarkan firman Allah; itulah sebabnya kamu tidak mendengarkannya, karena kamu tidak berasal dari Allah."
48 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied to him, “(We are certainly right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]!/Are we not right by saying that you [believe what is false as] the Samaritans [do]?) [RHQ] And that (a demon/an evil spirit) [controls] you!”
Orang-orang Yahudi menjawab Yesus: "Bukankah benar kalau kami katakan bahwa Engkau orang Samaria dan kerasukan setan?"
49 Jesus replied, “A demon does not [control] me! I honor my Father, and you do not honor me!
Jawab Yesus: "Aku tidak kerasukan setan, tetapi Aku menghormati Bapa-Ku dan kamu tidak menghormati Aku.
50 I am not trying to honor myself. There is someone else who desires [to honor me], and he is the one who will judge [whether it is I who am telling the truth or whether it is you who are telling the truth].
Tetapi Aku tidak mencari hormat bagi-Ku: ada Satu yang mencarinya dan Dia juga yang menghakimi.
Aku berkata kepadamu: Sesungguhnya barangsiapa menuruti firman-Ku, ia tidak akan mengalami maut sampai selama-lamanya." (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [thinking that he was talking about ordinary death and not about spiritual death], said to him, “Now we are sure that a demon [controls] you! Abraham and the prophets died [long ago]! But you say that anyone who obeys what you teach will never die! (aiōn g165)
Kata orang-orang Yahudi kepada-Nya: "Sekarang kami tahu, bahwa Engkau kerasukan setan. Sebab Abraham telah mati dan demikian juga nabi-nabi, namun Engkau berkata: Barangsiapa menuruti firman-Ku, ia tidak akan mengalami maut sampai selama-lamanya. (aiōn g165)
53 (You are certainly not greater than our ancestor Abraham!/Do you think you are greater than our ancestor Abraham?) [RHQ] He died, and all the prophets died, so who do you think you are [by saying something like that]?”
Adakah Engkau lebih besar dari pada bapa kita Abraham, yang telah mati! Nabi-nabipun telah mati; dengan siapakah Engkau samakan diri-Mu?"
54 Jesus replied, “If I were honoring myself, that would be worthless. My Father is the one who you say is your God. He is the one who honors me.
Jawab Yesus: "Jikalau Aku memuliakan diri-Ku sendiri, maka kemuliaan-Ku itu sedikitpun tidak ada artinya. Bapa-Kulah yang memuliakan Aku, tentang siapa kamu berkata: Dia adalah Allah kami,
55 Although you do not know him, I know him [and have a close relationship with him]. If I said that I did not know him, I would be a liar like you are. But I know him, and I obey what he says.
padahal kamu tidak mengenal Dia, tetapi Aku mengenal Dia. Dan jika Aku berkata: Aku tidak mengenal Dia, maka Aku adalah pendusta, sama seperti kamu, tetapi Aku mengenal Dia dan Aku menuruti firman-Nya.
56 Your ancestor Abraham was happy when he thought about what I would [do during] my life [MTY]. [It was as though] he saw that, and was happy.”
Abraham bapamu bersukacita bahwa ia akan melihat hari-Ku dan ia telah melihatnya dan ia bersukacita."
57 Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to him, “You are not 50 years old yet! So (you certainly did not see him!/how could you have seen him?) [RHQ] [Because he died long ago]!”
Maka kata orang-orang Yahudi itu kepada-Nya: "Umur-Mu belum sampai lima puluh tahun dan Engkau telah melihat Abraham?"
58 Jesus said to them, “The truth is that I existed before Abraham was born!”
Kata Yesus kepada mereka: "Aku berkata kepadamu, sesungguhnya sebelum Abraham jadi, Aku telah ada."
59 So, [because they were very angry about Jesus thus saying that he] ([had eternally existed/was equal with God]), they picked up stones to throw at him [to kill him]. But [Jesus] caused them not to be able to see him, and he left the Temple courtyard.
Lalu mereka mengambil batu untuk melempari Dia; tetapi Yesus menghilang dan meninggalkan Bait Allah.
