John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
Saat Yesus sedang berjalan, Dia melihat ada seorang laki-laki yang buta sejak lahir.
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
Murid-murid-Nya bertanya kepada-Nya, “Guru, dosa siapakah yang membuat orang ini lahir buta? Apakah dia yang berbuat dosa ataukah orang tuanya yang berbuat dosa?”
3 Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
Jawab Yesus, “Dia ataupun kedua orang tuanya tidak berbuat dosa. Hal ini terjadi supaya orang banyak bisa melihat apa yang Allah akan buat dengan kuasa-Nya melalui dia.
4 While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
Aku harus melakukan tugas-tugas dari Bapa yang sudah mengutus Aku selagi hari masih siang. Malam akan tiba, dan akan terlalu gelap untuk melakukan apapun.
5 While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
Selama Aku masih berada di dunia ini Aku adalah terang dunia.”
6 After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
Sesudah itu, Yesus membuang ludah ke tanah, lalu Dia mengambil dan menaruh tanah yang basah dari ludah-Nya itu, pada kedua mata orang buta itu.
7 Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was able to see!
“Pergilah,” perintah Yesus, “dan cucilah matamu di kolam Siloam.” (Dalam bahasa Ibrani arti “Siloam” adalah “Diutus.”) Orang itu pergi dan mencuci matanya Sesudah itu, dia bisa melihat.
8 His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
Tetangga-tetangganya, dan orang-orang yang pernah melihat dia waktu dia buta berkata, “Bukankah orang ini yang biasanya duduk di sini dan mengemis.”
9 Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
Ada beberapa orang berkata, “Benar, inilah orangnya.” Yang lain berkata, “Bukan, dia memang mirip orang itu.”
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
Mereka, lalu bertanya, “Bagaimana caranya kamu sekarang bisa melihat.”
11 He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
Dia menjawab, “Orang yang bernama Yesus membuat lumpur dengan cara mencampur ludah-Nya dengan tanah untuk membuat lumpur. Lalu dia menaruh lumpur itu pada kelopak mata saya. Dia menyuruh saya pergi mencuci mata di kolam Siloam. Sesudah saya lakukan itu, saya bisa melihat.”
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
“Di mana orang itu sekarang?” tanya mereka. Dia menjawab, “Saya tidak tahu.”
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
Mereka membawa orang yang sebelumnya buta itu menghadap orang-orang Farisi,
14 The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
karena Yesus membuat lumpur dan menyembuhkan orang buta itu pada hari Sabat.
15 So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
Jadi orang Farisi bertanya kepada pria itu, “Bagaimana kamu sekarang bisa melihat?” Jawab orang itu, “Yesus yang menaruh lumpur pada mata saya, dan lalu saya pergi mencucinya, dan sekarang saya bisa melihat.”
16 So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
Kemudian ada beberapa orang Farisi yang berkata, “Orang itu tidak mungkin diutus Allah. Dia tidak taat pada hukum hari Sabat.” Yang lainnya berkata, “Bagaimana mungkin dia orang jahat kalau dia melakukan hal ajaib?” Di antara orang-orang Farisi sendiri terjadi beda pendapat.
17 So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
Lalu mereka bertanya kepada orang yang dilahirkan buta itu, “Apa pendapatmu tentang orang yang menyembuhkanmu?” Jawab orang itu, “Menurut saya, dia adalah seorang nabi.”
18 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
Tetapi pemimpin-pemimpin Yahudi sebenarnya tidak percaya bahwa orang itu sebelumnya buta dan sekarang bisa melihat. Jadi mereka memanggil orang tua pria itu.
19 [When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
Mereka bertanya kepada mereka, “Apakah ini anakmu yang kamu katakan terlahir buta? Jadi bagaimana sekarang dia bisa melihat?”
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
Jawab mereka, “Kami yakin bahwa dia adalah anak kami yang dilahirkan buta.
21 But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you himself!”
Tetapi kami tidak tahu bagaimana dia bisa melihat, dan kami juga tidak mengenal orang yang menyembuhkan matanya! Tanyakan saja padanya! Dia sudah dewasa dan bisa menjawab sendiri.”
22 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Orang tuanya menjawab seperti itu sebab mereka takut kepada pemimpin-pemimpin Yahudi. Mereka tahu bahwa pemimpin-pemimpin itu sudah sepakat kalau ada orang yang menyatakan bahwa Yesus adalah Kristus, mereka akan menjadi dikeluarkan dari rumah pertemuan.
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
Itulah alasan mengapa orang tuanya menjawab, “Dia sudah cukup umur untuk bisa menjawab sendiri.”
24 So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
Sekali lagi orang yang sebelumnya buta itu dipanggil untuk menghadap. Pemimpin-pemimpin itu berkata kepadanya, “Kamu harus mengucap syukur kepada Allah. Kami tahu bahwa orang yang menyembuhkanmu itu berdosa.”
25 He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
Dia jawab, “Saya tidak tahu apakah orang itu baik atau jahat Yang saya tahu adalah: Dulu saya buta, tetapi sekarang saya sudah bisa melihat!”
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
Lalu mereka bertanya lagi, “Apa yang dia lakukan kepadamu? Bagaimana dia menyembuhkanmu?”
27 He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
Dia menjawab, “Saya sudah katakan tadi, dan kalian tidak mendengar? Mengapa kalian ingin saya menceritakannya kembali? Apakah kalian juga ingin menjadi pengikutnya?”
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
Hal ini membuat mereka marah, dan mereka menghinanya dengan berkata, “Kamulah pengikut orang itu, tetapi kami adalah pengikut-pengikut Musa.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] from!”
Kami tahu bahwa Allah berbicara dengan Musa, sedangkan orang ini, kita bahkan tidak tahu dari mana dia berasal!”
30 The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
Jawaban orang itu, “Sangat mengherankan! Dia menyembuhkan saya tetapi kalian tidak tahu asal usulnya!
31 We know that God does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
Kami tahu bahwa Allah tidak mendengarkan orang-orang berdosa Tetapi Allah mendengarkan permohonan orang yang menunjukkan rasa hormat dan taat kepada-Nya.
32 No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
Sebelum hal ini terjadi, belum pernah ada orang yang menyembuhkan mata orang yang dilahirkan buta. (aiōn g165)
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
Kalau orang ini tidak berasal dari Allah, dia tidak akan mungkin melakukan sesuatu seperti ini.”
34 They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
Jawab mereka, “Kamu dilahirkan buta! Dan sekarang kamu mau mengajar kami?!” Lalu mereka mengusir dia dari rumah pertemuan.
35 Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
Yesus mendengar bahwa orang itu diusir dari rumah pertemuan Dia mencarinya dan berkata, “Apakah kamu percaya kepada Anak Allah?”
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
Jawab orang itu, “Bapak, siapakah Anak Allah Katakanlah, supaya saya bisa percaya kepada-Nya.”
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
Yesus berkata, “Kamu sudah melihat Dia Orang yang sedang bicara denganmu saat ini adalah Anak Allah.”
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
Jawab orang itu, “Saya percaya!” Dia lalu dia bersujud menyembah-Nya.
39 Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
Yesus berkata, “Aku datang ke dunia ini untuk menghakimi orang, supaya orang buta bisa melihat, dan orang yang bisa melihat akan menjadi buta.”
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
Pada saat itu ada beberapa orang Farisi yang sedang berdiri bersama Yesus. Mereka mendengar apa yang Dia katakan. Lalu mereka bertanya, “Jadi yang Engkau maksudkan adalah kami juga buta?”
41 Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
Jawab Yesus kepada mereka, “Kalau kalian buta, kalian tidak akan bersalah, tetapi karena sekarang kalian mengatakan bahwa ‘Kami bisa melihat,’ maka kalian tetap bersalah.”
