Luke 10
1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Sesudah itu Yesus memilih tujuh puluh orang pengikut yang lain, lalu mengutus mereka pergi berdua-dua mendahului Dia ke setiap kota dan tempat yang akan dikunjungi-Nya.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
Yesus berkata kepada mereka, “Semua ladang gandum ini sudah siap dipanen, tetapi orang yang memanen hanya sedikit. Karena itu, berdoalah supaya TUHAN Sang Pemilik ladang-ladang ini mengirim para pekerja untuk memanen semua gandum itu.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
“Sekarang pergilah! Dan perhatikanlah! Aku mengutus kamu ke dalam situasi yang berbahaya. Kamu akan menjadi seperti domba di tengah gerombolan serigala.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Janganlah membawa dompet, tas, ataupun sandal cadangan. Dan jangan berhenti untuk berbicara dengan orang-orang yang kamu temui dalam perjalanan.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Sebelum kamu masuk ke dalam rumah seseorang, ucapkanlah terlebih dahulu, ‘Salam semuanya! Kiranya kalian sekeluarga merasa tenang dalam perlindungan TUHAN!’
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
Kalau orang di dalam rumah itu menginginkan ketenangan dari TUHAN, dia akan menerima kamu, dan Allah akan memberkati dia serta keluarganya sesuai perkataanmu itu. Tetapi kalau di situ tidak ada orang yang menginginkan ketenangan TUHAN, maka ucapan berkatmu itu tidak akan terjadi di antara mereka.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Kalau kamu masuk ke suatu kota dan orang-orang di situ menyambut kamu dengan baik, tinggallah dengan keluarga yang menerima kamu sampai kamu pergi meninggalkan kota itu. Janganlah berpindah-pindah. Makan dan minumlah apa saja yang mereka hidangkan untukmu. Karena setiap pekerja berhak mendapat upahnya.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
Sembuhkanlah orang-orang sakit di kota itu, dan beritakanlah kepada penduduknya, ‘Tidak lama lagi Allah akan datang mendirikan kerajaan-Nya di dunia ini.’
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
“Tetapi kalau kalian masuk ke suatu kota dan orang-orang di situ tidak menerima kalian, pergilah ke jalan-jalan raya kota itu dan serukanlah,
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
‘Lihat, kami mengibaskan debu kotamu yang menempel pada kaki kami sebagai peringatan bahwa Allah akan menghukum kalian! Tetapi ketahuilah: Tidak lama lagi Allah akan datang mendirikan kerajaan-Nya di dunia ini!’”
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Lalu Yesus menegaskan kepada mereka, “Sesungguhnya, pada Hari Pengadilan, hukuman bagi penduduk kota itu akan jauh lebih berat daripada hukuman bagi penduduk kota Sodom!”
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
“Celakalah kalian, orang-orang Korazin! Celakalah kalian, orang-orang Betsaida! Betapa ngerinya nanti hukuman Allah atas kalian! Karena seandainya keajaiban-keajaiban yang sudah Aku lakukan di antara kalian terjadi juga pada zaman dulu di Tirus dan Sidon, maka sudah sejak lama mereka bertobat dan menunjukkan kesungguhan mereka dengan duduk memakai kain kabung dan menaruh abu di kepala mereka.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Pada Hari Pengadilan nanti, hukuman bagi kalian akan jauh lebih berat daripada hukuman bagi penduduk Tirus dan Sidon.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
Dan kalian juga, hai penduduk Kapernaum! Pikirmu kalian akan ditinggikan sampai mendapat kehormatan besar di surga. Tidak! Kalian akan dibuang ke dalam neraka!” (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Lagi kata Yesus kepada para pengikut-Nya itu, “Dalam pandangan Allah, setiap orang yang menerima perkataanmu sebagai utusan-Ku dianggap sama seperti mendengarkan Aku. Demikian juga setiap orang yang menolak kamu sebagai utusan-Ku dianggap sama seperti menolak Aku. Dan setiap orang yang menolak Aku berarti menolak Allah yang sudah mengutus Aku.”
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Tidak lama kemudian ketujuh puluh pengikut itu kembali kepada Yesus. Dengan gembira mereka berkata, “Tuhan, atas nama-Mu setan-setan pun tunduk kepada kami.”
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
Kata Yesus kepada mereka, “Benar! Waktu kalian mengusir setan-setan, kuasa Satanas dikalahkan sehingga dia seolah jatuh dari langit seperti kilat.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Perhatikanlah! Sekarang Aku memberikan kuasa kepada kalian, supaya ketika kamu menginjak ular, atau kalajengking, ataupun berhadapan dengan kuasa gelap, tidak akan ada yang bisa mencelakakanmu.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Sekalipun begitu janganlah bersukacita karena roh-roh jahat tunduk kepada perintahmu. Tetapi bersukacitalah karena namamu sudah terdaftar di surga.”
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
Waktu itu juga, Roh Kudus memberikan sukacita yang luar biasa kepada Yesus. Lalu Dia berkata, “Aku memuji Engkau, ya Bapa, TUHAN langit dan bumi! Karena Engkau sudah merahasiakan ajaran-ajaran tentang kerajaan-Mu dari orang-orang yang bijak dan berpengetahuan, tetapi Engkau menyatakannya kepada siapa saja yang bersedia menerima ajaran benar dengan hati yang polos seperti anak-anak kecil. Karena, ya Bapa, sungguh itulah yang menyenangkan hati-Mu!”
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Kemudian Yesus berpaling kepada murid-murid-Nya dan berkata, “Segala sesuatu sudah diserahkan Bapa kepada-Ku. Tidak seorang pun mengenal Aku, yaitu Anak-Nya, kecuali Bapa. Dan tidak seorang pun mengenal Bapa-Ku kecuali Aku dan orang-orang yang hendak Aku perkenalkan kepada-Nya.”
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
Lalu ketika Yesus bersama murid-murid-Nya saja, Dia berkata, “Kamu semua sungguh diberkati Allah, karena kamu diberi kesempatan untuk melihat apa yang terjadi sekarang dengan matamu sendiri.
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Aku menegaskan kepadamu: Banyak nabi dan raja zaman dahulu yang ingin melihat dan mendengar apa yang sekarang kamu lihat dan dengar, tetapi berkat itu tidak diberikan kepada mereka.”
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
Suatu hari, datanglah seorang ahli Taurat hendak menguji Yesus dengan pertanyaan. Katanya, “Guru, apa yang harus saya lakukan supaya bisa mendapatkan hidup kekal?” (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
Yesus menjawabnya, “Apa yang tertulis dalam hukum Taurat? Jawaban apa yang kamu lihat di situ?”
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Kata orang itu, “‘Kasihilah TUHAN Allahmu dengan segenap hatimu, dengan segenap nafas hidupmu, dengan segenap akal pikiranmu, dan dengan segenap kekuatanmu.’ Dan, ‘Kasihilah sesamamu seperti kamu mengasihi dirimu sendiri.’”
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
Yesus pun berkata, “Jawabanmu itu benar. Lakukanlah itu, maka kamu akan mendapatkan hidup yang kekal.”
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Tetapi karena orang itu mau membenarkan dirinya, dia bertanya kepada Yesus, “Siapakah yang bisa dianggap sesama saya?”
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Lalu Yesus menjawab dia dengan perumpamaan ini, “Ada seorang laki-laki turun dari kota Yerusalem ke Yeriko. Dalam perjalanan, dia diserang oleh beberapa perampok yang merampas semua barang bawaannya, bahkan pakaiannya. Mereka memukuli dia sampai hampir mati, lalu meninggalkannya sendirian di situ.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
“Kebetulan seorang imam juga turun melalui jalan yang sama. Ketika dia melihat orang itu, dia menghindar dan melewatinya dari seberang jalan.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Begitu juga dengan seorang dari suku Lewi. Dia lewat di situ dan melihat orang itu, tetapi dia pun menghindar dan melewatinya dari seberang jalan.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
“Kemudian lewatlah seorang Samaria yang sedang dalam perjalanan. Ketika melihat orang yang dirampok itu, dia merasa kasihan kepadanya.
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
Dia mendekati orang itu lalu membersihkan dan mengobati luka-lukanya dengan air anggur dan minyak zaitun, kemudian membalutnya. Sesudah itu dia menaikkan orang itu ke atas keledainya dan membawa dia ke rumah penginapan, lalu merawatnya di sana.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Hari berikutnya, orang Samaria itu memberikan dua keping uang perak kepada pemilik penginapan dengan berpesan, ‘Tolong rawatlah dia. Kalau uang ini kurang, selebihnya akan saya bayar ketika saya datang kembali.’”
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Yesus mengakhiri perumpamaan itu dengan bertanya, “Menurut pendapatmu, di antara ketiga orang tadi, siapakah yang merupakan sesama dari korban perampokan itu?”
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Jawab ahli Taurat itu, “Orang yang berbelas kasihan kepadanya dan menolong dia.” Kata Yesus kepadanya, “Nah, jadilah sesama yang baik seperti itu bagi semua orang lain.”
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Ketika Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya sedang dalam perjalanan, tibalah mereka di sebuah desa. Seorang perempuan yang bernama Marta menerima Dia di rumahnya.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
Saudari Marta, yaitu Maria, duduk di dekat kaki Yesus dan terus mendengarkan ajaran-Nya,
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
sedangkan Marta terus sibuk karena banyak yang dia kerjakan untuk melayani. Jadi dia datang kepada Yesus dan berkata, “Tuhan, tidak pedulikah Engkau kalau perempuan ini membiarkan saya bekerja sendirian?! Tolong suruh dia membantu saya.”
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Jawab Yesus kepadanya, “Marta, Marta, kamu kuatir dan menyusahkan diri sendiri dengan banyak hal!
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
Padahal hanya satu yang penting, dan Maria sudah memilih yang penting dan yang terbaik. Itu merupakan berkat yang tidak akan diambil darinya.”
