Luke 12
1 While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].
Beribu-ribu orang berdesak-desakan sampai ada yang terinjak-injak kakinya. Sementara orang-orang itu berkerumun, Yesus berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya, "Hati-hatilah terhadap ragi orang Farisi, maksud-Ku, kemunafikan mereka.
2 People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
Tidak ada yang tersembunyi yang tidak akan kelihatan, dan tidak ada yang dirahasiakan yang tidak akan dibongkar.
3 All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”
Yang kalian katakan pada waktu malam, akan terdengar waktu siang; dan yang kalian bisikkan di telinga orang di dalam kamar tertutup, akan diumumkan seluas-luasnya."
4 “My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
"Ingatlah, kawan-kawan-Ku! Janganlah takut kepada mereka yang membunuh badan tetapi tidak dapat berbuat lebih dari itu.
5 But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
Baiklah Kutunjukkan kepadamu siapa yang harus kalian takuti. Takutlah kepada Allah! Sebab sesudah membunuh, Ia berkuasa juga membuang ke dalam neraka! Percayalah, Dialah yang harus kalian takuti. (Geenna g1067)
6 [Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
Lima ekor burung pipit dijual seharga dua mata uang yang paling kecil. Meskipun begitu tidak seekor pun dilupakan Allah.
7 You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].
Rambut di kepalamu pun sudah dihitung semuanya, sebab itu janganlah takut; kalian jauh lebih berharga daripada burung-burung pipit!"
8 I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
"Ingatlah baik-baik: Orang yang mengakui di depan umum bahwa ia pengikut-Ku, ia akan diakui juga oleh Anak Manusia di hadapan malaikat-malaikat Allah.
9 But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
Tetapi orang yang menyangkal di muka umum bahwa ia pengikut-Ku, ia akan disangkal juga oleh Anak Manusia di hadapan malaikat-malaikat Allah.
10 [I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
Apabila orang mengatakan sesuatu menentang Anak Manusia, ia dapat diampuni; tetapi apabila ia menghina Roh Allah, ia tidak dapat diampuni.
11 [So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
Kalau kalian dibawa ke rumah-rumah ibadat untuk diadili di hadapan pemerintah atau penguasa, janganlah khawatir mengenai bagaimana kalian harus membela diri atau mengenai apa yang harus kalian katakan.
12 because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
Sebab apa yang kalian harus katakan itu akan diajarkan oleh Roh Allah kepadamu pada waktunya."
13 Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
Seorang di antara orang banyak berkata kepada Yesus, "Bapak Guru, cobalah Bapak menyuruh saudara saya memberikan kepada saya sebagian dari harta peninggalan ayah kami."
14 But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
Yesus menjawab, "Saudara, siapakah mengangkat Aku menjadi hakim atau pembagi warisan antara kalian berdua?"
15 Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
Kemudian kepada semua orang yang ada di situ Yesus berkata, "Hati-hatilah dan waspadalah, jangan sampai kalian serakah. Sebab hidup manusia tidak tergantung dari kekayaannya, walaupun hartanya berlimpah-limpah."
16 Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
Lalu Yesus menceritakan perumpamaan ini, "Adalah seorang kaya. Ia mempunyai tanah yang memberi banyak hasil.
17 [So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
Orang kaya itu mulai berpikir dalam hatinya, 'Sudah tidak ada tempat lagi untuk menyimpan hasil tanahku. Apa akalku sekarang?'
18 Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
Kemudian ia berpikir lagi dan berkata kepada dirinya sendiri, 'Nah, aku ada akal; gudang-gudangku akan kusuruh rombak lalu kubangun yang lebih besar. Di situlah akan kusimpan semua gandumku serta barang-barangku yang lain.
19 [Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
Kemudian akan kukatakan kepada diriku sendiri: Engkau beruntung! Segala yang baik sudah kaumiliki dan tidak akan habis selama bertahun-tahun. Istirahatlah sekarang! Makan minumlah dan nikmatilah hidupmu!'
20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
Tetapi Allah berkata kepadanya, 'Hai bodoh! Malam ini juga engkau akan mati, lalu siapakah yang akan mendapat seluruh kekayaan yang sudah kaukumpulkan untuk dirimu itu?'
21 [Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
Demikianlah jadinya dengan setiap orang yang berusaha menjadi kaya untuk dirinya sendiri, tetapi tidak berusaha menjadi kaya di mata Allah."
22 Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
Lalu Yesus berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya, "Itu sebabnya Aku berkata, 'Janganlah khawatir tentang hidupmu, yaitu apa yang akan kalian makan, atau apa yang akan kalian pakai.'
23 It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
Hidup adalah lebih dari makanan, dan badan lebih dari pakaian.
24 Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
Perhatikanlah burung-burung gagak! Mereka tidak menanam, tidak menuai, tidak juga mempunyai gudang atau lumbung. Tetapi Allah memelihara mereka! Kalian jauh lebih berharga daripada burung-burung!
25 (There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
Siapakah di antara kalian yang dengan kekhawatirannya dapat memperpanjang umurnya biarpun sedikit?
26 Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
Kalau hal sekecil itu saja sudah tidak dapat kalian lakukan, mengapa khawatir tentang hal-hal lain?
27 Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
Perhatikanlah bagaimana bunga-bunga bakung tumbuh; bunga-bunga itu tidak bekerja, tidak juga menenun. Tetapi Raja Salomo yang begitu kaya pun tidak memakai pakaian yang sebagus bunga-bunga itu!
28 God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?
Rumput di padang tumbuh hari ini dan besok dibakar habis. Namun Allah mendandani rumput itu begitu bagus. Apalagi kalian! Tetapi kalian kurang percaya!
29 Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
Jadi, janganlah khawatir dan bingung tentang apa yang akan kalian makan dan minum.
30 The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].
Hal-hal seperti itu dikejar oleh orang yang tidak mengenal Allah. Padahal Bapamu tahu bahwa kalian memerlukan semuanya itu.
31 Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
Tetapi kalian harus berusaha supaya Allah memerintah atas hidupmu, maka yang lain itu akan diberikan Allah juga kepadamu."
32 [You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
"Kalian yang hanya kecil jumlahnya, janganlah takut! Sebab Bapamu senang memberikan kepadamu berkat dari Pemerintahan-Nya.
33 [So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.
Juallah milikmu dan berikanlah uangnya kepada orang miskin. Buatlah untuk dirimu dompet yang tidak dapat usang, yaitu harta yang disimpan di surga. Harta itu tidak bisa hilang karena pencuri tidak dapat mengambilnya dan rayap tidak dapat merusaknya.
34 Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
Sebab di mana hartamu, di situ juga hatimu!"
35 “Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
"Berjaga-jagalah menghadapi setiap hal. Kalian harus selalu siap berpakaian dan lampumu tetap dinyalakan,
36 Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.
sama seperti pelayan-pelayan yang sedang siap menunggu tuannya kembali dari pesta kawin. Kalau tuan itu kembali dan mengetuk pintu, mereka akan segera membuka pintu.
37 If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.
Alangkah untungnya pelayan-pelayan yang kedapatan sedang menunggu pada waktu tuannya datang. Percayalah: tuan itu akan bersiap-siap dan menyuruh pelayan-pelayannya itu duduk, lalu ia melayani mereka.
38 [Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.
Alangkah untungnya pelayan-pelayan itu kalau tuan mereka itu mendapati mereka sedang siap menunggu, meskipun ia datang pada tengah malam atau lebih lambat dari itu!
39 But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.
Ingatlah ini! Seandainya tuan rumah tahu jam berapa pencuri akan datang, ia akan menjaga supaya pencuri tidak masuk ke dalam rumahnya.
40 Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
Sebab itu kalian juga harus bersiap-siap, karena Anak Manusia akan datang pada saat yang tidak kalian sangka-sangka."
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
"Tuhan, apakah pelajaran itu Tuhan tujukan kepada kami atau kepada semua orang?" tanya Petrus.
42 The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
Tuhan menjawab, "Siapa pelayan yang setia dan bijaksana sehingga diangkat oleh tuannya menjadi kepala atas pelayan-pelayan lain supaya ia memberi mereka makan pada waktunya?
43 If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
Alangkah bahagianya pelayan itu apabila tuannya kembali dan mendapati dia sedang melakukan tugasnya!
44 I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
Percayalah: Tuan itu akan mempercayakan segala hartanya kepada pelayan itu.
45 But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.
Tetapi kalau pelayan itu berkata dalam hatinya, 'Tuan saya masih lama baru kembali,' lalu ia memukul semua pelayan dan makan minum sampai mabuk,
46 [If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.
maka tuannya akan kembali pada hari dan jam yang tidak disangka-sangka. Dan pelayan itu akan dihajar habis-habisan oleh tuannya serta dijadikan senasib dengan orang-orang yang tidak taat kepada Allah.
47 Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.
Pelayan yang tahu kemauan tuannya, tetapi tidak bersiap-siap dan tidak melakukan kehendak tuannya itu, akan dicambuk dengan keras.
48 But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”
Tetapi pelayan yang tidak tahu kemauan tuannya, kemudian melakukan sesuatu yang salah sehingga harus dicambuk, akan dicambuk dengan ringan saja. Sebab orang yang sudah diberi banyak, daripadanya akan dituntut banyak juga. Dan orang yang sudah dipercayakan banyak, daripadanya akan dituntut banyak pula."
49 “I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.
"Aku datang untuk menimbulkan kebakaran di bumi ini. Alangkah baiknya kalau apinya sudah menyala!
50 I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
Masih ada penderitaan hebat yang harus Aku jalani. Dan hati-Ku gelisah sekali sebelum itu terlaksana.
51 Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.
Apakah kalian sangka Aku datang untuk membawa perdamaian ke dunia? Tidak, bukan perdamaian, melainkan perlawanan.
52 Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].
Mulai dari sekarang, keluarga yang terdiri dari lima orang akan bertentangan, tiga lawan dua, atau dua lawan tiga.
53 A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”
Bapak akan melawan anaknya yang laki-laki dan anak laki-laki akan melawan bapaknya. Ibu melawan anaknya yang perempuan dan anak perempuan melawan ibunya. Ibu mertua akan melawan menantunya yang perempuan dan menantu perempuan akan melawan ibu mertuanya."
54 He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.
Yesus berkata juga kepada orang banyak, "Kalau kalian melihat awan naik di sebelah barat, langsung kalian berkata, 'Akan hujan.' Dan benar-benar hujan.
55 [In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.
Kalau kalian merasa angin datang dari selatan, kalian berkata, 'Akan panas.' Dan benar-benar panas.
56 You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!
Kalian orang yang suka berpura-pura! Kalian dapat meramalkan cuaca dengan melihat keadaan langit dan bumi. Mengapa tanda-tanda zaman ini tidak bisa kalian ramalkan?"
57 (Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]
"Mengapa kalian tidak memutuskan sendiri apa yang benar?
58 [If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.
Kalau ada orang mengadukan kalian ke pengadilan, berusahalah sedapat-dapatnya untuk menyelesaikan perkara itu dengan dia sementara kalian masih di tengah jalan. Kalau tidak, nanti ia menyeret kalian ke hadapan hakim dan hakim itu akan menyerahkan kalian kepada polisi, dan polisi memasukkan kalian ke dalam penjara.
59 I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
Percayalah! Kalian tidak akan keluar dari penjara sebelum dendamu lunas."
