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].
Sementara itu begitu banyak orang yang berkumpul sehingga mereka saling menginjak. Yesus mulai berbicara kepada murid-murid-Nya terlebih dahulu. “Berhati-hatilah terhadap ragi orang Farisi — kemunafikan.
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}.
Sebab tidak ada satupun yang tersembunyi yang tidak akan disingkapkan, tidak ada rahasia yang tidak akan dibukakan.
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.”
Apa pun yang kalian katakan dalam kegelapan akan terdengar dalam terang, dan apapun yang kalian bisikan dengan diam-diam, akan diumumkan ke mana-mana.
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].
Saya beritahu kalian, kawan-kawan, janganlah takut kepada mereka yang hanya bisa membunuh tubuh kalian saja, sebab sesudah mereka melakukannya, tidak ada perbuatan lain lagi yang bisa mereka lakukan.
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)
Biar Aku perjelas kepada kalian kepada siapa kalian harus takut. Kalian harus takut pada orang yang setelah dia membunuh memiliki kekuatan untuk menghancurkan mereka di Gehenna. (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}!
Bukankah lima burung pipit dijual dengan harga dua penni? Tetapi Allah tidak melupakan satu ekorpun dari mereka.
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].
Bahkan rambut di atas kepalamu pun sudah dihitung-Nya. Jangan takut — kalian jauh lebih berharga dibandingkan 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.
Saya katakan yang sebenarnya, mereka yang menyatakan bahwa mereka adalah milik saya, Anak manusia juga akan menyatakan bahwa mereka adalah miliknya di hadapan para 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 mereka yang menyangkal saya akan ditolak di hadapan para 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].
Setiap orang yang berbicara melawan Anak Manusia akan dimaafkan, tetapi setiap orang yang menghujat Roh Kudus tidak akan dimaafkan.
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,
Apabila kalian dibawa ke pengadilan di hadapan para penguasa, pemimpin agama dan pemerintahan, janganlah kuatir tentang cara membela dirimu sendiri, ataupun apa yang harus kamu katakan.
12 because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
Roh Kudus akan mengajarkan kamu langsung pada saat itu juga hal-hal penting yang harus kamu katakan.”
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!”
Seseorang di dalam kerumunan itu bertanya kepada Yesus, “Guru, tolong beri tahu saudara laki-laki saya untuk berbagi warisan dengan saya.”
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]”
“Teman,” jawab Yesus, “Siapakah yang menunjuk Aku menjadi hakim bagi kalian untuk membagikan warisan yang kalian dapatkan?” Katanya kepada orang-orang yang ada di sana,
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.”
“Waspadalah, dan berjaga-jagalah dari setiap pikiran dan tindakan yang memperlihatkan keserakahan, sebab hidup seseorang tidaklah diukur dengan banyaknya barang yang mereka miliki.”
16 Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
Lalu Yesus menceritakan kepada mereka sebuah kisah. “Ada seorang kaya yang memiliki sebidang tanah yang sangat memberikan hasil yang melimpah.
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 itu berkata kepada dirinya sendiri, ‘Apa yang harus aku lakukan? Aku sudah tidak punya tempat untuk menyimpan hasil panenku.’
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].
‘Aku tahu apa yang harus aku lakukan,’ katanya sendiri. ‘Aku akan meruntuhkan tempat penyimpanan yang lama dan membangun kembali tempat penyimpanan yang lebih besar, maka aku akan bisa menyimpan seluruh hasil panenku dan segala kepunyaanku.
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]!”’
Dan saya akan bisa berkata kepada diriku sendiri: Kamu punya cukup banyak bekal untuk hidup dengan nyaman selama bertahun-tahun, karena itu santai saja: makan, minum, 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 orang bodoh! Hidupmu akan diambil malam ini juga, maka siapa yang akan mendapatkan segala milikmu yang kamu simpan?’
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.”
Inilah yang akan terjadi kepada mereka yang menumpuk harta bagi diri mereka sendiri, tetapi mereka tidak menjadi kaya di hadapan 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.
Kata Yesus kepada murid-murid-Nya, “Itu sebabnya Aku katakan kepada kalian untuk tidak kuatir tentang hidup ini, tentang makanan, ataupun pakaian yang harus 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 itu lebih dari sekedar makanan, dan tubuh lebih dari sekedar 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]!
Lihatlah burung gagak itu. Mereka tidak menabur ataupun menuai, mereka tidak memiliki tempat untuk menyimpan makanan mereka, namun Allah memberi mereka makan. Dan kalian jauh lebih berharga dibandingkan dengan burung-burung itu!
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]
Bisakah kalian menambah masa hidup kalian satu jam dengan menguatirkan hal-hal itu?
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]
Jika kalian tidak dapat melakukan apa pun tentang hal-hal kecil seperti itu, mengapa khawatir tentang sisanya?
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].
Lihatlah bunga lili dan cara mereka bertumbuh. Mereka tidak bekerja, dan mereka tidak memintal benang untuk pakaian mereka, tetapi Aku katakan kepada kalian, bahkan Salomo pun dalam segala kemegahannya tidaklah berpakaian seindah dari salah satu 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?
Jadi jika Allah mendandani padang-padang dengan bunga-bunga yang indah, yang hari ini ada dan besok hilang karena dibakar dalam api untuk menghangatkan tungku, betapa lebih lagi Allah akan mendandani kalian, hai orang yang kurang percaya!
29 Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
Janganlah kuatir tentang apa yang akan kalian makan atau minum — jangan kuatir tentang itu.
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 ini adalah yang dikuatirkan oleh mereka yang tidak percaya, tetapi Bapamu yang di surga tahu kamu membutuhkan semua ini.
31 Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
Carilah kerajaan Allah, dan kalian akan diberikan hal-hal ini juga.
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].
Janganlah takut, para pengikut-Ku, sebab Bapamu dengan senang hati memberikan kepada kalian kerajaan itu.
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.
Jualah harta milikmu, dan berikanlah uangnya kepada orang miskin. Dapatkan sendiri dompet yang tidak aus — tempat penyimpanan harta yang tidak pernah rusak, yaitu harta di surga yang tidak akan pernah habis, dimana pencuri tidak bisa mencurinya, dan ngengat tidak bisa merusaknya.
34 Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
Sebab apa yang paling kamu hargai menunjukkan siapa kamu sebenarnya.
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.
Bersiaplah selalu, dan biarkan lilinmu menyala,
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.
seperti seorang pelayan yang menunggu kepulangan tuannya dari tempat pesta, bersiap untuk membukakan pintu dengan cepat baginya, ketika majikannya pulang dan mengetuk 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.
Betapa baiknya untuk pelayan yang ketika tuannya kembali melihat mereka berjaga-jaga. Aku katakan sejujurnya kepada kalian, majikannya itu akan bersiap-siap, membuat mereka duduk di meja, dan pada akhirnya melayani mereka seperti mereka melayani dia!
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.
Bahkan ketika dia pulang saat tengah malam, ataupun sebelum subuh — betapa baik bagi mereka jika tuannya menemukan mereka berjaga-jaga dan siap sedia!
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]}.
Tetapi ingatlah ini: jika tuannya tahu waktunya seorang pencuri akan datang, dia pasti akan berjaga-jaga, dan tidak akan membiarkan rumahnya dimasuki oleh pencuri itu.
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].”
Demikian juga kalian harus siap, sebab Anak Manusia datang di waktu yang paling tidak kalian harapkan.”
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
“Apakah kisah ini Engkau ceritakan khusus untuk kami, atau untuk 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].
Jawab Yesus, “Siapakah pengawas yang bijak dan bisa diandalkan, bukankah dia adalah orang yang tuannya percayakan untuk mengelola makanan yang bisa dibagikan pada waktu yang tepat?
43 If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
Betapa baiknya bagi pelayan itu jika ketika tuannya kembali dan menemukan dia bekerja seperti yang seharusnya.
44 I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
Aku katakan sejujurnya kepada kalian, tuannya itu akan mengangkat pelayannya menjadi pengawas untuk mengelola harta miliknya.
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 apa jadinya jika pelayan itu berkata kepada dirinya sendiri, ‘Tuanku akan pergi sangat lama,’ dan mulai memukuli pelayan-pelayan lain, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, berpesta dan mabuk-mabukan?
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.
Ketika tuannya kembali di saat yang tidak dia duga, dia akan menghukumnya dengan kejam, memperlakukan dia sebagai orang yang benar-benar tidak dapat dipercaya.
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 memahami kehendak tuannya, namun tidak bersiap-siap ataupun mengikuti perintah tuannya, akan dipukuli dengan kejam,
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 kehendak tuannya, dan melakukan pelanggaran-pelanggaran, hanya akan mendapatkan hukuman ringan. Kepada mereka yang diberikan banyak hal, akan diminta memberi yang besar juga, dan kepada mereka yang dipercayakan dengan banyak hal, akan diminta pertanggungjawaban yang lebih besar juga.
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 menyalakan api di dunia ini, dan Aku benar-benar berharap api itu sudah menyala!
50 I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
Namun Aku harus menghadapi sebuah baptisan, dan Aku sangat kesakitan, berharap semua itu berakhir!
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.
Kalian pikir Aku datang untuk membawa damai ke dunia ini? Tidak, saya membawa perpecahan di antara orang-orang.
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 saat ini, jika ada lima anggota keluarga, maka tiga orang akan melawan yang dua orang.
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.”
Mereka akan saling bertentangan — ayah menentang anak laki-laki, anak laki-laki menentang ayahnya, ibu menentang anak perempuan, dan anak perempuan menentang ibunya, mertua perempuan menentang menantu perempuan, dan menantu perempuan menentang mertua perempuannya.”
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.
Lalu Yesus berbicara kepada orang banyak itu. “Ketika kalian melihat awan naik di sebelah barat, dengan segera kalian berkata, ‘akan turun hujan hari ini,’ dan itu terjadi.
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.
Ketika angin bertiup dari arah selatan, kalian berkata, ‘hari ini akan terasa panas,’ dan memang demikian terjadi.
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]!
Hai orang munafik, bagaimana bisa kalian tahu dengan benar untuk mengartikan cuaca tetapi kalian tidak tahu cara mengartikan saat-saat ini?
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 berpikir untuk diri kalian sendiri dan memilih jalan 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 penuduhmu mengadukan kamu ke pengadilan, buatlah kesepakatan sebelum hukum dijalankan. Jika tidak, kalian akan diseret ke hadapan hakim, dan hakim itu akan menyerahkan kalian kepada petugasnya yang akan memasukan 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].”
Aku katakan sejujurnya kepada kalian, kalian tidak akan keluar dari penjara itu sebelum kalian melunasi denda kalian.”
