Luke 13
1 Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
Sekitar waktu ini beberapa orang memberitahukan Yesus mengenai Pilatus yang membunuh beberapa orang Galilea sementara mereka sedang memberikan kurban persembahan di rumah Tuhan.
2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
“Apakah menurut kalian orang-orang Galilea yang mengalami penderitaan seperti ini memiliki dosa yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan orang-orang Galilea lainnya?” kata Yesus kepada mereka.
3 I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
“Tidak, Aku katakan sejujurnya. Tetapi kecuali kalian bertobat, kalian semua juga akan binasa.
4 Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
Bagaimana dengan 18 orang yang terbunuh ketika menara di Siloam jatuh menimpa mereka? Apakah menurut kalian mereka orang-orang yang paling jahat dari antara seluruh penduduk Yerusalem?
5 I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
Tidak. Tetapi kecuali kalian bertobat, kalian juga akan binasa.”
6 Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
Lalu Yesus memberikan kisah ini sebagai gambaran bagi mereka. “Suatu ketika ada seorang laki-laki yang memiliki pohon ara di kebun anggurnya. Datanglah dia ke kebun itu untuk mencari buah ara, tetapi tidak didapatinya.
7 Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
Maka berkatalah si laki-laki ini kepada tukang kebunnya, ‘Dengar, sudah tiga tahun saya mengharapkan buah dari pohon ara ini, namun saya tidak mendapatkannya. Tebanglah pohon itu! Mengapa harus memakan tempat?’
8 But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
‘Tuan,’ jawab si tukang kebun, ‘Tolonglah bersabar satu tahun lagi. Aku akan menggali tanah di sekeliling pohon itu dan memberinya pupuk lebih banyak.
9 If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
Semoga pohon itu bisa berbuah. Tetapi jika tidak, maka akan kita tebang saja.’”
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Pada suatu hari Sabat, Yesus sedang mengajar di rumah ibadah,
11 There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
dan di sana ada seorang perempuan yang menjadi cacat karena dirasuki oleh setan selama delapan belas tahun. Tubuhnya menjadi bungkuk, dan dia tidak bisa berdiri tegak.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
Ketika Yesus melihat perempuan itu, Dia memanggilnya, dan berkata, “Kamu sudah sembuh.”
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
Lalu diletakkan-Nya tangan-Nya atas perempuan itu, dan dengan segera perempuan itu menegakkan tubuhnya, dan memuji Allah.
14 But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
Namun demikian, sang pemimpin rumah ibadah gundah sebab Yesus menyembuhkan seseorang pada hari Sabat. Katanya kepada orang banyak, “Ada enam hari untuk bekerja. Datang dan disembuhkanlah pada hari-hari itu, tidak pada hari Sabat.”
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
Tetapi Tuhan menjawab dia, “Dasar munafik! Bukankah setiap kalian membuka ikatan lembu atau keledai kalian dari kandang dan membawanya untuk minum?
16 This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
Mengapa tidak perempuan ini, anak perempuan Abraham yang sudah diikat setan selama delapan belas tahun, dilepaskan pada hari Sabat?”
17 After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
Perkataan Yesus membuat malu para lawannya, tetapi mereka yang ada dalam kerumunan senang dengan segala perbuatan ajaib yang dia lakukan.
18 Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
Lalu Yesus bertanya, “Jadi seperti apakah Kerajaan Allah itu? Dengan apa Aku harus membandingkannya?
19 It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
Kerajaan Allah seumpama benih sesawi yang ditanam seorang petani di kebunnya. Benih itu tumbuh menjadi sebuah pohon, dan burung-burung datang dan membangun sarang pada cabang-cabangnya.”
20 Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
Yesus bertanya lagi, “Dengan apakah Aku harus membandingkan Kerajaan Allah?
21 It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Kerajaan Allah itu seperti ragi yang dimasukkan seorang perempuan ke dalam tiga belas liter tepung agar seluruh adonan mengembang.”
22 [Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
Yesus mengajar ke kota-kota kecil dan ke desa-desa, sambil melanjutkan perjalanan-Nya ke Yerusalem.
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
Ada yang bertanya kepada-Nya, “Tuhan, apakah hanya sedikit orang yang akan diselamatkan?” Jawab Yesus,
24 [Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
“Cobalah dengan sekuat tenagamu untuk masuk melalui pintu yang sempit itu, sebab sejujurnya Aku katakan, banyak yang akan mencoba untuk melewatinya, tetapi sedikit yang berhasil.
25 [God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
Ketika pemilik rumah bangun dan menutup pintu, kalian hanya akan berdiri di luar rumah dan berseru, ‘Tuan, tolong bukakan pintu bagi kami.’ Tetapi dia hanya akan menjawab, ‘Aku tidak mengenal kalian ataupun asal kalian.’
26 Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
Dan kalian akan berkata, ‘Tetapi kami makan dan minum bersamamu, dan kamu mengajar di jalan-jalan kami!’
27 But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
Jawabnya, ‘Aku sudah katakan, aku tidak mengenalmu ataupun asalmu. Pergilah dariku, hai kalian semua yang tidak melakukan perbuatan yang benar!’
28 Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
Akan ada tangisan dan kertakan gigi ketika kalian melihat Abraham, Ishak, Yakub dan semua nabi di kerajaan Allah tetapi kalian diusir.
29 Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
Orang-orang akan datang dari ke empat penjuru angin, dan mereka kan duduk dan makan dalam Kerajaan Allah.
30 Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
Sebab yang terakhir akan menjadi yang pertama, dan yang pertama akan menjadi yang terakhir.”
31 At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
Pada saat itu, beberapa orang Farisi datang menemui Yesus dan berkata, “Engkau harus meninggalkan tempat ini. Raja Herodes ingin membunuh-Mu!”
32 He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
Yesus menjawab mereka, “Pergi dan beritahu rubah itu bahwa Aku akan terus mengusir setan dan menyembuhkan orang-orang pada hari ini dan esok hari, dan pada hari yang ke tiga, Aku sudah menyelesaikan maksud-Ku datang ke sini.
33 But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
Bagaimanapun juga Aku harus meneruskan perjalanan-Ku untuk hari ini, besok dan lusa. Sebab tidak benar tempatnya jika seorang nabi mati di luar kota Yerusalem!
34 [Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
Yerusalem, Yerusalem, kamu yang membunuhi para nabi dan menimpuki dengan batu orang-orang yang dikirm kepadamu! Betapa sering Aku ingin mengumpulkan anak-anakmu seperti seekor induk ayam yang mengumpulkan anak-anaknya di bawah sayapnya, tetapi kamu menolaknya.
35 So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
Dengar, rumahmu ditinggalkan, dan sejujurnya Aku katakan kepadamu, bahwa kamu tidak akan melihat Aku lagi, sampai kamu berkata, ‘Diberkatilah Dia yang datang dalam nama Tuhan.’”
