Luke 16
1 [Jesus] also said to his disciples, “Once there was a rich man who had a household manager. [One day] he was told {[someone] told him} that [the manager] was managing the rich man’s money badly.
Yesus memberikan perumpamaan lagi kepada murid-murid-Nya, “Ada seorang kaya yang mempunyai seorang bendahara untuk mengurus hartanya. Orang kaya itu mendengar berita bahwa bendaharanya menghambur-hamburkan kekayaannya.
2 So he summoned [his manager] and said to him, ‘(It is terrible what they are saying about you [(sg)]!/Is it true what they are saying about you [(sg)] [RHQ]?) Give me a written account of [the funds] you have been managing, because you can no longer be my [household] manager!’
Lalu dia memanggil bendaharanya itu dan berkata, ‘Saya sudah mendapat laporan buruk tentang pekerjaanmu. Karena itu saya akan memecat kamu. Tetapi sebelumnya berikanlah dulu laporan tentang semua harta saya yang sudah kamu urus.’
3 Then the manager thought to himself, ‘My master is going to fire me, so (I do not know what to do./what shall I do [RHQ]?) I am not strong enough to [work by] digging ditches, and I am ashamed to beg [for money].’
“Lalu bendahara itu berkata dalam hatinya, ‘Gawat! Tuan akan memecatku. Apa yang harus aku lakukan sekarang?! Menjadi tukang kebun, aku tidak kuat. Kalau mengemis, aku malu!’
4 [Suddenly he had an idea]. ‘I know what I will do, so that people will take me into their houses [and provide for me] after I am dismissed {after my master dismisses me} from my work!’
Setelah berpikir-pikir, dia pun memutuskan, ‘Baiklah, sekarang aku tahu harus bagaimana! Aku akan mengakali supaya orang-orang yang berhutang kepada majikanku mau menerimaku di rumah mereka, sesudah aku dipecat dari jabatan bendahara.’
5 So [one by one] he summoned the people who owed his master money. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you [(sg)] owe my master?’
“Lalu dia memanggil setiap orang yang berhutang kepada tuannya. Kepada orang pertama dia berkata, ‘Berapa hutangmu kepada tuan saya?’
6 The man replied, ‘Eight hundred gallons of olive oil.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down and quickly change it to 400 [gallons]!’
Jawab orang itu, ‘Seratus tempayan minyak zaitun.’ “Lalu bendahara itu berkata, ‘Sobat, ini surat hutangmu. Duduklah dan segeralah tulis di situ menjadi lima puluh tempayan saja!’
7 He said to another man, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A thousand bushels of wheat.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to 800 [bushels]!’ [He did similar things for the others who owed his master money].
“Kepada orang berikutnya, bendahara itu bertanya, ‘Berapa hutangmu?’ “Jawab orang itu, ‘Seribu keranjang gandum.’ “Katanya kepada orang itu, ‘Sobat, ini surat hutangmu. Tulislah di situ menjadi delapan ratus saja!’
8 When his master [heard what the manager had done], he admired the dishonest manager for the clever thing he had done. [The truth] is that the ungodly people in this world act more wisely toward other people than godly people [MET] act. (aiōn g165)
“Ketika orang kaya itu mengetahui tindakan bendaharanya yang tidak jujur, dia berkata, ‘Wah, cerdik juga dia!’” Lalu Yesus menjelaskan kepada murid-murid-Nya, “Memang biasanya orang-orang yang hidupnya hanya memikirkan dunia ini lebih cerdik mengurus masalah duniawi daripada orang-orang yang sudah menjadi warga Kerajaan Terang, yaitu kerajaan Allah. (aiōn g165)
9 [So] I tell you [(pl)] this: Use the money that you have [here] on earth to help others so that they will become your friends. Then when [you die and] you cannot [take] any money with you, [God and his angels] will welcome you into a home [in heaven] that will last forever. (aiōnios g166)
Karena itu Aku menegaskan: Biarpun kekayaan dunia ini cenderung membawamu ke dalam dosa, gunakanlah itu untuk mempererat hubunganmu dengan Sahabat Surgawi, supaya ketika habis waktumu di dunia ini, kamu akan diterima di rumah-rumah surgawi. (aiōnios g166)
10 People who faithfully manage small [matters] will also faithfully manage important [matters]. People who are dishonest in [the way they handle] small [matters] will be dishonest [in the way they handle] important [matters].
“Setiap orang yang bisa dipercaya dalam hal-hal kecil juga akan bisa dipercaya dalam hal-hal besar. Dan setiap orang yang tidak jujur dalam hal-hal kecil juga tidak akan jujur dalam hal-hal besar.
11 So if you have not faithfully handled the money that [God has given you here] on earth, (he will certainly not allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven!]/would he allow you to possess the true [spiritual] riches [in heaven]?) [RHQ]
Jadi, kalau kamu ternyata tidak bisa dipercaya untuk mengurus harta duniawi dengan jujur, maka Allah tidak akan mempercayakan harta surgawi kepadamu.
12 And if you have not faithfully managed things that belong to other people, ([God] will certainly not allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you!/would God allow you to receive [treasures in heaven that] would belong to you?) [RHQ]
Dan kalau ternyata kamu tidak bisa dipercaya untuk mengurus harta yang sebenarnya bukan milikmu tetapi milik Allah, maka kamu tidak akan diizinkan memiliki apa pun di surga.
13 No servant is able to serve two [different] bosses [at the same time. If he tried to do that], he would prefer one of them more than the other one; he would be loyal to one of them and despise the other one. [Similarly], you cannot [devote your life] to worshipping God and [worshipping] money and material goods [at the same time].”
“Perhatikanlah contoh ini: Tidak mungkin kamu bisa bekerja pada dua majikan sekaligus. Karena kamu pasti akan mengasihi dan mengutamakan yang satu, tetapi membenci dan mengabaikan yang lain. Demikian juga, kamu tidak bisa menjadi hamba Allah sekaligus hamba uang.”
14 There were some Pharisees [there]. They loved [to acquire] money. When they heard Jesus say that, they ridiculed him.
Ketika orang-orang Farisi mendengar ajaran-Nya itu, mereka mengejek Yesus, karena mereka cinta uang.
15 But he said to them, “You try to make other people think that you are righteous, but God knows your (inner beings/hearts). [So he will reject you. Keep in mind that many] things that people think are important, God thinks are detestable.
Lalu kata Yesus kepada mereka, “Kalian selalu berusaha supaya kelihatan baik agar dipuji orang, tetapi Allah tahu isi hatimu! Karena segala hal duniawi yang dipuji oleh manusia dibenci oleh Allah.
16 The laws that [God gave Moses] and what the prophets [MTY] [wrote] were ([in effect/what you needed to obey]) until John [the Baptizer] came. Since then [I] have been preaching about how God wants to [rule people’s lives in a new way], and many people are [accepting that message and] very eagerly asking God to control [their lives. But that does not mean that God has abolished the laws that he established previously].
“Hukum Taurat dan tulisan para nabi sudah menyatakan kehendak Allah bagi manusia, sejak zaman penulisannya sampai zaman Yohanes Pembaptis. Sesudah itu, Yohanes dan Aku datang membawa Kabar Baik tentang kerajaan Allah, dan banyak orang berusaha menerobos untuk memasukinya.
17 [All of God’s] laws, [even those that seem] insignificant, are more permanent than heaven and earth.
Namun, Aku tidak akan menghilangkan apa pun dari hukum Taurat, meski hanya satu titik. Lebih mudah langit dan bumi hilang lenyap daripada satu titik dalam hukum Taurat ditiadakan.
18 [For example, because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery. He also [considers that] any man who marries a woman who has been divorced by her husband {whose husband has divorced her} is [also] committing adultery.”
“Setiap suami yang menceraikan istrinya lalu menikah lagi dengan perempuan lain, maka laki-laki itu berzina. Dan laki-laki yang menikahi perempuan yang diceraikan suaminya, dia juga berzina.”
19 [Jesus also said] [MET], “Once there was a rich man who wore [expensive] purple linen [garments]. He ate luxuriously every day.
Yesus mengajar mereka dengan perumpamaan lain, “Ada seorang kaya yang selalu memakai jubah indah dari kain halus. Setiap hari dia memuaskan keinginannya dengan hidup serba mewah.
20 And every day a poor man whose name was Lazarus was laid {[some people also] laid a poor man whose name was Lazarus} at the gate of the rich man’s [house]. Lazarus’ body was covered with sores.
Di depan rumah orang kaya itu, ada seorang pengemis bernama Lazarus yang sering dibawa dan dibaringkan di sana. Badannya penuh dengan luka bernanah dan busuk.
21 He [was so hungry that he] wanted to eat the scraps [of food] that fell from the table where the rich man [ate]. Furthermore, [to make things worse], dogs came and licked his sores.
Lazarus sangat lapar dan hanya berharap bisa makan sisa-sisa makanan yang jatuh terbuang dari meja makan orang kaya itu. Dan yang lebih mengenaskan, anjing-anjing biasa datang menjilati luka-lukanya.
22 [Eventually] the poor man died. Then he was taken by the angels {the angels took him} to [start feasting] next to his [ancestor] Abraham. The rich man also died, and his body was buried {[some people] buried his body}.
“Suatu hari matilah Lazarus. Lalu para malaikat mengantar jiwanya ke tempat yang terhormat di samping Abraham. Orang kaya itu juga mati lalu dikuburkan.
23 In the place where dead people wait [for God to judge them], he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham. (Hadēs g86)
Sementara jiwa orang kaya itu tersiksa di dalam neraka, dia melihat ke atas. Dari jauh tampaklah Abraham bersama Lazarus, yang duduk di tempat terhormat di sampingnya. (Hadēs g86)
24 So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, I am suffering very much in this fire! So [please] pity me, and send Lazarus [here] so that he can dip his finger in water [and touch] my tongue to cool it!’
Kemudian orang kaya itu berteriak, katanya, ‘Bapak Abraham, kasihanilah saya! Saya sangat tersiksa di dalam api ini! Tolong suruhlah Lazarus memberikan air untuk menyegarkan lidah saya, walau hanya setetes saja.’
25 But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that while you [(sg)] were alive [on earth] you enjoyed [many] good things. But Lazarus was miserable. Now [it is fair that] he is happy here, and you are suffering.
“Tetapi jawab Abraham, ‘Nak, ingatlah! Kamu sudah puas menerima hal-hal yang baik selama hidup di dunia. Sedangkan Lazarus hanya menerima hal-hal yang buruk. Sungguh adil kalau sekarang dia terhibur di sini sedangkan kamu tersiksa di sana.
26 Besides that, there is a huge ravine between you [(sg)] and us. So those who want to go from here to where you [(sg)] are, are not able to. Furthermore, no one can cross from there to where we [(exc)] are.’
Selain itu, di antara kami dan kamu dibuat jurang yang sangat dalam, sehingga tidak ada orang yang bisa menyeberang dari sini ke sana ataupun sebaliknya.’
27 Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father [Abraham], I ask you [(sg)] to send [Lazarus] to my father’s house.
“Kata orang kaya itu, ‘Kalau begitu, saya mohon kepada Bapak untuk menyuruh Lazarus pergi ke rumah orangtua saya
28 I have five brothers [who live there]. Tell him to warn them [to turn away from their sinful behavior so that] they do not also come to this place, where [we(exc)] suffer great pain!’
dan menemui lima saudara saya yang masih hidup. Suruhlah Lazarus memperingatkan mereka, supaya mereka jangan sampai ikut masuk ke tempat yang penuh penderitaan ini!’
29 But Abraham replied, ‘[No, I will not do that, because your brothers] are able to [go to the Jewish meeting places where the priests] read what Moses and the prophets [wrote]. They should listen to what Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote]!’
“Tetapi Abraham berkata, ‘Bagi mereka sudah ada kitab-kitab Taurat Musa dan para nabi. Biarlah mereka menaati yang tertulis di situ.’
30 But the rich man replied, ‘No, father Abraham, [that will not be enough] But if someone from those who have died goes back to them [and warns them], they will turn from their sinful behavior.’
“Kata orang kaya itu, ‘Bapak Abraham, itu saja tidak cukup! Tetapi kalau ada seseorang yang sudah mati datang dan memperingatkan mereka, mereka akan bertobat.’
31 [Abraham] said to him, ‘No! If they do not listen to [what] [MTY] Moses and the prophets [MTY] [wrote], even if someone would become alive again [and go and warn them], they would not be convinced {he could not convince them} [that they should turn from their sinful behavior].’”
“Tetapi Abraham menjawabnya, ‘Kalau mereka sudah tidak mau menaati kitab Taurat Musa dan para nabi, maka percuma saja ada orang yang bangkit dari kematian, karena mereka tetap tidak akan percaya.’”
