Luke 21
1 [Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
Melihat ke sekelilingnya, Yesus memperhatikan orang-orang kaya yang melemparkan uang logam mereka ke kotak persembahan.
2 He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
Lalu Yesus juga melihat seorang janda yang sangat miskin memasukkan dua keping uang logam yang bernilai sangat kecil.
3 He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
“Sejujurnya Aku katakan kepada kalian,” kata Yesus, “Janda ini memberikan pesembahan lebih banyak dari jumlah seluruh persembahan dijadikan satu.
Setiap mereka memberikan sebagian dari kekayaan mereka, tetapi dia memberi dari kemiskinannya semua yang dia miliki untuk hidupnya.”
5 Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
Beberapa dari murid-murid berbicara tentang kemegahan rumah Tuhan, keindahan pekerjaan bangunannya dan hadiah-hadiah indah yang sudah diberikan. Tetapi Yesus berkata,
6 “[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
“Mengenai semua hal yang sedang kalian lihat ini. Waktunya sudah hampir tiba ketika tidak ada satu batu pun yang akan menumpuk di atas batu yang lain, segala sesuatunya akan dihancurkan!”
7 [Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
“Guru, kapankah hal itu akan terjadi?” tanya murid-murid kepada-Nya. “Apa tanda-tandanya bahwa segala sesuatu akan segera terjadi?”
8 He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
“Pastikanlah kalian tidak tertipu,” kata Yesus memperingatkan mereka. “Banyak orang akan datang mengaku sebagai saya, mengatakan, ‘Ini saya!’ dan, ‘Waktunya telah tiba!’ tetapi jangan ikuti mereka.
9 Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
Ketika kalian mendengar berita tentang peperangan dan pemberontakan, janganlah takut, sebab hal-hal itu haruslah terjadi lebih dahulu, tetapi masa akhir belumlah akan datang.”
10 Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
“Bangsa akan berperang melawan bangsa, dan kerajaan akan berperang melawan kerajaan,” kata Yesus.
11 There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
“Akan terjadi gempa bumi yang dahsyat, kelaparan, dan wabah penyakit di banyak negeri, juga tanda-tanda menyeramkan di langit.
12 But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
Tetapi sebelum hal-hal ini terjadi, mereka akan menangkap kalian dan menganiaya kalian. Mereka akan menyeret kalian ke depan rumah-rumah ibadah dan memasukkan kalian ke dalam penjara, dan mengadili kalian di hadapan raja-raja dan gubernur-gubernur karena Aku.
13 That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
Namun hal ini akan memberikan kepada kalian kesempatan untuk berbicara sebagai perwakilan-Ku di hadapan mereka.
14 So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
Jadi putuskanlah di dalam pikiranmu sebelumnya, untuk tidak kuatir bagaimana caramu membela diri,
15 because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
sebab Aku akan memberikan kata-kata bijaksana yang tidak bisa dibantah ataupun disanggah oleh lawan-lawanmu.
16 [And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
Kalian akan dikhianati bahkan oleh orang tua kalian, saudara-saudara sekandung, sanak keluarga, dan teman-teman kalian, dan beberapa akan membunuh kalian.
17 [In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
Dan setiap orang akan membenci kalian karena Aku.
18 But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
Tetapi tidak satu helai rambutmu akan hilang.
19 By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
Dengan tetap berdiri teguh pada pendirianmu, kalian menyelamatkan nyawa kalian.
20 “But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
Namun, ketika kalian melihat Yerusalem sudah dikepung oleh banyak pasukan, maka kalian tahu bahwa kehancuran sudah semakin dekat.
21 At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
Mereka yang tinggal di Yudea haruslah melarikan diri ke arah pegunungan, dan mereka yang tinggal di Yerusalem haruslah pergi, dan yang tinggal di pinggiran negeri janganlah masuk ke dalam kota.
22 [You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
Sebab hari-hari itu adalah hari penghukuman, unutk menggenapi semua yang sudah dituliskan sebelumnya.
23 [I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
Sungguh sulit bagi mereka yang sedang dalam kondisi hamil ataupun menyusui pada masa-masa itu! Sebab kesulitan yang mengerikan datang ke atas negeri dan hukuman atas orang-orang ini.
24 Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
Mereka akan dibunuh oleh pedang dan diangkut sebagai tawanan ke seluruh bangsa. Yerusalem akan diinjak-injak oleh bangsa-bangsa asing sampai waktunya terpenuhi.
25 “There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
Akan ada tanda-tanda pada matahari, bulan dan bintang-bintang, dan bangsa-bangsa di bumi akan tertekan, bingung akan laut yang bergelora dan menggelegar.
26 People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
Orang-orang akan pingsan ketakutan, ngeri tentang apa yang terjadi dengan dunia ini, sebab kuasa surga akan diguncangkan.
27 Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
Lalu mereka akan melihat Anak Manusia datang dalam awan-awan dengan penuh kuasa dan kemuliaan yang besar.
28 So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
Tetapi ketika peristiwa-peristiwa ini terjadi, berdirilah tegap dan menengadah, sebab itu tanda bahwa kalian akan segera diselamatkan.”
29 [Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
Lalu Yesus mengisahkan kepada mereka cerita ini. “Lihatlah pohon ara, ataupun pohon-pohon yang sejenis.
30 As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Ketika kalian melihat daun-daun yang baru bertunas, kalian langsung tahu bahwa musim panas sudah dekat.
31 Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
Demikian juga, ketika kalian melihat hal ini terjadi, kalian tidak perlu lagi diberi tahu bahwa Kerajaan Allah sudah dekat.
32 Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
Aku katakan kepada kalian sesungguhnya, generasi ini tidak akan berakhir sebelum semua ini terjadi.
33 [You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
Surga dan bumi akan berakhir, tetapi Firman-Ku adalah tetap untuk selama-lamanya.
34 “But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
Waspadalah sehingga perhatian kalian tidak dialihkan oleh pesta pora ataupun mabuk-mabukkan ataupun kesulitan di dunia ini, sehingga kalian menjadi terkejut ketika hari tiba.
35 [You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
Sebab hari ini akan dialami oleh semua orang yang hidup di permukaan bumi.
36 So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
Teruslah berjaga-jaga dan berdoalah, agar kalian mampu meloloskan diri dari semua yang akan terjadi dan tetap berdiri di hadapan Anak Manusia.”
37 Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
Setiap hari Yesus mengajar di rumah Tuhan, dan setiap sore Dia pergi dan menginap di Bukit Zaitun.
38 Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
Semua orang datang pada pagi hari ke rumah Tuhan untuk mendengarkan Dia.
