< Luke 5 >

1 One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
Pada suatu hari Yesus berdiri di tepi danau Galilea. Banyak orang berkumpul dan saling berdesakan di sekeliling-Nya karena mereka mau mendengarkan ajaran-Nya tentang Firman Allah.
2 He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
Dia melihat dua perahu di pinggir pantai. Nelayan-nelayannya sudah turun dari perahu itu dan sedang membersihkan jala mereka.
3 Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
Lalu Yesus naik ke salah satu perahu, yang adalah milik Petrus. Dia mengajak Petrus bertolak agak jauh dari pantai supaya ada jarak. Kemudian Yesus duduk di perahu itu dan mengajar orang banyak dari situ.
4 After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
Setelah selesai, Dia berkata kepada Petrus, “Dayunglah perahu ini ke tempat yang lebih dalam. Lalu tebarkanlah jala-jalamu di sana untuk menangkap ikan.”
5 Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
Jawab Petrus kepada-Nya, “Guru, sudah sepanjang malam kami bekerja keras dan tidak mendapatkan apa-apa. Tetapi karena Engkau yang mengatakannya, baiklah, saya dan anak buah saya akan menebar jala-jala kami.”
6 When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
Ketika mereka melakukannya, banyak sekali ikan yang tertangkap, sampai-sampai jala mereka hampir robek.
7 They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
Lalu Petrus dan para pekerjanya melambai-lambaikan tangan kepada teman-teman mereka di perahu lain untuk datang membantu. Mereka pun datang dan menolong Petrus serta anak buahnya mengangkat ikan-ikan itu. Kedua perahu mereka terisi begitu penuh sampai hampir tenggelam.
8 Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
Melihat keajaiban itu, sujudlah Petrus di depan Yesus dan berkata, “Tuhan, tinggalkanlah saya, karena saya ini orang berdosa.”
9
Dia berkata begitu karena takjub melihat banyaknya ikan yang mereka dapat. Semua orang yang bersamanya juga terheran-heran,
10 But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
termasuk teman-teman sekerja Petrus yang tadi dipanggil, yaitu Yakobus dan Yohanes, anak-anak Zebedeus. Lalu Yesus berkata kepada Petrus, “Jangan takut! Mulai sekarang kamu tidak lagi menjala ikan, tetapi Aku akan mengajar kamu untuk mengumpulkan orang menjadi pengikut-Ku.”
11 So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
Sesudah menarik kedua perahu mereka ke pinggir danau, Petrus, Yakobus, dan Yohanes meninggalkan semuanya dan mengikut Yesus.
12 While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
Suatu hari, Yesus berada di sebuah kota. Di sana tinggal seseorang yang tubuhnya penuh dengan penyakit kulit menular. Ketika melihat Yesus, sujudlah orang itu menyembah Dia dan memohon, “Tuhan, kalau Engkau mau, saya yakin Engkau pasti bisa menyembuhkan saya!”
13 [Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
Yesus mengulurkan tangan-Nya dan menyentuh orang itu sambil berkata, “Aku mau. Sembuhlah!” Saat itu juga penyakit kulitnya hilang.
14 Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
Lalu Yesus berkata, “Jangan ceritakan kejadian ini kepada siapa pun, tetapi pergi dan tunjukkanlah kulitmu kepada imam yang sedang bertugas. Lalu persembahkanlah kurban sesuai perintah Musa tentang orang yang sudah sembuh dari penyakit kulit. Dengan demikian semua orang akan tahu bahwa kamu betul-betul sudah sembuh.”
15 But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
Namun berita tentang Yesus semakin tersebar luas, sehingga orang banyak datang berbondong-bondong untuk mendengarkan Dia dan untuk meminta-Nya menyembuhkan penyakit mereka.
16 But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
Tetapi Yesus sering pergi menyendiri ke tempat yang sepi untuk berdoa.
17 One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
Pada suatu hari, Yesus sedang mengajar orang banyak di dalam sebuah rumah. Berbagai macam orang berkumpul di situ. Ada beberapa ahli Taurat dan anggota kelompok agama Yahudi yang disebut Farisi. Mereka datang dari Yerusalem dan setiap kota di provinsi Galilea dan Yudea. Kuasa Allah ada pada Yesus untuk menyembuhkan orang-orang sakit yang hadir. Tidak lama kemudian, datanglah beberapa orang menggotong seorang laki-laki yang lumpuh total dengan terbaring di atas tandu. Mereka berusaha membawa dia masuk untuk meletakkannya di hadapan Yesus, tetapi tidak bisa karena rumah itu penuh sesak dengan orang. Jadi, mereka naik ke atas atap, membongkarnya sebagian, lalu menurunkan orang lumpuh itu dengan tandunya ke hadapan Yesus di tengah orang banyak.
18 several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
Ketika Yesus memperhatikan bahwa mereka percaya penuh bahwa Dia sanggup menyembuhkan orang lumpuh itu, Dia berkata, “Saudara, Aku sudah mengampuni dosa-dosamu.”
21 The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
Mendengar itu, para ahli Taurat dan orang Farisi berkata dalam hati mereka, “Lancang sekali orang ini berkata begitu! Dia sudah menghina Allah! Tidak seorang pun dapat mengampuni dosa manusia selain Allah sendiri.”
22 Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
Saat itu juga Yesus tahu yang mereka pikirkan. Lalu Dia menegur mereka, “Aku tahu bahwa kalian diam-diam tidak setuju dengan yang Aku katakan tadi!
23 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
Tentu kalian sulit menerima ketika Aku berkata kepada orang lumpuh ini, ‘Aku sudah mengampuni dosa-dosamu.’ Apakah kalian lebih mudah menerima kalau Aku berkata kepadanya, ‘Bangun dan berjalanlah’?!
24 But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
Tetapi melalui perkataan yang akan Aku ucapkan ini, Aku hendak membuktikan kepada kalian bahwa Aku, Sang Anak Adam, berhak untuk mengampuni dosa manusia!” Lalu Yesus berkata kepada orang lumpuh itu, “Bangunlah, angkat tandumu, dan pulanglah!”
25 Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
Saat itu juga orang lumpuh itu berdiri di depan mereka. Dia mengangkat tandunya, lalu pulang sambil memuji-muji Allah.
26 All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
Semua orang sangat terheran-heran dan memuji Allah juga. Dengan penuh hormat dan rasa takut kepada Allah mereka berkata, “Hari ini kita sudah menyaksikan hal-hal yang luar biasa!”
27 Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
Sesudah itu Yesus keluar dan melihat seorang penagih pajak, yang bernama Matius, sedang duduk di tempat kerjanya. Yesus berkata kepadanya, “Mari, ikutlah Aku.”
28 So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
Matius pun berdiri, meninggalkan segala sesuatu yang ada di tempat kerjanya, dan mengikuti Yesus.
29 Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
Kemudian Matius mengadakan perjamuan makan besar bagi Yesus di rumahnya. Banyak penagih pajak dan orang-orang lain makan bersama mereka.
30 The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Melihat itu, orang-orang Farisi dan para ahli Taurat bersungut-sungut kepada murid-murid-Nya, “Kenapa kalian makan dan minum bersama para penagih pajak dan orang-orang berdosa yang lain?”
31 Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
Yesus menjawab mereka, “Orang sehat tidak memerlukan dokter. Yang memerlukan dokter adalah orang sakit.
32 [Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
Karena itu Aku datang untuk memanggil orang-orang berdosa supaya bertobat, bukan untuk orang-orang yang merasa dirinya benar!”
33 [Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
Lalu ada beberapa orang yang berkata kepada Yesus, “Murid-murid Yohanes sering berdoa dan berpuasa. Begitu juga anggota kelompok Farisi. Tetapi murid-muridmu terus makan dan minum.”
34 [To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
Jawab Yesus, “Dalam suatu pesta pernikahan, tidak mungkin tamu-tamunya disuruh berpuasa selama pengantin laki-laki masih ada bersama mereka! Begitu juga selama Aku masih bersama murid-murid-Ku, mereka tidak akan berpuasa.
35 [But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Tetapi bayangkan apa yang akan terjadi kalau pengantin laki-laki itu dirampas dari mereka. Hal itulah yang akan terjadi pada-Ku, dan saat itulah murid-murid-Ku akan berpuasa sebagai tanda dukacita.”
36 Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
Yesus juga memberikan dua kiasan ini kepada mereka, “Kalau seseorang mempunyai baju lama yang sudah robek, tidak mungkin dia menambalnya dengan kain yang diambil dari baju baru, karena dia tidak mau merusak baju barunya itu. Lagipula kain yang baru tidak akan cocok untuk menambal baju lama.
37 Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
Begitu juga air anggur yang baru tidak akan dimasukkan ke dalam kantong kulit yang lama. Karena waktu air anggur itu menguap dan udaranya tidak bisa keluar, kantong itu akan rusak. Akhirnya air anggur akan tumpah dan kantong kulit itu pun terbuang.
38 On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
Karena itu, air anggur yang baru harus dimasukkan ke dalam kantong kulit yang baru juga, supaya kedua-duanya terjaga.
39 Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
Tetapi orang yang sudah pernah minum anggur lama tidak akan langsung mau menerima anggur yang baru, karena menurut dia anggur yang lama lebih enak.”
