Luke 9
1 [One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
Yesus kemudian memanggil kedua belas murid-Nya berkumpul. Dia memberikan kepada mereka kuasa dan otoritas atas semua setan, dan kemampuan untuk menyembuhkan penyakit.
2 [Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
Lalu Dia mengutus mereka untuk memberitakan tentang Kerajaan Allah dan menyembuhkan orang sakit.
3 he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
“Jangan membawa apapun juga dalam perjalanan kalian,” kata-Nya kepada mereka. “Baik tongkat, tas, roti, uang, ataupun juga baju ganti.
4 Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
Pada rumah manapun yang kalian masuki, tinggallah di sana, dan ketika kalian melanjutkan perjalanan, berangkatlah dari tempat itu juga.
5 [In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
Jika orang-orang menolak untuk menerima kalian, kibaskanlah debu dari kaki kalian sebagai tanda peringatan terhadap mereka.”
6 Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
Dan mereka pergi berkeliling ke desa-desa, memberitakan tentang kabar baik itu dan menyembuhkan banyak orang, kemanapun mereka pergi.
7 Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
Raja Herodes sudah mendengar segala sesuatu yang terjadi, dan dia sangat kebingungan. Beberapa orang berkata bahwa Yohanes Pembaptis sudah bangkit dari kematian;
8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
ada yang mengatakan Elia telah muncul; ada juga yang berkata, Yesus adalah salah satu nabi jaman dulu yang hidup kembali.
9 But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
Herodes berkata, “Aku sudah memenggal kepala Yohanes Pembaptis. Jadi siapa orang ini? Aku mendengarkan segala perbuatan yang dilakukan orang ini.” Herodes mulai mencari cara untuk bertemu dengan Yesus.
10 When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
Ketika para rasul itu kembali dari perjalanan mereka, mereka memberitahu Yesus segala sesuatu yang sudah mereka lakukan. Lalu Yesus pergi bersama mereka menuju kota Betsaida.
11 But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
Namun, orang menemukan itu tahu kemana tujuan Yesus dan mengikuti Dia. Yesus menyambut mereka dan menjelaskan kepada mereka tentang Kerajaan Allah, serta menyembuhkan banyak orang yang sakit.
12 Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
Ketika hari hampir gelap, datanglah murid-murid-Nya kepadanya dan berkata, “Guru, Engkau harus mengirim orang banyak ini pergi agar mereka bisa datang ke desa-desa dan pertanian-pertanian di sekitar sini. Dengan demikian mereka bisa menemukan tempat untuk bermalam serta makanan untuk mereka makan — kita tidak punya apa-apa dengan kita.”
13 But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
“Kalian lah yang harus memberi mereka makan!” kata Yesus. “Kita hanya punya lima bongkah roti dan dua ekor ikan — kecuali Engkau ingin kami pergi dan membeli makanan untuk semua orang,” kata mereka.
14 There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
Di situ ada sekitar lima ribu orang laki-laki yang hadir. “Kumpulkan mereka per lima puluh orang dalam satu kelompok, dan mintalah agar mereka duduk,” kata Yesus kepada murid-murid-Nya.
15 After they told the people that, they all sat down.
Para murid-Nya melakukan yang diperintahkan kepada mereka, dan setiap orang duduk berkelompok.
16 Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
Yesus mengambil kelima roti dan dua ekor ikan itu, menengadah ke surga, memberkati makanannya dan memecah-mecahkannya menjadi potongan-potongan. Yesus terus menerus memberikan makanan kepada murid-murid-Nya untuk dibagikan kepada orang-orang.
17 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
Semua orang makan sampai mereka kenyang, dan masih ada sisa dua belas bakul makanan yang tersisa ketika dikumpulkan.
18 [One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
Pada suatu ketika, saat Yesus sedang berdoa bersama dengan ke dua belas rasulnya, bertanyalah Dia kepada mereka, “Menurut orang-orang banyak ini — siapakah Aku ini?”
19 They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
“Beberapa berkata Engkau adalah Yohanes Pembaptis, ada yang berkata bahwa Engkau adalah Elia, dan beberapa lagi berkata Engkau adalah salah satu nabi dari jaman dahulu yang bangkit dari kematian,” jawab mereka.
20 He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
“Tetapi bagaimana dengan kalian?” tanya Yesus. “Menurut kalian, siapa Aku ini?” “Engkau adalah Mesias Allah,” jawab Petrus.
21 Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
Dan Yesus melarang murid-murid-Nya untuk menceritakan hal ini kepada siapapun.
22 Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
“Anak manusia harus mengalami penderitaan yang luar biasa,” kata-Nya. “Dia akan ditolak oleh para pemimpin, imam kepala, dan para pengajar agama. Dia akan dibunuh, tetapi pada hari yang ketiga dia akan bangkit kembali.”
23 Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
“Jika ada di antara kamu yang ingin mengikuti Aku, kamu harus menyangkal dirimu sendiri, memikul salibmu setiap hari, dan mengikuti Aku,” kata Yesus kepada mereka.
24 You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
“Sebab jika kamu ingin menyelamatkan hidup kamu, kamu akan kehilangannya; dan jika kamu kehilangan hidup kamu demi saya, kamu akan menyelamatkannya.
25 People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Keuntungan apa yang kalian dapat sekalipun kalian memiliki seluruh dunia ini, tetapi pada akhirnya kalian kalah dan dihancurkan?
26 Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
Jika kamu malu tentang Aku dan pengajaran-Ku, maka Aku juga akan malu mengakui kamu ketika Aku datang dalam kemuliaan-Ku, dan dalam kemuliaan Bapa-Ku dengan para malaikat-Nya.
27 But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Sejujurnya Aku katakan kepada kalian. Beberapa dari antara kalian yang berdiri di sini akan masih hidup sampai mereka melihat kerajaan Allah.”
28 About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
Sekitar delapan hari kemudian, sesudah Yesus mengatakan semua ini, Dia membawa Petrus, Yohanes dan Yakobus bersama-Nya untuk berdoa di gunung.
29 As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
Sementara Yesus berdoa, tampilan wajah-Nya berubah, dan pakaian-Nya menjadi putih berkilauan.
30 Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
Dan dua orang hadir dengan kemuliaan yang terang benderang. Mereka adalah Musa dan Elia, dan mereka mulai berbicara dengan Yesus.
Mereka sedang berbicara tentang kematian Yesus, yang akan segera terjadi di Yerusalem.
32 Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
Petrus dan kedua lainnya sedang tertidur. Ketika mereka terbangun, mereka melihat Yesus dalam kemuliaannya, dan juga kedua orang yang berdiri di sisi-Nya.
33 As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
Ketika kedua orang itu hendak berangkat, berkatalah Petrus kepada Yesus, “Guru, sungguh luar biasa bisa ada di sini. Mari buat beberapa tempat penampungan, satu untuk-Mu, satu untuk Musa dan satu untuk Elia.” (Dia benar-benar tidak tahu apa yang dia katakan.)
34 As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
Sementara dia sedang berkata-kata, ada awan datang dan menyelimuti mereka. Mereka menjadi ketakutan ketika berada di dalam awan itu.
35 [God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
Ada suara yang terdengar berbicara dari dalam awan, berkata, “Inilah Anak-Ku, yang Kupilih. Dengarkanlah Dia!”
36 After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
Ketika suara itu selesai berbicara, Yesus ada di sana sendirian. Mereka menyimpan peristiwa ini di antara mereka sendiri dan tidak menceritakannya kepada siapapun apa yang sudah mereka lihat pada waktu itu.
37 The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
Keesokan harinya ketika mereka sudah turun dari gunung, sekelompok besar orang sedang menunggu untuk bertemu dengan Yesus.
38 Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
Seorang laki-laki di antara mereka berteriak, “Guru, tolong tengok anak laki-lakiku satu-satunya.
39 At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
Roh jahat menguasai dia dan dengan segera dia berteriak. Roh itu membuatnya kejang dan mengeluarkan busa dari mulutnya. Itu hampir tidak pernah meninggalkannya sendirian dan itu menyebabkan dia sangat kesakitan.
40 I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
Aku sudah memohon kepada murid-murid-Mu untuk mengusir setan itu, tetapi mereka tidak bisa melakukannya.”
41 Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
“Sungguh kalian orang yang tidak punya rasa percaya dan jahat! Berapa lama lagi Aku harus bersama dengan kalian, dan bersabar dengan kalian?!” kata Yesus. “Bawa anakmu ke sini.”
42 While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
Bahkan ketika anak itu dibawa, iblis membuat anak itu kejang, dan melemparkan dia ke atas tanah. Tetapi Yesus campur tangan, menghardik setan itu dan menyembuhkan si anak laki-laki, lalu mengembalikannya kepada ayahnya.
43 All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
Setiap orang terheran-heran dengan pembuktian kuasa Allah ini. Namun demikian, sekalipun semua orang kagum dengan segala perbuatan-Nya, Yesus memperingati murid-murid-Nya,
44 “Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
“Dengarkan baik-baik perkataan-Ku: Anak Manusia akan dikhianati dan diserahkan ke tangan manusia.”
45 But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
Tetapi ketika itu murid-murid-Nya tidak memahami perkataan-Nya dan mereka terlalu takut untuk bertanya kepada-Nya apa arti perkataan-Nya itu.
46 The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
Lalu timbulah perdebatan di antara murid-murid-Nya tentang siapa di antara mereka yang terhebat.
47 But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
Tetapi Yesus, mengetahui perdebatan mereka, mengangkat dan memangku seorang anak kecil.
48 He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
Lalu berkatalah Dia kepada mereka, “Siapaun yang menerima anak kecil ini demi nama-Ku, maka dia menerima Aku, dan siapapun yang menerima Aku menerima Dia yang mengutus Aku. Siapapun yang menjadi yang terkecil di antara kalian, dialah yang akan menjadi yang terbesar.”
49 John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
Yohanes berkata, “Guru, kami melihat seseorang mengusir setan demi nama-Mu dan kami mencoba menghentikan dia, sebab dia tidak termasuk dalam kelompok kita.”
50 But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
“Jangan hentikan dia,” jawab Yesus. “Siapapun yang tidak menentang kalian adalah untuk kalian.”
51 When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
Ketika waktunya semakin dekat baginya untuk naik ke surga, Yesus bertekad untuk pergi ke Yerusalem.
52 He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
Lalu Yesus mengirim pesan ke sebuah desa di Samaria untuk mempersiapkan segala sesuatu bagi-Nya.
53 But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
Tetapi orang-orang di desa itu tidak menyambut Dia sebab ternyata Dia hanya ingin melewati desa mereka dalam perjalanan-Nya menuju Yerusalem.
54 When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
Ketika Yakobus dan Yohanes melihat hal ini, bertanyalah mereka kepada Yesus, “Guru, apakah Engkau ingin kami memanggil api dari surga untuk membakar mereka?”
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
Tetapi Yesus berbalik dan menghardik mereka.
56 So they went to a different village.
Lalu mereka melanjutkan perjalanan ke desa selanjutnya.
57 As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
Sementara mereka dalam perjalanan, seorang laki-laki berkata kepada Yesus, “Guru, saya akan mengikuti-Mu kemanapun Engkau pergi!”
58 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
Berkatalah Yesus kepada laki-laki itu, “Rubah-rubah memiliki lubang, demikian juga burung-burung mempunyai sarang, tetapi Anak Manusia tidak memiliki tempat untuk berbaring dan beristirahat,” kata Yesus kepadanya.
59 Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Berkatalah Yesus kepada yang lainnya, “Ikutlah Aku.” Tetapi laki-laki itu menjawab, “Guru, ijinkan saya pulang dan menguburkan ayahku.”
60 But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
“Biarlah mereka yang mati menguburkan orang-orang mati mereka,” jawab Yesus. “Tetapi kamu, pergilah dan beritakanlah tentang Kerajaan Allah.”
61 Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
Lalu seorang lagi berkata, “Tuhan, saya akan mengikuti Engkau! Tetapi biarkanlah saya pulang dahulu untuk berpamitan dahulu kepada keluarga saya.”
62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
Tetapi berkatalah Yesus kepadanya, “Mereka yang mulai membajak tetapi lalu melihat ke belakang tidak layak untuk kerajaan Allah.”
