Mark 4
1 Another time Jesus began to teach [people] alongside Lake [Galilee. As he was doing that, a very large crowd gathered around him. Because people were jostling him], he got into a boat in the lake [so that he could speak to the crowd better. Then he sat in it and began to teach the crowd from the boat]. At the same time, the crowd was on the shore close to the lake.
Pada suatu kali Yesus mulai pula mengajar di tepi danau. Maka datanglah orang banyak yang sangat besar jumlahnya mengerumuni Dia, sehingga Ia naik ke sebuah perahu yang sedang berlabuh lalu duduk di situ, sedangkan semua orang banyak itu di darat, di tepi danau itu.
2 Then he taught them many parables. While he was teaching them, he told them [this]:
Dan Ia mengajarkan banyak hal dalam perumpamaan kepada mereka. Dalam ajaran-Nya itu Ia berkata kepada mereka:
3 “Consider [well the meaning of this illustration]: A man/farmer went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
"Dengarlah! Adalah seorang penabur keluar untuk menabur.
4 As he was scattering them [over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
Pada waktu ia menabur sebagian benih itu jatuh di pinggir jalan, lalu datanglah burung dan memakannya sampai habis.
5 Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of] rock. Very soon the [seeds] sprouted because [the sun warmed] the moist soil quickly where it was not deep.
Sebagian jatuh di tanah yang berbatu-batu, yang tidak banyak tanahnya, lalu benih itupun segera tumbuh, karena tanahnya tipis.
6 But after the sun shone [on those young plants], they became scorched. Then they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
Tetapi sesudah matahari terbit, layulah ia dan menjadi kering karena tidak berakar.
7 As the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny plants. [The] seeds [grew, but] the thorny plants also grew up and crowded out [the] good [plants. So the plants] produced no grain.
Sebagian lagi jatuh di tengah semak duri, lalu makin besarlah semak itu dan menghimpitnya sampai mati, sehingga ia tidak berbuah.
8 But as the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on good soil. As a result, they sprouted, they grew well, and then they produced [plenty of] grain. [Some] plants bore 30 [grains]. [Some] bore 60 [grains]. [Some] bore 100 [grains].”
Dan sebagian jatuh di tanah yang baik, ia tumbuh dengan suburnya dan berbuah, hasilnya ada yang tiga puluh kali lipat, ada yang enam puluh kali lipat, ada yang seratus kali lipat."
9 Then Jesus said, “If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
Dan kata-Nya: "Siapa mempunyai telinga untuk mendengar, hendaklah ia mendengar!"
10 [Later], when only the twelve [disciples] and a few [other] people were with him, they asked him about the parables.
Ketika Ia sendirian, pengikut-pengikut-Nya dan kedua belas murid itu menanyakan Dia tentang perumpamaan itu.
11 He said to them, “People have not understood before [the new message] about how God wants to rule people’s lives. It is to you that this is being made known {that I am making this known}. But I tell about this [only] (in parables/figuratively) to those who have not [yet invited God to rule their lives].
Jawab-Nya: "Kepadamu telah diberikan rahasia Kerajaan Allah, tetapi kepada orang-orang luar segala sesuatu disampaikan dalam perumpamaan,
12 As a result [it is true what a prophet has written], Although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means] [DOU]. Although they hear [what I say], they do not understand [what it means] [DOU]. So they do not (repent/turn away from their sinful behavior) in order that they would be forgiven {[God] would forgive them}.”
supaya: Sekalipun melihat, mereka tidak menanggap, sekalipun mendengar, mereka tidak mengerti, supaya mereka jangan berbalik dan mendapat ampun."
13 He also said to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand this illustration!/Can you not understand this illustration?) [RHQ] [If you do not understand] this, (you will certainly not understand any of the [other] illustrations!/how will you understand any of the [other] illustrations?) [RHQ] [Nevertheless, I will explain it to you].
Lalu Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Tidakkah kamu mengerti perumpamaan ini? Kalau demikian bagaimana kamu dapat memahami semua perumpamaan yang lain?
14 [In the illustration that I told you], the man who sows [seeds represents someone who] declares God’s message [DOU].
Penabur itu menaburkan firman.
15 [Some people are like] the path on which [some of] the seeds fell. When they hear [the message], Satan comes at once and causes them to forget what they have heard.
Orang-orang yang di pinggir jalan, tempat firman itu ditaburkan, ialah mereka yang mendengar firman, lalu datanglah Iblis dan mengambil firman yang baru ditaburkan di dalam mereka.
16 [Some people are like the ground where the soil was not very deep over] rock. When they hear [God’s] message, they immediately accept it with joy.
Demikian juga yang ditaburkan di tanah yang berbatu-batu, ialah orang-orang yang mendengar firman itu dan segera menerimanya dengan gembira,
17 But, because [the message does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their hearts/inner beings, they] believe it for [only a short time. They are like the plants that] did not have deep roots. When others treat such people badly or cause them to suffer because [they believe], those people [who are suffering] soon stop believing God’s message.
tetapi mereka tidak berakar dan tahan sebentar saja. Apabila kemudian datang penindasan atau penganiayaan karena firman itu, mereka segera murtad.
18 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny weeds in it. [Although] those people hear [God’s] message,
Dan yang lain ialah yang ditaburkan di tengah semak duri, itulah yang mendengar firman itu,
19 they desire to be rich, and they desire to own many other things. So they worry [only] about material things. The result is that they forget [God’s] message and they do not do [the things that God wants them to do]. (aiōn g165)
lalu kekuatiran dunia ini dan tipu daya kekayaan dan keinginan-keinginan akan hal yang lain masuklah menghimpit firman itu sehingga tidak berbuah. (aiōn g165)
20 [But some people] are like the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and they accept it [and they believe] it. [Then they do the things that God wants them to do. They are like the good plants that produced] 30, 60 or 100 [grains].”
Dan akhirnya yang ditaburkan di tanah yang baik, ialah orang yang mendengar dan menyambut firman itu lalu berbuah, ada yang tiga puluh kali lipat, ada yang enam puluh kali lipat, dan ada yang seratus kali lipat."
21 He also told them [another parable], saying, “(People certainly do not [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed./Would anyone [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed?) [RHQ] (No, [they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house].[/Wouldn’t they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house]?) [RHQ]
Lalu Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Orang membawa pelita bukan supaya ditempatkan di bawah gantang atau di bawah tempat tidur, melainkan supaya ditaruh di atas kaki dian.
22 [Similarly], there are some [parts of God’s message] that people do not know. [But he intends that] people will understand all the things that they do not know [now].
Sebab tidak ada sesuatu yang tersembunyi yang tidak akan dinyatakan, dan tidak ada sesuatu yang rahasia yang tidak akan tersingkap.
23 If you want to understand this, you should consider [carefully] what you [have just heard].”
Barangsiapa mempunyai telinga untuk mendengar, hendaklah ia mendengar!"
24 Then he said to them, “Consider carefully what you hear [me say to you], for [God] will let you [understand] to the same degree that you [consider what I say]. [He] will let you [understand] even more than that.
Lalu Ia berkata lagi: "Camkanlah apa yang kamu dengar! Ukuran yang kamu pakai untuk mengukur akan diukurkan kepadamu, dan di samping itu akan ditambah lagi kepadamu.
25 Those who [consider what I say] and understand it, [God] will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [consider carefully what I say], they will forget even what they already know.”
Karena siapa yang mempunyai, kepadanya akan diberi, tetapi siapa yang tidak mempunyai, apapun juga yang ada padanya akan diambil dari padanya."
26 Jesus also said, “God [has the power to change] people who let him rule their lives. I [will illustrate how that can happen] [MET]. A man planted seeds in the ground.
Lalu kata Yesus: "Beginilah hal Kerajaan Allah itu: seumpama orang yang menaburkan benih di tanah,
27 Afterwards he slept each night and rose each day [without worrying about the seeds]. [During that time] the seeds sprouted and grew in a way that he did not understand, because by itself the soil [caused the plants to grow and produce grain].
lalu pada malam hari ia tidur dan pada siang hari ia bangun, dan benih itu mengeluarkan tunas dan tunas itu makin tinggi, bagaimana terjadinya tidak diketahui orang itu.
28 First the stalks [appeared]. Then the heads [appeared]. Then the full kernels in the heads [appeared].
Bumi dengan sendirinya mengeluarkan buah, mula-mula tangkainya, lalu bulirnya, kemudian butir-butir yang penuh isinya dalam bulir itu.
29 As soon as the grain was ripe he sent [people] [MTY] to harvest it because it was time to harvest [the grain].”
Apabila buah itu sudah cukup masak, orang itu segera menyabit, sebab musim menuai sudah tiba."
30 [Jesus told them] another [parable. He] said, “I will tell you [RHQ] how the [number of people] whose lives God rules in a new way [will continue to grow] (OR, each continue to have more and more influence in this world). I hope [RHQ] that this illustration will show this [to you].
Kata-Nya lagi: "Dengan apa hendak kita membandingkan Kerajaan Allah itu, atau dengan perumpamaan manakah hendaknya kita menggambarkannya?
31 [You know what happens to] mustard seeds when we plant them. Though mustard seeds are among the smallest of seeds, [here in Israel] they become large plants.
Hal Kerajaan itu seumpama biji sesawi yang ditaburkan di tanah. Memang biji itu yang paling kecil dari pada segala jenis benih yang ada di bumi.
32 After they are planted, they grow up and become larger than the other garden plants. They put out big branches so that birds are able to make nests in their shade.”
Tetapi apabila ia ditaburkan, ia tumbuh dan menjadi lebih besar dari pada segala sayuran yang lain dan mengeluarkan cabang-cabang yang besar, sehingga burung-burung di udara dapat bersarang dalam naungannya."
33 Jesus used many such illustrations when he talked to the people about God. If they were able to understand [some, he kept telling them more].
Dalam banyak perumpamaan yang semacam itu Ia memberitakan firman kepada mereka sesuai dengan pengertian mereka,
34 He always used parables when he spoke to them. But he explained all [the illustrations] to his own disciples when he was alone with them.
dan tanpa perumpamaan Ia tidak berkata-kata kepada mereka, tetapi kepada murid-murid-Nya Ia menguraikan segala sesuatu secara tersendiri.
35 On that same day, when the sun was setting, Jesus said to [his disciples], “Let’s cross over to the opposite side of [Lake Galilee in the boat].”
Pada hari itu, waktu hari sudah petang, Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Marilah kita bertolak ke seberang."
36 So they left the crowd, [got in] the boat where Jesus [already] was, and left. [Other people] went with them in other boats.
Mereka meninggalkan orang banyak itu lalu bertolak dan membawa Yesus beserta dengan mereka dalam perahu di mana Yesus telah duduk dan perahu-perahu lain juga menyertai Dia.
37 A strong wind came up and the waves started coming into the boat! The boat was soon nearly full [of water]!
Lalu mengamuklah taufan yang sangat dahsyat dan ombak menyembur masuk ke dalam perahu, sehingga perahu itu mulai penuh dengan air.
38 Jesus was in the back part of the boat. He was sleeping, [with his head] on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher! (You ought to be concerned that we are about to die!/Are you not concerned that we are about to die?) [RHQ]”
Pada waktu itu Yesus sedang tidur di buritan di sebuah tilam. Maka murid-murid-Nya membangunkan Dia dan berkata kepada-Nya: "Guru, Engkau tidak perduli kalau kita binasa?"
39 So Jesus got up and rebuked the wind. Then he said to the lake, “Be quiet! Be still! [DOU]” The wind [immediately] blowing and then [the lake] became very calm.
Iapun bangun, menghardik angin itu dan berkata kepada danau itu: "Diam! Tenanglah!" Lalu angin itu reda dan danau itu menjadi teduh sekali.
40 He said to the disciples, “([I am disappointed that] you are afraid [like that]!/Why are you afraid [like that]?) [RHQ] Do you not yet believe [that I can protect you]?”
Lalu Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu begitu takut? Mengapa kamu tidak percaya?"
41 They were very awestruck. They said to one another, “[Not only do the demons obey this man, but] even the wind and the waves obey him! “(What kind of man is he?/This man is [not like ordinary] people!) [RHQ]”
Mereka menjadi sangat takut dan berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Siapa gerangan orang ini, sehingga angin dan danaupun taat kepada-Nya?"
