Mark 9
1 He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Lalu Yesus berkata kepada mereka, “Aku menegaskan kepadamu: Beberapa orang di antara kalian yang ada di sini tidak akan mati sebelum melihat bukti-bukti bahwa Allah mulai mendirikan kerajaan-Nya dengan kuasa di dunia ini.”
2 A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
Enam hari kemudian, Yesus mengajak Petrus, Yakobus, dan Yohanes naik ke gunung yang tinggi berempat saja. Di sana Yesus berubah wujud di hadapan mereka.
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
Pakaian-Nya menjadi putih cemerlang berkilau-kilau. Tidak ada seorang pun di dunia ini yang bisa membuat kain seputih itu.
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Tiba-tiba ketiga murid-Nya melihat Nabi Elia dan Musa sedang bercakap-cakap dengan Yesus.
5 [After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
Lalu Petrus berkata kepada Yesus, “Wah, Guru, indah sekali kita berada di sini! Kami akan membuatkan tiga pondok— satu untuk Engkau, satu untuk Musa, dan satu lagi untuk Elia.”
6 [He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
Sebenarnya Petrus hanya asal bicara saja, sebab dia dan kedua murid yang lain sangat ketakutan.
7 Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
Tetapi saat itu juga, turunlah awan dan menutupi mereka. Dari dalam awan itu terdengar suara yang berkata, “Inilah Anak-Ku yang sangat Aku kasihi. Taatilah Dia.”
8 When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
Tiba-tiba ketiga murid itu tidak melihat ada orang lain di situ kecuali Yesus sendiri.
9 While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
Dalam perjalanan turun dari gunung itu, Yesus melarang mereka, “Jangan menceritakan kepada siapa pun apa yang sudah kalian lihat di atas gunung ini, sebelum Aku hidup kembali dari kematian.”
10 So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
Mereka menaati apa yang Yesus perintahkan itu, tetapi kemudian bertanya-tanya satu sama lain tentang apa maksud Yesus dengan mengatakan “hidup kembali dari kematian.”
11 [The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
Kemudian mereka bertanya kepada Yesus, “Kenapa para ahli Taurat mengajarkan bahwa Nabi Elia harus datang lebih dulu sebelum Mesias tiba?”
12 [Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
Jawab Yesus, “Benar, Elia memang datang lebih dulu untuk mempersiapkan segala hal sebelum Aku datang. Tetapi Firman Allah juga menuliskan, ‘Sang Anak Adam sudah ditetapkan untuk banyak menderita dan dihina orang.’
Namun Aku memberitahu kalian: Elia sebenarnya sudah datang mendahului Aku, tetapi orang-orang memperlakukan dia sesuka hati mereka. Hal itu juga sesuai dengan yang tertulis tentang dia dalam Firman Allah.”
14 [Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
Waktu Yesus dan ketiga murid-Nya itu kembali, mereka melihat banyak orang sedang mengelilingi murid-murid Yesus yang lain. Di situ juga ada ahli-ahli Taurat yang sedang berdebat dengan murid-murid-Nya itu.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
Sewaktu orang banyak itu melihat Yesus, mereka sangat terkejut dan segera berlari menyambut Dia.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Lalu Yesus bertanya kepada para ahli Taurat itu, “Tadi apa yang kalian perdebatkan dengan murid-murid-Ku?”
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
Tetapi tiba-tiba seorang lelaki berbicara dari antara kerumunan itu, “Guru, saya datang untuk membawa anak saya kepada-Mu. Dia dikuasai roh jahat sehingga tidak bisa berbicara.
18 Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
Setiap kali roh jahat itu menyerangnya, roh itu membanting-banting dia. Mulutnya berbusa, dia mengertak-ngertakkan giginya, dan badannya menjadi kaku. Saya sudah minta murid-murid-Mu untuk mengusir roh itu, tetapi mereka tidak bisa.”
19 Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
Kata Yesus kepada mereka, “Bukan main! Kalian masih juga tidak percaya kepada Allah! Sampai kapan Aku harus bersabar terhadap kalian?! Bukankah sudah cukup lama Aku tinggal bersama kalian! Bawalah anak itu kemari!”
20 So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
Mereka pun membawa anak itu kepada-Nya. Saat roh jahat yang ada padanya melihat Yesus, dia langsung membuat anak itu kejang-kejang. Anak itu terbanting ke tanah, berguling-guling, dan busa keluar dari mulutnya.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
Yesus bertanya kepada ayah anak itu, “Sudah berapa lama dia begini?” Jawab ayahnya, “Sejak dia masih kecil.
22 [The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
Roh jahat itu sudah sering berusaha membunuh anak saya dengan melempar dia ke api atau menenggelamkannya ke dalam air. Tetapi kalau Guru bisa berbuat sesuatu, mohon kasihanilah kami dan tolonglah.”
23 Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
Namun Yesus menegur dia, “Masalah yang sebenarnya adalah kamu tidak percaya penuh! Apa saja bisa Aku lakukan. Kalau kamu percaya kepada-Ku, Aku akan melakukannya bagimu.”
24 Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
Sambil menangis, bapak itu langsung berteriak, “Saya percaya, ya Tuhanku! Tolonglah saya supaya bisa lebih yakin!”
25 Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
Waktu Yesus melihat kerumunan di situ semakin ramai, Dia membentak roh jahat itu, “Hei, roh yang membuat anak ini bisu dan tuli, Aku perintahkan kamu: Keluar darinya dan jangan pernah masuk lagi!”
26 The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
Roh jahat itu menjerit dan mengguncang-guncangkan anak itu dengan keras, lalu keluar. Anak itu terbaring kaku seperti mati, sehingga orang banyak yang menyaksikannya berkata, “Dia sudah mati.”
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Tetapi Yesus memegang tangan anak itu, lalu dia pun bangun dan Yesus membantunya berdiri.
28 Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
Waktu Yesus sudah di rumah dan hanya bersama murid-murid-Nya, mereka bertanya kepada-Nya, “Kenapa kami tidak bisa mengusir roh jahat itu?”
29 He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
Jawab Yesus, “Roh jahat jenis ini hanya bisa diusir dengan berdoa dan berpuasa.”
30 After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
Lalu Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya pergi dari tempat itu melalui daerah Galilea ke kota Kapernaum. Yesus tidak mau orang lain mengetahui di mana mereka berada,
31 [anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
karena Dia sedang memberitahu murid-murid-Nya, “Aku, Sang Anak Adam, akan diserahkan ke tangan orang-orang jahat dan akan mati dibunuh. Tetapi pada hari ketiga sesudah Aku mati, Aku akan hidup kembali.”
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Waktu itu murid-murid-Nya tidak mengerti maksud perkataan Yesus, tetapi mereka segan menanyakan hal itu kepada-Nya.
33 Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
Lalu sampailah Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya di Kapernaum. Waktu mereka sedang berada di rumah, Yesus bertanya, “Apa yang kalian perdebatkan dalam perjalanan tadi?”
34 But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
Namun mereka tidak berani menjawab, karena dalam perjalanan mereka mempersoalkan tentang siapakah yang paling tinggi kedudukannya di antara mereka.
35 He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
Maka Yesus duduk dan mengumpulkan kedua belas murid-Nya, lalu mengajarkan, “Kalau kamu mau menjadi yang nomor satu di mata Allah, kamu harus siap menjadi yang paling hina dan menjadi pelayan bagi semuanya.”
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Kemudian Yesus memanggil seorang anak kecil dan menempatkan anak itu di tengah-tengah mereka. Sambil memeluk anak itu Dia berkata,
37 “Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
“Kalau kamu menerima dan melayani anak kecil seperti ini dengan alasan untuk memuliakan Aku, berarti kamu sudah menerima dan melayani Aku. Dan kalau kamu sudah melayani Aku, berarti kamu juga sudah melayani Allah yang mengutus Aku ke dunia ini.”
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
Kemudian Yohanes berkata kepada Yesus, “Guru, kami melihat seseorang mengusir setan-setan dengan memakai nama-Mu. Lalu kami melarang dia, karena dia bukan termasuk kelompok kita.”
39 Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
Tetapi jawab Yesus, “Jangan larang dia. Karena orang yang membuat keajaiban dengan memakai nama-Ku tidak mungkin bisa langsung berbalik menghina Aku.
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
Kalau seseorang tidak melawan kita, berarti dia di pihak kita.
41 Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
Aku menegaskan kepadamu: Siapa pun yang menolong salah seorang dari kalian, sekalipun hanya memberi secangkir air minum, dengan alasan karena kamu adalah pengikut Kristus, dia pasti akan menerima upah dari Allah karena perbuatannya itu.”
42 [Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
Lalu Yesus berkata lagi, “Kalau ada orang menyebabkan anak kecil yang percaya kepada-Ku jatuh dalam dosa, orang itu akan mendapat hukuman yang sangat berat dari Allah. Sebelum dia melakukan dosa besar itu, lebih baik jika sebuah batu besar diikat ke lehernya lalu dia dibuang ke laut. Mengalami kengerian seperti itu jauh lebih ringan daripada hukuman Allah yang akan dia tanggung selamanya kalau menyebabkan seorang anak jatuh dalam dosa.”
43 [So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Lalu Yesus berkata lagi, “Kalau salah satu tanganmu menyebabkan kamu berbuat dosa, potong dan buanglah tanganmu itu! Jangan sampai tanganmu membuat kamu gagal menerima hidup kekal. Lebih baik kamu masuk surga dengan satu tangan, daripada tanganmu lengkap tetapi kamu masuk neraka, di mana apinya tidak akan pernah padam. (Geenna g1067)
Seperti yang tertulis dalam Firman TUHAN, ‘Di dalam neraka, belatung yang menggerogoti mereka tidak akan mati, dan api yang membakar mereka tidak akan padam.’ (questioned)
45 If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Begitu juga kalau salah satu kakimu menyebabkan kamu berbuat dosa, potong saja kaki itu! Jangan sampai kakimu membuat kamu gagal menerima hidup yang kekal. Lebih baik kamu masuk surga dengan satu kaki daripada kakimu lengkap tetapi kamu dibuang ke dalam neraka yang apinya tidak akan pernah padam. (Geenna g1067)
‘Di dalam neraka, belatung yang menyiksa mereka tidak akan pernah mati, dan apinya tidak akan pernah padam.’ (questioned)
47 If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Dan kalau matamu yang sebelah membuat kamu berdosa, cungkil dan buanglah matamu itu! Lebih baik kamu masuk kerajaan Allah dengan satu mata daripada matamu lengkap tetapi kamu dibuang ke dalam api neraka. (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
‘Di dalam neraka, belatung yang menyiksa mereka tidak akan pernah mati dan apinya tidak akan pernah padam.’ (questioned)
49 “[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
“Sebenarnya, setiap pengikut-Ku akan diuji dengan kesusahan yang rasanya seperti panas api, tetapi setiap pengurbanan mereka akan menghasilkan dampak baik, seperti garam memberi rasa pada daging kurban yang dibakar di mezbah TUHAN.
50 Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
Kalian yang mengikut Aku bisa digambarkan seperti garam. Garam dipakai untuk membuat makanan lebih enak. Tetapi kalau rasa asinnya hilang, garam itu tidak akan berguna lagi. Jangan sampai kalian seperti garam yang kehilangan rasa asin! Biarlah kalian berguna dan hidup damai satu sama lain.”
