Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Sesudah itu beberapa orang Farisi dan ahli Taurat datang dari Yerusalem untuk bertemu dengan Yesus. Mereka berkata kepada-Nya,
2 “(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
“Kami tidak setuju dengan murid-muridmu yang tidak mengikuti adat istiadat nenek moyang kita! Mereka tidak membasuh tangan sebelum makan.”
3 Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
Jawab Yesus, “Dan Aku juga tidak setuju dengan kalian yang melanggar berbagai perintah Allah hanya untuk menaati adat istiadat nenek moyang kita!
4 God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
Misalnya, Allah memerintahkan, ‘Hormatilah ayah dan ibumu,’ dan, ‘Orang yang menghina ayah atau ibunya harus dihukum mati.’
5 But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
Tetapi kalian mengajarkan bahwa kita boleh berkata kepada ayah atau ibu kita, ‘Aku tidak bisa membantumu lagi karena aku sudah berjanji untuk memberikan semua hartaku kepada Allah.’
6 And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
Menurut kalian, kalau kita melakukan itu, kita tidak wajib lagi menghormati ayah atau ibu kita. Berarti kalian membatalkan perintah Allah hanya untuk mengikuti adat istiadat nenek moyang!
7 You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
Hai kalian orang munafik! Tepat sekali nubuatan Yesaya tentang kalian waktu dia berkata,
8 ‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
‘Bangsa ini mengatakan dengan mulut bahwa mereka ingin hidup dekat kepada-Ku. Mereka menghormati Aku dengan kata-kata, tetapi hati mereka jauh dari Aku.
9 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
Percuma saja mereka menyembah Aku, karena mereka hanya mengajarkan aturan-aturan manusia.’”
10 Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
Lalu Yesus memanggil orang banyak dan berkata, “Kalian semua dengarkanlah Aku dan berusahalah untuk mengerti:
11 Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
Apa pun yang kita masukkan ke dalam mulut tidak membuat kita najis di mata Allah. Tetapi apa yang keluar dari mulut kita, itulah yang menentukan najis atau tidaknya kita di mata Allah.”
12 Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
Lalu kami murid-murid-Nya datang kepada-Nya dan berkata, “Apakah Engkau tahu bahwa orang Farisi tersinggung karena perkataan-Mu itu?”
13 Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
Tetapi Yesus menjawab, “Setiap tumbuhan yang tidak ditanam oleh Bapa-Ku yang di surga akan dicabut sampai ke akar-akarnya.
14 Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
Kita tidak usah pedulikan orang-orang Farisi itu! Mereka seperti orang buta yang menuntun sesama orang buta. Tentu saja kedua-duanya akan jatuh ke dalam lubang.”
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Petrus berkata, “Guru, jelaskanlah kepada kami arti kiasan tentang kenajisan tadi.”
16 He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
Jawab Yesus, “Kalian juga belum mengerti?!
17 (You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
Tentu kalian tahu bahwa setiap makanan yang masuk melalui mulut turun ke dalam perut, lalu keluar melalui pembuangan air besar.
18 [You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
Tetapi yang keluar dari mulut, yaitu perkataan, berasal dari hati. Itulah yang menentukan apakah seseorang najis atau tidak di mata Allah.
19 It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
Karena dari dalam hatilah berasal semua pikiran jahat, termasuk pikiran untuk membunuh, berzina, berbagai dosa percabulan, mencuri, berbohong, dan menjelekkan orang.
20 It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
Hal-hal seperti itulah yang membuat orang najis! Bukan karena dia tidak membasuh tangan sebelum makan.”
21 After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
Kemudian Yesus bersama kami murid-murid-Nya meninggalkan tempat itu dan pergi ke daerah sekitar Tirus dan Sidon.
22 A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
Lalu seorang wanita bangsa Kanaan dari daerah itu datang kepada-Nya sambil berteriak-teriak, “Tuhan, Keturunan Daud, tolonglah saya. Anak perempuan saya dikuasai setan dan sangat menderita.”
23 But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
Yesus sama sekali tidak menjawab dia, sehingga kami meminta kepada Yesus, “Guru, suruhlah perempuan itu pergi, karena dia terus saja mengikuti kita sambil berteriak-teriak.”
24 But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
Jawab Yesus, “Allah mengutus Aku hanya untuk menggembalakan domba-domba Israel yang tersesat.”
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
Tetapi wanita itu datang mendekat, lalu sujud di hadapan-Nya dan berkata, “Tuhan, tolonglah saya!”
26 Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Jawab Yesus kepadanya, “Kamu bukan orang Yahudi. Kalau Aku menolongmu, itu sama seperti orang yang mengambil makanan anak-anaknya dan memberikannya kepada anjing.”
27 [But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
Kata perempuan itu, “Benar, Tuhan. Biar anak-anak Yahudi makan lebih dulu. Tetapi biasanya anjing-anjing memakan sisa makanan yang jatuh dari meja tuan-tuan mereka.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
Kemudian Yesus menjawab, “Ibu, kamu sangat percaya kepada-Ku! Karena itu terjadilah sesuai dengan yang kamu minta.” Dan saat itu juga anaknya pun sembuh.
29 After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
Yesus meninggalkan daerah itu dan kembali berjalan di pinggir danau Galilea. Dia naik ke sebuah bukit dan duduk di sana.
30 Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
Lalu banyak sekali orang berdatangan kepada-Nya. Di antara mereka ada yang lumpuh, pincang, buta, bisu, dan menderita berbagai penyakit yang lain. Orang banyak itu meletakkan orang-orang sakit di hadapan Yesus dan Dia menyembuhkan mereka.
31 The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
Orang banyak itu terheran-heran melihat bahwa orang yang tadinya lumpuh atau pincang bisa berjalan dengan baik, yang bisu bisa berbicara, dan yang buta bisa melihat. Karena itu mereka semua memuliakan Allah Israel.
32 Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
Kemudian Yesus memanggil kami murid-murid-Nya dan berkata, “Aku merasa sangat kasihan kepada orang banyak ini. Sudah tiga hari mereka bersama-sama Aku dan sekarang mereka tidak punya makanan lagi. Aku tidak sampai hati menyuruh mereka pulang kelaparan. Jangan-jangan mereka pingsan dalam perjalanan.”
33 We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
Kami berkata kepada-Nya, “Di tempat sepi begini, tidak mungkin kita bisa membeli roti untuk orang sebanyak itu!”
34 Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
Yesus bertanya, “Ada berapa roti yang kalian punya?” Jawab kami, “Hanya tujuh, dan ada beberapa ikan kecil.”
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Lalu Dia menyuruh orang banyak itu duduk di tanah.
36 Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
Yesus mengambil ketujuh roti dan ikan-ikan itu. Setelah mengucap syukur, Dia menyobek-nyobek roti dan menyuwir-nyuwir ikan itu, lalu memberikannya kepada kami untuk dibagi-bagikan kepada orang banyak.
37 [Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
Semua orang makan sampai kenyang. Kemudian makanan yang tersisa dikumpulkan sebanyak tujuh keranjang besar.
Jumlah orang yang ikut makan kira-kira empat ribu laki-laki, belum terhitung perempuan dan anak-anak.
39 After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
Sesudah itu Yesus menyuruh mereka pulang. Lalu Dia bersama kami naik perahu dan pergi ke daerah Magdala.
