Matthew 5
1 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hillside. He sat down [in order to teach] his disciples. They came near to him [to listen to him].
Ketika Yesus melihat orang banyak itu, naiklah Ia ke atas bukit dan setelah Ia duduk, datanglah murid-murid-Nya kepada-Nya.
2 Then he began to teach them by saying,
Maka Yesuspun mulai berbicara dan mengajar mereka, kata-Nya:
3 [God] is pleased with people who recognize that they have a spiritual [need]; he will allow them to be the people whose lives he rules over.
"Berbahagialah orang yang miskin di hadapan Allah, karena merekalah yang empunya Kerajaan Sorga.
4 [God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
Berbahagialah orang yang berdukacita, karena mereka akan dihibur.
5 [God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
Berbahagialah orang yang lemah lembut, karena mereka akan memiliki bumi.
6 [God] is pleased with people who sincerely [desire to live] righteously [just like they] desire to eat and drink [MET]; they will be enabled {he will enable them} to do all that he desires [MET].
Berbahagialah orang yang lapar dan haus akan kebenaran, karena mereka akan dipuaskan.
7 [God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
Berbahagialah orang yang murah hatinya, karena mereka akan beroleh kemurahan.
8 [God] is pleased with people who think only about that which pleases him; [some day] they will [be where] God is and will see him.
Berbahagialah orang yang suci hatinya, karena mereka akan melihat Allah.
9 [God] is pleased with people who help other people to live peacefully; they will be considered to be {he will consider that they are} his children [MET].
Berbahagialah orang yang membawa damai, karena mereka akan disebut anak-anak Allah.
10 [God is pleased with] people to whom evil things are done {to whom [other people] do evil things} because they [conducted themselves] righteously; he will allow them to be where he rules over people.
Berbahagialah orang yang dianiaya oleh sebab kebenaran, karena merekalah yang empunya Kerajaan Sorga.
11 [God is pleased with] you when [other] people insult you, when [other people] do evil things to you and when [other people] say falsely [that] you are evil because [you believe in] me.
Berbahagialah kamu, jika karena Aku kamu dicela dan dianiaya dan kepadamu difitnahkan segala yang jahat.
12 [When that happens], rejoice and be glad [DOU], because [God will give] you a great reward in heaven. [God will think highly of you], just like [he thought highly of] the prophets whom your [ancestors persecuted] long ago.
Bersukacita dan bergembiralah, karena upahmu besar di sorga, sebab demikian juga telah dianiaya nabi-nabi yang sebelum kamu."
13 “You are [able to influence] evil [people] [MTY] [and improve the way they live in order that they do not become more evil, just like] salt [is able to improve the flavor of food and to preserve it] [MET] [from spoiling]. Salt that no longer tastes salty cannot become salty again [RHQ]. As a result, that salt becomes useless. It is rejected by people, thrown on the ground, and walked on {People reject it, throw it on the ground and walk on it} [MET]. [Similarly, if the way you live no longer influences people to live in a godly manner, God will reject you].
"Kamu adalah garam dunia. Jika garam itu menjadi tawar, dengan apakah ia diasinkan? Tidak ada lagi gunanya selain dibuang dan diinjak orang.
14 You [enable] evil [people] [MTY] [to perceive God’s truth as] a light [enables people to perceive what is around them. Just like] everyone can see [LIT] [the lights of] a city on a hill [MET], [other people can see what you do].
Kamu adalah terang dunia. Kota yang terletak di atas gunung tidak mungkin tersembunyi.
15 After people light a lamp, they never put it under a basket. Instead, [they put it] on a lampstand in their houses in order that it can shine on everyone there.
Lagipula orang tidak menyalakan pelita lalu meletakkannya di bawah gantang, melainkan di atas kaki dian sehingga menerangi semua orang di dalam rumah itu.
16 [Similarly], you need to do [what is right] [MET] in such a manner that other people can see the good deeds that you do, and as a result they will praise your Father [who is] in heaven.”
Demikianlah hendaknya terangmu bercahaya di depan orang, supaya mereka melihat perbuatanmu yang baik dan memuliakan Bapamu yang di sorga."
17 “I came to earth, not to annul the laws [that God gave Moses] or [what] the prophets [MTY] [wrote]. Instead, I [came] to cause to happen [what the authors of those books predicted would happen]. So do not think any longer that I have come [to earth] in order that I might annul [what they wrote].
"Janganlah kamu menyangka, bahwa Aku datang untuk meniadakan hukum Taurat atau kitab para nabi. Aku datang bukan untuk meniadakannya, melainkan untuk menggenapinya.
18 Keep this in mind: [Every] point of those laws, [including those points that seem] least important, and even the smallest details of the laws [MTY] will surely be in effect [HYP, LIT] until the heavens and the earth disappear and until all [that God told their authors to write] happens.
Karena Aku berkata kepadamu: Sesungguhnya selama belum lenyap langit dan bumi ini, satu iota atau satu titikpun tidak akan ditiadakan dari hukum Taurat, sebelum semuanya terjadi.
19 Since [all God’s laws are important], if anyone disobeys any of those commandments, [even if it would be] one of the least [important ones], and if that person teaches people [to disobey any of those commandments], it will be said {[God] will say} that that person is the least [important] of those in the place where [EUP] God rules. But those who obey [those commandments] and teach [other people to obey them, it will be said] {[God] will say} that they are very important among those that God rules.
Karena itu siapa yang meniadakan salah satu perintah hukum Taurat sekalipun yang paling kecil, dan mengajarkannya demikian kepada orang lain, ia akan menduduki tempat yang paling rendah di dalam Kerajaan Sorga; tetapi siapa yang melakukan dan mengajarkan segala perintah-perintah hukum Taurat, ia akan menduduki tempat yang tinggi di dalam Kerajaan Sorga.
20 Keep this in mind: [You assume that] the Pharisees and the men who teach our laws [faithfully obey] what God commands. But if you do not obey those laws better than they obey them, you will by no means enter the place where God rules.”
Maka Aku berkata kepadamu: Jika hidup keagamaanmu tidak lebih benar dari pada hidup keagamaan ahli-ahli Taurat dan orang-orang Farisi, sesungguhnya kamu tidak akan masuk ke dalam Kerajaan Sorga.
21 “You have heard [your religious teachers say] that it was said {that [Moses] said} to your ancestors, ‘Do not murder [anyone.’ This implied that] if someone murders [another person], the judge will condemn that person [and] sentence him to be [executed] {[say that someone must execute him]}.
Kamu telah mendengar yang difirmankan kepada nenek moyang kita: Jangan membunuh; siapa yang membunuh harus dihukum.
22 But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu: Setiap orang yang marah terhadap saudaranya harus dihukum; siapa yang berkata kepada saudaranya: Kafir! harus dihadapkan ke Mahkamah Agama dan siapa yang berkata: Jahil! harus diserahkan ke dalam neraka yang menyala-nyala. (Geenna g1067)
23 So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
Sebab itu, jika engkau mempersembahkan persembahanmu di atas mezbah dan engkau teringat akan sesuatu yang ada dalam hati saudaramu terhadap engkau,
24 leave your gift by the altar, and first go [to the person you have offended]. Tell that person that you are sorry for what you have done, and ask that person to forgive you. Then go back and offer your gift [to God].
tinggalkanlah persembahanmu di depan mezbah itu dan pergilah berdamai dahulu dengan saudaramu, lalu kembali untuk mempersembahkan persembahanmu itu.
25 [Also], when a fellow citizen [takes you to court in order to] accuse you, settle accounts with that person quickly while you are walking with that person [to court]. Do that [while there still is time to do so] in order that he will not take you to the judge, [because if] the judge [favors the person who is accusing you, he will declare that you are guilty and send you] to the prison guard, and the prison guard will put you in prison.
Segeralah berdamai dengan lawanmu selama engkau bersama-sama dengan dia di tengah jalan, supaya lawanmu itu jangan menyerahkan engkau kepada hakim dan hakim itu menyerahkan engkau kepada pembantunya dan engkau dilemparkan ke dalam penjara.
26 Keep this in mind: [If you go to prison], you will never get out [because you will never be able to] pay all that the judge says that you owe [MET]. [And remember also that] you [ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
Aku berkata kepadamu: Sesungguhnya engkau tidak akan keluar dari sana, sebelum engkau membayar hutangmu sampai lunas.
27 “You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
Kamu telah mendengar firman: Jangan berzinah.
28 But what I say to you is this: If a man only looks at a woman desiring to have sex with her, [God considers that] his doing that [MET] is sin.
Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu: Setiap orang yang memandang perempuan serta menginginkannya, sudah berzinah dengan dia di dalam hatinya.
29 If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Maka jika matamu yang kanan menyesatkan engkau, cungkillah dan buanglah itu, karena lebih baik bagimu jika satu dari anggota tubuhmu binasa, dari pada tubuhmu dengan utuh dicampakkan ke dalam neraka. (Geenna g1067)
30 If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [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 do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna g1067)
Dan jika tanganmu yang kanan menyesatkan engkau, penggallah dan buanglah itu, karena lebih baik bagimu jika satu dari anggota tubuhmu binasa dari pada tubuhmu dengan utuh masuk neraka. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It is written {[Moses] wrote}, ‘If a man is divorcing his wife, he should write a document [on which he states that he is] divorcing her.’
Telah difirmankan juga: Siapa yang menceraikan isterinya harus memberi surat cerai kepadanya.
32 But [now listen to what] I say to you: [A man] may [divorce his wife] only if she has committed adultery, [and not for any other reason]. If a man divorces his wife [for any other reason, and he has sex with another woman], he makes his wife become one against whom he has committed adultery, [because in God’s estimation she still is his wife]. Also, if a man marries a woman who is divorced {whose husband has divorced her}, [God considers] him [guilty of] committing adultery.”
Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu: Setiap orang yang menceraikan isterinya kecuali karena zinah, ia menjadikan isterinya berzinah; dan siapa yang kawin dengan perempuan yang diceraikan, ia berbuat zinah.
33 “You have also heard [your religious teachers say] that it was written {that [Moses] wrote} to your ancestors, ‘Make sure that you do what you promised the Lord that you would do!’ [DOU]
Kamu telah mendengar pula yang difirmankan kepada nenek moyang kita: Jangan bersumpah palsu, melainkan peganglah sumpahmu di depan Tuhan.
34 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask a superior being to affirm [that what you are saying will happen. For example, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings in] heaven [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because heaven is where God [sits] on his throne [MTY] [to rule over people].
Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu: Janganlah sekali-kali bersumpah, baik demi langit, karena langit adalah takhta Allah,
35 [Also, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings] on earth [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because the earth is where God rests his feet [MET]. [Also, do] not [promise that you will do something and ask religious authorities] in Jerusalem [to affirm that you will do it], because Jerusalem is the city where [God], the great King [rules].
maupun demi bumi, karena bumi adalah tumpuan kaki-Nya, ataupun demi Yerusalem, karena Yerusalem adalah kota Raja Besar;
36 [Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that] your head [should be cut off] {[someone should cut off] your head} [if you do not do it]. You are not [even] able to [change the color of the hair of your head by] making one [black] hair white or one [white] hair black.
janganlah juga engkau bersumpah demi kepalamu, karena engkau tidak berkuasa memutihkan atau menghitamkan sehelai rambutpun.
37 [If you talk about doing something], just say ‘Yes, I [will do it],’ or ‘No, I [will not do it].’ [If you say] anything more than that, it is from [Satan], the Evil One.”
Jika ya, hendaklah kamu katakan: ya, jika tidak, hendaklah kamu katakan: tidak. Apa yang lebih dari pada itu berasal dari si jahat.
38 “You have heard [your religious teachers say] that [it is written] {[Moses wrote]}, ‘[Retaliate like this]: [If someone damages] one of your eyes, [someone should damage] one of that person’s eyes. [If someone damages] one of your teeth, [someone should damage] one of that person’s teeth.’
Kamu telah mendengar firman: Mata ganti mata dan gigi ganti gigi.
39 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Do not take revenge for evil [deeds done] {[that other people do]} [to you]. Instead, if someone [insults you by] striking you on one cheek, turn your other cheek toward that person [in order that he can strike it also].
Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu: Janganlah kamu melawan orang yang berbuat jahat kepadamu, melainkan siapapun yang menampar pipi kananmu, berilah juga kepadanya pipi kirimu.
40 If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
Dan kepada orang yang hendak mengadukan engkau karena mengingini bajumu, serahkanlah juga jubahmu.
41 If a [military authority] compels you to go with him one mile [and carry his gear], go with him two miles [and carry his gear].
Dan siapapun yang memaksa engkau berjalan sejauh satu mil, berjalanlah bersama dia sejauh dua mil.
42 Also, if someone asks you for [something], give [him what he is asking for]. If someone requests you to lend him [something], do not refuse [to lend it to him].”
Berilah kepada orang yang meminta kepadamu dan janganlah menolak orang yang mau meminjam dari padamu.
43 “You have heard [your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote], ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’
Kamu telah mendengar firman: Kasihilah sesamamu manusia dan bencilah musuhmu.
44 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Love your enemies [as well as your friends], and pray for those who cause you to suffer.
Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu: Kasihilah musuhmu dan berdoalah bagi mereka yang menganiaya kamu.
45 Do that in order to imitate what [God], your Father [who is] in heaven, does. He desires that you [MET] do [like he does]. [He acts kindly to all people. For example, he causes] the sun to shine [equally] on wicked [people] and on good [people], and [he sends] rain [both] on righteous [people] and on unrighteous [people].
Karena dengan demikianlah kamu menjadi anak-anak Bapamu yang di sorga, yang menerbitkan matahari bagi orang yang jahat dan orang yang baik dan menurunkan hujan bagi orang yang benar dan orang yang tidak benar.
46 If you love [only] the people who love you, ([do not expect God to] reward you [in heaven]!/will [God] reward you [in heaven]?) [RHQ] [This is based on the fact that everyone], even the tax collectors, [who you think are very great sinners], love [RHQ] those who love them. [If you act like them], ([you are not any different from tax collectors!/in what way are you different from tax collectors]?) [RHQ]
Apabila kamu mengasihi orang yang mengasihi kamu, apakah upahmu? Bukankah pemungut cukai juga berbuat demikian?
47 If you want [God] to bless only your friends, (you are not acting any better than other people!/are you acting any better than other people?) [RHQ] Even the non-Jews, [who you think sin very much] (OR, [you think are unacceptable to God]), want God to bless their friends [RHQ], [but God does not reward them for that].
Dan apabila kamu hanya memberi salam kepada saudara-saudaramu saja, apakah lebihnya dari pada perbuatan orang lain? Bukankah orang yang tidak mengenal Allahpun berbuat demikian?
48 [You need to love those who do not love you], and in that way become perfect as [God] your Father, [who is] in heaven, is perfect.”
Karena itu haruslah kamu sempurna, sama seperti Bapamu yang di sorga adalah sempurna."
