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].
Waktu Yesus melihat orang banyak yang mengikuti-Nya, Dia naik ke atas bukit dan duduk di situ. Murid-murid-Nya berkumpul di sekeliling-Nya,
2 Then he began to teach them by saying,
dan Dia mulai mengajar mereka,
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.
“Sungguh diberkati Allah orang yang menyadari bahwa dirinya memiliki kebutuhan rohani, karena merekalah yang akan menjadi warga kerajaan Allah.
4 [God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
Sungguh diberkati Allah orang yang sekarang berdukacita, karena merekalah yang akan dihibur-Nya.
5 [God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
Sungguh diberkati Allah orang yang rendah hati, karena merekalah yang akan mewarisi bumi yang dijanjikan Allah.
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].
Sungguh diberkati Allah orang yang giat melakukan perbuatan benar lebih daripada makan dan minum, karena merekalah yang akan dipuaskan oleh Allah.
7 [God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
Sungguh diberkati Allah orang yang mengasihani orang lain, karena merekalah yang akan dikasihani oleh Allah.
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.
Sungguh diberkati Allah orang yang tulus hatinya, karena merekalah yang boleh memandang 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].
Sungguh diberkati Allah orang yang selalu berusaha mendatangkan damai di antara sesamanya, karena merekalah yang 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.
Sungguh diberkati Allah orang yang dianiaya karena hidup benar, karena mereka sudah menjadi warga kerajaan Allah.
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.
“Kamu juga sungguh diberkati Allah kalau kamu disakiti, dihina, dan difitnah karena mengikut Aku.
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 berkat yang besar sudah tersedia bagimu di surga. Ingatlah bahwa nabi-nabi di masa lalu juga dianiaya seperti itu.”
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 ibarat garam di dunia ini, bila kamu memberi pengaruh yang baik. Garam memberi rasa bagi makanan, demikianlah pengaruh baik memberi dampak bagi dunia. Hendaklah kamu menjadi seperti garam. Kalau kamu tidak memberi pengaruh baik, kamu sama seperti garam yang kehilangan rasa asinnya. Garam seperti itu tidak berguna lagi dan hanya akan dibuang dan diinjak-injak 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 ibarat terang di dalam dunia yang gelap ini, bila baik cara hidupmu. Seperti kota yang terletak di atas bukit selalu terlihat dari jauh, demikianlah seharusnya cara hidupmu menjadi teladan baik yang terlihat bagi semua orang.
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.
Begitu juga, tidak ada orang yang menyalakan pelita lalu menutupnya dengan tempayan. Pelita selalu ditaruh di tempat yang tinggi supaya sinarnya menerangi semua orang di dalam rumah.
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 sinarmu menerangi orang lain. Artinya, lakukanlah perbuatan yang baik setiap saat, sehingga waktu orang lain melihat teladanmu, mereka memuliakan Bapamu yang di surga.”
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 berpikir bahwa Aku datang untuk membatalkan hukum Taurat atau kitab para nabi. Aku datang bukan untuk membatalkannya, tetapi untuk menggenapi semua yang tertulis di dalamnya.
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.
Aku menegaskan kepadamu: Selama masih ada langit dan bumi, tidak ada satu pun yang akan dibatalkan dari hukum Taurat, biarpun hanya satu huruf atau satu titik. Semuanya akan terus berlaku dan setiap nubuatan yang ada di dalamnya pasti akan 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.
“Maka janganlah berpikir bahwa ada perintah dalam Hukum itu yang tidak berguna. Orang yang melanggar salah satu perintah yang paling ringan sekali pun dan mengajar orang lain untuk melanggarnya juga, dia akan dianggap yang terkecil di dalam kerajaan Allah. Tetapi orang yang melakukan seluruh perintah hukum Taurat dan mengajar orang lain untuk melakukannya juga, dia akan sangat dihormati di dalam kerajaan Allah.
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.”
Jadi Aku sungguh-sungguh berkata kepadamu: Kalau hidupmu tidak lebih benar daripada para ahli Taurat dan kelompok Farisi, kamu sama sekali tidak bisa menjadi anggota kerajaan Allah.”
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]}.
“Kita sudah mendengar pengajaran bahwa Musa memberi perintah kepada nenek moyang kita, ‘Jangan membunuh,’ dan ‘Siapa pun yang membunuh harus diadili dan 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: Siapa pun yang marah kepada orang lain tanpa alasan yang benar akan dihukum Allah. Siapa pun yang menghina orang lain akan menghadap pengadilan Allah. Dan siapa pun yang mengatai orang lain ‘Kamu bodoh’, pantas dilemparkan ke dalam api neraka. (Geenna g1067)
23 So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
“Karena itu, kalau kamu sedang membawa persembahanmu ke mezbah di rumah Allah, dan tiba-tiba kamu teringat bahwa ada orang yang sakit hati kepadamu,
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 itu di depan mezbah. Kemudian pergilah kepada orang itu dan pulihkanlah hubunganmu dengan dia. Sesudah itu barulah berikan persembahanmu kepada Allah.
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.
“Ibaratnya begini: Kalau ada orang yang hendak mengadukanmu ke pengadilan, segeralah berusaha menyelesaikan masalahmu dengan lawanmu itu sebelum dia sampai di pengadilan. Karena kalau dia sudah melaporkanmu kepada hakim, maka hakim akan menyerahkanmu kepada petugas penjara, dan kamu akan dipenjara.
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 menegaskan kepadamu: Kamu tidak bisa keluar dari penjara itu sampai kamu membayar lunas semua hutangmu dan denda yang ditetapkan oleh hakim!”
27 “You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
“Kita sudah mendengar pengajaran bahwa Musa memberi perintah, ‘Jangan berzina.’
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 laki-laki yang memandang perempuan dengan hawa nafsu dan membayangkan bersetubuh dengannya, meski hanya dalam pikiran, sesungguhnya dia sudah melakukan dosa zina.
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)
Kalau matamu menyebabkan kamu berdosa, sekalipun itu matamu yang paling baik, cungkil dan buanglah matamu itu! Lebih baik kamu kehilangan salah satu anggota tubuhmu daripada kamu dilemparkan ke dalam neraka dengan tubuh yang lengkap. (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)
Begitu juga, kalau tanganmu menyebabkan kamu berdosa, sekalipun itu tanganmu yang paling kuat, potong dan buanglah tanganmu itu! Lebih baik kamu kehilangan salah satu anggota tubuhmu daripada kamu dilemparkan ke dalam neraka dengan tubuh yang lengkap.” (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.’
“Kita juga sudah mendengar pengajaran tentang perintah Musa yaitu, ‘Setiap suami yang menceraikan istrinya harus memberikan 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: Satu-satunya alasan seorang suami boleh menceraikan istrinya adalah kalau istrinya itu terbukti berzina. Tetapi kalau istrinya tidak berzina dan suaminya menceraikan dia karena hal lain, berarti suami itu seakan mendorong istrinya untuk berzina. Sebab kalau istri yang diceraikan itu menikah lagi, di hadapan Allah pasangan baru itu dianggap berzina. Setiap laki-laki yang menikah dengan perempuan yang sudah diceraikan juga dianggap berzina di mata Allah.”
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]
“Kita juga sudah mendengar pengajaran bahwa Musa memberikan perintah ini kepada nenek moyang kita, ‘Kalau kamu berjanji atas nama TUHAN untuk melakukan sesuatu, jangan sampai kamu tidak menepati janji itu. Tepatilah segala sesuatu yang sudah kamu janjikan dengan menyebut nama 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 menyebut apa pun sebagai saksi untuk menguatkan sumpahmu. Janganlah menyebut demi surga, karena itu tempat 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].
Jangan menyebut demi bumi, karena bumi merupakan tempat Allah menaruh kaki-Nya ketika Dia duduk di atas takhta-Nya. Jangan pula menyebut demi Yerusalem, karena itu adalah ibukota Raja Mahabesar.
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.
Bahkan tidak boleh menyebut kepalamu sendiri sebagai saksi atas sumpahmu, karena kamu tidak sanggup membuat sehelai pun dari rambutmu menjadi hitam atau putih.
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.”
Jadi biarlah kamu hanya berkata, ‘Itu benar’ kalau hal itu benar, atau ‘Itu salah’ kalau hal itu salah. Janganlah menambah apa pun untuk menguatkan sumpah atau perjanjianmu, karena apa pun yang kamu tambahkan berasal dari iblis.”
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.’
“Kita sudah mendengar pengajaran tentang perintah Musa bahwa ‘Siapa pun yang mencederai mata atau gigi orang lain, maka sebagai hukumannya, mata atau gigi orang itu juga harus dicederai.’
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 melawan orang yang berbuat jahat kepadamu. Kalau seseorang menampar pipi kananmu, berikanlah juga pipi kirimu.
40 If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
Kalau seseorang mengadukan kamu ke pengadilan dan menuntut bajumu, berikanlah juga jubahmu kepadanya.
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].
Kalau seorang tentara memaksamu memikul barangnya sejauh satu kilometer, bersedialah memikul barangnya itu sejauh dua kilometer.
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].”
Kalau seseorang meminta sesuatu kepadamu, berikanlah. Dan kalau seseorang mau meminjam sesuatu darimu, jangan menolaknya.”
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.’
“Kita juga sudah mendengar pengajaran, ‘Kasihilah saudara-saudari kita sebangsa, tetapi kita boleh membenci bangsa lain yang memusuhi kita.’
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 setiap orang yang memusuhimu. Berkatilah setiap orang yang mengutukmu. Berbuat baiklah kepada semua orang yang membencimu, dan berdoalah bagi setiap orang yang menghina serta 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 bila kamu berbuat demikian, kamu sedang mengikuti teladan Bapamu yang di surga, sebab Dia baik kepada semua orang. Misalnya, Dia membuat matahari bersinar untuk orang baik maupun jahat. Dia juga menurunkan hujan bagi orang yang hidupnya benar maupun yang berlaku jahat.
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]
Kalau kamu hanya mengasihi teman yang mengasihimu, jangan harap Allah akan memberi upah kepadamu atas kasihmu itu, karena para penagih pajak dan orang-orang berdosa yang lain pun mengasihi orang yang mengasihi mereka.
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 kalau kamu hanya memberi salam kepada teman-temanmu saja, jangan berpikir Allah akan menganggap kamu lebih baik daripada orang lain, karena orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah pun memberi salam kepada teman-teman mereka.
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.”
Hendaklah kamu mengasihi semua orang! Dengan demikian kamu akan menjadi sempurna, sama seperti Bapamu yang di surga adalah sempurna.”
