Matthew 7
1 “Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
“Janganlah kamu menghakimi orang lain, agar kamu juga tidak akan dihakimi.
2 If you condemn [other people], [God] will condemn you. To the same extent that you condemn others, you will be condemned {[God] will condemn you}.
Sebab standar yang kamu pakai untuk menghakimi orang lain akan digunakan juga untuk menghakimi kamu, dan ukuran apa yang kamu pakai untuk mengukur orang lain akan menjadi ukuran untuk mengukur kamu juga.
3 (None of you should be concerned [about someone else’s small faults] [MET]!/Why should any of you be concerned [about someone else’s small faults]?) [MET, RHQ] [That would be like noticing] a speck in that person’s eye. But you should [be concerned about your own big faults. They are like] [MET] planks in your own eye, which you do not notice.
Mengapa kamu melihat setitik serbuk gergaji di mata sesamamu? Tidakkah kamu sadar adanya selembar papan di matamu sendiri?
4 (You should not say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes!’/Why do you say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes?’) [RHQ] [You should not say that] if a plank is still in your own eye [MET].
Bagaimana kamu bisa berkata kepada sesamamu, ‘Mari saya tolong kamu mengeluarkan setitik dari matamu namun di saat yang sama kamu punya selembar papan di dalam matamu sendiri?’
5 You hypocrite, [stop committing your own sins! That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye [MET]. Then, as a result, you will be able to perceive things spiritually so that you can help other people get rid of the [faults] [MET] [that are like] specks in their eyes.”
Hai orang-orang munafik! Singkirkanlah dahulu selembar papan yang ada di dalam matamu. Maka kamu akan bisa melihat dengan jelas untuk mengeluarkan setitik yang ada di mata sesamamu.
6 “You do not give holy things to dogs [that would ignore those things] and attack you [CHI]. You do not throw pearls in front of hogs, [because they would just ignore them] and trample them. [Similarly], do not give [precious spiritual truth to people you know will not value it but instead will do evil things to you].”
Jangan beri anjing apa yang suci. Jangan lemparkan mutiaramu ke babi. Dengan begitu babi tidak akan menginjak-injaknya, dan anjing tidak akan berbalik dan menyerangmu.
7 “Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you. Confidently keep [expecting God to give you the things that you need, and he will give them to you. It will be like] [MET] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying persistently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] [MET] knocking [on a door in order to enter a room]. And the way will be opened {[God] will open the way} for you [to get what you pray for].
Mintalah, maka akan diberikan kepadamu. Carilah, maka kamu akan menemukannya. Ketuklah, maka pintu akan dibukakan untukmu.
8 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep persistently praying for].
Mereka yang meminta, akan menerima, yang mencari akan menemukan, dan yang mengetuk pintu, maka pintu akan dibukakan untuk mereka.
9 (No man among you would give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread./Would anyone among you give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread?) [RHQ]
Apakah ada di antara kamu yang memberi anakmu batu ketika dia minta roti untuk dimakan?
10 Likewise, (no man would give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish./would anyone give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish?) [RHQ]
Atau ketika dia minta seekor ikan, apakah kamu akan memberi dia seekor ular?
11 You, who are evil, know how to give good things to your children. So [God], your Father who is in heaven, will certainly give good things to the people who ask him.”
Jadi, jika kamu yang jahat saja tahu untuk memberikan yang baik untuk anak-anakmu, apalagi Bapa surgawimu yang akan memberikan hal-hal baik kepada mereka yang minta kepada-Nya.
12 “So in whatever way you want others to act toward you [(pl)], that is the way you [(pl)] should act toward them, because that [sums up what Moses wrote in] the laws [that God gave him] and [also what] the prophets [wrote long ago].”
Perlakukanlah orang lain seperti kamu ingin diperlakukan. Inilah meringkas yang hukum Taurat dan Kitab Nabi-nabi.
13 “[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)
Masuklah melalui jalan yang sempit itu. Sebab lebarlah jalan yang menuju kepada jalan kebinasaan, dan banyak orang yang melaluinya.
Tetapi sempit dan sulitlah jalan yang menuju kepada kehidupan kekal, dan hanya sedikit orang yang menemukannya.
15 “Beware of people who come to you and say falsely that they are telling you [what God has said]. [They seem to be harmless, but they are extremely harmful. They are like] wolves that have covered themselves with sheepskins [to make people believe that they are sheep] [MET], but they actually are wolves that attack people [MET].
Hati-hati dengan nabi palsu yang datang dengan memakai pakaian domba, tetetapi didalamnya adalah serigala ganas.
16 [So how will you know that they are false?] Well, by seeing what plants produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are [MET]. [For example, thornbushes cannot produce grapes], so (no one can pick grapes from thornbushes./can anyone pick grapes from thornbushes?) [RHQ] And [thistles cannot produce figs], so (no one can pick figs from thistles./can anyone pick figs from thistles?) [RHQ]
Kamu akan bisa mengenali mereka dari hasil perbuatan mereka. Tidak mungkin orang memanen buah anggur dari semak duri, atau buah ara dari onak berduri.
17 [Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
Jadi setiap pohon yang baik akan menghasilkan buah yang baik, sementara pohon yang buruk akan menghasilkan buah yang busuk.
18 No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
Setiap pohon yang baik tidak bisa menghasilkan buah yang tidak baik, demikian juga pohon yang tidak baik tidak bisa menghasilkan buah yang baik.
19 [And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them]. [Similarly], those who falsely claim to be prophets [will be thrown] {[God will throw false prophets]} [into the fires of hell]. (questioned)
Dan setiap pohon yang tidak menghasilkan buah yang baik akan ditebang dan dibakar.
20 By seeing [what plants] produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are. [Similarly, when you see what the people who come to you do], [you will know if they are false prophets].”
Jadi dari buahnyalah kamu akan mengenali pohon itu.
21 “[Even though many] people [habitually] call me ‘Lord’, [pretending that they have my authority], some of them will not go to heaven where God rules, [because they do not do what he desires]. [Only] those people who do what my Father, who is in heaven, desires [will go there].
Bukan setiap orang yang memanggil Aku, ‘Tuhan, Tuhan,’ akan masuk ke dalam kerajaan Surga — hanya mereka yang melakukan kehendak Bapa-Ku yang di surga yang akan masuk ke dalam kerajaan Surga.
22 On the day [MTY] [that God judges everyone], many [people, trying to tell me that they deserve to go to heaven], will say to me, ‘Lord, we(exc) spoke God’s message as your representatives [MTY, RHQ]! As your representatives we(exc) expelled demons from [people] [RHQ]! And as your representatives, many times we(exc) performed miracles [RHQ]!’
Banyak orang yang akan berkata kepada-Ku pada hari Penghakiman, ‘Tuhan, Tuhan, kami kan sudah bernubuat dalam nama-Mu dan mengusir setan dalam nama-Mu, dan juga melakukan banyak mujizat dalam nama-Mu.’
23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I have never said that you belonged to me. Go away from me, you who do what is evil!’”
Pada saat itulah Aku berkata kepada mereka, ‘Aku tidak pernah mengenal kamu. Tinggalkan Aku, hai para pelaku kejahatan!’
24 “So then, anyone who hears what I say and does what I command, will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
Setiap orang yang mendengar ucapan-Ku, dan mengikutinya, adalah seperti seorang bijak yang membangun rumahnya di atas pondasi yang kuat.
25 [Even though] the rain came down and the river flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it did not fall down because it had been built {he built it} on a solid foundation.
Lalu turunlah hujan, banjir datang, dan angin bertiup kencang menghantam rumah itu, tetapi rumah itu tidaklah runtuh, sebab dibangun di atas pondasi yang kokoh.
26 On the other hand, anyone who hears what I say but does not obey what I say will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Setiap orang yang mendengar ucapan-Ku, tetapi tidak melakukannya, adalah seperti orang bodoh yang membangun rumahnya di atas pasir.
27 When the rain fell and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it crashed down and broke completely apart, [because it was built on the sand. So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
Lalu turunlah hujan, datanglah banjir, dan angin bertiup menghantam rumah itu, maka rumah itupun rubuh — benar-benar rata dengan tanah.”
28 When Jesus finished saying all those things, the [who had been listening to him were] amazed at the [new] teaching that he had taught them.
Ketika Yesus selesai mengajarkan hal-hal ini, maka takjublah orang banyak itu,
29 The reason they were amazed was that he was teaching as a person does who has authority. He was not teaching like the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, [who just repeated what other people had taught them].
sebab Dia mengajar seperti seorang yang mempunyai otoritas, dan bukan seperti guru-guru agama mereka.
