Lukas 1
1 Teofilus yang budiman, Banyak orang sudah berusaha menulis dengan teratur mengenai peristiwa-peristiwa yang telah terjadi di tengah-tengah kita.
Forasmuch as many have undertaken to draw up a relation concerning the matters fully believed among us,
2 Mereka menulis sesuai dengan yang diceritakan kepada kita oleh orang-orang yang melihat sendiri peristiwa-peristiwa itu dari permulaan, dan kemudian menyiarkan kabarnya.
as those who from the beginning were eye-witnesses of and attendants on the Word have delivered them to us,
3 Setelah saya dengan teliti menyelidiki semuanya itu dari permulaannya, saya menganggap baik untuk menulis sebuah laporan yang teratur untuk Tuan.
it has seemed good to me also, accurately acquainted from the origin with all things, to write to thee with method, most excellent Theophilus,
4 Saya melakukan itu, supaya Tuan tahu bahwa apa yang telah diajarkan kepada Tuan memang benar.
that thou mightest know the certainty of those things in which thou hast been instructed.
5 Ketika Herodes menjadi raja negeri Yudea, ada seorang imam bernama Zakharia. Ia termasuk golongan imam-imam Abia. Istrinya bernama Elisabet, juga keturunan imam.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abia, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
6 Kehidupan suami istri itu menyenangkan hati Allah. Keduanya mentaati semua perintah dan Hukum Tuhan dengan sepenuhnya.
And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 Mereka tidak mempunyai anak sebab Elisabet mandul dan mereka kedua-duanya sudah tua.
And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both advanced in years.
8 Pada suatu hari, waktu golongan Abia mendapat giliran, Zakharia menjalankan tugas sebagai imam di hadapan Allah.
And it came to pass, as he fulfilled his priestly service before God in the order of his course,
9 Dengan undian, yang biasanya dilakukan oleh imam-imam, Zakharia ditunjuk untuk masuk ke dalam Rumah Tuhan dan membakar kemenyan.
it fell to him by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter into the temple of the Lord to burn incense.
10 Sementara upacara pembakaran kemenyan diadakan, orang banyak berdoa di luar.
And all the multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense.
11 Pada waktu itu malaikat Tuhan menampakkan diri kepada Zakharia. Malaikat itu berdiri di sebelah kanan meja tempat membakar kemenyan.
And an angel of [the] Lord appeared to him, standing on the right of the altar of incense.
12 Ketika Zakharia melihat malaikat itu, ia bingung dan takut.
And Zacharias was troubled, seeing [him], and fear fell upon him.
13 Tetapi malaikat itu berkata, "Jangan takut, Zakharia! Allah sudah mendengar doamu. Istrimu Elisabet akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki. Engkau harus memberi nama Yohanes kepadanya.
But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
14 Engkau akan sangat gembira dan banyak orang akan bersukaria bila anak itu lahir nanti!
And he shall be to thee joy and rejoicing, and many shall rejoice at his birth.
15 Ia akan menjadi orang besar menurut pandangan Tuhan, dan ia tidak akan minum anggur atau minuman keras. Sejak lahir ia akan dikuasai oleh Roh Allah.
For he shall be great before [the] Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with [the] Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
16 Banyak orang Israel akan dibimbingnya kembali kepada Allah, Tuhan mereka.
And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to [the] Lord their God.
17 Ia akan menjadi utusan Tuhan yang kuat dan berkuasa seperti Elia. Ia akan mendamaikan bapak dengan anak, dan orang yang tidak taat akan dipimpinnya kembali pada jalan pikiran yang benar. Dengan demikian ia menyediakan suatu umat yang sudah siap untuk Tuhan."
And he shall go before him in [the] spirit and power of Elias, to turn hearts of fathers to children, and disobedient ones to [the] thoughts of just [men], to make ready for [the] Lord a prepared people.
18 "Bagaimana saya tahu bahwa hal itu akan terjadi?" tanya Zakharia kepada malaikat itu. "Saya sudah tua, dan istri saya juga sudah tua."
And Zacharias said to the angel, How shall I know this, for I am an old man, and my wife advanced in years?
19 Malaikat itu menjawab, "Saya ini Gabriel. Saya melayani Allah dan Ialah yang menyuruh saya menyampaikan kabar baik ini kepadamu.
And the angel answering, said to him, I am Gabriel, who stand before God, and I have been sent to speak to thee, and to bring these glad tidings to thee;
20 Apa yang saya katakan, akan terjadi pada waktunya. Tetapi karena engkau tidak percaya, engkau nanti tidak dapat berbicara; engkau akan bisu sampai apa yang saya katakan itu terjadi."
and behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, till the day in which these things shall take place, because thou hast not believed my words, the which shall be fulfilled in their time.
21 Sementara itu, orang-orang terus menantikan Zakharia. Mereka heran mengapa ia begitu lama di dalam Rumah Tuhan.
And the people were awaiting Zacharias, and they wondered at his delaying in the temple.
22 Dan pada waktu ia keluar, ia tidak dapat berbicara kepada mereka. Ia terus saja memberi isyarat dengan tangannya, dan tetap bisu. Maka orang-orang pun tahu bahwa ia sudah melihat suatu penglihatan di dalam Rumah Tuhan.
But when he came out he could not speak to them, and they recognised that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them, and continued dumb.
23 Setelah habis masa tugasnya di Rumah Tuhan, Zakharia pun pulang ke rumah.
And it came to pass, when the days of his service were completed, he departed to his house.
24 Tidak berapa lama kemudian, Elisabet istrinya mengandung, lalu mengurung diri di rumah lima bulan lamanya.
Now after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
25 Ia berkata, "Akhirnya Tuhan menolong saya dan menghapuskan kehinaan saya."
Thus has [the] Lord done to me in [these] days in which he looked upon [me] to take away my reproach among men.
26 Ketika Elisabet sudah mengandung enam bulan, Allah menyuruh malaikat Gabriel pergi ke Nazaret, sebuah kota di daerah Galilea.
But in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent of God to a city of Galilee, of which [the] name [was] Nazareth,
27 Gabriel diutus kepada seorang perawan, bernama Maria. Perawan itu sudah bertunangan dengan seorang yang bernama Yusuf, keturunan Raja Daud.
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
28 Malaikat itu datang kepada Maria dan berkata, "Salam, engkau yang diberkati Tuhan secara istimewa! Tuhan bersama dengan engkau!"
And the angel came in to her, and said, Hail, [thou] favoured one! the Lord [is] with thee: [blessed art thou amongst women].
29 Mendengar perkataan malaikat itu Maria terkejut, sehingga bertanya-tanya dalam hati apa maksud salam itu.
But she, [seeing] [the angel], was troubled at his word, and reasoned in her mind what this salutation might be.
30 Maka malaikat itu berkata kepadanya, "Jangan takut, Maria, sebab engkau berkenan di hati Allah.
And the angel said to her, Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God;
31 Engkau akan mengandung dan melahirkan seorang anak, yang harus engkau beri nama Yesus.
and behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb and bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
32 Ia akan menjadi agung dan akan disebut Anak Allah Yang Mahatinggi. Tuhan Allah akan menjadikan Dia raja seperti Raja Daud, nenek moyang-Nya.
He shall be great, and shall be called Son of [the] Highest; and [the] Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father;
33 Dan Ia akan memerintah sebagai raja atas keturunan Yakub selama-lamanya. Kerajaan-Nya tidak akan berakhir." (aiōn g165)
and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for the ages, and of his kingdom there shall not be an end. (aiōn g165)
34 "Tetapi saya masih perawan," kata Maria kepada malaikat itu, "bagaimana hal itu bisa terjadi?"
But Mary said to the angel, How shall this be, since I know not a man?
35 Malaikat itu menjawab, "Roh Allah akan datang kepadamu, dan kuasa Allah akan meliputi engkau. Itulah sebabnya anak yang akan lahir itu akan disebut Kudus, Anak Allah.
And the angel answering said to her, [The] Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and power of [the] Highest overshadow thee, wherefore the holy thing also which shall be born shall be called Son of God.
36 Ingat: Elisabet, sanak saudaramu itu sudah hamil enam bulan, walaupun ia sudah tua dan orang mengatakan bahwa ia mandul.
And behold, Elizabeth, thy kinswoman, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her that was called barren:
37 Sebab untuk Allah tidak ada yang mustahil."
for nothing shall be impossible with God.
38 Lalu Maria berkata, "Saya ini hamba Tuhan; biarlah terjadi pada saya seperti yang engkau katakan." Lalu malaikat itu pergi meninggalkan Maria.
And Mary said, Behold the bondmaid of [the] Lord; be it to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 Segera sesudah itu, Maria pergi ke sebuah kota di Yudea di daerah pegunungan.
And Mary, rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
40 Ia pergi ke rumah Zakharia, dan ketika masuk, ia memberi salam kepada Elisabet.
and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 Dan begitu Elisabet mendengar salam Maria, anak yang di dalam kandungan Elisabet itu bergerak. Maka Elisabet dikuasai oleh Roh Allah,
And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with [the] Holy Spirit,
42 lalu berseru, "Engkaulah yang paling diberkati di antara semua wanita! Diberkatilah anak yang akan kaulahirkan itu!
and cried out with a loud voice and said, Blessed [art] thou amongst women, and blessed the fruit of thy womb.
43 Siapa saya sehingga ibu Tuhan datang kepada saya?
And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 Begitu saya mendengar salammu, anak dalam kandungan saya bergerak kegirangan.
For behold, as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the babe leaped with joy in my womb.
45 Bahagialah engkau, karena percaya bahwa apa yang dikatakan Tuhan kepadamu itu akan terjadi!"
And blessed [is] she that has believed, for there shall be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her from [the] Lord.
46 Maria berkata, "Hatiku memuji Tuhan,
And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 dan jiwaku bersukaria karena Allah Penyelamatku.
and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour.
48 Ia ingat daku, hamba-Nya yang hina! Mulai sekarang semua bangsa mengatakan aku bahagia.
For he has looked upon the low estate of his bondmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
49 Karena Allah Yang Mahakuasa melakukan hal-hal besar padaku. Sucilah nama-Nya.
For the Mighty One has done to me great things, and holy [is] his name;
50 Keturunan demi keturunan Tuhan menaruh belas kasihan kepada orang yang takut kepada-Nya.
and his mercy [is] to generations and generations to them that fear him.
51 Dengan tangan-Nya yang perkasa Ia menceraiberaikan orang sombong, dan mengacaukan rencana mereka.
He has wrought strength with his arm; he has scattered haughty [ones] in the thought of their heart.
52 Raja-raja diturunkan-Nya dari takhta dan orang hina ditinggikan.
He has put down rulers from thrones, and exalted the lowly.
53 Orang lapar dipuaskan-Nya dengan segala kebaikan, si kaya diusir dengan hampa.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent away the rich empty.
54 Ia menolong Israel hamba-Nya, menurut janji yang dibuat-Nya dengan nenek moyang kita.
He has helped Israel his servant, in order to remember mercy,
55 Tuhan tidak lupa janji-Nya, Ia bermurah hati kepada Abraham dan keturunannya sampai selamanya." (aiōn g165)
(as he spoke to our fathers, ) to Abraham and to his seed for ever. (aiōn g165)
56 Kira-kira tiga bulan lamanya Maria tinggal dengan Elisabet, baru ia pulang ke rumahnya.
And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her house.
57 Sampailah waktunya bagi Elisabet untuk bersalin. Ia melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
But the time was fulfilled for Elizabeth that she should bring forth, and she gave birth to a son.
58 Tetangga-tetangga dan sanak saudaranya mendengar betapa baiknya Tuhan terhadap Elisabet, dan mereka pun ikut bergembira dengan dia.
And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard that [the] Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they rejoiced with her.
59 Waktu bayi itu berumur delapan hari, mereka datang untuk menyunat dia. Mereka mau menamakan bayi itu Zakharia menurut nama ayahnya,
And it came to pass on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called it after the name of his father, Zacharias.
60 tetapi ibunya berkata, "Tidak! Ia harus diberi nama Yohanes."
And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.
61 "Tidak seorang pun dari sanak saudaramu bernama begitu," kata mereka kepadanya.
And they said to her, There is no one among thy kinsfolk who is called by this name.
62 Lalu dengan isyarat, mereka bertanya kepada Zakharia nama apa yang mau diberikannya kepada anaknya.
And they made signs to his father as to what he might wish it to be called.
63 Zakharia meminta sebuah batu tulis lalu menulis, "Namanya Yohanes." Mereka semua heran.
And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.
64 Pada waktu itu juga Zakharia dapat berbicara lagi dan memuji Allah.
And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake, blessing God.
65 Tetangga-tetangganya semua takut, dan kabar itu tersebar ke seluruh daerah pegunungan Yudea.
And fear came upon all who dwelt round about them; and in the whole hill-country of Judaea all these things were the subject of conversation.
66 Semua orang yang mendengar hal itu bertanya dalam hati, "Menjadi apakah anak itu nanti?" Sebab Tuhan menyertai dia.
And all who heard them laid them up in their heart, saying, What then will this child be? And [the] Lord's hand was with him.
67 Zakharia, ayah dari anak itu, dikuasai oleh Roh Allah sehingga ia menyampaikan pesan dari Tuhan. Ia berkata,
And Zacharias his father was filled with [the] Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying,
68 "Mari kita memuji Tuhan, Allah bangsa Israel! Ia telah datang menolong umat-Nya dan membebaskan mereka.
Blessed be [the] Lord the God of Israel, because he has visited and wrought redemption for his people,
69 Ia memberi kita penyelamat yang perkasa, keturunan Daud, hamba-Nya.
and raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of David his servant;
as he spoke by [the] mouth of his holy prophets, who have been since the world began; (aiōn g165)
71 untuk menyelamatkan kita dari musuh kita dan dari kuasa orang-orang yang membenci kita.
deliverance from our enemies and out of the hand of all who hate us;
72 Untuk menunjukkan kemurahan hati-Nya kepada leluhur kita, janji-Nya yang suci itu akan ditepati-Nya.
to fulfil mercy with our fathers and remember his holy covenant,
73 Ia bersumpah kepada Abraham bapak kita, dan berjanji untuk menyelamatkan kita dari musuh kita, supaya kita tanpa takut melayani Dia
[the] oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
to give us, that, saved out of the hand of our enemies, we should serve him without fear
75 selalu mengabdi kepada-Nya dan menyenangkan hati-Nya sepanjang hidup kita.
in piety and righteousness before him all our days.
76 Engkau, hai anakku, akan disebut nabi Allah Yang Mahatinggi. Engkau diutus mendahului Tuhan untuk merintis jalan bagi-Nya,
And thou, child, shalt be called [the] prophet of [the] Highest; for thou shalt go before the face of [the] Lord to make ready his ways;
77 untuk mewartakan kepada umat-Nya bahwa mereka akan diselamatkan, kalau Allah sudah mengampuni dosa-dosa mereka.
to give knowledge of deliverance to his people by [the] remission of their sins
78 Tuhan kita murah hati lagi penyayang; guna menyelamatkan kita Ia datang. Seperti matahari terbit di pagi hari,
on account of [the] bowels of mercy of our God; wherein [the] dayspring from on high has visited us,
79 demikianlah Ia memberikan terang-Nya kepada semua orang yang hidup di dalam kegelapan dan ketakutan. Ia membimbing kita pada jalan yang menuju kedamaian."
to shine upon them who were sitting in darkness and in [the] shadow of death, to guide our feet into [the] way of peace.
80 Anak Zakharia itu bertambah besar dan bertambah kuat rohnya. Ia tinggal di padang gurun, sampai tiba waktunya ia menyatakan dirinya kepada bangsa Israel.
— And the child grew and was strengthened in spirit; and he was in the deserts until the day of his shewing to Israel.
