Matius 5
1 Ketika Yesus melihat rombongan orang mengikuti Dia, maka naiklah dia ke atas sebuah bukit. Di sana Yesus duduk bersama dengan murid-murid-Nya.
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].
2 Dan mulai mengajar mereka, katanya:
Then he began to teach them by saying,
3 “Berbahagialah mereka yang mengetahui bahwa mereka miskin rohani sebab punya merekalah kerajaan surga.
[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.
4 Berbahagialah mereka yang saat ini berdukacita, sebab mereka akan menerima penghiburan.
[God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
5 Berbahagialah mereka yang baik hati sebab mereka yang akan mewarisi bumi ini.
[God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
6 Berbahagialah mereka yang keinginan terbesar mereka adalah melakukan apa yang benar, sebab mereka akan merasa puas.
[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].
7 Berbahagialah orang yang penyayang, karena mereka akan diperlihatkan belas kasihan.
[God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
8 Berbahagialah mereka yang memiliki pikiran murni, sebab merekalah yang akan melihat Allah.
[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.
9 Berbahagialah mereka yang bekerja untuk mendatangkan kedamaian, sebab mereka akan disebut anak-anak Allah.
[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].
10 Berbahagialah mereka yang menderita karena hidup benar, sebab kerajaan Allah adalah milik mereka.
[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.
11 Berbahagialah kamu ketika orang-orang menghina dan menganiaya kamu, dan menuduhmu melakukan segala macam kejahatan karena Aku.
[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.
12 Bersukacitalah, benar-benar bergembiralah, sebab kamu akan menerima imbalan di surga — sebab mereka juga menganiaya nabi-nabi yang hidup sebelum kamu dengan cara yang sama.”
[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.
13 “Kalian bisa diumpamakan seperti garam, yang bisa memberi rasa asin pada dunia, tetapi jika garam itu menjadi tidak ada rasa, bagaimana bisa membuatkan kembali memiliki rasa? Garam itu menjadi sesuatu yang tidak berguna, yang akhirnya dibuang dan diinjak-injak.
“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].
14 Kalian juga bisa diumpamakan seperti terang bagi dunia ini. Seperti kota yang dibangun di atas bukit, sehingga tidak mungkin tidak terlihat.
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].
15 Tidak seorangpun menyalakan sebatang lilin lalu meletakkannya di bawah ember. Tetapi pasti diletakkan di atas tempat lilin sehingga lilin itu memberikan cahaya kepada semua orang yang ada di dalam rumah.
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.
16 Dengan cara yang sama, kamu harus membiarkan terang kamu bersinar di hadapan orang-orang sehingga mereka bisa melihat perbuatan-perbuatan baikmu dan memuji Bapamu yang ada di surga.
[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.”
17 Jangan berpikir bahwa Aku datang untuk meniadakan hukum Taurat ataupun tulisan para nabi. Aku datang bukan untuk meniadakannya, tetapi untuk memenuhinya.
“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].
18 Aku pastikan kepada kalian, bahwa sampai surga dan bumi ini berakhir, tidak satu huruf atau tanda baca yang sudah tertulis dalam hukum Taurat akan dibatalkan sampai segala sesuatunya tergenapi.
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.
19 Jadi siapapun yang mengabaikan perintah yang dianggap paling tidak penting, dan mengajarkan kepada orang lain untuk berlaku demikian, maka dia juga akan menjadi orang yang paling tidak penting di dalam kerajaan surga, tetapi barangsiapa yang melakukan dan mengajarkan perintah-perintah ini, akan dianggap orang yang luar biasa di kerajaan surga.
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.
20 Aku katakan kepadamu, jika cara hidup moralmu tidak lebih benar daripada para guru agama dan orang-orang Farisi, kamu tidak akan bisa masuk dalam kerajaan surga.
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.”
21 Kalian sudah mendengar bahwa hukum Taurat berkata kepada nenek moyang kita, ‘Janganlah membunuh, dan setiap orang yang membunuh akan diadili dan dihukum.’
“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]}.
22 Tetapi Aku katakan kepada kalian, siapapun yang marah kepada saudaranya akan dinyatakan bersalah. Dan siapapun yang menyebut saudaranya bodoh haruslah dihadapkan ke pengadilan, tetapi siapapun yang dengan perkataan jelas mencari maki saudaranya harus bersiap menghadapi api Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
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)
23 Dan jika kamu sedang di depan mezbah untuk membawa persembahanmu, dan kamu teringat bahwa ada seseorang yang sedang berseteru denganmu,
So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
24 maka tinggalkanlah persembahanmu itu dan berdamailah dengannya, dan sesudah itu barulah kamu datang kembali untuk memberikan persembahanmu itu.
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].
25 Jika kamu sedang berhadapan di pengadilan dengan musuhmu, segeralah kamu membereskan masalahmu dengan dia dan berdamailah. Jika tidak, musuhmu bisa saja menyerahkanmu ke tangan hakim, dan hakim akan menyerahkanmu kepada petugas pengadilan, dan kamu akan masuk ke dalam penjara.
[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.
26 Biar Saya beritahu yang sebenarnya kepadamu, kamu tidak akan keluar dari dalam penjara sampai kamu melunasi denda yang sudah ditetapkan oleh hakim itu.
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].”
27 Kalian juga sudah mendengar di dalam hukum Taurat, ‘Jangan berzina.’
“You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28 Tetapi Aku katakan ini kepada kalian, siapapun yang melihat dengan penuh hasrat birahi kepada seorang perempuan, sudah melakukan berzina dengan perempuan itu di dalam pikirannya.
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.
29 Jika salah satu matamu menyebabkan kamu berdosa, cungkillah mata itu keluar dan buanglah, sebab lebih baik kamu kehilangan salah satu anggota tubuhmu dari pada seluruh tubuhmu dilemparkan ke dalam api Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
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)
30 Jika salah satu tanganmu menyebabkan kamu melakukan dosa, potonglah dan buanglah itu, sebab lebih baik bagimu kehilangan salah satu anggota tubuhmu dari pada seluruh tubuhmu dilemparkan ke dalam api Gehena. (Geenna g1067)
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)
31 Hukum juga mengatakan, ‘Jika seorang laki-laki menceraikan istrinya, ia harus memberinya surat cerai.’
“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.’
32 Tetapi Aku berkata kepadamu bahwa siapa pun yang menceraikan istrinya kecuali karena amoralitas seksual menyebabkan dia berzinah, dan siapa pun menikahi wanita yang diceraikan melakukan perzinahan.
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.”
33 Kalian juga sudah mendengar, hukum Taurat berkata kepada nenek moyang kita, ‘Janganlah mengucapkan sumpah palsu. Sebaliknya, tepatilah sumpah yang sudah pernah kamu ucapkan kepada Tuhan.’
“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]
34 Tetapi Aku katakan kepada kalian, jangan pernah mengatakan sumpah sama sekali. Jangan bersumpah demi surga, sebab di sanalah Allah bertahta.
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].
35 Jangan bersumpah demi bumi, sebab bumi adalah tempat Allah meletakkan kaki-Nya. Jangan bersumpah demi Yerusalem, sebab kota itu adalah kota milik Raja Besar.
[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].
36 Bahkan jangan bersumpah demi kepalamu, sebab kamu bahkan tidak mampu membuat sehelai rambutmu pun berubah dari hitam ke putih.
[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.
37 Cukup katakan ‘ya’ jika kamu maksudkan ‘ya’ atau katakan ‘tidak’ jika kamu maksud ‘tidak’ — sebab menambahkan sesuatu yang lebih dari itu berasal dari si jahat.
[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.”
38 Kalian sudah mendengar hukum Taurat berkata, ‘Mata ganti mata, dan gigi ganti gigi.’
“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.’
39 Tetapi Aku katakan kepadamu, janganlah membalas orang yang berbuat jahat. Jika ada yang menampar pipi kananmu, biarkan mereka menampar pipi kirimu juga.
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].
40 Jika seorang pergi ke pengadilan karena ingin mengambil pakaianmu, berilah juga mantelmu.
If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
41 Jika seseorang memaksamu berjalan sepanjang satu kilometer, berjalanlah bersama dengannya sepanjang dua kilometer.
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].
42 Berikanlah barang yang diminta dari kamu, dan janganlah menolak mereka yang ingin meminjam darimu.
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].”
43 Kalian sudah mendengar bahwa dalam hukum Taurat ada tertulis, ‘Kasihilah tetanggamu dan bencilah musuhmu.’
“You have heard [your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote], ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’
44 Tetapi Aku berkata kepada kalian, kasihilah musuh kalian dan berdoalah untuk mereka yang menganiaya kalian,
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.
45 supaya kamu menjadi anak-anak Bapa surgawimu. Sebab matahari yang Dia ciptakan juga menerangi baik orang baik maupun orang jahat, dan hujan yang Dia turunkan juga jatuh untuk mereka yang melakukan perbuatan yang benar dan yang tidak benar.
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].
46 Sebab jika kalian hanya mengasihi orang yang mengasihi kamu, imbalan apa yang akan kamu dapat dari Allah? Sebab penagih pajak pun bisa melakukan hal itu.
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]
47 Jika kamu hanya berbuat baik kepada anggota keluargamu, apa bedanya kamu dengan orang-orang lain? Bahkan orang-orang yang tidak peduli dengan Allah juga melakukannya!
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].
48 Tumbuh dan menjadi benar-benar dapat dipercaya, seperti Bapa surgawi kalian dapat dipercaya.”
[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.”
