< Yohanes 11 >
1 Ada seorang yang sedang sakit, namanya Lazarus. Ia tinggal di Betania, kampung Maria dan adiknya Marta.
Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 Maria ialah perempuan yang pernah meminyaki kaki Tuhan dengan minyak mur dan menyekanya dengan rambutnya.
(Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.)
3 Dan Lazarus yang sakit itu adalah saudaranya. Kedua perempuan itu mengirim kabar kepada Yesus: "Tuhan, dia yang Engkau kasihi, sakit."
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, behold, the one yoʋ love is sick.”
4 Ketika Yesus mendengar kabar itu, Ia berkata: "Penyakit itu tidak akan membawa kematian, tetapi akan menyatakan kemuliaan Allah, sebab oleh penyakit itu Anak Allah akan dimuliakan."
But when Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not end in death but is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Yesus memang mengasihi Marta dan kakaknya dan Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, her sister Mary, and Lazarus.
6 Namun setelah didengar-Nya, bahwa Lazarus sakit, Ia sengaja tinggal dua hari lagi di tempat, di mana Ia berada;
But when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days.
7 tetapi sesudah itu Ia berkata kepada murid-murid-Nya: "Mari kita kembali lagi ke Yudea."
After that he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
8 Murid-murid itu berkata kepada-Nya: "Rabi, baru-baru ini orang-orang Yahudi mencoba melempari Engkau, masih maukah Engkau kembali ke sana?"
The disciples said to him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just recently seeking to stone yoʋ, and yet you are going there again?”
9 Jawab Yesus: "Bukankah ada dua belas jam dalam satu hari? Siapa yang berjalan pada siang hari, kakinya tidak terantuk, karena ia melihat terang dunia ini.
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Tetapi jikalau seorang berjalan pada malam hari, kakinya terantuk, karena terang tidak ada di dalam dirinya."
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
11 Demikianlah perkataan-Nya, dan sesudah itu Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Lazarus, saudara kita, telah tertidur, tetapi Aku pergi ke sana untuk membangunkan dia dari tidurnya."
After saying this, he said to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
12 Maka kata murid-murid itu kepada-Nya: "Tuhan, jikalau ia tertidur, ia akan sembuh."
His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Tetapi maksud Yesus ialah tertidur dalam arti mati, sedangkan sangka mereka Yesus berkata tentang tertidur dalam arti biasa.
(They thought Jesus was speaking about natural sleep, but he was actually speaking about Lazarus' death.)
14 Karena itu Yesus berkata dengan terus terang: "Lazarus sudah mati;
Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
15 tetapi syukurlah Aku tidak hadir pada waktu itu, sebab demikian lebih baik bagimu, supaya kamu dapat belajar percaya. Marilah kita pergi sekarang kepadanya."
and I rejoice for your sake that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 Lalu Tomas, yang disebut Didimus, berkata kepada teman-temannya, yaitu murid-murid yang lain: "Marilah kita pergi juga untuk mati bersama-sama dengan Dia."
Then Thomas (called Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let us go too, so that we may die with him.”
17 Maka ketika Yesus tiba, didapati-Nya Lazarus telah empat hari berbaring di dalam kubur.
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days already.
18 Betania terletak dekat Yerusalem, kira-kira dua mil jauhnya.
Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,
19 Di situ banyak orang Yahudi telah datang kepada Marta dan Maria untuk menghibur mereka berhubung dengan kematian saudaranya.
and many of the Jews had joined the women who were with Martha and Mary, to console them about their brother.
20 Ketika Marta mendengar, bahwa Yesus datang, ia pergi mendapatkan-Nya. Tetapi Maria tinggal di rumah.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained seated in the house.
21 Maka kata Marta kepada Yesus: "Tuhan, sekiranya Engkau ada di sini, saudaraku pasti tidak mati.
Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if yoʋ had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Tetapi sekarangpun aku tahu, bahwa Allah akan memberikan kepada-Mu segala sesuatu yang Engkau minta kepada-Nya."
But even now I know that God will give yoʋ whatever yoʋ ask of him.”
23 Kata Yesus kepada Marta: "Saudaramu akan bangkit."
Jesus said to her, “Yoʋr brother will rise again.”
24 Kata Marta kepada-Nya: "Aku tahu bahwa ia akan bangkit pada waktu orang-orang bangkit pada akhir zaman."
Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.”
25 Jawab Yesus: "Akulah kebangkitan dan hidup; barangsiapa percaya kepada-Ku, ia akan hidup walaupun ia sudah mati,
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, yet shall he live.
26 dan setiap orang yang hidup dan yang percaya kepada-Ku, tidak akan mati selama-lamanya. Percayakah engkau akan hal ini?" (aiōn )
No one who lives and believes in me will ever die. Do yoʋ believe this?” (aiōn )
27 Jawab Marta: "Ya, Tuhan, aku percaya, bahwa Engkaulah Mesias, Anak Allah, Dia yang akan datang ke dalam dunia."
She said to him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
28 Dan sesudah berkata demikian ia pergi memanggil saudaranya Maria dan berbisik kepadanya: "Guru ada di sana dan Ia memanggil engkau."
After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for yoʋ.”
29 Mendengar itu Maria segera bangkit lalu pergi mendapatkan Yesus.
When Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to him.
30 Tetapi waktu itu Yesus belum sampai ke dalam kampung itu. Ia masih berada di tempat Marta menjumpai Dia.
(Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was in the place where Martha had met him.)
31 Ketika orang-orang Yahudi yang bersama-sama dengan Maria di rumah itu untuk menghiburnya, melihat bahwa Maria segera bangkit dan pergi ke luar, mereka mengikutinya, karena mereka menyangka bahwa ia pergi ke kubur untuk meratap di situ.
When the Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw her rise quickly and go out, they followed her, saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”
32 Setibanya Maria di tempat Yesus berada dan melihat Dia, tersungkurlah ia di depan kaki-Nya dan berkata kepada-Nya: "Tuhan, sekiranya Engkau ada di sini, saudaraku pasti tidak mati."
When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if yoʋ had been here, my brother would not have died.”
33 Ketika Yesus melihat Maria menangis dan juga orang-orang Yahudi yang datang bersama-sama dia, maka masygullah hati-Nya. Ia sangat terharu dan berkata:
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and troubled.
34 "Di manakah dia kamu baringkan?" Jawab mereka: "Tuhan, marilah dan lihatlah!"
He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Maka menangislah Yesus.
Jesus wept.
36 Kata orang-orang Yahudi: "Lihatlah, betapa kasih-Nya kepadanya!"
So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37 Tetapi beberapa orang di antaranya berkata: "Ia yang memelekkan mata orang buta, tidak sanggupkah Ia bertindak, sehingga orang ini tidak mati?"
But some of them said, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have also kept this man from dying?”
38 Maka masygullah pula hati Yesus, lalu Ia pergi ke kubur itu. Kubur itu adalah sebuah gua yang ditutup dengan batu.
Deeply moved once more, Jesus came to the tomb. (It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.)
39 Kata Yesus: "Angkat batu itu!" Marta, saudara orang yang meninggal itu, berkata kepada-Nya: "Tuhan, ia sudah berbau, sebab sudah empat hari ia mati."
Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the man who had died, said to him, “Lord, there is already a stench, for it is the fourth day.”
40 Jawab Yesus: "Bukankah sudah Kukatakan kepadamu: Jikalau engkau percaya engkau akan melihat kemuliaan Allah?"
Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell yoʋ that if yoʋ believed yoʋ would see the glory of God?”
41 Maka mereka mengangkat batu itu. Lalu Yesus menengadah ke atas dan berkata: "Bapa, Aku mengucap syukur kepada-Mu, karena Engkau telah mendengarkan Aku.
So they took away the stone from where the dead man was lying. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank yoʋ that yoʋ have heard me.
42 Aku tahu, bahwa Engkau selalu mendengarkan Aku, tetapi oleh karena orang banyak yang berdiri di sini mengelilingi Aku, Aku mengatakannya, supaya mereka percaya, bahwa Engkaulah yang telah mengutus Aku."
I know that yoʋ always hear me, but I say this for the benefit of the crowd that is standing here, so that they may believe that yoʋ sent me.”
43 Dan sesudah berkata demikian, berserulah Ia dengan suara keras: "Lazarus, marilah ke luar!"
After saying this, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Orang yang telah mati itu datang ke luar, kaki dan tangannya masih terikat dengan kain kapan dan mukanya tertutup dengan kain peluh. Kata Yesus kepada mereka: "Bukalah kain-kain itu dan biarkan ia pergi."
Then the man who had died came out, his feet and his hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
45 Banyak di antara orang-orang Yahudi yang datang melawat Maria dan yang menyaksikan sendiri apa yang telah dibuat Yesus, percaya kepada-Nya.
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.
46 Tetapi ada yang pergi kepada orang-orang Farisi dan menceriterakan kepada mereka, apa yang telah dibuat Yesus itu.
But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Lalu imam-imam kepala dan orang-orang Farisi memanggil Mahkamah Agama untuk berkumpul dan mereka berkata: "Apakah yang harus kita buat? Sebab orang itu membuat banyak mujizat.
So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a meeting of the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? For this man is doing many signs.
48 Apabila kita biarkan Dia, maka semua orang akan percaya kepada-Nya dan orang-orang Roma akan datang dan akan merampas tempat suci kita serta bangsa kita."
If we allow him to continue like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our holy place and our nation.”
49 Tetapi seorang di antara mereka, yaitu Kayafas, Imam Besar pada tahun itu, berkata kepada mereka: "Kamu tidak tahu apa-apa,
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You do not know anything,
50 dan kamu tidak insaf, bahwa lebih berguna bagimu, jika satu orang mati untuk bangsa kita dari pada seluruh bangsa kita ini binasa."
nor do you consider that it is better for us to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation perish.”
51 Hal itu dikatakannya bukan dari dirinya sendiri, tetapi sebagai Imam Besar pada tahun itu ia bernubuat, bahwa Yesus akan mati untuk bangsa itu,
(He said this not of his own accord, but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52 dan bukan untuk bangsa itu saja, tetapi juga untuk mengumpulkan dan mempersatukan anak-anak Allah yang tercerai-berai.
and not only for the nation, but also to gather together and unite the children of God scattered abroad.)
53 Mulai dari hari itu mereka sepakat untuk membunuh Dia.
So from that day they plotted together to kill him.
54 Karena itu Yesus tidak tampil lagi di muka umum di antara orang-orang Yahudi, Ia berangkat dari situ ke daerah dekat padang gurun, ke sebuah kota yang bernama Efraim, dan di situ Ia tinggal bersama-sama murid-murid-Nya.
Therefore Jesus no longer went around openly among the Jews. Instead, he departed from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he spent time with his disciples.
55 Pada waktu itu hari raya Paskah orang Yahudi sudah dekat dan banyak orang dari negeri itu berangkat ke Yerusalem untuk menyucikan diri sebelum Paskah itu.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many people went up to Jerusalem from the countryside to purify themselves before the Passover.
56 Mereka mencari Yesus dan sambil berdiri di dalam Bait Allah, mereka berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Bagaimana pendapatmu? Akan datang jugakah Ia ke pesta?"
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, “What do you think? That he will not come to the feast at all?”
57 Sementara itu imam-imam kepala dan orang-orang Farisi telah memberikan perintah supaya setiap orang yang tahu di mana Dia berada memberitahukannya, agar mereka dapat menangkap Dia.
(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it, so that they could arrest him.)
