Lukas 18
1 Yesus mengatakan suatu perumpamaan kepada mereka untuk menegaskan, bahwa mereka harus selalu berdoa dengan tidak jemu-jemu.
And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;
2 Kata-Nya: "Dalam sebuah kota ada seorang hakim yang tidak takut akan Allah dan tidak menghormati seorangpun.
Saying, There was a judge in a certain town, who had no fear of God or respect for man:
3 Dan di kota itu ada seorang janda yang selalu datang kepada hakim itu dan berkata: Belalah hakku terhadap lawanku.
And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.
4 Beberapa waktu lamanya hakim itu menolak. Tetapi kemudian ia berkata dalam hatinya: Walaupun aku tidak takut akan Allah dan tidak menghormati seorangpun,
And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,
5 namun karena janda ini menyusahkan aku, baiklah aku membenarkan dia, supaya jangan terus saja ia datang dan akhirnya menyerang aku."
Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.
6 Kata Tuhan: "Camkanlah apa yang dikatakan hakim yang lalim itu!
And the Lord said, Give ear to the words of the evil judge.
7 Tidakkah Allah akan membenarkan orang-orang pilihan-Nya yang siang malam berseru kepada-Nya? Dan adakah Ia mengulur-ulur waktu sebelum menolong mereka?
And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?
8 Aku berkata kepadamu: Ia akan segera membenarkan mereka. Akan tetapi, jika Anak Manusia itu datang, adakah Ia mendapati iman di bumi?"
I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?
9 Dan kepada beberapa orang yang menganggap dirinya benar dan memandang rendah semua orang lain, Yesus mengatakan perumpamaan ini:
And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:
10 "Ada dua orang pergi ke Bait Allah untuk berdoa; yang seorang adalah Farisi dan yang lain pemungut cukai.
Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer.
11 Orang Farisi itu berdiri dan berdoa dalam hatinya begini: Ya Allah, aku mengucap syukur kepada-Mu, karena aku tidak sama seperti semua orang lain, bukan perampok, bukan orang lalim, bukan pezinah dan bukan juga seperti pemungut cukai ini;
The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
12 aku berpuasa dua kali seminggu, aku memberikan sepersepuluh dari segala penghasilanku.
Twice in the week I go without food; I give a tenth of all I have.
13 Tetapi pemungut cukai itu berdiri jauh-jauh, bahkan ia tidak berani menengadah ke langit, melainkan ia memukul diri dan berkata: Ya Allah, kasihanilah aku orang berdosa ini.
The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
14 Aku berkata kepadamu: Orang ini pulang ke rumahnya sebagai orang yang dibenarkan Allah dan orang lain itu tidak. Sebab barangsiapa meninggikan diri, ia akan direndahkan dan barangsiapa merendahkan diri, ia akan ditinggikan."
I say to you, This man went back to his house with God's approval, and not the other: for everyone who makes himself high will be made low and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
15 Maka datanglah orang-orang membawa anak-anaknya yang kecil kepada Yesus, supaya Ia menjamah mereka. Melihat itu murid-murid-Nya memarahi orang-orang itu.
And they took their children to him, so that he might put his hands on them: but when the disciples saw it, they said sharp words to them
16 Tetapi Yesus memanggil mereka dan berkata: "Biarkanlah anak-anak itu datang kepada-Ku, dan jangan kamu menghalang-halangi mereka, sebab orang-orang yang seperti itulah yang empunya Kerajaan Allah.
But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
17 Aku berkata kepadamu: Sesungguhnya barangsiapa tidak menyambut Kerajaan Allah seperti seorang anak kecil, ia tidak akan masuk ke dalamnya."
Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
18 Ada seorang pemimpin bertanya kepada Yesus, katanya: "Guru yang baik, apa yang harus aku perbuat untuk memperoleh hidup yang kekal?" (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler put a question to him, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jawab Yesus: "Mengapa kaukatakan Aku baik? Tak seorangpun yang baik selain dari pada Allah saja.
And Jesus said to him, Why do you say that I am good? No one is good, but only God.
20 Engkau tentu mengetahui segala perintah Allah: Jangan berzinah, jangan membunuh, jangan mencuri, jangan mengucapkan saksi dusta, hormatilah ayahmu dan ibumu."
You have knowledge of what the law says: Do not be untrue to your wife, Do not put anyone to death, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness, Give honour to your father and mother.
21 Kata orang itu: "Semuanya itu telah kuturuti sejak masa mudaku."
And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.
22 Mendengar itu Yesus berkata kepadanya: "Masih tinggal satu hal lagi yang harus kaulakukan: juallah segala yang kaumiliki dan bagi-bagikanlah itu kepada orang-orang miskin, maka engkau akan beroleh harta di sorga, kemudian datanglah ke mari dan ikutlah Aku."
And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.
23 Ketika orang itu mendengar perkataan itu, ia menjadi amat sedih, sebab ia sangat kaya.
But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.
24 Lalu Yesus memandang dia dan berkata: "Alangkah sukarnya orang yang beruang masuk ke dalam Kerajaan Allah.
And Jesus, looking at him, said, How hard it is for those who have wealth to get into the kingdom of God!
25 Sebab lebih mudah seekor unta masuk melalui lobang jarum dari pada seorang kaya masuk ke dalam Kerajaan Allah."
It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.
26 Dan mereka yang mendengar itu berkata: "Jika demikian, siapakah yang dapat diselamatkan?"
And those who were present said, Then who may have salvation?
27 Kata Yesus: "Apa yang tidak mungkin bagi manusia, mungkin bagi Allah."
But he said, Things which are not possible with man are possible with God.
28 Petrus berkata: "Kami ini telah meninggalkan segala kepunyaan kami dan mengikut Engkau."
And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.
29 Kata Yesus kepada mereka: "Aku berkata kepadamu, sesungguhnya setiap orang yang karena Kerajaan Allah meninggalkan rumahnya, isterinya atau saudaranya, orang tuanya atau anak-anaknya,
And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house or wife or brothers or father or mother or children, because of the kingdom of God,
31 Yesus memanggil kedua belas murid-Nya, lalu berkata kepada mereka: "Sekarang kita pergi ke Yerusalem dan segala sesuatu yang ditulis oleh para nabi mengenai Anak Manusia akan digenapi.
And he took with him the twelve and said to them, Now we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things which were said by the prophets will be done to the Son of man.
32 Sebab Ia akan diserahkan kepada bangsa-bangsa yang tidak mengenal Allah, diolok-olokkan, dihina dan diludahi,
For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:
33 dan mereka menyesah dan membunuh Dia, dan pada hari ketiga Ia akan bangkit."
And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.
34 Akan tetapi mereka sama sekali tidak mengerti semuanya itu; arti perkataan itu tersembunyi bagi mereka dan mereka tidak tahu apa yang dimaksudkan.
But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.
35 Waktu Yesus hampir tiba di Yerikho, ada seorang buta yang duduk di pinggir jalan dan mengemis.
And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.
36 Waktu orang itu mendengar orang banyak lewat, ia bertanya: "Apa itu?"
And hearing the sound of a great number of people going by, he said, What is this?
37 Kata orang kepadanya: "Yesus orang Nazaret lewat."
And they said to him, Jesus of Nazareth is going by.
38 Lalu ia berseru: "Yesus, Anak Daud, kasihanilah aku!"
And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.
39 Maka mereka, yang berjalan di depan, menegor dia supaya ia diam. Namun semakin keras ia berseru: "Anak Daud, kasihanilah aku!"
And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 Lalu Yesus berhenti dan menyuruh membawa orang itu kepada-Nya. Dan ketika ia telah berada di dekat-Nya, Yesus bertanya kepadanya:
And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,
41 "Apa yang kaukehendaki supaya Aku perbuat bagimu?" Jawab orang itu: "Tuhan, supaya aku dapat melihat!"
What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.
42 Lalu kata Yesus kepadanya: "Melihatlah engkau, imanmu telah menyelamatkan engkau!"
And Jesus said, See again: your faith has made you well.
43 Dan seketika itu juga melihatlah ia, lalu mengikuti Dia sambil memuliakan Allah. Seluruh rakyat melihat hal itu dan memuji-muji Allah.
And straight away he was able to see, and he went after him, giving glory to God; and all the people when they saw it gave praise to God.
