< Matius 4 >

1 Sesudah itu Yesus dipimpin oleh Roh Kudus ke padang belantara untuk dicobai iblis.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
2 Di sana Dia berpuasa dengan tidak makan apa pun sama sekali selama empat puluh hari empat puluh malam, hingga akhirnya Dia sangat lapar.
After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
3 Lalu iblis, si penggoda itu, mendekati-Nya dan berkata, “Bukankah kamu Anak Allah? Ubahlah batu-batu ini menjadi roti!”
[Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 Tetapi Yesus menjawab, “Dalam Kitab Suci tertulis, ‘Kehidupan manusia tidak bergantung pada roti saja, melainkan pada setiap perkataan yang diucapkan Allah.’”
But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
5 Kemudian dalam waktu singkat iblis membawa-Nya ke kota suci Yerusalem dan menempatkan-Nya di puncak rumah Allah.
Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
6 Kata iblis kepada-Nya, “Kalau kamu Anak Allah, lompatlah ke bawah! Karena dalam Kitab Suci tertulis, ‘Allah akan menyuruh para malaikat untuk menjagamu, dan tangan mereka akan memegangmu, sehingga kakimu tidak sampai kena batu.’”
and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
7 Jawab Yesus, “Ada juga tertulis, ‘Janganlah kamu mencobai TUHAN Allahmu.’”
But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
8 Kemudian dengan cara ajaib iblis membawa Yesus ke gunung yang sangat tinggi, lalu menunjukkan kepada-Nya semua kerajaan di dunia dan segala kemewahan dari setiap kerajaan itu.
Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
9 Lalu dia berkata kepada Yesus, “Aku akan memberikan semua itu kepadamu kalau kamu sujud menyembah aku.”
And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
10 Kata Yesus kepadanya, “Pergi dari hadapan-Ku, Satanas! Karena dalam Kitab Suci tertulis, ‘Sembahlah TUHAN Allahmu, dan Dia sajalah yang harus kamu layani.’”
But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
11 Lalu iblis meninggalkan Yesus, dan malaikat-malaikat pun datang melayani Dia.
Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
12 Waktu Yesus mendengar bahwa Yohanes sudah dipenjara, Dia meninggalkan provinsi Yudea dan kembali ke provinsi Galilea.
[While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
13 Tetapi Dia tidak lagi tinggal di Nazaret, melainkan di kota Kapernaum yang terletak di tepi danau Galilea, di daerah Zebulon dan Naftali.
Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
14 Yesus melakukan itu supaya terjadilah sesuai yang sudah dinubuatkan oleh nabi Yesaya,
[One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
15 “Dengarlah, kalian yang tinggal di daerah Zebulon dan Naftali, di sepanjang jalan menuju laut sampai ke seberang sungai Yordan, daerah Galilea yang ditempati banyak orang bukan Yahudi.
“Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
16 Kalian yang hidup dalam kegelapan akan melihat terang besar. Bagaikan matahari terbit, demikianlah terang akan terbit atas kalian yang hidup di daerah gelap dalam cengkeraman kuasa kematian.”
[Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
17 Mulai hari itu, Yesus memberitakan kepada orang banyak, “Bertobatlah dari dosa-dosamu, karena tidak lama lagi Allah akan datang mendirikan kerajaan-Nya di dunia ini.”
From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
18 Ketika Yesus sedang berjalan di tepi danau Galilea, Dia melihat dua orang nelayan, yaitu Petrus yang juga disebut Simon dan Andreas adiknya. Mereka sedang menjala ikan di danau.
[One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
19 Kata-Nya kepada mereka, “Mari ikut Aku. Pekerjaan kalian bukan lagi penjala ikan, tetapi Aku akan mengajar kalian untuk mengumpulkan orang menjadi pengikut-Ku.”
He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
20 Saat itu juga Petrus dan Andreas langsung meninggalkan jala mereka dan mengikut Yesus.
They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
21 Setelah berjalan tidak jauh dari situ, Yesus melihat dua orang bersaudara yang lain, yaitu Yakobus dan Yohanes. Mereka sedang memperbaiki jala di dalam sebuah perahu bersama Zebedeus, ayah mereka. Lalu Yesus memanggil Yakobus dan Yohanes untuk mengikut Dia.
As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
22 Saat itu juga keduanya langsung meninggalkan perahu dan ayah mereka, lalu mengikut Yesus.
They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
23 Kemudian Yesus mengunjungi seluruh provinsi Galilea. Di setiap kota atau kampung, Dia mengajar di rumah pertemuan orang Yahudi, memberitakan Kabar Baik tentang kerajaan Allah, dan menyembuhkan banyak orang dari segala jenis penyakit.
Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
24 Berita tentang Yesus tersebar luas dari Galilea sampai ke seluruh provinsi Siria. Maka banyak orang berdatangan kepada-Nya. Mereka membawa orang-orang yang menderita berbagai macam penyakit, termasuk yang dikuasai roh jahat, yang sakit ayan, dan yang lumpuh total. Yesus menyembuhkan mereka semua.
When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
25 Oleh karena itu banyak orang mengikuti Dia. Ada yang berasal dari provinsi Galilea, Yudea, Sepuluh Kota, juga kota Yerusalem, bahkan dari seberang sungai Yordan.
Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
