Roma 5
1 Itu sebabnya, kita sangat memuji Penguasa kita Kristus Yesus karena sekarang, melalui Dia, kita berdamai dengan Allah! Kita sudah memperoleh hubungan erat dengan Allah, di mana kita berdiri teguh di atas kebaikan hati-Nya. Semuanya itu kita terima karena percaya kepada Kristus. Jadi sekarang kita bersukacita, bahkan berbangga, karena kita mempunyai keyakinan untuk menikmati kemuliaan Allah bersama Kristus.
Because we trusted [in Christ], the record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins}. So we [now] have a peaceful relationship with God because of our trust in what our Lord Jesus Christ [has done for us].
Because of [what] Christ [has done], God has also enabled us to begin experiencing his continually acting toward us in ways that we do not deserve. Also, we rejoice because we are confidently expecting that God [will gladly show] us how great he is.
3 Kita juga bersukacita karena penderitaan yang kita alami. Mengapa? Karena kita tahu bahwa penderitaan itu membuat kita menjadi lebih tabah.
We rejoice even when we suffer [as a result of our trusting in Christ], because we know that when we are suffering, the result is that we learn to endure things [patiently].
4 Ketabahan itu membuat kita tahan uji. Tahan uji memberi kita pengharapan.
And [we know] that when we endure things [patiently], the result is that [God] approves [of us]. And when we [know that God] approves [of us], the result is that we confidently expect [that he will do great things for us].
5 Dan pengharapan tidak pernah mengecewakan, karena Allah sudah mencurahkan kasih-Nya untuk mengisi hati kita melalui Roh Kudus yang diberikan kepada kita.
And we are very confident [PRS] that we will receive the things that we wait expectantly [for], because God loves us very much. His Holy Spirit, who has been {whom [he] has} given to us, [causes] us to understand how much God loves us.
6 Sebelumnya, manusia sama sekali tidak mampu melakukan apa-apa untuk menjadi benar di hadapan Allah. Tetapi justru ketika kita dalam keadaan tidak berdaya seperti itulah Kristus mati bagi kita, walaupun sebelumnya kita selalu memusuhi Allah.
When we were unable [to save ourselves], it was Christ who, at the time [that God chose], died on behalf of [us] ungodly [people].
7 Sangat sulit bagi seseorang untuk mau mengurbankan diri demi menyelamatkan orang lain, sekalipun dia tahu orang itu tidak bersalah. Namun, bisa saja seseorang rela mengurbankan diri sampai mati demi menyelamatkan sahabatnya.
Rarely would anyone die on behalf of another person, [even if] that person were righteous, although someone might be courageous enough to die on behalf of a truly good person person.
8 Tetapi Kristus mati bagi kita ketika kita masih hidup sebagai orang berdosa yang memusuhi Allah. Demikianlah Allah menunjukkan bahwa Dia sangat mengasihi kita.
Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
9 Oleh sebab itu, sudah menjadi sangat jelas: Karena kita dibenarkan di hadapan Allah melalui darah Kristus, tentu Allah tidak lagi memurkai kita. Dia akan membebaskan kita dari hukuman yang kelak dijatuhkan-Nya kepada semua orang berdosa.
The record of our sins has been erased {[God] has erased the record of our sins} because of [what Christ accomplished when] his blood [MTY] [flowed when he died]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved by Christ {that Christ will save us} from God’s punishing us [eternally] [MTY].
10 Kalau Anak Allah mati demi kita waktu kita masih memusuhi Allah, terlebih lagi sekarang, setelah Yesus dibangkitkan dari kematian dan mendamaikan kita dengan Allah, Yesus akan terus menjaga kita dan keselamatan kita benar-benar terjamin!
Even when we were acting hostilely towards God, he enabled us to have a peaceful relationship with him as a result of his Son dying [for us]. So it is even more certain that we will be saved {Christ will be able to save us} [from God’s punishing us] [MTY] because Christ is alive [again] and because [God] has enabled us to have a peaceful relationship [with himself].
11 Bukan hanya keselamatan itu yang membuat kita sangat bersukacita sekarang. Kita juga bersukacita dan bangga atas pendamaian yang sudah dilakukan oleh Penguasa kita Kristus Yesus, sehingga hubungan kita dengan Allah menjadi baik.
And that’s not all! Now we also rejoice about [the things that] God [has done for us] because of our Lord Jesus Christ [dying for us] and enabling us to have a peaceful relationship with God.
12 Inilah yang sudah terjadi: Waktu manusia pertama, Adam, jatuh ke dalam dosa, kuasa dosa itu pun masuk kepada semua manusia seperti penyakit keturunan yang menular. Bersama kuasa dosa itu, datang juga kematian. Oleh sebab itulah semua orang pasti mati, karena semua orang berdosa.
[What you can learn from what I have written so far is as follows]: All people are sinful [PRS], and that is the result of [Adam, the first] man whom [God created, sinning long ago]. Adam died [PRS] because he sinned. So, all people [who have lived since then] die, because [it is as though] all people sinned [when Adam sinned].
13 Kuasa dosa itu memang sudah ada di dunia ini sebelum manusia mendengar hukum Taurat. Tetapi Allah tidak memperhitungkan dosa sebagai pelanggaran kalau manusia belum mendengar ajaran yang ada dalam hukum Taurat.
[People in] [MTY] the world sinned before [God gave his] laws [to Moses]. But people are not considered [by God] {[God] does not consider people} to be guilty for their sins if there is no law [stating that what they did was sinful].
14 Namun, meskipun zaman dahulu dosa tidak diperhitungkan, tetapi akibat dosa Adam, semua manusia sejak zaman Adam sampai zaman Musa mengalami kematian. Walaupun pada zaman itu manusia tidak melanggar perintah apa pun yang langsung diberikan dari Allah seperti yang Adam lakukan, tetapi manusia tetap tidak bisa lepas dari kematian. Adam menggambarkan Kristus yang Allah janjikan untuk datang kemudian.
But [we know] that from [the time when] Adam [lived] until [the time when] Moses [lived], all people sinned, and they died [as a consequence] [PRS, MET]. Even people who sinned differently from the way Adam [sinned, died]. [Adam’s sin] affected [all people], just like what [Christ did], the one who came later, can affect all people.
15 Akan tetapi, perbuatan Adam dan tindakan Kristus sungguh sangat jauh berbeda! Akibat pelanggaran Adam, semua manusia mewarisi kematian. Sebaliknya, akibat pengurbanan Kristus Yesus, semua orang bisa dibenarkan di hadapan Allah dan menerima hidup kekal! Hal itu membuktikan kebaikan hati Allah yang amat luar biasa!
But [the results of God’s erasing the record of our sins as] a gift to us are not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. The result of one man, [Adam], sinning was that many/all people have died. But [it is certain], [however], that many people have abundantly experienced God’s acting kindly toward them in a way they did not deserve. [It is also certain] that they have experienced God’s erasing the record of their sins as the result of one man, Jesus Christ, acting kindly toward them/towards them in a way they did not deserve.
16 Akibat dosa Adam, semua manusia pantas dihukum, karena sesudah Adam berdosa, manusia pun semakin banyak berbuat dosa. Tetapi apa yang Allah perbuat sekarang sangat jauh berbeda dan mengherankan. Dia memberikan hadiah pengampunan melalui Kristus supaya kita, yang banyak sekali berbuat dosa, bisa dibenarkan di hadapan-Nya!
And [there is another way in which God’s] freely [erasing the record of our sins] is not like [the results of Adam’s] sinning. One person, [Adam, sinned]. As a result, God declared that all people deserve to be punished. Many people sinned. But what God did was that he erased the record of their sins without their earning it.
17 Akibat pelanggaran satu orang, kematian menguasai semua manusia, ibarat seorang raja yang kejam menguasai rakyatnya. Tetapi jauh lebih luar biasa lagi hasil dari perbuatan satu Orang yang lain, yaitu Kristus Yesus! Karena kebaikan hati Allah yang luar biasa, kita dibebaskan dari kuasa dosa dan kematian, dan kita akan ikut memerintah bersama Kristus.
All people die [MET, PRS] because of what one man, [Adam], did. But now many of us experience that God has abundantly acted towards us in ways we did not deserve, and we experience that he has erased the record of our sins without our earning it. It is also very certain that we will rule [with Christ] (OR, share [the glory] of Christ’s being king), [in heaven. This will happen] because of [what] one man, Jesus Christ, [did for us].
18 Jadi, akibat pelanggaran Adam saja, semua orang layak dibinasakan. Tetapi akibat perbuatan Kristus saja, terbukalah jalan supaya setiap orang bisa dibenarkan dan memperoleh hidup kekal!
So, [because one man, Adam], disobeyed [God’s law], that resulted in all people deserving to be punished {that God punish them}. Similarly, because one man, [Jesus], acted righteously [by obeying God when he died], the result was that God is [able to erase the record of] all people’s sins and [enable them to] live eternally.
19 Artinya, karena perbuatan satu orang yang tidak taat kepada Allah, yaitu Adam, maka semua orang menjadi berdosa. Tetapi karena satu Orang yang lain, yaitu Yesus, yang taat kepada Allah, semua orang diberi kesempatan untuk dibenarkan di hadapan Allah.
It was because one person, [Adam], disobeyed [God] that many/all people became sinners. Similarly, it is because one person, [Jesus], obeyed [God when he died] that the record of many people’s sins will be erased {that [he] will erase the record of many people’s sins}.
20 Allah memberikan hukum Taurat kepada manusia supaya pelanggaran dan dosa menjadi semakin nyata. Tetapi ketika manusia semakin berdosa, kebaikan hati Allah semakin luar biasa supaya semua orang bisa diampuni.
[God gave] [PRS] his laws [to Moses] [PRS] in order that [people might realize] how greatly they had sinned; but as people sinned more, God continued to act even more kindly toward them, in a way that they did not deserve.
21 Sejak Adam, manusia hidup di bawah kuasa dosa dan hal itu membawa kita pada kematian. Namun, sekarang kebaikan hati Allah berkuasa atas kita. Dengan demikian, kita dibenarkan di hadapan-Nya dan diberi hidup yang kekal melalui pengurbanan Kristus Yesus, Penguasa kita. (aiōnios g166)
He did that in order that just like people everywhere inevitably sin, [which results in their] dying [MET, PRS], people everywhere might inevitably experience God’s acting kindly towards them in a way they do not deserve [MET, PRS] by [erasing the record of their sins]. [The result is that people can] live eternally because of what Jesus Christ our Lord [did for them]. (aiōnios g166)
