Lukas 1
1 Teofilus yang mulia, Banyak orang telah berusaha menyusun suatu berita tentang peristiwa-peristiwa yang telah terjadi di antara kita,
As a number of attempts have been made to put together in order an account of those events which took place among us,
2 seperti yang disampaikan kepada kita oleh mereka, yang dari semula adalah saksi mata dan pelayan Firman.
As they were handed down to us by those who saw them from the first and were preachers of the word,
3 Karena itu, setelah aku menyelidiki segala peristiwa itu dengan seksama dari asal mulanya, aku mengambil keputusan untuk membukukannya dengan teratur bagimu,
It seemed good to me, having made observation, with great care, of the direction of events in their order, to put the facts in writing for you, most noble Theophilus;
4 supaya engkau dapat mengetahui, bahwa segala sesuatu yang diajarkan kepadamu sungguh benar.
So that you might have certain knowledge of those things about which you were given teaching.
5 Pada zaman Herodes, raja Yudea, adalah seorang imam yang bernama Zakharia dari rombongan Abia. Isterinya juga berasal dari keturunan Harun, namanya Elisabet.
In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the order of Abijah; and he had a wife of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 Keduanya adalah benar di hadapan Allah dan hidup menurut segala perintah dan ketetapan Tuhan dengan tidak bercacat.
They were upright in the eyes of God, keeping all the rules and orders of God, and doing no wrong.
7 Tetapi mereka tidak mempunyai anak, sebab Elisabet mandul dan keduanya telah lanjut umurnya.
And they were without children, because Elisabeth had never given birth, and they were at that time very old.
8 Pada suatu kali, waktu tiba giliran rombongannya, Zakharia melakukan tugas keimaman di hadapan Tuhan.
Now it came about that in his turn he was acting as priest before God,
9 Sebab ketika diundi, sebagaimana lazimnya, untuk menentukan imam yang bertugas, dialah yang ditunjuk untuk masuk ke dalam Bait Suci dan membakar ukupan di situ.
And as was the way of the priests, he had to go into the Temple to see to the burning of perfumes.
10 Sementara itu seluruh umat berkumpul di luar dan sembahyang. Waktu itu adalah waktu pembakaran ukupan.
And all the people were offering prayers outside, at the time of the burning of perfumes.
11 Maka tampaklah kepada Zakharia seorang malaikat Tuhan berdiri di sebelah kanan mezbah pembakaran ukupan.
And he saw an angel of the Lord in his place on the right side of the altar.
12 Melihat hal itu ia terkejut dan menjadi takut.
And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear came on him.
13 Tetapi malaikat itu berkata kepadanya: "Jangan takut, hai Zakharia, sebab doamu telah dikabulkan dan Elisabet, isterimu, akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki bagimu dan haruslah engkau menamai dia Yohanes.
But the angel said, Have no fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your wife Elisabeth will have a son, and his name will be John.
14 Engkau akan bersukacita dan bergembira, bahkan banyak orang akan bersukacita atas kelahirannya itu.
And you will be glad and have great delight; and numbers of people will have joy at his birth.
15 Sebab ia akan besar di hadapan Tuhan dan ia tidak akan minum anggur atau minuman keras dan ia akan penuh dengan Roh Kudus mulai dari rahim ibunya;
For he will be great in the eyes of the Lord; he will not take wine or strong drink; and he will be full of the Spirit of God from his birth.
16 ia akan membuat banyak orang Israel berbalik kepada Tuhan, Allah mereka,
And through him great numbers of the children of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.
17 dan ia akan berjalan mendahului Tuhan dalam roh dan kuasa Elia untuk membuat hati bapa-bapa berbalik kepada anak-anaknya dan hati orang-orang durhaka kepada pikiran orang-orang benar dan dengan demikian menyiapkan bagi Tuhan suatu umat yang layak bagi-Nya."
And he will go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, turning the hearts of fathers to their children, and wrongdoers to the way of righteousness; to make ready a people whose hearts have been turned to the Lord.
18 Lalu kata Zakharia kepada malaikat itu: "Bagaimanakah aku tahu, bahwa hal ini akan terjadi? Sebab aku sudah tua dan isteriku sudah lanjut umurnya."
And Zacharias said to the angel, How may I be certain of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far on in years.
19 Jawab malaikat itu kepadanya: "Akulah Gabriel yang melayani Allah dan aku telah diutus untuk berbicara dengan engkau dan untuk menyampaikan kabar baik ini kepadamu.
And the angel, answering, said, I am Gabriel, whose place is before God; I have been sent to say these words to you and to give you this good news.
20 Sesungguhnya engkau akan menjadi bisu dan tidak dapat berkata-kata sampai kepada hari, di mana semuanya ini terjadi, karena engkau tidak percaya akan perkataanku yang akan nyata kebenarannya pada waktunya."
Now, see, you will be without voice or language till the day when these things come about, because you had not faith in my words, which will have effect at the right time.
21 Sementara itu orang banyak menanti-nantikan Zakharia. Mereka menjadi heran, bahwa ia begitu lama berada dalam Bait Suci.
And the people were waiting for Zacharias and were surprised because he was in the Temple for such a long time.
22 Ketika ia keluar, ia tidak dapat berkata-kata kepada mereka dan mengertilah mereka, bahwa ia telah melihat suatu penglihatan di dalam Bait Suci. Lalu ia memberi isyarat kepada mereka, sebab ia tetap bisu.
And when he came out he was not able to say anything, and they saw that he had seen a vision in the Temple; and he was making signs to them without words.
23 Ketika selesai jangka waktu tugas jabatannya, ia pulang ke rumah.
And when the days of his work in the Temple were ended, he went back to his house.
24 Beberapa lama kemudian Elisabet, isterinya, mengandung dan selama lima bulan ia tidak menampakkan diri, katanya:
After that time, Elisabeth, being certain that she was to become a mother, kept herself from men's eyes for five months, saying,
25 "Inilah suatu perbuatan Tuhan bagiku, dan sekarang Ia berkenan menghapuskan aibku di depan orang."
The Lord has done this to me, for his eyes were on me, to take away my shame in the eyes of men.
26 Dalam bulan yang keenam Allah menyuruh malaikat Gabriel pergi ke sebuah kota di Galilea bernama Nazaret,
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 kepada seorang perawan yang bertunangan dengan seorang bernama Yusuf dari keluarga Daud; nama perawan itu Maria.
To a virgin who was to be married to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.
28 Ketika malaikat itu masuk ke rumah Maria, ia berkata: "Salam, hai engkau yang dikaruniai, Tuhan menyertai engkau."
And the angel came in to her and said, Peace be with you, to whom special grace has been given; the Lord is with you.
29 Maria terkejut mendengar perkataan itu, lalu bertanya di dalam hatinya, apakah arti salam itu.
But she was greatly troubled at his words, and said to herself, What may be the purpose of these words?
30 Kata malaikat itu kepadanya: "Jangan takut, hai Maria, sebab engkau beroleh kasih karunia di hadapan Allah.
And the angel said to her, Have no fear, Mary, for you have God's approval.
31 Sesungguhnya engkau akan mengandung dan akan melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki dan hendaklah engkau menamai Dia Yesus.
And see, you will give birth to a son, and his name will be Jesus.
32 Ia akan menjadi besar dan akan disebut Anak Allah Yang Mahatinggi. Dan Tuhan Allah akan mengaruniakan kepada-Nya takhta Daud, bapa leluhur-Nya,
He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:
33 dan Ia akan menjadi raja atas kaum keturunan Yakub sampai selama-lamanya dan Kerajaan-Nya tidak akan berkesudahan." (aiōn g165)
He will have rule over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end. (aiōn g165)
34 Kata Maria kepada malaikat itu: "Bagaimana hal itu mungkin terjadi, karena aku belum bersuami?"
And Mary said to the angel, How may this be, because I have had no knowledge of a man?
35 Jawab malaikat itu kepadanya: "Roh Kudus akan turun atasmu dan kuasa Allah Yang Mahatinggi akan menaungi engkau; sebab itu anak yang akan kaulahirkan itu akan disebut kudus, Anak Allah.
And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.
36 Dan sesungguhnya, Elisabet, sanakmu itu, iapun sedang mengandung seorang anak laki-laki pada hari tuanya dan inilah bulan yang keenam bagi dia, yang disebut mandul itu.
Even now Elisabeth, who is of your family, is to be a mother, though she is old: and this is the sixth month with her who was without children.
37 Sebab bagi Allah tidak ada yang mustahil."
For there is nothing which God is not able to do.
38 Kata Maria: "Sesungguhnya aku ini adalah hamba Tuhan; jadilah padaku menurut perkataanmu itu." Lalu malaikat itu meninggalkan dia.
And Mary said: I am the servant of the Lord; may it be to me as you say. And the angel went away.
39 Beberapa waktu kemudian berangkatlah Maria dan langsung berjalan ke pegunungan menuju sebuah kota di Yehuda.
Then Mary got up and went quickly into the high lands, to a town of Judah;
40 Di situ ia masuk ke rumah Zakharia dan memberi salam kepada Elisabet.
And went into the house of Zacharias and took Elisabeth in her arms.
41 Dan ketika Elisabet mendengar salam Maria, melonjaklah anak yang di dalam rahimnya dan Elisabetpun penuh dengan Roh Kudus,
And when the voice of Mary came to the ears of Elisabeth, the baby made a sudden move inside her; then Elisabeth was full of the Holy Spirit,
42 lalu berseru dengan suara nyaring: "Diberkatilah engkau di antara semua perempuan dan diberkatilah buah rahimmu.
And she said with a loud voice: May blessing be on you among women, and a blessing on the child of your body.
43 Siapakah aku ini sampai ibu Tuhanku datang mengunjungi aku?
How is it that the mother of my Lord comes to me?
44 Sebab sesungguhnya, ketika salammu sampai kepada telingaku, anak yang di dalam rahimku melonjak kegirangan.
For, truly, when the sound of your voice came to my ears, the baby in my body made a sudden move for joy.
45 Dan berbahagialah ia, yang telah percaya, sebab apa yang dikatakan kepadanya dari Tuhan, akan terlaksana."
Happy will she be who had faith that the things which the Lord has said to her will be done.
46 Lalu kata Maria: "Jiwaku memuliakan Tuhan,
And Mary said: My soul gives glory to God;
47 dan hatiku bergembira karena Allah, Juruselamatku,
My spirit is glad in God my Saviour.
48 sebab Ia telah memperhatikan kerendahan hamba-Nya. Sesungguhnya, mulai dari sekarang segala keturunan akan menyebut aku berbahagia,
For he has had pity on his servant, though she is poor and lowly placed: and from this hour will all generations give witness to the blessing which has come to me.
49 karena Yang Mahakuasa telah melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan besar kepadaku dan nama-Nya adalah kudus.
For he who is strong has done great things for me; and holy is his name.
50 Dan rahmat-Nya turun-temurun atas orang yang takut akan Dia.
His mercy is for all generations in whom is the fear of him.
51 Ia memperlihatkan kuasa-Nya dengan perbuatan tangan-Nya dan mencerai-beraikan orang-orang yang congkak hatinya;
With his arm he has done acts of power; he has put to flight those who have pride in their hearts.
52 Ia menurunkan orang-orang yang berkuasa dari takhtanya dan meninggikan orang-orang yang rendah;
He has put down kings from their seats, lifting up on high the men of low degree.
53 Ia melimpahkan segala yang baik kepada orang yang lapar, dan menyuruh orang yang kaya pergi dengan tangan hampa;
Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;
54 Ia menolong Israel, hamba-Nya, karena Ia mengingat rahmat-Nya,
His help he has given to Israel, his servant, so that he might keep in mind his mercy to Abraham and his seed for ever,
55 seperti yang dijanjikan-Nya kepada nenek moyang kita, kepada Abraham dan keturunannya untuk selama-lamanya." (aiōn g165)
As he gave his word to our fathers. (aiōn g165)
56 Dan Maria tinggal kira-kira tiga bulan lamanya bersama dengan Elisabet, lalu pulang kembali ke rumahnya.
And Mary was with her for about three months and then went back to her house.
57 Kemudian genaplah bulannya bagi Elisabet untuk bersalin dan iapun melahirkan seorang anak laki-laki.
Now it was time for Elisabeth to give birth, and she had a son.
58 Ketika tetangga-tetangganya serta sanak saudaranya mendengar, bahwa Tuhan telah menunjukkan rahmat-Nya yang begitu besar kepadanya, bersukacitalah mereka bersama-sama dengan dia.
And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.
59 Maka datanglah mereka pada hari yang kedelapan untuk menyunatkan anak itu dan mereka hendak menamai dia Zakharia menurut nama bapanya,
And on the eighth day they came to see to the circumcision of the child, and they would have given him the name of Zacharias, his father's name;
60 tetapi ibunya berkata: "Jangan, ia harus dinamai Yohanes."
But his mother made answer and said, No, his name is John.
61 Kata mereka kepadanya: "Tidak ada di antara sanak saudaramu yang bernama demikian."
And they said, Not one of your relations has that name.
62 Lalu mereka memberi isyarat kepada bapanya untuk bertanya nama apa yang hendak diberikannya kepada anaknya itu.
And they made signs to his father, to say what name was to be given to him.
63 Ia meminta batu tulis, lalu menuliskan kata-kata ini: "Namanya adalah Yohanes." Dan merekapun heran semuanya.
And he sent for writing materials and put down: His name is John; and they were all surprised.
64 Dan seketika itu juga terbukalah mulutnya dan terlepaslah lidahnya, lalu ia berkata-kata dan memuji Allah.
And straight away his mouth was open and his tongue was free and he gave praise to God.
65 Maka ketakutanlah semua orang yang tinggal di sekitarnya, dan segala peristiwa itu menjadi buah tutur di seluruh pegunungan Yudea.
And fear came on all those who were living round about them: and there was much talk about all these things in all the hill-country of Judaea.
66 Dan semua orang, yang mendengarnya, merenungkannya dan berkata: "Menjadi apakah anak ini nanti?" Sebab tangan Tuhan menyertai dia.
And all who had word of them kept them in their minds and said, What will this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
67 Dan Zakharia, ayahnya, penuh dengan Roh Kudus, lalu bernubuat, katanya:
And his father, Zacharias, was full of the Holy Spirit, and with the voice of a prophet said these words:
68 "Terpujilah Tuhan, Allah Israel, sebab Ia melawat umat-Nya dan membawa kelepasan baginya,
Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to his people and made them free,
69 Ia menumbuhkan sebuah tanduk keselamatan bagi kita di dalam keturunan Daud, hamba-Nya itu,
Lifting up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,
70 --seperti yang telah difirmankan-Nya sejak purbakala oleh mulut nabi-nabi-Nya yang kudus-- (aiōn g165)
(As he said, by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the earliest times, ) (aiōn g165)
71 untuk melepaskan kita dari musuh-musuh kita dan dari tangan semua orang yang membenci kita,
Salvation from those who are against us, and from the hands of those who have hate for us;
72 untuk menunjukkan rahmat-Nya kepada nenek moyang kita dan mengingat akan perjanjian-Nya yang kudus,
To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,
73 yaitu sumpah yang diucapkan-Nya kepada Abraham, bapa leluhur kita, bahwa Ia mengaruniai kita,
The oath which he made to Abraham, our father,
74 supaya kita, terlepas dari tangan musuh, dapat beribadah kepada-Nya tanpa takut,
That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us, might give him worship,
75 dalam kekudusan dan kebenaran di hadapan-Nya seumur hidup kita.
In righteousness and holy living before him all our days.
76 Dan engkau, hai anakku, akan disebut nabi Allah Yang Mahatinggi; karena engkau akan berjalan mendahului Tuhan untuk mempersiapkan jalan bagi-Nya,
And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways;
77 untuk memberikan kepada umat-Nya pengertian akan keselamatan yang berdasarkan pengampunan dosa-dosa mereka,
To give knowledge of salvation to his people, through the forgiveness of sins,
78 oleh rahmat dan belas kasihan dari Allah kita, dengan mana Ia akan melawat kita, Surya pagi dari tempat yang tinggi,
Because of the loving mercies of our God, by which the dawn from heaven has come to us,
79 untuk menyinari mereka yang diam dalam kegelapan dan dalam naungan maut untuk mengarahkan kaki kita kepada jalan damai sejahtera."
To give light to those in dark places, and in the shade of death, so that our feet may be guided into the way of peace.
80 Adapun anak itu bertambah besar dan makin kuat rohnya. Dan ia tinggal di padang gurun sampai kepada hari ia harus menampakkan diri kepada Israel.
And the child became tall, and strong in spirit; and he was living in the waste land till the day when he came before the eyes of Israel.
