Luke 18
1 [Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
Setelah itu Yesus menceritakan sebuah perumpamaan untuk mengajar pengikut-pengikut-Nya supaya mereka selalu berdoa dan jangan berputus asa.
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
Yesus berkata, "Di sebuah kota ada seorang hakim yang tidak takut kepada Allah, dan tidak peduli kepada siapapun juga.
3 There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
Di kota itu ada pula seorang janda yang berkali-kali menghadap hakim itu meminta perkaranya dibela. 'Tolonglah saya menghadapi lawan saya,' kata janda itu.
4 For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
Beberapa waktu lamanya hakim itu tidak mau menolong janda itu. Tetapi akhirnya hakim itu berpikir, 'Meskipun saya tidak takut kepada Allah dan tidak peduli kepada siapa pun,
5 but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
tetapi karena janda ini terus saja mengganggu saya, lebih baik saya membela perkaranya. Kalau tidak, ia akan terus-menerus datang dan menyusahkan saya.'"
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Lalu Tuhan berkata, "Perhatikanlah apa yang dikatakan oleh hakim yang tidak adil itu!
7 [Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
Nah, apakah Allah tidak akan membela perkara umat-Nya sendiri yang berseru kepada-Nya siang dan malam? Apakah Ia akan mengulur-ulur waktu untuk menolong mereka?
8 But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
Percayalah: Ia akan segera membela perkara mereka! Tetapi apabila Anak Manusia datang, apakah masih ditemukan orang yang percaya kepada-Nya di bumi ini?"
9 [Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
Yesus menceritakan juga perumpamaan ini yang ditujukan-Nya kepada orang yang memandang rendah orang lain, tetapi yakin bahwa dirinya sendiri baik.
10 [He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
Kata Yesus, "Adalah dua orang yang pergi ke Rumah Tuhan untuk berdoa. Yang satu orang Farisi, yang lainnya seorang penagih pajak.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
Orang Farisi itu berdiri menyendiri dan berdoa, 'Ya Allah, saya mengucap terima kasih kepada-Mu, sebab saya tidak seperti orang lain, yang serakah, curang, atau berzinah. Saya bersyukur karena saya tidak seperti penagih pajak itu.
12 [Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
Saya berpuasa dua kali seminggu, dan saya mempersembahkan kepada-Mu sepersepuluh dari semua pendapatan saya.'
13 But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
Tetapi penagih pajak itu berdiri jauh-jauh dan malahan tidak berani menengadah ke langit. Sambil mengusap dada ia berkata, 'Ya Allah, kasihanilah saya, orang berdosa ini!'"
14 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
"Percayalah," kata Yesus, "pada waktu pulang ke rumah, penagih pajak itulah yang diterima Allah dan bukan orang Farisi itu. Sebab setiap orang yang meninggikan dirinya akan direndahkan; dan setiap orang yang merendahkan dirinya akan ditinggikan."
15 [One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
Ada orang-orang membawa anak-anak kecil kepada Yesus supaya Ia menjamah dan memberkati mereka. Ketika pengikut-pengikut Yesus melihat itu, mereka memarahi orang-orang itu.
16 But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
Tetapi Yesus memanggil anak-anak itu lalu berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya, "Biarkanlah anak-anak datang kepada-Ku! Jangan melarang mereka, sebab orang semacam inilah yang menjadi anggota umat Allah.
17 Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
Ingatlah! Orang yang tidak menghadap Allah seperti seorang anak, tidak akan menjadi anggota umat Allah."
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Seorang pemimpin Yahudi bertanya kepada Yesus, "Pak Guru yang baik, saya harus berbuat apa supaya dapat menerima hidup sejati dan kekal?" (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
"Mengapa kaukatakan Aku baik?" tanya Yesus kepadanya. "Tidak ada yang baik, selain Allah sendiri.
20 [But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
Engkau sudah tahu perintah-perintah Allah: 'Jangan berzinah, jangan membunuh, jangan mencuri, jangan bersaksi dusta, dan hormatilah ayah dan ibumu.'"
21 The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
"Semua perintah itu sudah saya turuti sejak muda," sahut orang itu.
22 When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Mendengar itu, Yesus berkata, "Masih ada satu hal yang harus kaulakukan: Juallah semua milikmu, berikanlah uangnya kepada orang miskin, dan engkau akan mendapat harta di surga. Setelah itu datanglah mengikuti Aku."
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Tetapi ketika orang itu mendengar itu, ia sedih karena ia kaya sekali.
24 Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
Yesus tahu orang itu bersedih hati, sebab itu Ia berkata, "Sukar sekali untuk orang kaya menjadi anggota umat Allah!
25 [You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Lebih gampang seekor unta masuk lubang jarum, daripada seorang kaya masuk Dunia Baru Allah."
26 [The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
Orang-orang yang mendengar Yesus mengatakan demikian bertanya, "Kalau begitu, siapa yang bisa selamat?"
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
Yesus menjawab, "Yang tidak mungkin bagi manusia, mungkin bagi Allah!"
28 Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
Lalu Petrus berkata, "Lihatlah! Kami sudah meninggalkan rumah tangga untuk mengikuti Bapak."
29 He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
"Percayalah!" kata Yesus. "Orang yang sudah meninggalkan rumahnya, atau istrinya, atau saudaranya atau ayah ibunya atau anak-anaknya karena melayani Allah,
31 [Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
Yesus mengumpulkan kedua belas pengikut-Nya tersendiri, lalu berkata, "Dengarkan! Kita sekarang menuju Yerusalem. Di sana, semua yang ditulis nabi-nabi mengenai Anak Manusia, akan terjadi.
32 I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
Ia akan diserahkan kepada orang-orang bukan Yahudi, yang akan mengolok-olok, menghina, dan meludahi Dia.
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
Mereka akan menyiksa dan membunuh Dia, tetapi pada hari ketiga, Ia akan bangkit."
34 But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
Semuanya itu tidak dipahami sedikit pun oleh pengikut-pengikut Yesus itu. Arti dari kata-kata-Nya itu dirahasiakan dari mereka. Mereka tidak tahu Ia berbicara tentang apa.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Waktu Yesus hampir sampai di Yerikho, seorang buta sedang duduk minta-minta di pinggir jalan.
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
Ketika ia mendengar orang banyak itu lewat, ia bertanya, "Ada apa?"
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
"Yesus, orang Nazaret itu, lewat," kata mereka kepadanya.
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Maka orang buta itu berteriak, "Yesus, anak Daud! Kasihanilah saya!"
39 Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Orang-orang yang di depan, memarahinya dan menyuruh dia diam. Tetapi ia berteriak lebih nyaring lagi, "Anak Daud! Kasihanilah saya!"
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
Yesus berhenti dan menyuruh orang membawa orang buta itu kepada-Nya. Ketika ia sampai, Yesus bertanya,
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
"Apa yang kau ingin Aku perbuat untukmu?" "Tuan," jawab orang buta itu, "saya ingin melihat."
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
Lalu Yesus berkata, "Kalau begitu, lihatlah! Karena engkau percaya kepada-Ku, engkau sembuh."
43 Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
Saat itu juga ia dapat melihat, lalu ia mengikuti Yesus sambil mengucap terima kasih kepada Allah. Ketika orang banyak itu melihat hal itu, mereka semua memuji-muji Allah.
