Lukas 21
1 Di Rumah Tuhan, Yesus melihat orang-orang kaya memasukkan uang ke dalam kotak persembahan.
[Jesus] looked up [from where he was sitting] and saw rich people putting their gifts into the [offering] boxes [in the Temple courtyard].
2 Ia melihat juga seorang janda yang sangat miskin, memasukkan dua keping uang tembaga.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 Lalu Yesus berkata, "Dengarkan: janda ini memasukkan lebih banyak dari semua yang lain.
He said [to his disciples], “The truth is that these rich people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs! So [God considers that] [HYP] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the others.”
4 Sebab mereka semua memberi dari kelebihan hartanya. Tetapi janda ini, sekalipun sangat miskin, memberikan semua yang ada padanya yang diperlukannya sendiri untuk hidup."
5 Ada orang-orang yang berbicara mengenai bagaimana bagusnya Rumah Tuhan dihias dengan batu yang bagus-bagus dan dengan barang-barang yang dipersembahkan kepada Allah. Maka Yesus berkata kepada mereka,
Some [of Jesus’ disciples] talked about the Temple. [They commented about] the beautiful stones [used in building the Temple] and the other decorations that [people] had given, decorations [that were on the walls]. But he said,
6 "Nanti ada saatnya, semua yang kalian lihat ini akan dirobohkan; tidak ada satu batu pun di sini yang akan tinggal tersusun pada tempatnya!"
“[I want to tell you something about] these things that you are looking at. [They will be destroyed] {[Foreign invaders will] destroy [these buildings]} [completely]. Every stone [in these buildings] will be thrown down {They will throw down every stone in these buildings}. Not one stone will be left {They will not leave one stone} on top of another.”
7 Mereka bertanya kepada Yesus, "Bapak Guru, kapankah hal itu akan terjadi? Dan apakah tandanya bahwa sudah sampai saatnya hal itu akan terjadi?"
[Later] his disciples asked him, “Teacher, when will that happen? What will happen [to the temple] to indicate that the things [you(sg) just told us] are about to happen?”
8 Yesus berkata, "Waspadalah, jangan sampai kalian tertipu. Banyak orang akan datang dengan memakai nama-Ku, dan berkata, 'Akulah Dia!' dan 'Sudah waktunya.' Tetapi janganlah kalian mengikuti mereka.
He said, “[All that I will say is], be sure that you are not deceived {that they do not deceive [you]} [about these things]! Many [people] will come and say (that I [sent them]/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will also [say] ‘It is now the time [when God will begin to rule]!’ Do not follow them [to become their disciples]
9 Janganlah juga takut kalau kalian mendengar berita mengenai peperangan dan pemberontakan. Semuanya itu harus terjadi dahulu. Tetapi itu tidak berarti bahwa sudah waktunya kiamat."
Also, whenever you hear about wars and riots, do not be terrified. Keep in mind that [God has said that] those things must happen. But [when they happen], it will not mean that [the world] will end right away!”
10 Lalu Yesus meneruskan pembicaraan-Nya, kata-Nya, "Bangsa yang satu akan berperang melawan bangsa yang lain dan negara yang satu akan menyerang negara yang lain.
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 Di mana-mana akan terjadi gempa bumi yang hebat, bahaya kelaparan dan wabah penyakit. Akan terjadi hal-hal yang mengerikan dan dahsyat di langit.
There will be [big] earthquakes, and in various places there will be famines and plagues. [People will see] things that will terrify them. There will also be unusual things happening in the sky.
12 Tetapi sebelum semuanya itu terjadi, kalian akan ditangkap dan dianiaya. Kalian akan diadili di rumah-rumah ibadat dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara. Dan kalian akan diseret ke hadapan raja-raja dan penguasa-penguasa karena kalian pengikut-Ku.
But before all these things happen, [some of] you will be persecuted and arrested {people will persecute some of you and arrest you} [MTY]. [Some of] you will be put {They will put [some of] you} [on trial] in the places where you gather to worship, and [you will be thrown] into prison. You will be put on trial {[They] will put you on trial} in front of high government authorities because you are my [MTY] [disciples].
13 Itulah kesempatan bagimu untuk memberitakan Kabar Baik dari Allah.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Bertekadlah bahwa kalian tidak akan khawatir mengenai apa yang harus kalian katakan untuk membela diri.
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 Aku sendiri akan memberi kepadamu kata-kata dan kebijaksanaan itu, sehingga tak seorang pun dari musuh-musuhmu dapat melawan atau menyangkal apa yang kalian katakan.
because I will make you wise [HEN] so that you will [know] what to say. As a result, none of your enemies will be able to oppose what you say or (refute you/show that you are wrong).
16 Kalian akan dikhianati oleh ibu bapakmu, oleh saudara-saudaramu, oleh sanak keluargamu dan oleh kawan-kawanmu. Sebagian dari kalian akan dibunuh oleh mereka.
[And there will also be other evil things that will happen]: Even your parents and brothers and [other] relatives and friends [who do not believe in me] will (betray you/help your enemies to seize you). They will kill some of you.
17 Kalian akan dibenci oleh semua orang karena kalian pengikut-Ku.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Tetapi sehelai rambut pun dari kepalamu tidak akan hilang.
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 Kalau kalian bertahan dan sabar, kalian akan selamat."
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 "Apabila kalian melihat Yerusalem dikepung tentara, kalian akan tahu bahwa kota itu tidak lama lagi akan dimusnahkan.
“But when you see that Jerusalem has been surrounded by the armies of [your enemies], you will know that it is time for [this city] to be completely destroyed {[them] to completely destroy [this city]}.
21 Pada waktu itu haruslah orang yang berada di Yudea lari ke pegunungan. Mereka yang berada di dalam kota harus meninggalkan kota, dan mereka yang di luar kota jangan masuk ke dalam kota.
At that time those [of you] who are in Judea [district] must flee to the [higher] hills. Those who are in this city must leave [quickly]. Those who are in the nearby countryside must not go back into the city [to get any of their possessions before they flee].
22 Sebab hari-hari itu adalah 'Hari-hari Hukuman Dijatuhkan', supaya dengan demikian terjadilah apa yang sudah tertulis dalam Alkitab.
[You must obey what I tell you] because, in order that all the things that are written [in the Scriptures] will be fulfilled, [God] will very severely punish [the people who stay in this city].
23 Alangkah ngerinya hari-hari itu untuk wanita yang mengandung, dan ibu yang masih menyusui bayi! Negeri ini akan mengalami kesusahan yang besar, dan Tuhan akan menghukum bangsa ini.
[I feel] very sorry for women [in this city] who will be pregnant, and women who will be nursing [their babies] in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away! I] feel sorry [because] the people in this [land] will suffer greatly [MTY] [when God punishes them].
24 Ada yang akan dibunuh dengan pedang, ada pula yang akan dibawa sebagai tawanan ke negeri-negeri orang; dan orang-orang yang tidak mengenal Allah akan menginjak-injak Yerusalem sampai habis waktu yang sudah ditentukan Tuhan untuk mereka."
Many of them will be killed {Their enemies will kill many of them} with swords. [Others will be captured] and taken {They will capture [others] and take them} to [HYP] [other] countries. Non-Jewish people will trample over Jerusalem until the time [that God has determined for them to rule the city] is ended.”
25 "Nanti pada matahari, bulan, dan bintang-bintang akan kelihatan tanda-tanda. Di bumi, bangsa-bangsa akan takut dan bingung menghadapi deru dan gelora laut.
“There will also be strange things that will [happen to] the sun, the moon, and the stars. In [many] nations, [people] will be very frightened, and they will be anxious [when they hear] the ocean roaring and [see huge] waves.
26 Manusia akan takut setengah mati menghadapi apa yang akan terjadi di seluruh dunia ini, sebab para penguasa angkasa raya akan menjadi kacau-balau.
People will faint because they will be afraid as they wait for what will happen. [They will be afraid] because the powerful [objects] in the sky will be shaken {shake}.
27 Pada waktu itulah Anak Manusia akan datang di dalam awan dengan kuasa dan kemuliaan yang besar.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Apabila hal-hal itu mulai terjadi, bangunlah dan angkatlah kepalamu, sebab sebentar lagi kalian akan diselamatkan."
So when these things that [I have just now described] begin to happen, stand up [straight and] be brave, because it will be close to the time when [God] will free you [from all suffering].”
29 Lalu Yesus menceritakan kepada mereka perumpamaan berikut ini, kata-Nya, "Perhatikanlah pohon ara dan semua pohon yang lain.
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 Apabila pucuk-pucuknya mulai kelihatan, kalian tahu bahwa sudah hampir musim panas.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Begitu juga kalau kalian melihat hal-hal itu terjadi, kalian akan tahu bahwa Allah segera akan memerintah sebagai Raja.
Similarly, when you see these things that [I have just described] happening, you will know that it is almost time for God to [truly] rule as king.
32 Ketahuilah! Hal-hal itu akan terjadi sebelum orang-orang yang hidup sekarang ini mati semuanya.
Keep this in mind: All the things that [I have just now described] will happen before all the people who have observed the things that I have done have died.
33 Langit dan bumi akan lenyap, tetapi perkataan-Ku tetap selama-lamanya."
[You can be certain that these things] that I have told [you] about will happen. That they will happen is more [certain] than that the earth and sky will continue to exist.”
34 "Jagalah dirimu, jangan sampai kalian terlalu sibuk berpesta-pesta dan minum minuman keras, atau terlalu memikirkan soal-soal hidupmu, sehingga kalian tidak siap ketika hari itu muncul dengan tiba-tiba.
“But be on guard. Do not be getting drunk with carousing or let yourselves be distracted by worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] {or let worries [concerning] your lives [SYN] distract you}. [If you do wrong things like those, you may be suddenly surprised by my return] [MTY], like a trap [suddenly catches an animal in it].
35 Sebab Hari itu akan datang seperti perangkap pada semua orang di muka bumi ini.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Berjaga-jagalah, dan berdoalah selalu supaya kalian kuat mengatasi semua hal yang bakal terjadi dan kalian dapat menghadap Anak Manusia."
So be ready at all times. Pray that you will be able to endure without being afraid of all these [difficult] things that will happen, so that you will then stand [confidently] before me, the one who came from heaven.”
37 Yesus mengajar di Rumah Tuhan pada siang hari, dan malam harinya Ia pergi ke Bukit Zaitun dan tinggal di situ.
Each day [during that week Jesus] taught the people in the Temple [courtyard in Jerusalem]. But at night he [and his disciples] left [the city] and stayed on Olive [Tree] Hill.
38 Setiap pagi semua orang datang ke Rumah Tuhan untuk mendengar Yesus mengajar.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
