Lukas 9
1 Yesus memanggil kedua belas pengikut-Nya, lalu memberi kepada mereka kuasa untuk mengusir roh jahat dan menyembuhkan penyakit.
Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;
2 Kemudian Ia menyuruh mereka pergi menyembuhkan orang sakit dan menyiarkan berita tentang bagaimana Allah memerintah sebagai Raja.
and sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to cure the sick.
3 "Jangan membawa apa-apa untuk perjalananmu," kata Yesus kepada mereka. "Jangan membawa tongkat, atau kantong sedekah, atau makanan, atau uang, ataupun dua helai pakaian.
And He commanded them, "Take nothing for your journey; neither stick nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have an extra under garment.
4 Di mana saja kalian diterima, tinggallah di situ sampai kalian meninggalkan kota itu.
Whatever house you enter, make that your home, and from it start afresh.
5 Dan di mana kalian tidak diterima, pada waktu kalian meninggalkan kota itu, kebaskanlah debu dari tapak kakimu, sebagai peringatan terhadap mereka."
Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them."
6 Pengikut-pengikut Yesus berangkat, lalu pergi ke desa-desa untuk memberitakan Kabar Baik itu dan menyembuhkan orang sakit di mana-mana.
So they departed and visited village after village, spreading the Good News and performing cures everywhere.
7 Ketika Herodes, yang memerintah di Galilea, mendengar tentang semua kejadian itu, ia bingung. Sebab ada yang berkata bahwa Yohanes Pembaptis sudah hidup kembali.
Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,
8 Ada juga yang berkata bahwa Elia sudah muncul lagi. Orang lain pula berkata bahwa seorang nabi dari nabi-nabi dahulu kala sudah hidup kembali.
by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.
9 Herodes berkata, "Saya sudah menyuruh orang memancung kepala Yohanes. Tetapi Orang ini, siapa sebenarnya Dia? Ada banyak yang sudah saya dengar tentang Dia." Maka Herodes berusaha untuk melihat Yesus.
And Herod said, "John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?" And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.
10 Rasul-rasul Yesus kembali dan menceritakan kepada Yesus semua yang mereka sudah lakukan. Yesus mengajak mereka, lalu pergi bersama-sama mereka menyendiri ke kota Betsaida.
The Apostles, on their return, related to Jesus all they had done. Then He took them and withdrew to a quiet retreat, to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Tetapi ketika orang-orang mengetahui tentang hal itu, mereka mengikuti Yesus. Ia menerima mereka, lalu berbicara kepada mereka tentang bagaimana Allah memerintah sebagai Raja. Dan Ia juga menyembuhkan orang sakit di antara mereka.
But the immense crowd, aware of this, followed Him; and receiving them kindly He proceeded to speak to them of the Kingdom of God, and those who needed to be restored to health, He cured.
12 Ketika matahari mulai terbenam, kedua belas pengikut Yesus datang kepada-Nya dan berkata, "Pak, tempat ini terpencil. Lebih baik Bapak menyuruh orang-orang ini pergi, supaya mereka dapat mencari makanan dan tempat menginap di kampung-kampung dan desa-desa di sekitar ini."
Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district."
13 Tetapi Yesus menjawab, "Kalian saja memberi mereka makan." Pengikut-pengikut Yesus berkata, "Kami hanya punya lima roti dan dua ikan. Apakah kami harus pergi membeli makanan untuk semua orang ini?"
"You yourselves," He said, "must give them food." "We have nothing," they replied, "but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people."
14 (Ada kira-kira lima ribu orang laki-laki di situ.) Yesus berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya, "Suruhlah orang-orang ini duduk berkelompok, kira-kira lima puluh orang sekelompok."
(For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each."
15 Pengikut-pengikut Yesus itu melakukan apa yang dikatakan Yesus kepada mereka.
They did so, making them all, without exception, sit down.
16 Lalu Yesus mengambil lima roti dan dua ikan itu, kemudian menengadah ke langit dan mengucap terima kasih kepada Allah. Setelah itu Ia membelah-belah roti dan ikan itu dengan tangan-Nya lalu memberikannya kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya untuk dibagi-bagikan kepada orang banyak itu.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed them and broke them into portions which He gave to the disciples to distribute to the people.
17 Mereka semuanya makan sampai kenyang. Lalu pengikut-pengikut Yesus mengumpulkan kelebihan makanan itu sebanyak dua belas bakul.
So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.
18 Pada suatu hari, ketika Yesus sedang berdoa sendirian, pengikut-pengikut-N datang kepada-Nya. Yesus bertanya kepada mereka, "Menurut kata orang, Aku ini siapa?"
One day when He was praying by Himself the disciples were present; and He asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"
19 Mereka menjawab, "Ada yang berkata Yohanes Pembaptis. Ada juga yang berkata Elia, yang lain lagi berkata salah seorang nabi zaman dahulu yang sudah hidup kembali."
"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."
20 "Tetapi menurut kalian sendiri, Aku ini siapa?" tanya Yesus. Petrus menjawab, "Bapak adalah Raja Penyelamat yang dijanjikan Allah."
"But you," He asked, "who do you say that I am?" "God's Anointed One," replied Peter.
21 Lalu Yesus berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya, "Jangan sekali-kali memberitahukan hal itu kepada siapa pun."
And Jesus strictly forbad them to tell this to any one;
22 Yesus berkata juga, "Anak Manusia memang harus banyak menderita dan ditentang oleh pemimpin-pemimpin dan imam-imam kepala, serta guru-guru agama. Ia akan dibunuh, tetapi pada hari ketiga akan dibangkitkan kembali."
and He said, "The Son of Man must suffer much cruelty, be rejected by the Elders and High Priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again."
23 Kemudian Yesus berkata kepada semua orang yang ada di situ, "Orang yang mau mengikuti Aku, harus melupakan kepentingannya sendiri, memikul salibnya tiap-tiap hari, dan terus mengikuti Aku.
And He said to all, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross day by day, and so be my follower.
24 Sebab orang yang mau mempertahankan hidupnya, akan kehilangan hidupnya. Tetapi orang yang mengurbankan hidupnya untuk kepentingan-Ku, akan menyelamatkannya.
For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
25 Apa untungnya bagi seseorang kalau seluruh dunia ini menjadi miliknya, tetapi ia merusak dan kehilangan hidupnya?
Why, what benefit is it to a man to have gained the whole world, but to have lost or forfeited his own self.
26 Kalau orang malu mengakui Aku dan pengajaran-Ku, Anak Manusia juga akan malu mengakui orang itu pada waktu Ia datang nanti dengan kuasa-Nya, dan dengan kuasa Bapa serta kuasa malaikat-malaikat yang suci!
For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.
27 Ketahuilah: dari antara kalian di sini ada yang tidak akan mati sebelum ia melihat Allah memerintah."
I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God."
28 Kira-kira seminggu setelah Yesus mengajarkan hal-hal itu, Ia membawa Petrus, Yohanes, dan Yakobus ke atas sebuah gunung untuk berdoa.
It was about eight days after this that Jesus, taking with Him Peter, John, and James, went up the mountain to pray.
29 Sementara Yesus berdoa di situ, muka-Nya berubah dan pakaian-Nya menjadi putih berkilauan.
And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.
30 Tiba-tiba dua orang, yaitu Musa dan Elia menampakkan diri dengan cahaya dari surga. Mereka berbicara dengan Yesus mengenai kematian-Nya yang tidak lama lagi akan dijalankan-Nya di Yerusalem.
And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.
They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem.
32 Pada waktu itu Petrus dan kawan-kawannya tertidur, tetapi tiba-tiba bangun, dan melihat Yesus bercahaya dan dua orang itu berdiri dengan Dia.
Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
33 Pada waktu kedua orang itu hendak meninggalkan Yesus, Petrus berkata kepada Yesus, "Bapak Guru, enak sekali kita di sini. Baiklah kami mendirikan tiga kemah: satu untuk Tuan, satu untuk Musa, dan satu lagi untuk Elia." (Petrus berkata begitu tanpa mengerti apa yang dikatakannya.)
And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying.
34 Sementara Petrus masih berbicara, datanglah sebuah awan, dan meliputi mereka, sehingga mereka takut.
But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.
35 Kemudian dari awan itu terdengar suara yang berkata, "Inilah Anak-Ku yang Kupilih. Dengarkan Dia!"
Then there came a voice from within the cloud: "This is My Son, My Chosen One: listen to Him."
36 Setelah suara itu berhenti, mereka melihat Yesus sendirian di situ. Pengikut-pengikut Yesus diam saja tentang semuanya itu, dan tidak memberitahukan kepada siapa pun apa yang telah mereka lihat.
After this voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept it to themselves, and said not a word to any one at that time about what they had seen.
37 Keesokan harinya Yesus dan ketiga pengikut-Nya turun dari gunung itu, dan orang banyak datang kepada Yesus.
On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him;
38 Seorang laki-laki dari tengah-tengah orang banyak itu berteriak, "Pak Guru, tolonglah melihat anak saya--dia satu-satunya anak saya!
and a man from the crowd called out, "Rabbi, I beg you to pity my son, for he is my only child.
39 Apabila roh jahat menyerang dia, ia mendadak berteriak dan badannya kejang-kejang sampai mulutnya berbusa. Roh itu terus menyiksa dia dan tidak mau keluar dari dia!
At times a spirit seizes him and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him, and makes him foam at the mouth, and does not leave him till it has well-nigh covered him with bruises.
40 Sudah saya minta pengikut-pengikut Bapak mengusir roh itu, tetapi mereka tidak dapat."
I entreated your disciples to expel the spirit, but they could not."
41 Yesus menjawab, "Bukan main kalian ini! Kalian sungguh orang-orang yang menyeleweng dan tidak percaya! Sampai kapan Aku harus tinggal bersama kalian dan bersabar terhadap kalian? Bawa anakmu itu ke mari!"
"O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here to me."
42 Sementara anak itu berjalan menuju Yesus, roh jahat itu membanting dia dan membuat badannya kejang-kejang. Tetapi Yesus memerintahkan roh jahat itu keluar dan sembuhlah anak itu. Lalu anak itu diserahkan kembali kepada ayahnya.
Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.
43 Semua orang heran melihat kuasa Allah yang begitu besar. Pada waktu orang-orang masih terheran-heran melihat semua yang dilakukan-Nya, Yesus berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya,
And all were awe-struck at the mighty power of God. And while every one was expressing wonder at all that He was doing, He said to his disciples,
44 "Perhatikanlah baik-baik dan jangan lupa kata-kata-Ku ini: Anak Manusia akan diserahkan kepada kuasa manusia."
"As for you, store these my sayings in your memory; for, before long, the Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men."
45 Tetapi pengikut-pengikut Yesus itu tidak mengerti perkataan-Nya itu. Hal itu dirahasiakan kepada mereka supaya mereka tidak mengerti. Tetapi mereka takut menanyakan hal itu kepada-Nya.
But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
46 Di antara pengikut-pengikut Yesus timbul pertengkaran tentang siapa dari mereka yang terbesar.
Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
47 Yesus tahu pikiran mereka, sebab itu Ia mengambil seorang anak kecil dan membuat anak itu berdiri di samping-Nya.
And Jesus, knowing the reasoning that was in their hearts, took a young child and made him stand by His side
48 Lalu Ia berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya, "Orang yang menerima anak ini karena Aku, berarti menerima Aku. Dan orang yang menerima Aku, menerima Dia yang mengutus Aku. Sebab orang yang terkecil di antara kalian, dialah yang terbesar!"
and said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."
49 Yohanes berkata, "Tuan, kami melihat orang mengusir setan atas nama Tuan, dan kami melarang dia, sebab ia bukan dari kita."
"Rabbi," replied John, "we have seen a man making use of your name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does not come with us."
50 "Jangan melarang dia," kata Yesus kepada Yohanes dan pengikut-pengikut Yesus yang lainnya, "sebab orang yang tidak melawan kalian, berarti berpihak pada kalian."
"Do not forbid him," said Jesus, "for he who is not against you is on your side."
51 Ketika sudah dekat waktunya Yesus diangkat ke surga, Ia mengambil keputusan untuk pergi ke Yerusalem.
Now when the time drew near for Him to be received up again into Heaven, He proceeded with fixed purpose towards Jerusalem, and sent messengers before Him.
52 Maka Ia menyuruh orang pergi mendahului Dia. Orang-orang yang disuruh-Nya itu pergi, lalu masuk ke sebuah kampung di Samaria untuk menyiapkan segala sesuatu bagi Yesus.
They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.
53 Tetapi orang-orang di kampung itu tidak mau menerima Yesus, sebab nyata sekali Ia sedang menuju ke Yerusalem.
But the people there would not receive Him, because He was evidently going to Jerusalem.
54 Maka pada waktu pengikut-pengikut Yesus, yaitu Yakobus dan Yohanes tahu tentang hal itu, mereka berkata, "Tuhan, apakah Tuhan mau, kami minta api turun dari langit untuk membinasakan orang-orang ini?"
When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Master, do you wish us to order fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?"
55 Yesus berpaling, lalu memarahi mereka.
But He turned and rebuked them.
56 Setelah itu mereka pergi ke kampung yang lain.
And they went to another village.
57 Sementara Yesus dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya meneruskan perjalanan, ada orang berkata kepada Yesus, "Pak, saya mau mengikuti Bapak ke mana saja!"
And, as they proceeded on their way, a man came to Him and said, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58 Yesus menjawab, "Serigala punya liang, dan burung punya sarang, tetapi Anak Manusia tidak punya tempat berbaring."
"The foxes have holes," said Jesus, "and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
59 Lalu Yesus berkata kepada seorang yang lain, "Ikutlah Aku." Tetapi orang itu berkata, "Pak, izinkanlah saya pulang dahulu untuk menguburkan ayah saya."
"Follow me," He said to another. "Master," the man replied, "allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Yesus menjawab, "Biarkan orang mati menguburkan orang matinya sendiri. Tetapi engkau, pergi dan siarkanlah berita bahwa Allah sudah mulai memerintah."
"Leave the dead," Jesus rejoined, "to bury their own dead; but you must go and announce far and wide the coming of the Kingdom of God."
61 Ada juga seorang lain yang berkata, "Pak, saya mau mengikuti Bapak, tetapi izinkanlah saya pulang dahulu untuk pamit."
"Master," said yet another, "I will follow you; but allow me first to go and say good-bye to my friends at home."
62 Yesus berkata kepada orang itu, "Orang yang sudah mulai membajak, lalu menengok ke belakang, tidak layak menjadi anggota umat Allah."
Jesus answered him, "No one who has put his hand to the plough, and then looks behind him, is fit for the Kingdom of God.
