Markus 2
1 Beberapa hari kemudian Yesus kembali ke Kapernaum. Maka tersebarlah kabar bahwa Ia sedang di rumah.
And again He entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and it was heard that He is in the house,
2 Lalu banyak orang datang. Mereka berkerumun di sana sampai tidak ada lagi tempat. Di pintu pun penuh sesak dengan orang. Lalu Yesus menyampaikan berita dari Allah kepada mereka.
and immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door, and He was speaking to them the word.
3 Sementara Ia berbicara, empat orang mengusung seorang lumpuh untuk membawanya kepada Yesus.
And they come to Him, bringing a paralytic, carried by four,
4 Tetapi karena orang terlalu banyak, mereka tidak dapat sampai ke dekat-Nya. Jadi, mereka membongkar atap tepat di atas tempat Yesus berada. Setelah itu, mereka menurunkan orang lumpuh itu bersama tikarnya.
and not being able to come near to Him because of the multitude, they uncovered the roof where He was, and having broken [it] up, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying,
5 Waktu Yesus melihat betapa besar iman mereka, Ia berkata kepada orang lumpuh itu, "Anak-Ku, dosa-dosamu sudah diampuni."
and Jesus having seen their faith, says to the paralytic, “Child, your sins have been forgiven you.”
6 Beberapa guru agama yang sedang duduk di situ mulai bertanya-tanya di dalam hati,
And there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 "Berani benar orang ini bicara begitu! Ia menghina Allah. Siapa yang boleh mengampuni dosa, selain Allah sendiri?"
“Why does this One thus speak evil words? Who is able to forgive sins except one—God?”
8 Pada waktu itu juga Yesus tahu pikiran mereka. Lalu Ia berkata, "Mengapa kalian bertanya-tanya begitu di dalam hatimu?
And immediately Jesus, having known in His spirit that they thus reason in themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts?
9 Manakah yang lebih mudah: mengatakan, 'Dosamu sudah diampuni', atau mengatakan 'Bangunlah, angkat tikarmu dan berjalanlah'?
Which is easier? To say to the paralytic, Your sins are forgiven; or to say, Rise, and take up your pallet, and walk?
10 Tetapi sekarang Aku akan membuktikan kepadamu bahwa di atas bumi ini Anak Manusia berkuasa mengampuni dosa." Lalu Yesus berkata kepada orang yang lumpuh itu,
And that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins—(He says to the paralytic)—
11 "Bangunlah, angkat tikarmu dan pulanglah!"
I say to you, rise, and take up your pallet, and go away to your house”;
12 Ia bangkit dan segera mengambil tikarnya lalu keluar disaksikan oleh mereka semua. Orang-orang itu kagum lalu memuji Allah. Kata mereka, "Belum pernah kita melihat kejadian seperti ini!"
and he rose immediately, and having taken up the pallet, he went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and glorify God, saying, “Never thus did we see.”
13 Yesus kembali lagi ke pantai Danau Galilea. Banyak orang datang kepada-Nya, dan Ia mengajar mereka.
And He went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude was coming to Him, and He was teaching them,
14 Sementara Yesus berjalan di situ, Ia melihat seorang penagih pajak bernama Lewi, anak Alfeus, sedang duduk di kantor pajak. "Ikutlah Aku," kata Yesus kepadanya. Maka Lewi berdiri dan mengikuti Yesus.
and passing by, He saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the tax office, and says to him, “Follow Me,” and he, having risen, followed Him.
15 Waktu Yesus sedang makan di rumah Lewi, datanglah banyak penagih pajak dan orang-orang yang dianggap tidak baik oleh masyarakat ikut makan bersama-sama Yesus dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya. Sebab banyak di antara mereka mengikuti Yesus.
And it came to pass, in His reclining in his house, that many tax collectors and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples, for there were many, and they followed Him.
16 Beberapa guru agama dari golongan Farisi melihat Yesus makan bersama-sama dengan penagih-penagih pajak dan orang-orang yang dianggap tidak baik itu. Jadi mereka bertanya kepada pengikut-pengikut Yesus, "Mengapa gurumu makan bersama dengan penagih-penagih pajak dan orang-orang yang tidak baik itu?"
And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, said to His disciples, “Why—that with the tax collectors and sinners He eats and drinks?”
17 Yesus mendengar pertanyaan mereka itu, lalu menjawab, "Orang yang sehat tidak memerlukan dokter; hanya orang yang sakit saja. Aku datang bukannya untuk memanggil orang yang menganggap dirinya sudah baik, melainkan orang yang dianggap hina."
And Jesus, having heard, says to them, “They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I did not come to call righteous men, but sinners.”
18 Pada suatu waktu pengikut-pengikut Yohanes Pembaptis dan orang-orang Farisi sedang berpuasa. Lalu ada orang datang kepada Yesus dan bertanya, "Mengapa pengikut Yohanes Pembaptis dan pengikut orang Farisi berpuasa, sedangkan pengikut Bapak tidak?"
And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were fasting, and they come and say to Him, “Why do the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and Your disciples do not fast?”
19 Yesus menjawab, "Pada pesta kawin, apakah tamu-tamu tidak makan? Kalau pengantin laki-laki masih bersama-sama mereka, tentu mereka makan.
And Jesus said to them, “Are the sons of the bride-chamber able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? As long a time [as] they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast;
20 Tetapi akan datang waktunya pengantin laki-laki itu diambil dari mereka. Pada waktu itu barulah mereka tidak makan.
but days will come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they will fast—in those days.
21 Tidak ada orang yang menambal baju tua dengan sepotong kain baru. Sebab kain penambal itu akan menciut dan menyobek baju itu, sehingga mengakibatkan sobekan yang lebih besar.
And no one sews a patch of undressed cloth on an old garment, and if not—the new, filling it up, takes from the old and the split becomes worse;
22 Begitu juga tidak ada orang yang menuang anggur baru ke dalam kantong kulit yang tua. Karena anggur baru itu akan menyebabkan kantong itu pecah. Akhirnya kedua-duanya terbuang. Anggur yang baru harus dituang ke dalam kantong yang baru juga!"
and no one puts new wine into old skins, and if not—the new wine bursts the skins, and the wine is poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine is to be put into new skins.”
23 Pada suatu hari Sabat, ketika Yesus lewat sebuah ladang gandum, pengikut-pengikut-Nya mulai memetik gandum.
And it came to pass—He is going along on the Sabbaths through the grainfields—and His disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,
24 Lalu orang-orang Farisi berkata kepada Yesus, "Mengapa pengikut-pengikut-M melanggar hukum agama kita, dengan melakukan yang dilarang pada hari Sabat?"
and the Pharisees said to Him, “Behold, why do they do on the Sabbaths that which is not lawful?”
25 Yesus menjawab, "Belum pernahkah kalian membaca apa yang dilakukan Daud, ketika Abyatar sedang bertugas menjadi imam agung. Waktu Daud dan orang-orangnya lapar, dan tidak punya makanan, ia masuk ke Rumah Tuhan, dan makan roti yang sudah dipersembahkan kepada Allah. Dan roti itu diberikannya juga kepada orang-orangnya. Padahal menurut agama kita, imam-imam saja yang boleh makan roti itu."
And He said to them, “Did you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?
How he went into the house of God, in [the days of] Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the Bread of the Presentation, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he also gave to those who were with him?”
27 Lalu Yesus berkata lagi, "Hari Sabat dibuat untuk manusia; bukan manusia untuk hari Sabat.
And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath,
28 Jadi, Anak Manusia berkuasa, bahkan atas hari Sabat."
so that the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.”
