Matius 15
1 Sekelompok orang Farisi dan beberapa guru agama dari Yerusalem datang kepada Yesus. Mereka bertanya kepada-Nya,
Then they come to Jesus from Jerusalem—scribes and Pharisees—saying,
2 "Mengapa pengikut-pengikut-Mu melanggar adat istiadat nenek moyang kita? Waktu akan makan, mereka tidak mencuci tangan lebih dahulu menurut peraturan!"
“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.”
3 Yesus menjawab, "Dan mengapa kalian juga melanggar perintah Allah, hanya karena mau mengikuti adat istiadat nenek moyangmu?
And He answering said to them, “Why also do you transgress the command of God because of your tradition?
4 Sebab Allah berkata, 'Hormatilah ayah dan ibumu,' dan 'Barangsiapa mengata-ngatai ayah ibunya, harus dihukum mati.'
For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother—let him die the death;
5 Tetapi kalian mengajarkan: kalau orang berkata kepada orang tuanya, 'Apa yang seharusnya saya berikan kepada ayah dan ibu, sudah saya persembahkan kepada Allah,'
but you say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An offering [is] whatever you may be profited by me—
6 maka orang itu tidak lagi diwajibkan untuk menghormati orang tuanya. Jadi, karena adat istiadat nenek moyangmu, kalian meremehkan perkataan Allah.
and he may not honor his father or his mother, and you set aside the command of God because of your tradition.
7 Kalian orang munafik! Tepat sekali apa yang dinubuatkan Yesaya tentang kalian, yaitu,
Hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well of you, saying,
8 'Begini kata Allah: Orang-orang itu hanya menyembah Aku dengan kata-kata, tetapi hati mereka jauh dari Aku.
This people draws near to Me with their mouth, and with the lips it honors Me, but their heart is far off from Me;
9 Percuma mereka menyembah Aku, sebab peraturan manusia mereka ajarkan seolah-olah itu peraturan-Ku.'"
and in vain they worship Me, teaching teachings—commands of men.”
10 Kemudian Yesus memanggil orang-orang dan berkata kepada mereka, "Dengarlah supaya mengerti!
And having called near the multitude, He said to them, “Hear and understand:
11 Yang masuk ke mulut tidak membuat orang itu najis; hanya yang keluar dari mulutnya, itulah yang menjadikan dia najis."
[it is] not that which is coming into the mouth [that] defiles the man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this defiles the man.”
12 Lalu pengikut-pengikut Yesus datang dan berkata kepada-Nya, "Tahukah Bapak bahwa orang-orang Farisi itu tersinggung waktu mendengar Bapak berkata begitu?"
Then His disciples having come near, said to Him, “Have You known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?”
13 Yesus menjawab, "Setiap tanaman yang tidak ditanam oleh Bapa-Ku di surga akan dicabut.
And He answering said, “Every plant that My heavenly Father did not plant will be rooted up;
14 Tidak usah hiraukan orang-orang Farisi itu. Mereka itu pemimpin-pemimpin buta; dan kalau orang buta memimpin orang buta, kedua-duanya akan jatuh ke dalam parit."
leave them alone, they are guides—blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
15 Petrus berkata, "Tolong jelaskan perumpamaan itu kepada kami, Pak!"
And Peter answering said to Him, “Explain to us this allegory.”
16 Yesus menjawab mereka, "Apa kalian juga belum mengerti?
And Jesus said, “Are you also yet without understanding?
17 Tidak tahukah kalian, bahwa yang masuk ke dalam mulut turun ke dalam perut, dan kemudian keluar lagi?
Do you not understand that all that is going into the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast forth into the drain?
18 Tetapi yang keluar dari mulut, berasal dari hati; dan itulah yang membuat orang menjadi najis.
But the things coming forth from the mouth come forth from the heart, and these defile the man;
19 Sebab dari hati timbul pikiran-pikiran jahat, yang menyebabkan orang membunuh, berzinah, berbuat cabul, mencuri, memberi kesaksian palsu dan memfitnah.
for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, slanders:
20 Hal-hal itulah yang menyebabkan orang menjadi najis, dan bukan makan dengan tangan yang tidak dicuci."
these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
21 Kemudian Yesus meninggalkan tempat itu dan pergi ke daerah dekat kota Tirus dan Sidon.
And Jesus having come forth from there, withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon,
22 Seorang wanita Kanaan dari daerah itu, datang kepada Yesus sambil berseru-seru, "Anak Daud, kasihanilah saya! Anak perempuan saya kemasukan roh jahat. Keadaannya parah betul."
and behold, a woman, a Canaanite, having come forth from those borders, called to Him, saying, “Deal kindly with me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.”
23 Yesus tidak menjawab wanita itu sama sekali. Lalu pengikut-pengikut Yesus datang kepada-Nya dan memohon, "Pak, suruh wanita itu pergi. Dia hanya ribut-ribut saja di belakang kita!"
And He did not answer her a word; and His disciples having come to Him, were asking Him, saying, “Let her away, because she cries after us”;
24 Yesus menjawab, "Aku diutus hanya kepada bangsa Israel, khususnya kepada mereka yang sesat."
and He answering said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 Wanita itu datang lalu sujud di hadapan Yesus dan berkata, "Tolonglah saya, Tuan."
And having come, she was worshiping Him, saying, “Lord, help me”;
26 Yesus menjawab, "Tidak baik mengambil makanan anak-anak dan melemparkannya kepada anjing."
and He answering said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast to the little dogs.”
27 "Benar, Tuan," jawab wanita itu, "tetapi anjing pun makan sisa-sisa yang jatuh dari meja tuannya."
And she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the little dogs eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords’ table”;
28 Lalu Yesus berkata kepadanya, "Ibu, sungguh besar imanmu! Biarlah terjadi apa yang kauinginkan!" Pada saat itu juga anak wanita itu sembuh.
then answering, Jesus said to her, “O woman, great [is] your faith, let it be to you as you will”; and her daughter was healed from that hour.
29 Yesus meninggalkan tempat itu, lalu berjalan menyusur pantai Danau Galilea. Kemudian Ia naik ke sebuah bukit lalu duduk di situ.
And having departed from there, Jesus came near to the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, He was sitting there,
30 Banyak orang datang kepada-Nya membawa orang-orang yang timpang, yang buta, yang lumpuh, yang bisu, dan banyak lagi orang sakit yang lain. Mereka meletakkan orang-orang itu di depan Yesus, dan Ia menyembuhkan orang-orang itu.
and there came to Him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus, and He healed them,
31 Orang banyak yang ada di situ heran sekali, waktu mereka melihat orang bisu dapat berbicara, orang timpang sembuh, orang lumpuh berjalan, dan orang buta melihat. Lalu mereka memuji-muji Allah bangsa Israel.
so that the multitudes wondered, seeing mute ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Kemudian Yesus memanggil pengikut-pengikut-Nya lalu berkata, "Aku kasihan kepada orang banyak ini. Sudah tiga hari lamanya mereka bersama-sama Aku, dan sekarang mereka tidak punya makanan. Aku tidak mau membiarkan mereka pulang dengan perut kosong, nanti mereka pingsan di jalan."
And Jesus having called near His disciples, said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they do not have what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.”
33 Lalu pengikut-pengikut Yesus bertanya kepada-Nya, "Di mana kita bisa mendapat makanan di daerah terpencil ini untuk orang sebanyak ini?"
And His disciples say to Him, “From where to us in a wilderness [will we get] so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?”
34 "Ada berapa roti pada kalian?" tanya Yesus kepada mereka. "Tujuh," jawab mereka, "dan ikan kecil beberapa ekor."
And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fishes.”
35 Maka Yesus menyuruh orang banyak itu duduk di atas tanah.
And He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the ground,
36 Lalu Ia mengambil ketujuh roti dan ikannya, kemudian mengucap syukur kepada Allah. Sesudah itu Ia membelah-belah roti dan ikan itu dengan tangan-Nya, lalu memberikan-Nya kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya. Dan mereka membagi-bagikannya kepada orang banyak itu.
and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, He broke, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples [gave] to the multitude.
37 Semua orang itu makan sampai kenyang. Setelah itu pengikut-pengikut Yesus mengumpulkan kelebihan makanan itu. Semuanya ada tujuh bakul penuh.
And they all ate, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
38 Jumlah orang laki-laki saja yang makan pada waktu itu ada empat ribu orang, belum terhitung wanita dan anak-anak.
and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
39 Kemudian Yesus menyuruh orang banyak itu pulang. Ia sendiri naik sebuah perahu dan pergi ke daerah Magadan.
And having let away the multitudes, He went into the boat, and came to the borders of Magdala.
