Lukas 20
1 Suatu ketika saat Yesus sedang mengajar orang banyak di rumah Tuhan, menceritakan kepada mereka tentang Kabar Baik, beberapa imam kepala dan pengajar-pengajar agama datang bersama dengan para pemimpin Israel.
One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
2 Dan mereka bertanya kepada-Nya, “Beritahukan kepada kami, dengan otoritas siapa Engkau melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan ini? Siapa yang memberi-Mu hak untuk melakukan ini?”
They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
3 “Jika begitu, biarkan Aku bertanya juga kepada kalian,” jawab Yesus. “Beritahu aku:
He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
4 baptisan Yohanes — apakah itu berasal dari surga, atau itu hanya perbuatan manusia?”
where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
5 Maka mereka merundingkan jawaban untuk pertanyaan Yesus: “Jika kita katakan itu berasal dari surga, Dia akan bertanya, ‘Lalu mengapa kalian tidak percaya kepadanya?’
They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
6 Dan jika kita katakan berasal dari manusia, setiap orang akan menimpuki kita dengan batu sebab mereka yakin bahwa Yohanes adalah seorang nabi.”
But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
7 Maka jawab mereka kepada Yesus, “Kami tidak tahu dari mana asal baptisan Yohanes.”
So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
8 Dan Yesus menjawab mereka, “Jika demikian, Aku juga tidak akan mengatakan dengan otoritas siapa Aku melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan ajaib.”
Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
9 Lalu Yesus mulai menceritakan sebuah kisah: “Suatu ketika ada seseorang yang menanam kebun anggur, menyewakannya kepada beberapa orang petani, dan pergi tinggal di negara lain untuk sementara waktu.
Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
10 Ketika tiba waktunya memanen, dia mengirim pekerjanya kepada para petani sewaan itu untuk mengambil hasil panen yang menjadi bagiannya, tetapi para petani itu memukuli pekerjanya dan mengirimnya pulang dengan tangan kosong.
When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
11 Maka si pemilik kebun mengirim pekerja yang lain, tetapi pekerja inipun mereka pukuli juga dan mempermalukan dia, lalu mengirimnya pulang dengan tangan kosong.
[Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
12 Lalu dikirimnya pekerja yang ketiga, tetapi mereka melukainya dan melemparkannya keluar.”
[Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
13 “Pemilik kebun itu berpikir, ‘Apa yang harus aku lakukan? Aku tahu, aku akan mengirimkan anak yang sangat aku sayangi, karena berpikir, mereka tentu akan menghormati anakku.’
So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
14 Namun ketika para penyewa kebun itu melihat anak pemilik kebun yang datang, mereka berkata, ‘Ini si pewaris kebun ini. Mari kita bunuh dia! Dengan demikian kebun ini akan menjadi warisan kita.’
[So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
15 Mereka lalu melemparkan anak itu keluar kebun anggur dan membunuhnya. Sekarang apa yang akan dilakukan oleh si pemilik kebuh kepada para penyewa ini?
So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
16 Pastilah si pemilik ini akan datang dan membunuh para penyewa kebun anggurnya dan memberikannya kepada para penyewa lainnya.” Ketika mereka mendengar cerita ini, berkatalah mereka, “Semoga hal ini tidak pernah terjadi!”
He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
17 Tetapi Yesus menatap mereka dan berkata, “Lalu mengapa tertulis dalam Kitab Suci, ‘Batu yang sudah ditolak oleh tukang bangunan sekarang menjadi batu penjuru’?
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
18 Dan siapapun yang jatuh ke atas batu itu akan jatuh berkeping-keping, dan ke atas siapa batu itu jatuh, maka orang itu akan hancur.”
[That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
19 Segera sesudah para pengajar agama dan para imam kepala mendengar kisah itu, mereka ingin segera menangkap Yesus, sebab mereka menyadari bahwa kisah yang Yesus ceritakan tertuju kepada mereka, tetapi mereka takut kepada orang banyak itu.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
20 Mereka menunggu kesempatan yang tepat untuk menangkap Yesus dengan mengirimkan mata-mata yang berpura-pura menjadi orang yang tulus. Mereka mencoba melawan Yesus dengan memakai perkataan-Nya sendiri agar mereka bisa menyerahkan Dia ke tangan kuasa dan otoritas gubernur setempat.
So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
21 Kata mereka, “Guru, kami tahu bahwa Engkau selalu berkata tentang kebenaran dan mengajarkan pengajaran yang benar, dan Engkau tidak terombang-ambingkan dengan pendapat orang lain. Engkau sungguh-sungguh mengajar tentang jalan Allah.
[So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
22 Haruskah kami membayar pajak kepada Kaisar?”
[So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
23 Tetapi Yesus melihat dengan jelas rancangan jahat mereka, dan berkata,
But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
24 “Tunjukkan kepada-Ku uang logam yang kalian pakai untuk membayar pajak. Gambar dan ukiran wajah siapa yang ada pada koin ini?” “Kaisar,” jawab mereka.
“Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
25 “Kalau begitu berikanlah kepada Kaisar segala yang memang hak Kaisar, dan berikanlah kepada Allah segala yang adalah hak Allah,” kata-Nya kepada mereka.
He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
26 Mereka tidak dapat menjerat Dia dengan apa yang Dia sampaikan kepada orang-orang. Mereka tertegun mendengar jawaban-Nya, dan terdiam.
While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
27 Lalu datanglah beberapa orang Saduki, kelompok orang yang menolak adanya kebangkitan sesudah kematian, kepada Yesus dengan pertanyaan:
Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
28 “Guru,” kata mereka, “Musa memberikan kami sebuah perintah bahwa jika seorang laki-laki menikah lalu meninggalkan istrinya tanpa anak, maka saudara laki-laki itu harus menikahi janda yang ditinggalkan dan memberikan keturunan untuk kakaknya yang sudah meninggal.
They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
29 Bagaimana jika ada tujuh orang bersaudara. Yang sulung menikah, dan kemudian meninggal tanpa memiliki keturunan.
Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
30 Yang kedua
The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
31 dan yang ketiga juga menikahi janda yang pertama. Pada akhirnya ketujuh kakak beradik itu menikahi si perempuan, dan kemudian meninggal tanpa memiliki anak.
Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
32 Akhirnya yang perempuan meninggal juga.
Afterwards, the woman died, too.
33 Jika seperti ini, perempuan itu akan menjadi istri siapa pada masa kebangkitan, sebab semua laki-laki itu menikahi dia?”
Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
34 “Di masa ini, orang-orang memang menikah dan dinikahkan,” Yesus menjelaskan kepada mereka. (aiōn g165)
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
35 “Tetapi mereka yang dianggap layak untuk berbagi di masa yang akan datang dan di masa kebangkitan tidaklah menikah ataupun dinikahkan. (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
36 Mereka tidak lagi bisa mati, mereka seperti malaikat dan menjadi anak-anak Allah sebab mereka adalah orang-orang yang dibangkitkan.
[You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
37 Tetapi pertanyaan tentang kebangkitan dari kematian, bahkan Musa membuktikan ini ketika dia menulis tentang semak yang terbakar, ketika dia menyebut Tuhan sebagai ‘Allah Abraham, Allah Isak, dan Allah Yakub.’
But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
38 Dia bukanlah Allah orang mati, melainkan Allah orang hidup, sebab bagi Dia mereka semua masih tetap hidup.”
It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
39 Beberapa pengajar agama menjawab, “Itu jawaban yang bagus, Guru.”
Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
40 Sesudah itu tidak seorangpun berani bertanya lagi padanya.
After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
41 Lalu bertanyalah Yesus kepada mereka, “Mengapa dikatakan bahwa Kristus itu keturunan Daud?
Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
42 Sebab Daud sendiri berkata dalam kitab Mazmur: ‘Tuhan berkata kepada Tuanku: Duduklah di sebelah kanan-Ku
Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
43 sampai Aku menempatkan semua musuh-Mu di bawah kaki-Mu.’
[Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
44 Daud menyebut-Nya ‘Tuan,’ jadi bagaimana bisa Dia menjadi keturunannya Daud?”
King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
45 Sementara banyak orang masih memperhatikan, berkatalah Yesus kepada murid-murid-Nya,
While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
46 “Berhati-hatilah kepada para pengajar hukum taurat yang suka berkeliling dengan memakai jubah yang panjang, dan suka dihormati di pasar-pasar, dan suka duduk di tempat yang terhormat di rumah-rumah ibadah dan pesta-pesta.
“Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
47 Mereka menipu janda dari apa yang mereka miliki, dan menutupi orang seperti apa mereka sebenarnya dengan doa yang bertele-tele. Mereka akan menerima hukuman yang berat pada hari penghakiman nanti.”
They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
