Lukas 21
1 Ketika Yesus berada di teras rumah Allah, Dia memperhatikan orang-orang kaya yang 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 Dia juga memperhatikan seorang janda miskin memasukkan dua keping koin yang nilainya paling kecil.
He also saw a poor widow putting in two [small] copper coins.
3 Lalu Yesus berkata, “Sesungguhnya persembahan janda miskin ini lebih besar nilainya daripada persembahan semua orang 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 Karena semua orang itu memberikan kepada Allah hanya sebagian kecil dari kelebihan harta mereka, sedangkan janda yang sangat miskin ini memberikan semua uang yang dia punya, yaitu seluruh biaya hidupnya.”
5 Pada waktu itu, Yesus mendengar beberapa orang sedang membicarakan kompleks rumah Allah. Mereka mengagumi batu-batu bangunan yang indah dan barang-barang persembahan yang menghiasi bangunan itu.
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 Lalu Yesus berkata, “Akan tiba waktunya semua yang kalian lihat ini diruntuhkan sampai rata dengan tanah, bahkan sampai tidak ada satu batu pun yang masih tersusun di atas batu yang lain.”
“[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 Lalu mereka bertanya kepada-Nya, “Guru, kapan bencana itu akan terjadi? Dan apa tandanya kalau hal-hal itu akan segera 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 menjawab, “Hendaklah kalian berjaga-jaga supaya tidak tertipu! Karena banyak orang akan muncul dan mengaku, ‘Akulah Kristus yang kalian nanti-nantikan itu. Akhir zaman akan segera terjadi!’ Janganlah kalian menjadi pengikut 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 Dan waktu kalian mendengar berbagai berita tentang perang dan kerusuhan, janganlah takut. Allah memang sudah menentukan bahwa semua itu harus terjadi lebih dahulu, tetapi saat hal itu terjadi, janganlah berpikir, ‘Akhir zaman sudah tiba.’”
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 Kata Yesus lagi, “Akan terjadi perang antar suku dan antar negara.
Then he said to them, “[Groups in various] countries will fight each other, and [various] governments [will also fight] against each other.
11 Di berbagai wilayah juga akan terjadi gempa bumi, bencana kelaparan, dan wabah penyakit. Bencana-bencana yang hebat dan tanda-tanda yang dahsyat akan terjadi 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, orang-orang akan menangkap dan menganiaya kalian. Kamu akan diadili di rumah-rumah pertemuan orang Yahudi, dan ada yang akan dipenjarakan. Kamu juga akan diseret untuk diperhadapkan kepada raja-raja dan para penguasa karena memberitakan tentang Aku.
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 Hal itu merupakan kesempatan bagimu untuk bersaksi tentang Aku kepada mereka.
That will be a time for you to tell [them about me].
14 Oleh karena itu, sebelum kamu diadili, janganlah kuatir memikirkan jawaban yang akan kamu beri.
So determine within yourselves not to be worrying before that happens what you will say to defend yourselves,
15 Sebab Aku sendiri yang akan memampukan kamu untuk berbicara dengan kata-kata yang bijak, sehingga musuh-musuhmu tidak bisa menentang atau membantah yang kamu 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 Bahkan orangtua, saudara-saudari, keluarga, dan teman-temanmu sendiri akan mengkhianati kamu. Mereka akan menyerahkan sebagian dari kalian untuk dibunuh.
[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 Dan banyak sekali orang yang akan membencimu karena kamu percaya kepada-Ku.
[In general], most people will [HYP] hate you because [you believe in] me [MTY].
18 Tetapi jangan takut. Biarpun mereka bisa membunuh tubuhmu, sebenarnya mereka tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa kepada kalian. Bahkan sehelai rambutmu pun tidak akan ada yang hilang!
But your souls will be absolutely safe [IDM].
19 Dengan tetap bertahan dalam kesusahan itu, kamu akan memperoleh hidup yang kekal.
By enduring [all these things people will do to you], you will preserve your [eternal] life [SYN].”
20 “Waktu kalian melihat Yerusalem dikepung oleh para tentara, ketahuilah bahwa sudah tiba waktunya kota itu dihancurkan.
“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 Saat bencana itu terjadi, kalian yang masih di provinsi Yudea harus melarikan diri ke gunung-gunung. Yang berada di dalam kota Yerusalem harus segera keluar. Dan yang ada di luar kota janganlah masuk kembali.
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 Karena itulah saatnya Allah menghukum kejahatan bangsa ini, supaya semua yang sudah ditulis oleh para nabi dipenuhi.
[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 Pada waktu bencana itu terjadi, sungguh kasihan ibu-ibu yang sedang hamil atau menyusui, karena mereka akan kesulitan melarikan diri. Kesusahan besar akan menimpa seluruh penduduk negeri ini, karena TUHAN akan menunjukkan murka-Nya terhadap 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 Banyak yang akan dibunuh dengan pedang, dan banyak juga yang dibawa sebagai tawanan ke segala negeri. Lalu bangsa-bangsa lain itu akan menguasai Yerusalem sampai berakhirnya waktu yang sudah ditentukan TUHAN bagi 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 “Akan terjadi berbagai tanda berupa keanehan pada matahari, bulan, dan bintang-bintang. Semua bangsa di dunia ini akan takut dan gelisah menghadapi gelora ombak laut yang dahsyat.
“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 Orang-orang akan sangat ketakutan, karena berbagai bencana yang mengerikan itu membuat mereka kuatir tentang bencana-bencana lain yang pasti menyusul. Mereka akan menyadari bahwa semua roh penguasa kegelapan di langit sedang dijatuhkan.
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 Kemudian manusia di dunia akan melihat Aku datang di antara awan dengan penuh kuasa dan dengan sinar kemuliaan yang sangat terang.
Then they will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming in a cloud powerfully and very gloriously.
28 Pada waktu hal-hal itu mulai terjadi, bangkitlah dan kuatkanlah hatimu, karena Allah akan segera menyelamatkan kalian!”
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 Kemudian Yesus memberikan kiasan ini, “Perhatikanlah pohon ara atau pohon apa saja.
[Then] Jesus told his disciples this parable: “Think about the fig tree, and all the [other] trees.
30 Ketika kamu melihat pohon-pohon itu mulai bertunas, kamu sendiri tahu bahwa musim panas sudah dekat.
As soon as you see their leaves beginning to sprout, you know that summer is near.
31 Begitu juga, kalau kamu melihat tanda-tanda itu terjadi, ketahuilah bahwa sudah dekat waktunya Allah mendirikan kerajaan-Nya di dunia ini.
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 “Aku menegaskan kepadamu: Semua tanda itu akan segera terjadi waktu sebagian orang zaman ini masih hidup untuk mengalaminya.
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 tidak akan tetap ada, tetapi perkataan-Ku tetap berlaku untuk 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 “Berhati-hatilah! Jangan sampai kamu hanyut dalam kesenangan duniawi lalu hidup sembarangan, misalnya dengan berpesta pora dan mabuk-mabukan. Juga jangan sampai kamu sibuk mengkuatirkan kehidupan di dunia ini. Kedua hal itu membuat kamu lupa berjaga-jaga menantikan kedatangan-Ku, sehingga kamu tidak siap ketika waktunya 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 Karena hari terakhir itu akan menimpa semua orang di bumi dengan tiba-tiba, seperti perangkap yang menangkap semua orang tanpa diduga.
[You need to know that my return will surprise] everyone all over the earth.
36 Jadi tetaplah berjaga-jaga! Dan berdoalah selalu, supaya kamu dianggap layak untuk diselamatkan dari semua bencana yang akan terjadi itu, sehingga kamu bisa menyambut kedatangan-Ku dengan bersukacita dan tanpa malu.”
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 Sepanjang minggu itu, setiap hari Yesus mengajar di teras rumah Allah, dan malam harinya Dia pergi bermalam di Bukit Zaitun.
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 Lalu pagi-pagi sekali orang banyak sudah berkumpul di teras rumah Allah untuk mendengarkan ajaran-Nya.
Early [each] morning many people came to the Temple [courtyard] to listen to him.
