1. Jesus Visits Martha and Mary
As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way
to Jerusalem, they came to a village where a
woman named Martha welcomed him into her
home.
Yesus mengunjungi Marta dan Maria
Yesus dan pengikut-pengikut-Nya meneruskan
perjalanan, lalu tiba di sebuah desa. Di situ seorang
wanita, bernama Marta, mengundang Dia ke
rumahnya.
2. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet,
listening to what he taught. But Martha was
distracted by the big dinner she was
preparing.
Marta mempunyai saudara perempuan bernama Maria.
Maria ini duduk dekat Tuhan Yesus mendengarkan ajaran-
ajaran-Nya. Tetapi Marta sibuk sekali dengan pekerjaan
rumah tangganya.
3. Martha came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it
seem unfair to you that Mary sits here while I
do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”
Marta pergi kepada Yesus dan berkata, “Tuhan,
apakah Tuhan tidak peduli Maria membiarkan saya
bekerja sendirian saja? Suruhlah dia menolong saya!”
4. But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are
worried and upset over all these details! There is only
one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has
discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
“Marta, Marta!” jawab Yesus. “Engkau khawatir
dan sibuk memikirkan ini dan itu; padahal yang
penting hanya satu. Dan Maria sudah memilih
yang baik, yang tidak akan diambil dari dia.”
