Acts 21
1 When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Sesudah perpisahan yang berat itu bertolaklah kami dan langsung berlayar menuju Kos. Keesokan harinya sampailah kami di Rodos dan dari situ kami ke Patara.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
Di Patara kami mendapat kapal, yang hendak menyeberang ke Fenisia. Kami naik kapal itu, lalu bertolak.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
Kemudian tampak Siprus di sebelah kiri, tetapi kami melewatinya dan menuju ke Siria. Akhirnya tibalah kami di Tirus, sebab muatan kapal harus dibongkar di kota itu.
4 Having found the talmidim, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Ruach, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Di situ kami mengunjungi murid-murid dan tinggal di situ tujuh hari lamanya. Oleh bisikan Roh murid-murid itu menasihati Paulus, supaya ia jangan pergi ke Yerusalem.
5 When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
Tetapi setelah lewat waktunya, kami berangkat meneruskan perjalanan kami. Murid-murid semua dengan isteri dan anak-anak mereka mengantar kami sampai ke luar kota; dan di tepi pantai kami berlutut dan berdoa.
6 we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
Sesudah minta diri kami naik ke kapal, dan mereka pulang ke rumah.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.
Dari Tirus kami tiba di Ptolemais dan di situ berakhirlah pelayaran kami. Kami memberi salam kepada saudara-saudara dan tinggal satu hari di antara mereka.
8 On the next day, we departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Pada keesokan harinya kami berangkat dari situ dan tiba di Kaisarea. Kami masuk ke rumah Filipus, pemberita Injil itu, yaitu satu dari ketujuh orang yang dipilih di Yerusalem, dan kami tinggal di rumahnya.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Filipus mempunyai empat anak dara yang beroleh karunia untuk bernubuat.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Setelah beberapa hari kami tinggal di situ, datanglah dari Yudea seorang nabi bernama Agabus.
11 Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Ruach ha-Kodesh: 'So will the Judeans in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
Ia datang pada kami, lalu mengambil ikat pinggang Paulus. Sambil mengikat kaki dan tangannya sendiri ia berkata: "Demikianlah kata Roh Kudus: Beginilah orang yang empunya ikat pinggang ini akan diikat oleh orang-orang Yahudi di Yerusalem dan diserahkan ke dalam tangan bangsa-bangsa lain."
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Mendengar itu kami bersama-sama dengan murid-murid di tempat itu meminta, supaya Paulus jangan pergi ke Yerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua."
Tetapi Paulus menjawab: "Mengapa kamu menangis dan dengan jalan demikian mau menghancurkan hatiku? Sebab aku ini rela bukan saja untuk diikat, tetapi juga untuk mati di Yerusalem oleh karena nama Tuhan Yesus."
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
Karena ia tidak mau menerima nasihat kami, kami menyerah dan berkata: "Jadilah kehendak Tuhan!"
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Sesudah beberapa hari lamanya tinggal di Kaisarea, berkemaslah kami, lalu berangkat ke Yerusalem.
16 Some of the talmidim from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early talmid, with whom we would stay.
Bersama-sama dengan kami turut juga beberapa murid dari Kaisarea. Mereka membawa kami ke rumah seorang yang bernama Manason. Ia dari Siprus dan sudah lama menjadi murid. Kami akan menumpang di rumahnya.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Ketika kami tiba di Yerusalem, semua saudara menyambut kami dengan suka hati.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to Jacob; and all the elders were present.
Pada keesokan harinya pergilah Paulus bersama-sama dengan kami mengunjungi Yakobus; semua penatua telah hadir di situ.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.
Paulus memberi salam kepada mereka, lalu menceriterakan dengan terperinci apa yang dilakukan Allah di antara bangsa-bangsa lain oleh pelayanannya.
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Judeans of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.
Mendengar itu mereka memuliakan Allah. Lalu mereka berkata kepada Paulus: "Saudara, lihatlah, beribu-ribu orang Yahudi telah menjadi percaya dan mereka semua rajin memelihara hukum Taurat.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
Tetapi mereka mendengar tentang engkau, bahwa engkau mengajar semua orang Yahudi yang tinggal di antara bangsa-bangsa lain untuk melepaskan hukum Musa, sebab engkau mengatakan, supaya mereka jangan menyunatkan anak-anaknya dan jangan hidup menurut adat istiadat kita.
22 What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
Jadi bagaimana sekarang? Tentu mereka akan mendengar, bahwa engkau telah datang ke mari.
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
Sebab itu, lakukanlah apa yang kami katakan ini: Di antara kami ada empat orang yang bernazar.
24 Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.
Bawalah mereka bersama-sama dengan engkau, lakukanlah pentahiran dirimu bersama-sama dengan mereka dan tanggunglah biaya mereka, sehingga mereka dapat mencukurkan rambutnya; maka semua orang akan tahu, bahwa segala kabar yang mereka dengar tentang engkau sama sekali tidak benar, melainkan bahwa engkau tetap memelihara hukum Taurat.
25 But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
Tetapi mengenai bangsa-bangsa lain, yang telah menjadi percaya, sudah kami tuliskan keputusan-keputusan kami, yaitu mereka harus menjauhkan diri dari makanan yang dipersembahkan kepada berhala, dari darah, dari daging binatang yang mati dicekik dan dari percabulan."
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Pada hari berikutnya Paulus membawa orang-orang itu serta dengan dia, dan ia mentahirkan diri bersama-sama dengan mereka, lalu masuk ke Bait Allah untuk memberitahukan, bilamana pentahiran akan selesai dan persembahan akan dipersembahkan untuk mereka masing-masing.
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,
Ketika masa tujuh hari itu sudah hampir berakhir, orang-orang Yahudi yang datang dari Asia, melihat Paulus di dalam Bait Allah, lalu mereka menghasut rakyat dan menangkap dia,
28 crying out, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."
sambil berteriak: "Hai orang-orang Israel, tolong! Inilah orang yang di mana-mana mengajar semua orang untuk menentang bangsa kita dan menentang hukum Taurat dan tempat ini! Dan sekarang ia membawa orang-orang Yunani pula ke dalam Bait Allah dan menajiskan tempat suci ini!"
29 For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
Sebab mereka telah melihat Trofimus dari Efesus sebelumnya bersama-sama dengan Paulus di kota, dan mereka menyangka, bahwa Paulus telah membawa dia ke dalam Bait Allah.
30 All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
Maka gemparlah seluruh kota, dan rakyat datang berkerumun, lalu menangkap Paulus dan menyeretnya keluar dari Bait Allah dan seketika itu juga semua pintu gerbang Bait Allah itu ditutup.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Sementara mereka merencanakan untuk membunuh dia, sampailah kabar kepada kepala pasukan, bahwa seluruh Yerusalem gempar.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
Kepala pasukan itu segera bergerak dengan prajurit-prajurit dan perwira-perwira dan maju mendapatkan orang banyak itu. Ketika mereka melihat dia dan prajurit-prajurit itu, berhentilah mereka memukul Paulus.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
Kepala pasukan itu mendekati Paulus, menangkapnya dan menyuruh mengikat dia dengan dua rantai, lalu bertanya siapakah dia dan apakah yang telah diperbuatnya.
34 Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Tetapi dari antara orang banyak itu ada yang meneriakkan kepadanya ini, ada pula yang meneriakkan itu. Dan oleh karena keributan itu ia tidak dapat mengetahui apakah yang sebenarnya terjadi. Sebab itu ia menyuruh membawa Paulus ke markas.
35 When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Ketika sampai ke tangga Paulus terpaksa didukung prajurit-prajurit karena berdesak-desaknya orang banyak,
36 for the crowd of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him."
yang berbondong-bondong mengikuti dia, sambil berteriak: "Enyahkanlah dia!"
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know Greek?
Ketika Paulus hendak dibawa masuk ke markas, ia berkata kepada kepala pasukan itu: "Bolehkah aku mengatakan sesuatu kepadamu?" Jawabnya: "Tahukah engkau bahasa Yunani?
38 Are you not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
Jadi engkau bukan orang Mesir itu, yang baru-baru ini menimbulkan pemberontakan dan melarikan empat ribu orang pengacau bersenjata ke padang gurun?"
39 But Paul said, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."
Paulus menjawab: "Aku adalah orang Yahudi, dari Tarsus, warga dari kota yang terkenal di Kilikia; aku minta, supaya aku diperbolehkan berbicara kepada orang banyak itu."
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Sesudah Paulus diperbolehkan oleh kepala pasukan, pergilah ia berdiri di tangga dan memberi isyarat dengan tangannya kepada rakyat itu; ketika suasana sudah tenang, mulailah ia berbicara kepada mereka dalam bahasa Ibrani, katanya:
