Acts 16
1 BUT a certain disciple was there whose name was Timotheus, the son of a certain Jihudoytha, a believer, and his father an Aramoya.
Paulus meneruskan perjalanannya ke Derbe, kemudian ke Listra. Di situ ada seorang pengikut Yesus bernama Timotius. Ibunya seorang Yahudi, yang sudah percaya kepada Yesus; tetapi bapaknya orang Yunani.
2 And all the disciples who were of Lystra and Ikonia testified concerning him.
Di antara orang-orang percaya yang tinggal di Listra dan Ikonium, Timotius terkenal sebagai orang yang baik.
3 This Paulos willed to take with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jihudoyee who were in the place; for they all knew his father that he was an Aramoya.
Paulus ingin supaya Timotius ikut dengan dia; karena itu ia menyunat Timotius. Ia melakukan itu, sebab orang-orang Yahudi di daerah itu semuanya tahu bahwa ayah Timotius seorang Yunani.
4 And when they had gone into the cities they preached and instructed them to keep those statutes which the apostles and presbyters who were in Urishlem had written.
Di tiap-tiap kota yang mereka kunjungi, mereka menyampaikan kepada orang-orang yang percaya keputusan-keputusan yang telah ditentukan oleh rasul-rasul dan pemimpin-pemimpin di Yerusalem. Mereka menasihati saudara-saudara yang sudah percaya itu supaya menuruti aturan-aturan itu.
5 So were the churches confirmed in the faith, and multiplied in number every day.
Maka jemaat-jemaat itu bertambah kuat imannya, dan setiap hari makin bertambah banyak jumlahnya.
6 But they went through the countries of Phrygia and Galatia; and the Spirit of Holiness forbad them, that they should not preach the word of Aloha in Asia.
Roh Allah tidak mengizinkan Paulus dan Silas menyebarkan perkataan Allah di provinsi Asia. Jadi perjalanan mereka dilanjutkan ke daerah Frigia dan Galatia.
7 And when they came to the region of Mysia they willed to go from thence to Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jeshu permitted them not.
Ketika tiba di perbatasan Misia, mereka coba masuk ke provinsi Bitinia, tetapi Roh Yesus melarang mereka ke sana.
8 AND when they had gone forth from Mysia they came to the region of Troas.
Jadi mereka menerusi Misia dan langsung ke Troas.
9 And in a vision of the night, Paulos saw as a certain man, a Makedonoia, who stood and besought him, saying, Come unto Makedunia and help me.
Malamnya, di Troas, Paulus melihat suatu penglihatan. Dalam penglihatan itu ia melihat seorang Makedonia berdiri di depannya sambil meminta dengan sangat supaya ia pergi ke Makedonia untuk menolong mereka.
10 But when Paulos had seen this vision, he immediately willed to go forth to Makedunia, for he understood that our Lord called us to evangelize them.
Setelah Paulus mendapat penglihatan itu, kami langsung bersiap-siap untuk pergi ke Makedonia. Sebab dengan yakin kami menarik kesimpulan bahwa Allah menyuruh kami memberitakan Kabar Baik itu kepada orang-orang di sana.
11 And we went from Troas and proceeded directly to Samuthracia, and from thence the day after we came to Neapolis the city,
Kami meninggalkan Troas dan berlayar langsung ke Samotrake, dan besoknya ke Neapolis.
12 and from thence to Philippos, which is the head of Makedunia, and is a colony. But we were in that city certain days.
Dari situ kami ke Filipi, suatu kota di distrik pertama Makedonia. Filipi adalah jajahan kerajaan Roma. Di sana kami tinggal beberapa hari.
13 And we went out on the day of shabath without the gate of the city to the bank of the river, because there was seen a house of prayer; and sitting down we discoursed with the women who assembled there.
Pada hari Sabat kami pergi ke tepi sungai di luar pintu gerbang kota, sebab kami merasa di situ ada tempat sembahyang untuk orang Yahudi. Lalu kami duduk dan bercakap-cakap dengan wanita-wanita yang berkumpul di tempat itu.
14 And a certain female, a seller of purple, who feared Aloha, her name was Lydia, of Theatira the city, (was there, ) whose heart our Lord opened, and she heard that which Paulos spake.
Seorang dari antara mereka adalah pedagang kain ungu, namanya Lidia dan berasal dari Tiatira. Ia mengasihi Allah, maka Tuhan menggerakkan hatinya supaya ia menerima apa yang Paulus ajarkan kepadanya.
15 And she was baptized, she and the sons of her house. And she besought us and said, If it be that you truly think that I have believed in our Lord, come, remain in my house; and she constrained us much.
Lidia dan seisi rumahnya dibaptis. Sesudah dibaptis ia mengundang kami. Ia berkata, "Kalau Saudara-saudara merasa saya sungguh-sungguh sudah percaya kepada Yesus, marilah menumpang di rumah saya." Lalu ia mendesak supaya kami menuruti permintaannya.
16 AND it was while we went to the house of prayer, a certain damsel met us in whom was a spirit of divination, and she had produced her lords much gain by her divination.
Pada suatu hari ketika kami sedang pergi ke tempat berdoa, kami berjumpa dengan seorang wanita; ia hamba. Wanita itu dikuasai oleh roh jahat yang dapat meramalkan kejadian-kejadian yang akan datang. Dengan meramalkan nasib orang, wanita itu memberi keuntungan yang besar kepada majikan-majikannya.
17 And she came after Paulos and after us, and cried and said, These men are the servants of Aloha the Most High, and announce to us the way of salvation.
Wanita itu terus saja mengikuti Paulus dan kami sambil berteriak-teriak, "Orang-orang ini hamba Allah Yang Mahatinggi! Mereka datang untuk memberitahukan kepada Saudara-saudara bagaimana caranya kalian dapat selamat!"
18 And this she did many days. And Paulos was indignant, and said to that spirit, I command thee in the name of Jeshu Meshiha to come out of her. And in that hour it came out.
Beberapa hari lamanya wanita itu terus-menerus berteriak begitu. Paulus hilang kesabarannya, sehingga ia menoleh lalu berkata kepada roh itu, "Atas nama Yesus Kristus saya perintahkan engkau keluar dari wanita ini!" Saat itu juga roh itu meninggalkan wanita itu.
19 And when her lords saw that the hope of their gain had gone from her, they laid hold on Paulos and Shilo and drew them to the public place, and brought them unto the prefects and to the chiefs of the city,
Ketika majikan-majikannya menyadari bahwa kesempatan mereka untuk mendapat uang sudah hilang, mereka menangkap Paulus dan Silas, lalu menyeret kedua-duanya ke alun-alun menghadap yang berwajib.
20 and said, These men are troubling our city, because they are Jihudoyee,
Mereka menghadapkan Paulus dan Silas kepada pejabat-pejabat pemerintah Roma, kemudian berkata, "Orang-orang ini orang Yahudi. Mereka mengacau di kota kita.
21 and are preaching to us those rites which it is not permitted us to receive and perform, because we are Rumoyee.
Mereka menganjurkan orang melakukan adat kebiasaan yang bertentangan dengan hukum-hukum kita, orang-orang Roma. Kita tidak dapat menerima atau menuruti adat kebiasaan itu!"
22 And a great gathering assembled against them. Then the prefects rent their vestments, and commanded to scourge them.
Orang banyak pun turut menyerang Paulus dan Silas; dan pejabat-pejabat pemerintah mencabik pakaian dari tubuh kedua rasul itu lalu menyuruh orang mencambuk mereka berdua.
23 And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the house of the bound, and commanded the keeper of the house of the bound to keep them watchfully.
Setelah mereka dicambuk dengan hebat, mereka dimasukkan ke dalam penjara. Kepala penjara disuruh menjaga mereka dengan ketat.
24 But he, having received this command, brought in and shut them in the inner house of the house of the bound, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Karena perintah itu, kepala penjara itu menahan mereka di kamar penjara yang paling dalam, dan membelenggu kaki mereka pada balok.
25 And in the dividing of the night, Paulos and Shilo prayed and glorified Aloha, and the chained-ones heard them.
Kira-kira tengah malam Paulus dan Silas sedang berdoa dan menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada Allah. Orang-orang tahanan yang lainnya pun sedang mendengarkan mereka menyanyi.
26 And suddenly there was a great trembling, and the foundations of the house of the bound trembled, and at once the doors of all were opened, and the chains of all were loosened.
Tiba-tiba terjadi gempa bumi yang hebat sekali, sampai pondasi penjara itu pun turut bergoncang. Semua pintu penjara terbuka dan rantai-rantai yang membelenggu semua orang tahanan pun terlepas.
27 And when the keeper of the house of the bound awoke, and saw that the doors of the house of the bound were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself, because he thought that the chained-ones had fled.
Kepala penjara itu terkejut bangun. Ketika ia melihat pintu-pintu penjara terbuka, ia menghunus pedangnya untuk membunuh diri karena ia menyangka orang-orang tahanan sudah lari semuanya.
28 And Paulos cried with a high voice and said to him, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Tetapi Paulus berteriak sekeras-kerasnya, "Jangan bunuh diri! Kami semua masih ada di sini!"
29 And he kindled for himself a lamp, and sprang, and came, perturbed, and fell at the feet of Paulos and of Shilo:
Kepala penjara itu meminta lampu lalu berlari ke dalam, dan dengan gemetar ia tersungkur di depan Paulus dan Silas.
30 and he brought them without, and said to them, My lords, what behoveth me to do that I may be saved?
Kemudian ia membawa mereka keluar dan berkata, "Tuan-tuan, apa harus saya lakukan supaya saya diselamatkan?"
31 And they said to him, Believe in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Paulus dan Silas menjawab, "Percayalah kepada Tuhan Yesus! Engkau akan selamat--engkau dan semua orang yang di rumahmu!"
32 And they spoke with him the words of the Lord, and with all the sons of his house.
Lalu Paulus dan Silas menerangkan perkataan Tuhan kepada kepala penjara itu dan kepada semua orang yang ada di rumahnya.
33 And in the same hour of that night, he took and washed them from their stripes, and was forthwith baptized, and all the sons of his house.
Pada tengah malam itu juga, kepala penjara itu membawa mereka lalu membersihkan luka-luka mereka. Maka ia dan semua orang yang di rumahnya langsung dibaptis.
34 And he took and brought them up into his house, and set for them the table, and exulted, he and the sons of his house, in the faith of Aloha.
Kemudian ia membawa Paulus dan Silas ke rumahnya dan menghidangkan makanan kepada mereka. Ia dan seluruh keluarganya senang sekali sebab mereka sekarang percaya kepada Allah.
35 And when it was morning the prefects sent to the bearers of rods to say to the chief of the house of the bound, Loose those men.
Besok paginya, pejabat-pejabat pemerintah Roma mengutus polisi ke penjara untuk menyampaikan perintah supaya Paulus dan Silas dilepaskan.
36 AND when the chief of the house of the bound heard, he entered and spoke that word to Paulos, that the prefects have sent that you might he dismissed; and now go forth (and) proceed in peace.
Kepala penjara itu memberitahukan hal itu kepada Paulus. Ia berkata, "Tuan-tuan, pejabat-pejabat pemerintah sudah memberi perintah untuk melepaskan Tuan-tuan. Sekarang Tuan-tuan boleh pulang. Selamat jalan!"
37 Paulos saith to him, They scourged us in the eyes of the world, (we) being innocent, (and) Roman men, and threw us into the house of the bound; and now would they bring us forth secretly? No, indeed, but they shall come and bring us out.
Tetapi Paulus berkata kepada petugas-petugas polisi itu, "Kami warga negara Roma. Tanpa diadili, kami sudah dicambuk di depan umum dan dimasukkan ke dalam penjara. Dan sekarang mereka menyuruh kami pergi dengan diam-diam? Kami tidak mau! Suruh pejabat-pejabat pemerintah itu datang sendiri ke sini melepaskan kami."
38 And the bearers of rods went and told the prefects these words which had been spoken to them. And when they heard that they were Rumoyee, they feared.
Petugas-petugas polisi itu melaporkan hal itu kepada pejabat-pejabat pemerintah Roma. Ketika pejabat-pejabat itu mendengar bahwa Paulus dan Silas warga negara Roma, mereka menjadi takut.
39 And they came to them, and besought them to come forth and depart from the city.
Lalu mereka pergi minta maaf kepada Paulus dan Silas, kemudian mengantar mereka berdua keluar dari penjara, serta meminta supaya mereka pergi dari kota itu.
40 And when they had gone forth from the house of the bound, they entered with Lydia, and there saw the brethren, and consoled them. And they went forth
Paulus dan Silas meninggalkan penjara itu lalu pergi ke rumah Lidia. Sesudah bertemu dengan orang-orang percaya di sana, dan memberi dorongan kepada mereka, Paulus dan Silas berangkat.
