< Acts 1 >

1 [Dear] Theophilus, In my first book [that I wrote for you], I wrote about many of the things that Jesus did and taught
Theophilus yang terhormat, dalam bukuku yang pertama, aku menulis tentang semua yang Yesus lakukan dan ajarkan sejak dari awal pelayanan-Nya
2 until the day on which he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven]. Before [he went to heaven], saying what the Holy Spirit [told him], he told the apostles whom he had chosen [the things that he wanted them to know].
sampai pada hari Dia naik ke surga. Hal ini terjadi ketika Dia sudah memberikan instruksi melalui Roh Kudus kepada rasul-rasul pilihan-Nya.
3 After he had suffered [and died on the cross], [he became alive again]. As he appeared to them [often] during [the next] 40 days, the apostles saw him many times. He proved to them in many ways that he was alive again. He talked [with them] about [how] God would rule [MET] [the lives of people who accepted him as their king].
Selama 40 hari sesudah kematian yang Dia alami, Dia menunjukkan diri-Nya kepada mereka, membuktikan bahwa Dia hidup dengan bukti yang meyakinkan. Dia muncul di hadapan mereka, dan memberitahu mereka tentang Kerajaan Allah.
4 [One time] while he was with them, he told them, “Do not leave Jerusalem [yet]. Instead, wait [here] until my Father sends [his Spirit] [MTY] [to you], as he promised [to do]. You have heard me speak [to you] about that.
Sementara Yesus masih bersama mereka, Dia memberi mereka perintah, “Janganlah meninggalkan Yerusalem. Tunggulah sampai kalian menerima apa yang dijanjikan oleh Bapa di surga, seperti yang kalian dengar dari pada-Ku.
5 John baptized people in water [because they said that they wanted to change their lives], but after a few days [LIT] [God] will put the Holy Spirit within you(pl) [to truly change your lives].”
Benar bahwa Yohanes membaptis kalian dengan air, tetapi dalam beberapa hari ke depan, kalian akan dibaptis oleh Roh Kudus.”
6 One day when the [apostles] met together [with Jesus], they asked him, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now become the King [MET] over [us] Israelite people [like King David, who ruled long ago]?” (OR, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now [defeat the Romans and] restore the kingdom [to us] Israelite people?”)
Jadi ketika para murid bertemu dengan Yesus, bertanyalah mereka, “Tuhan, apakah sekarang saatnya Engkau mendirikan kembali kerajaan Israel?”
7 He replied to them, “You do not [need] to know the time [periods] and days [when that will happen]. My Father alone has decided [when he will make me king].
“Kalian tidak perlu tahu tentang tanggal dan masa yang sudah ditetapkan oleh Bapa sesuai dengan otoritasnya,” kata Yesus kepada mereka.
8 But [you do need to know that] the Holy Spirit will make you [spiritually] strong when he comes to live in you. Then you will [powerfully] tell people about me in Jerusalem and in all [the other places in] Judea [district], in Samaria [district], and in places far away all over [IDM] the world.”
“Tetapi kalian akan diberikan kuasa ketika Roh Kudus turun ke atas kalian, dan kalian akan menjadi saksi-Ku di Yerusalem, di seluruh Yudea dan Samaria, dan sampai ke tempat yang paling jauh di muka bumi.”
9 After he said that, he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven], while they were watching. [He went up into] a cloud [PRS], which prevented them from seeing him [any more].
Sesudah Yesus menyampaikan semua ini kepada mereka, Dia naik ke surga sementara mereka semua memperhatikan Dia, dan ada awan yang menutupi Dia dari pandangan mereka.
10 While [the apostles] were [still] staring towards the sky as he was going up, suddenly two men who were wearing white clothes stood beside them. [They were angels].
Sementara mereka masih menatap dengan seksama ke arah langit ketika Yesus naik, dua orang yang berpakaian putih tiba-tiba berdiri di sisi mereka.
11 One [of] them said, “You men from Galilee [district], (you do not need to stand [here any longer] looking up at the sky!/why do you still stand [here] looking up at the sky?) [RHQ] [Some day] this same Jesus, whom [God] took from you up to heaven, will come back [to earth]. He will return in the same manner as you [just now] saw him when he went up to heaven, [but he will not return now].”
“Hai orang-orang Galilea, mengapa kalian berdiri di sini sambil menatap langit?” tanya mereka. “Yesus yang sama yang naik ke surga akan datang dengan cara yang sama kalian melihat Dia naik.”
12 Then [after the two angels left], the apostles returned to Jerusalem from Olive [Tree] Hill, which was about (a half mile/one kilometer) [MTY] from Jerusalem.
Lalu para murid kembali ke Yerusalem dari Bukit Zaitun yang jaraknya kira-kira satu kilometer dari kota itu.
13 When they entered [the city], they went upstairs to the room [in the house] where they were staying. [Those who were there included] Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, [another] James [the son] of Alphaeus, Simon who belonged to the group that wanted to expel the Romans, and Judas [the son] of [another man named] James.
Ketika mereka tiba, naiklah mereka ke ruangan atas tempat mereka tinggal: Petrus, Yohanes, Yakobus dan Andreas, Filipus dan Tomas, Bartolomeus dan Matius, Yakobus anak Alfeus, Simon orang Zelot, serta Yudas anak Yakobus.
14 All these apostles agreed concerning the things about which they continually were praying [together. Others who prayed with them] included the women [who had accompanied Jesus], Mary who was Jesus’ mother, and his [younger] brothers.
Mereka semua bersatu dalam doa, bersama dengan para perempuan, dan juga Maria, ibu Yesus, beserta dengan saudara-saudara-Nya.
15 During those days Peter stood up among his fellow believers. There were [at that place] a group of about 120 of [Jesus’ followers]. Peter said,
Pada waktu ini, Petrus berdiri dan menyapa sekitar 120 orang percaya yang sedang berkumpul bersama.
16 “My fellow believers, [there are words that King] David wrote [MTY] in the Scriptures long ago that needed to be fulfilled {to happen [as he said they would]}. The Holy Spirit, [who knew that Judas would be the one who would fulfill those words], told David what to write.
“Saudara dan saudariku,” katanya, “Kitab Suci, yang dikatakan oleh Roh Kudus melalui Daud, sudah tergenapi mengenai Yudas, yang memimpin mereka untuk menangkap Yesus.
17 [Although] Judas had been chosen {[Jesus] had chosen Judas}, along with [the rest of] us [(exc)] to serve [as an apostle], Judas was the person who led to Jesus the people who seized him.”
Dia tadinya terhitung sebagai salah satu di antara kami, dan berbagi dalam pelayanan ini.”
18 [The Jewish leaders] gave Judas money when he [promised to] treacherously/wickedly [betray Jesus. Later Judas returned that money to them]. When Judas [hanged himself], his body fell down [to the ground]. His abdomen burst open, and all his intestines spilled out. [So] the [Jewish leaders] bought a field [using] that money.
(Yudas membeli sebidang tanah dari uang kejatahannya. Di tempat itu dia terjatuh dengan kepala terlebih dahulu, dan seluruh tubuhnya terbelah, sehingga isi perutnya tertumpah keluar.
19 All the people who reside in Jerusalem heard [about that], so they called that field in their own [Aramaic] language, Akeldama, which means ‘Field of Blood’, [because it was where someone bled and died].
Setiap orang yang hidup di Yerusalem mendengar tentang hal ini sehingga tanah itu dinamakan “Akeldama,” yang berarti, “Tanah darah.”)
20 [Peter also said], “[I perceive that what happened to Judas is like what the writer of] Psalms [desired to happen]: ‘May his house become deserted, and may there be no one to live in it.’ (OR, ‘[Judge him, Lord, so that neither he nor] anyone [else] may live in his house!)’ And it seems that [these other words that David wrote also refer to Judas: ] ‘Let someone else take over his work as a leader.’”
Seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab Mazmur, “Biarlah rumahnya ditinggalkan, dan tidak seorangpun yang hidup di sana,” dan “Biarlah orang lain yang akan mengambil posisinya.”
21 “So it is necessary [for us apostles] to choose a man [to replace Judas. He must be one who] accompanied [MTY] us all the time when the Lord Jesus was with us.
“Jadi sekarang kita harus memilih seseorang di antara kita yang sudah bersama-sama dengan kita sepanjang waktu ketika Yesus sudah bersama dengan kita,
22 [That would be] from [the time when] John [the Baptizer] baptized [Jesus] until the day when Jesus was taken {when [God] took Jesus} from us up [to heaven]. He must be one who saw Jesus alive again [after he died].”
mulai dari ketika Yohanes membaptis sampai pada hari Yesus naik ke surga dari kita. Salah seorang dari mereka ini haruslah dipilih untuk bersama-sama dengan kami sebagai saksi, memberi bukti akan kebangkitan Yesus.”
23 So the [apostles and other believers] suggested [the names of two men who qualified. One man was] Joseph, who was called {whom people called} Barsabbas (OR, Joseph Barsabbas) who [also] had the [Roman] name Justus. The other man was Matthias.
Akhirnya terpilihlah dua nama: Yusuf Yustus, atau Barsabas, dan Matias.
24 Then they prayed like this: “Lord [Jesus], Judas stopped being an apostle. [He died and] went to the place where he [deserved to be] [EUP]. [So we(exc) need to choose someone] to replace [Judas in order] that he can serve [you(sg) by becoming] an apostle. You [(sg)] know what everyone is really like. So [please] show us which of these two men you have chosen.”
Mereka semua berdoa bersama, “Tuhan, Engkau tahu pikiran setiap kami, tolong tunjukkan siapa dari antara kedua orang ini yang Engkau pilih
untuk menggantikan posisi Yudas sebagai salah seorang rasul dalam pelayanan ini, yang sudah ditinggalkannya untuk pergi ke tempat yang sepantasnya untuk dia.”
26 Then they cast lots [to choose between the two of] them, and the lot fell for Matthias. (OR, Then [one of] the [apostles] shook [in a container] small objects/stones [that] they [had marked to determine which man God had chosen]. And the small object/stone [that they had marked] for Matthias fell [out of the container]). So Matthias was considered {they considered Matthias} [to be an apostle] along with the [other] eleven apostles.
Mereka lalu membuang undi, dan Matias yang terpilih. Dia terhitung sebagai salah satu rasul bersama dengan kesebelas rasul lainnya.
