Acts 13
1 Among [the people in] the congregation at Antioch there were (prophets/those who spoke messages from God) and those who taught [people about Jesus. They were] Barnabas; Simeon, who was also called Niger/Blackman; Lucius, from Cyrene [city]; Manaen, who had grown up with [King] Herod [Antipas]; and Saul.
Pada waktu itu ada beberapa orang di gereja di Antiokia yang memiliki karunia bernubuat dan mengajar, yaitu: Barnabas, Simeon Niger, Lucius dari Kirene, Manaen (teman masa kecil Herodes sang raja wilayah), dan Saulus.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said [to them], “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to [serve] me and to [go and do] the work that I have chosen them [to do]!”
Sementara mereka menyembah Tuhan dan berpuasa, Roh Kudus berkata, “Khususkanlah Barnabas dan Saulus untuk melakukan pekerjaan yang sudah Aku rencanakan bagi mereka.”
3 So they continued (to fast/to abstain from eating food) and pray. Then having put their hands on Barnabas and Saul and [praying that God would help them], they sent them off [to do what the Holy Spirit had commanded].
Sesudah mereka berpuasa, berdoa, dan meletakkan tangan ke atas Barnabas dan Saulus sebagai tanda berkat, mereka mengirim keduanya untuk melakukan tugas yang Tuhan sudah tetapkan.
4 Barnabas and Saul, guided by the Holy Spirit, went down [from Antioch] to Seleucia [port]. From there they went by ship to Salamis [port on Cyprus Island].
Jadi Barnabas dan Saulus, dipimpin oleh Roh Kudus, pergi ke Seleukia. Dari sana mereka berlayar ke Siprus.
5 While they were in Salamis, [they went] to the Jewish meeting places. There they proclaimed the message from God [about Jesus]. John [Mark went with them and] was helping them.
Setibanya di Salamis, mereka memberitakan Firman Allah di rumah-rumah ibadah orang Yahudi. Yohanes Markus ikut bersama mereka sebagai asisten.
6 [The three of] them went across the entire island to Paphos [city]. There they met a magician whose name was Bar-Jesus. He was a Jew who falsely [claimed] (to be a prophet/to speak messages from God).
Mereka melakukan perjalanan ke seluruh pulau dan akhirnya sampai ke Pafos. Di sana mereka menemukan seorang tukang sihir Yahudi, seorang nabi palsu bernama Bar-yesus.
7 He often accompanied the governor [of the island], Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor sent [someone] to ask Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear God’s message. [So Barnabas and Saul came and told him about Jesus].
Ia dekat dengan gubernur, Sergius Paulus, seorang yang cerdas. Sergius Paulus mengundang Barnabas dan Saulus untuk datang mengunjunginya karena dia ingin mendengar Firman Allah.
8 However, the magician, whose name was Elymas [in the Greek language], was opposing them. He repeatedly tried to persuade the governor not to believe [in Jesus].
Tetapi tukang sihir Elimas (nama Yunaninya) menentang mereka, berusaha mencegah gubernur percaya kepada Allah.
9 Then Saul, who now called himself Paul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, looked intently at the magician and said,
Saulus, yang juga dipanggil Paulus, dipenuhi dengan Roh Kudus, dan menatap lurus ke arah Elimas.
10 “You [(sg)] are serving the devil and you oppose everything that is good! You are always lying [to people] and doing [other] evil things to them. (You must stop saying that the truth about the Lord [God is a lot of lies!]/When will you stop changing what is true about the Lord [God and saying] what is not true about him?) [RHQ]
“Kamu penuh tipu daya dan segala macam kejahatan, hai anak iblis, hai musuh semua yang benar! Berhentilah memutar balikkan jalan Tuhan!
11 Right now the Lord [God] [MTY] is going to punish you! You will become blind and not [even] be able to see light for [some] time.” At once he became [blind, as though he was] in a dark mist, and he groped about, searching for someone [to hold him by the] hand and lead him.
Lihatlah, tangan Tuhan turun atasmu dan kamu akan menjadi buta. Kamu tidak akan melihat matahari untuk sementara.” Tiba-tiba ada yang serupa dengan kabut dan kegelapan menimpanya, dan dia harus menemukan seseorang yang bisa menuntun tangannya.
12 When the governor saw what had happened [to Elymas], he believed [in the Lord Jesus]. He was amazed by [what Paul and Barnabas] were teaching about the Lord [Jesus].
Ketika gubernur melihat apa yang terjadi, dia menjadi percaya kepada Allah, dan kagum pada ajaran tentang Tuhan.
13 [After that], Paul and the two men with him went by ship from Paphos to Perga [port] in Pamphylia [province. At Perga] John [Mark] left them and returned to [his home in] Jerusalem.
Kemudian Paulus dan orang-orang yang bersamanya berlayar dari Pafos menuju ke Perga di Pamfilia, sedangkan Yohanes Markus meninggalkan mereka dan kembali ke Yerusalem.
14 Then Paul and Barnabas traveled [by land] from Perga, and arrived in Antioch [city] near Pisidia [district in Galatia province]. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.
Mereka melewati Perga dan terus ke Antiokia di Pisidia. Pada hari Sabat mereka pergi ke rumah-rumah ibadah dan duduk.
15 [Someone] read [aloud] from what [Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other] prophets [had written] [MTY]. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave [someone this] note [to take] to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if [one of] you wants to speak to the people [here] to encourage them, please speak [to us(exc) now].”
Sesudah pembacaan dari Hukum Taurat dan Kitab Para Nabi, para pemimpin rumah ibadah mengirimi mereka pesan yang mengatakan, “Saudara-saudara, silakan berbagi dengan jemaat kata-kata yang bisa menguatkan kami di sini.”
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand [so that the people would listen to him]. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you [non-Jewish people] who [also] worship God, [please] listen [to me]!
Paulus berdiri, memberi isyarat dengan tangannya untuk menarik perhatian mereka, dan mulai berbicara. “Orang-orang Israel, dan kalian semua yang menghormati Allah, dengarkan aku.
17 God, whom we [(inc)] Israelis worship, chose our ancestors [to be his people], and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. [Then after many years], God helped them [MTY] powerfully and led them out of there.
Allah orang Israel memilih nenek moyang kita, dan memberikan kemakmuran kepada mereka selama tinggal di tanah Mesir. Kemudian dengan kekuatannya yang besar Dia memimpin mereka keluar dari Mesir,
18 [Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he] cared for them for about 40 years [while they were] in the desert.
dan dengan sabar Dia menangani mereka di padang gurun selama kira-kira empat puluh tahun.
19 He [enabled the Israelis] to conquer seven tribal groups [who were then living] in Canaan [region], and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.
Sesudah Dia menggulingkan tujuh bangsa yang tinggal di tanah Kanaan, Allah membagi tanah mereka di antara orang Israel dan memberistiwa ini memakan waktu sekitar empat ratus lima puluh tahun.
20 [Our ancestors began to possess Canaan] about 450 years after [their ancestors had arrived in Egypt].” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders [to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people] until the time when the prophet Samuel [ruled them].
Kemudian Dia menyediakan mereka hakim-hakin sebagai pemimpin sampai zaman nabi Samuel.
21 Then, [while Samuel was still their leader], the people demanded that he [appoint] a king [to rule them. So] God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, [to be their king]. He [ruled them] for 40 years.
Lalu bangsa Israel meminta supaya mereka dipimpin oleh seorang raja, dan Allah memberi mereka Saul, anak laki-laki Kish dari suku Benyamin, yang memerintah atas Israel selama empat puluh tahun.
22 After God had rejected Saul [from being king], he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire [IDM]. He will do [everything that] I want [him to do].’”
Kemudian Allah menyingkirkan Saul, dan menjadikan Daud raja mereka. Allah mengakui Daud, dengan mengatakan ‘Aku mendapati Daud anak Isai sebagai seorang yang sangat memahami Aku; dia akan melakukan semua yang Aku inginkan.’
23 “From [among] David’s descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to [us] Israeli people to save us, just like he had told [David and our other ancestors] that he would do.
Yesus adalah keturunan Daud; Dia adalah Juruselamat yang Allah janjikan untuk menyelamatkan Israel.
24 Before Jesus began his work, John [the Baptizer] preached to all of our Israeli people [who came to him. He told them] that they should turn away from their sinful behavior [and ask God to forgive them. Then he] would baptize them.
Sebelum Yesus datang, Yohanes mengumumkan baptisan pertobatan kepada semua orang Israel.
25 When John was about to finish the work [that God gave him to do], he frequently said [to the people], ‘Do you think [RHQ] that I am [the Messiah whom God promised to send]? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will [soon] come. [He is so much greater than I am that] I am not [even] important enough to be his slave [MET].’”
Sewaktu Yohanes menyelesaikan misinya, dia berkata, ‘Menurut kalian, siapakah saya ini? Saya bukan orang yang kalian cari. Tetapi sesudah aku akan datang seseorang yang sandalnya tidak layak untuk kulepaskan.’
26 “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and [you non-Jewish people who] also worship God, [please listen! It is] to [all of] us that [God] has sent the message about [how he] saves people.
Saudaraku, anak-anak Abraham dan kalian semua yang menghormati Allah: pesan keselamatan ini sudah dikirim kepada kami!
27 The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man [Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them]. Although messages from [MTY] the prophets have been read [aloud] {someone has read [aloud] messages from [MTY] the prophets} every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), they did not understand [what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So] the [Jewish leaders] condemned Jesus [to die], which was just like the prophets predicted.
Orang-orang yang tinggal di Yerusalem dan para pemimpin mereka tidak mengenali Yesus atau memahami perkataan yang diucapkan oleh para nabi yang dibacakan setiap Sabat. Nyatanya mereka menggenapi kata-kata nubuatan dengan menghukum mati dia!
28 [Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things], but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate [the governor] to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. [So Pilate did what they asked him to do].
Meskipun mereka tidak dapat menemukan bukti untuk menghukum mati Dia, mereka tetap meminta agar Pilatus melakukannya.
29 They did [to Jesus] all the things that [the prophets long ago had] written [that people would do to] him. [They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then] his body was taken {[some people took] his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.
Sesudah mereka memenuhi setiap nubuatan yang tertulis oleh para nabi terhadap Dia, mereka menurunkan Dia dari salib dan menguburkan Dia di dalam kuburan batu.
30 However, God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died)
Tetapi Allah membangkitkan dia dari antara orang mati,
31 and for many days he [repeatedly] appeared to [his followers] who had come along with him from Galilee [province] to Jerusalem. Those [who saw him] are telling the [Jewish] people about him now.”
dan selama beberapa hari Dia menampakkan diri kepada orang-orang yang sudah mengikuti dia dari Galilea ke Yerusalem. Mereka sekarang menjadi saksinya kepada orang banyak.
32 “[Right] now we [two] are proclaiming to you this good message. We want to tell you that God has fulfilled what he promised to [our Jewish] ancestors!
Kami di sini untuk membawakan kepada kalian kabar baik tentang janji yang Allah buat kepada nenek moyang kita,
33 He has now done that for us [(inc) who are] their descendants, [and also for you who are not Jews], by causing Jesus to live again. That is just like what [David] wrote in the second Psalm that [God said when he was sending his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son; Today I have shown everyone [that I really am] your Father.
bahwa Dia sekarang sudah menggenapi kepada kita, anak-anak mereka, dengan membangkitkan Yesus dari antara orang mati. Seperti yang tertulis dalam Mazmur 2: ‘Kamu adalah Putraku; hari ini Aku sudah menjadi Ayahmu.’
34 [God] has (raised [the Messiah] from the dead/caused [the Messiah] to live again after he had died) and will never let him die again. [Concerning that, God] said [to our Jewish ancestors], ‘I will surely help you, as I [promised] David [that I would do].’
Allah membangkitkan Dia dari antara orang mati, tidak akan pernah mati lagi, seperti yang Dia tunjukkan dengan mengatakan, ‘Aku akan memberimu apa yang kudus dan dapat dipercaya, seperti yang Aku janjikan kepada Daud.’
35 So [in writing] another [Psalm, David] said this [to God about the Messiah]: ‘Because I am devoted to you and always obey [you, when I die] you [(sg)] will not let my body decay.’
Sebagaimana mazmur lain berkata, ‘Engkau tidak akan membiarkan Yang Kudusmu membusuk dalam kubur.’
36 While David was living, he did what God wanted him to do. And when he died [EUP], his [body] was buried, [as] his ancestors’ [bodies had been buried], and his body decayed. [So he could not have been speaking about himself in this Psalm].
Tetapi Daud mati, sesudah dia melakukan apa yang Allah inginkan pada masa hidupnya, dan dia dikuburkan bersama leluhurnya, dan tubuhnya membusuk.
37 [Instead, he was speaking about Jesus. Jesus also died], but God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again), and [therefore] his body did not decay.”
Dia yang dibangkitkan Allah dari antara orang mati tidak mengalami pembusukan.
38 “Therefore, [my] fellow Israelis [and other friends], it is important for you to know that [we(exc)] are declaring to you [that God] can forgive you for your sins as a result of [what] Jesus [has done]. Because of [what] Jesus [has done], [God] considers that everyone who believes [in Jesus] is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {[God] has erased the record}) concerning everything that they [have done that displeased God. But] when [God] does [that for you], it is not as a result of [your obeying] the laws [that] Moses [wrote].
Saudaraku, saya ingin kalian memahami bahwa kami memberi tahu kalian bahwa melalui Orang ini dosa diampuni.
Melalui Dia setiap orang yang percaya kepada-Nya dibuat benar secara moral dari semua yang salah — dengan cara yang jika diatur dengan hukum Taurat, kalian tidak akan pernah dapat dianggap orang yang hidup dalam kebenaran.
40 Therefore be careful that [God] does not judge you [MTY], as one of the prophets said [MTY] that God would do!
Pastikan bahwa apa yang para nabi katakan tidak terjadi kepadamu:
41 [The prophet wrote that God said], You who ridicule [me], you will [certainly] be astonished [when you see what I am doing], and [then] you will be destroyed. You will be astonished because I will do something [terrible to you] while you are living. You would not believe [that I would do that] even though someone told you!”
‘Kamu yang mencemooh, lihatlah dengan takjub, dan matilah! Sebab untuk apa yang Aku lakukan dalam hidupmu adalah sesuatu yang tidak pernah kamu bisa percaya, bahkan jika seseorang mengatakan kepadamu!’”
42 After Paul [finished speaking], while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, [many of] the people there repeatedly requested that on the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [the two of them] should speak to them [again] about those things [that Paul had just told them].
Ketika mereka pergi, orang-orang memohon mereka untuk memberitahu mereka lebih lagi pada hari Sabat berikutnya.
43 After they began to leave [that meeting], many [of them] went along with Paul and Barnabas. They consisted of Jews and also of non-Jews who had accepted the things that the Jews believe. Paul and Barnabas continued talking to them, and were urging them to continue [believing the message that] God kindly [forgives people’s sins because of what Jesus did].
Sesudah pertemuan di rumah ibadah, banyak orang Yahudi dan orang yang pindah ke agama Yahudi mengikuti Paulus dan Barnabas yang berbicara dengan mereka, mendorong mereka untuk terus berpegang pada kasih karunia Allah.
44 On the next Jewish rest day, most of the [people in Antioch came to] the Jewish meeting place to hear [Paul and Barnabas] speak about the Lord [Jesus].
Pada hari Sabat berikutnya hampir seluruh kota datang untuk mendengarkan firman Allah.
45 But [the leaders of] [SYN] the Jews became extremely jealous, because they saw that large crowds of [non-Jewish people were coming to hear Paul and Barnabas. So] they began to contradict the things that Paul was saying [and also] to insult [him].
Akan tetapi, ketika orang-orang Yahudi melihat orang banyak itu, mereka menjadi sangat cemburu, menentang apa yang dikatakan Paulus dan mengutuknya.
46 Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
Jadi Paulus dan Barnabas berbicara dengan tegas, mengatakan “Kami harus mengucapkan firman Allah kepadamu terlebih dahulu. Tetapi sekarang sesudah kamu menolaknya — kamu memutuskan bahwa kamu tidak layak untuk kehidupan kekal — sekarang kami akan mengucapkan firman Allah kepada orang-orang bukan Yahudi. (aiōnios g166)
47 [We are doing that also] because the Lord [God] has commanded us [to do it]. He said to us, ‘I have appointed you [to reveal things about me] to non-Jewish people [MET] that will be [like] a light to them. [I have appointed] you to tell people everywhere [MTY] in the world [about the one who came] to save [them].’”
Itulah yang Tuhan perintahkan agar kita lakukan: ‘Aku sudah menjadikanmu terang bagi orang-orang bukan Yahudi, dan melalui kamu keselamatan akan sampai ke ujung bumi.’”
48 While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
Ketika orang-orang bukan Yahudi mendengar perkataan ini, mereka sangat gembira, memuji firman Tuhan, dan semua orang yang dipilih untuk hidup kekal percaya kepada Allah. (aiōnios g166)
49 [At that time, many of the believers] traveled around throughout that region. As they did that, they were proclaiming the message about the Lord [Jesus] [MTY].
Maka Firman Allah disebarkan ke seluruh wilayah.
50 However, [some leaders of] [SYN] the Jews incited the most important men in the city, and [some] important/influential women who had accepted what the Jews believe, to oppose [Paul and Barnabas. So those non-Jewish people] incited [other people also] to persecute Paul and Barnabas. As a result they expelled the two men from their region.
Tetapi orang-orang Yahudi menghasut para perempuan terkemuka yang menyembah Allah dan pemimpin kota untuk menganiaya Paulus dan Barnabas, dan mengusir keduanya dari wilayah mereka.
51 So, [as the two apostles were leaving, they] shook the dust from their feet [to show those Jewish leaders that God had rejected them and would punish them. They left Antioch] and went to Iconium [city].
Maka keduanya mengibaskan debu dari kaki mereka sebagai tanda peringatan, dan pergi ke Ikonium.
52 Meanwhile, the believers [in Antioch] continued to rejoice greatly, and they continued to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit.
Dan orang-orang percaya terus dipenuhi dengan sukacita dan dengan Roh Kudus.
