Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Petrus dan Yohanes sedang dalam perjalanan menuju ke rumah Tuhan untuk berdoa pada pukul 3 sore.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Seorang yang lumpuh sejak lahir sedang dibawa ke sana. Setiap hari dia diletakkan di samping pintu gerbang rumah Tuhan yang dinamakan Gerbang “Indah” agar dia bisa mengemis dari orang-orang yang akan pergi ke rumah Tuhan.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Lalu orang itu melihat Petrus dan Yohanes yang akan masuk ke dalam rumah Tuhan dan meminta sedekah dari mereka.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Petrus dan Yohanes menatap orang itu. “Lihat kami!” kata Petrus.
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Si orang lumpuh itu memberikan mereka perhatian penuh, berharap agar ia menerima sesuatu dari mereka.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
“Aku tidak punya uang perak ataupun emas,” kata Petrus kepadanya, “tetapi aku akan memberikan kepadamu apa yang aku punya. Dalam nama Yesus Kristus orang Nazaret itu, berjalanlah!”
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Petrus mengambil tangan kanan si pengemis itu dan menolong dia berdiri. Dengan segera kaki dan tumitnya menjadi kuat.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Si pengemis itu melompat, dan mulai berjalan. Dia masuk ke dalam rumah Tuhan bersama mereka, berjalan dan melompat dan memuji Allah.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Setiap orang yang di sana melihat dia berjalan berkeliling dan memuji Allah.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Mereka mengenali dia sebagai pengemis yang biasa duduk di Pintu Gerbang Indah rumah Tuhan, dan mereka terkejut dan heran dengan apa yang sudah terjadi padanya.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Orang itu terus mengikuti Petrus dan Yohanes sementara setiap orang lari menghampiri mereka di dalam teras yang disebut Serambi Salomo dengan penuh kekaguman dengan apa yang sudah terjadi.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Ketika Petrus melihat kesempatan untuk dia berbicara, berkatalah dia kepada orang banyak itu, “Hai orang Israel, mengapa kalian terkejut dengan apa yang sudah terjadi pada orang ini? Mengapa kalian menatap kami seakan-akan karena kuasa kami atau iman yang membuat kami bisa membuat dia berjalan?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Allah Abraham, Isak dan Yakub — Allah nenek moyang kita — sudah meninggikan Yesus, hamba-Nya. Dialah yang kalian khianati dan kalian tolak di hadapan Pilatus, bahkan sesudah Pilatus memutuskan untuk melepaskan dia.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Kalian sudah menolak Dia yang Kudus dan Benar, dan menuntut agar seorang pembunuh dibebaskan untuk kalian.
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
Kalian sudah membunuh Penulis kehidupan, yang Allah bangkitkan dari antara orang mati — dan kami adalah saksi dari semua ini.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Dengan mempercayai nama Yesus, laki-laki ini disembuhkan oleh-Nya. Kalian lihat laki-laki itu di sini, kalian mengenal dia. Melalui rasa percaya kepada Yesus, orang ini menerima kesembuhan total tepat di hadapan kalian semua.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Sekarang aku tahu, saudara dan saudariku, kalian melakukan hal ini oleh karena ketidak tahuan kalian, sama seperti pemimpin kalian.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Tetapi Allah menggenapi apa yang sudah Dia nubuatkan melalui semua nabi: yaitu bahwa Mesias akan menderita.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Sekarang bertobatlah, dan ubahkan cara hidupmu, agar dosa-dosa kalian bisa dihapuskan, agar Tuhan dapat memberikan kesempatan bagi kalian untuk disembuhkan dan dipulihkan,
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
dan mengirim Yesus, sang Mesias yang dipilih Allah bagi kalian.
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Sebab Dia harus tetap di surga sampai tiba waktunya segala sesuatunya kembali seperti semula, seperti Allah nyatakan melalui nabi-nabinya yang kudus sejak jaman dulu. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Musa berkata, ‘Tuhan Allah akan mengirimkan kepada kalian seorang nabi dari antara bangsa kita sendiri yang seperti diriku. Kalian haruslah mendengarkan segala yang Dia katakan kepada kalian.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Siapa saja yang tidak mendengarkan Dia akan benar-benar dipisahkan dari masyarakatnya.’
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Semua nabi yang sudah berbicara, mulai dari Samuel, sudah menubuatkan tentang hari ini.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Kalian adalah anak dari para nabi dan perjanjian yang Allah buat dengan nenek moyang kalian ketika Allah berkata kepada Abraham, ‘Dari keturunanmulah seluruh keluarga di seluruh dunia akan diberkati.’
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Allah menyiapkan Hamba-Nya dan mengirimkan Dia lebih dahulu kepada kalian, untuk memberkati kalian dengan mengubah kalian masing-masing dari jalan-jalan kalian yang jahat.”
