Acts 1
1 My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,
Hai Teofilus, dalam bukuku yang pertama aku menulis tentang segala sesuatu yang dikerjakan dan diajarkan Yesus,
2 after giving instruction through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen, He was taken up to Heaven.
sampai pada hari Ia terangkat. Sebelum itu Ia telah memberi perintah-Nya oleh Roh Kudus kepada rasul-rasul yang dipilih-Nya.
3 He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during forty days, and speaking of the Kingdom of God.
Kepada mereka Ia menunjukkan diri-Nya setelah penderitaan-Nya selesai, dan dengan banyak tanda Ia membuktikan, bahwa Ia hidup. Sebab selama empat puluh hari Ia berulang-ulang menampakkan diri dan berbicara kepada mereka tentang Kerajaan Allah.
4 And while in their company He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's promised gift. "This you have heard of," He said, "from me.
Pada suatu hari ketika Ia makan bersama-sama dengan mereka, Ia melarang mereka meninggalkan Yerusalem, dan menyuruh mereka tinggal di situ menantikan janji Bapa, yang--demikian kata-Nya--"telah kamu dengar dari pada-Ku.
5 For John indeed baptized with water, but before many days have passed you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
Sebab Yohanes membaptis dengan air, tetapi tidak lama lagi kamu akan dibaptis dengan Roh Kudus."
6 Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, "Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
Maka bertanyalah mereka yang berkumpul di situ: "Tuhan, maukah Engkau pada masa ini memulihkan kerajaan bagi Israel?"
7 "It is not for you," He replied, "to know times or epochs which the Father has reserved within His own authority;
Jawab-Nya: "Engkau tidak perlu mengetahui masa dan waktu, yang ditetapkan Bapa sendiri menurut kuasa-Nya.
8 and yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to the remotest parts of the earth."
Tetapi kamu akan menerima kuasa, kalau Roh Kudus turun ke atas kamu, dan kamu akan menjadi saksi-Ku di Yerusalem dan di seluruh Yudea dan Samaria dan sampai ke ujung bumi."
9 When He had said this, and while they were looking at Him, He was carried up, and a cloud closing beneath Him hid Him from their sight.
Sesudah Ia mengatakan demikian, terangkatlah Ia disaksikan oleh mereka, dan awan menutup-Nya dari pandangan mereka.
10 But, while they stood intently gazing into the sky as He went, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
Ketika mereka sedang menatap ke langit waktu Ia naik itu, tiba-tiba berdirilah dua orang yang berpakaian putih dekat mereka,
11 who said, "Galilaeans, why stand looking into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will come in just the same way as you have seen Him going into Heaven."
dan berkata kepada mereka: "Hai orang-orang Galilea, mengapakah kamu berdiri melihat ke langit? Yesus ini, yang terangkat ke sorga meninggalkan kamu, akan datang kembali dengan cara yang sama seperti kamu melihat Dia naik ke sorga."
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Oliveyard, which is near Jerusalem, about a mile off.
Maka kembalilah rasul-rasul itu ke Yerusalem dari bukit yang disebut Bukit Zaitun, yang hanya seperjalanan Sabat jauhnya dari Yerusalem.
13 They entered the city, and they went up to the upper room which was now their fixed place for meeting. Their names were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
Setelah mereka tiba di kota, naiklah mereka ke ruang atas, tempat mereka menumpang. Mereka itu ialah Petrus dan Yohanes, Yakobus dan Andreas, Filipus dan Tomas, Bartolomeus dan Matius, Yakobus bin Alfeus, dan Simon orang Zelot dan Yudas bin Yakobus.
14 All of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
Mereka semua bertekun dengan sehati dalam doa bersama-sama, dengan beberapa perempuan serta Maria, ibu Yesus, dan dengan saudara-saudara Yesus.
15 It was on one of these days that Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren--the entire number of persons present being about 120--and said,
Pada hari-hari itu berdirilah Petrus di tengah-tengah saudara-saudara yang sedang berkumpul itu, kira-kira seratus dua puluh orang banyaknya, lalu berkata:
16 "Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled--the prediction, I mean, which the Holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
"Hai saudara-saudara, haruslah genap nas Kitab Suci, yang disampaikan Roh Kudus dengan perantaraan Daud tentang Yudas, pemimpin orang-orang yang menangkap Yesus itu.
17 For Judas was reckoned as one of our number, and a share in this ministry was allotted to him."
Dahulu ia termasuk bilangan kami dan mengambil bagian di dalam pelayanan ini."
18 (Now having bought a piece of ground with the money paid for his wickedness he fell there with his face downwards, and, his body bursting open, he became disembowelled.
--Yudas ini telah membeli sebidang tanah dengan upah kejahatannya, lalu ia jatuh tertelungkup, dan perutnya terbelah sehingga semua isi perutnya tertumpah ke luar.
19 This fact became widely known to the people of Jerusalem, so that the place received the name, in their language, of Achel-damach, which means 'The Field of Blood.')
Hal itu diketahui oleh semua penduduk Yerusalem, sehingga tanah itu mereka sebut dalam bahasa mereka sendiri "Hakal-Dama", artinya Tanah Darah--.
20 "For it is written in the Book of Psalms, "'Let his encampment be desolate: let there be no one to dwell there'; and "'His work let another take up.'
"Sebab ada tertulis dalam kitab Mazmur: Biarlah perkemahannya menjadi sunyi, dan biarlah tidak ada penghuni di dalamnya: dan: Biarlah jabatannya diambil orang lain.
21 "It is necessary, therefore, that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--
Jadi harus ditambahkan kepada kami seorang dari mereka yang senantiasa datang berkumpul dengan kami selama Tuhan Yesus bersama-sama dengan kami,
22 beginning from His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to His resurrection."
yaitu mulai dari baptisan Yohanes sampai hari Yesus terangkat ke sorga meninggalkan kami, untuk menjadi saksi dengan kami tentang kebangkitan-Nya."
23 So two names were proposed, Joseph called Bar-sabbas--and surnamed Justus--and Matthias.
Lalu mereka mengusulkan dua orang: Yusuf yang disebut Barsabas dan yang juga bernama Yustus, dan Matias.
24 And the brethren prayed, saying, "Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show clearly which of these two Thou hast chosen
Mereka semua berdoa dan berkata: "Ya Tuhan, Engkaulah yang mengenal hati semua orang, tunjukkanlah kiranya siapa yang Engkau pilih dari kedua orang ini,
25 to occupy the place in this ministry and Apostleship from which Judas through transgression fell, in order to go to his own place."
untuk menerima jabatan pelayanan, yaitu kerasulan yang ditinggalkan Yudas yang telah jatuh ke tempat yang wajar baginya."
26 Then they drew lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias, and a place among the eleven Apostles was voted to him.
Lalu mereka membuang undi bagi kedua orang itu dan yang kena undi adalah Matias dan dengan demikian ia ditambahkan kepada bilangan kesebelas rasul itu.
