Kisah Para Rasul 3
1 Pada suatu hari Petrus dan Yohanes pergi ke Rumah Tuhan pada pukul tiga sore, yaitu pada waktu untuk berdoa.
[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].
2 Di sana di pintu gerbang yang disebut "Pintu Indah", ada seorang laki-laki yang lumpuh sejak lahir. Setiap hari orang itu dibawa ke sana untuk mengemis kepada orang-orang yang masuk ke Rumah Tuhan.
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.
3 Ketika orang itu melihat Petrus dan Yohanes sedang masuk ke Rumah Tuhan, ia minta mereka memberikan sesuatu kepadanya.
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!”)
4 Maka mereka menatap dia, kemudian Petrus berkata, "Pandanglah kami!"
As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
5 Lalu orang itu memperhatikan mereka dengan harapan akan mendapat sesuatu dari mereka.
So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
6 Tetapi Petrus berkata kepadanya, "Saya tidak punya uang sama sekali. Tetapi apa yang ada pada saya, itu akan saya berikan kepadamu: Dengan kuasa Yesus Kristus orang Nazaret itu, berjalanlah!"
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!”
7 Lalu Petrus memegang tangan kanan orang lumpuh itu dan menolong dia bangun. Langsung kaki orang itu dan mata kakinya menjadi kuat.
Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
8 Lalu ia melompat berdiri, dan mulai berjalan ke sana kemari. Kemudian ia masuk ke Rumah Tuhan bersama-sama Petrus dan Yohanes, sambil berjalan dan melompat-lompat dan memuji Allah.
He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
9 Semua orang melihat dia berjalan dan memuji-muji Allah.
All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
10 Lalu mereka menyadari bahwa dialah pengemis yang biasanya duduk di "Pintu Indah" di Rumah Tuhan. Mereka heran sekali dan kagum melihat apa yang terjadi kepadanya.
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.
11 Orang itu terus saja mengikuti Petrus dan Yohanes. Dan sewaktu mereka bertiga sampai di serambi yang disebut "Serambi Salomo", semua orang datang berkerumun pada mereka karena kagum.
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.
12 Ketika Petrus melihat orang-orang itu, ia berkata kepada mereka, "Hai orang-orang Israel, mengapa Saudara-saudara heran akan hal ini? Mengapa kalian melihat terus pada kami? Apa kalian kira orang ini dapat berjalan karena ada kuasa pada kami atau karena kami taat kepada Allah?
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!
13 Allah yang disembah oleh Abraham, Ishak, Yakub, Allah nenek moyang kita, Allah itu sudah memuliakan Hamba-Nya, yaitu Yesus. Yesus itulah yang kalian serahkan kepada pihak penguasa, dan kalian lawan di hadapan Pilatus, pada waktu Pilatus mau melepaskan-Nya.
[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.
14 Ia suci dan baik, tetapi kalian menentang Dia dan mendesak supaya Pilatus melepaskan seorang pembunuh untuk kalian.
[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)!
15 Saudara-saudara membunuh Dia, padahal justru Dialah sumber hidup untuk semua orang. Dan Allah sudah menghidupkan Dia kembali dari kematian. Kami sudah menyaksikan sendiri hal itu.
[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.
16 Saudara-saudara sudah melihat dan menyaksikan apa yang terjadi dengan orang lumpuh ini. Ia sudah menjadi kuat dan sehat kembali karena ia percaya kepada Yesus dan kuasa-Nya. Karena percaya kepada Yesus maka orang ini sudah menjadi sehat kembali di hadapan Saudara-saudara sekalian.
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.”
17 Saudara-saudara! Sekarang saya tahu bahwa apa yang kalian dan pemimpin-pemimpinmu lakukan terhadap Yesus, itu kalian lakukan karena kalian tidak tahu apa yang kalian sedang lakukan.
“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].
18 Dan karena itulah terjadi juga apa yang sudah diberitahukan oleh Allah dahulu kala melalui semua nabi-nabi-Nya, bahwa Raja Penyelamat yang dijanjikan itu harus menderita.
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].
19 Oleh sebab itu Saudara-saudara, bertobatlah dari dosa-dosamu dan kembalilah kepada Allah, supaya Ia menghapuskan dosa-dosamu.
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.
20 Tuhan akan datang kepadamu dan kalian akan mengalami kesegaran rohani. Dan Tuhan akan menyuruh Yesus datang kepadamu, karena Ia sudah ditentukan oleh Allah menjadi Raja Penyelamat untukmu.
[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.
21 Ia harus tinggal di surga sampai Allah menjadikan semuanya baru seperti yang dikatakan oleh Allah melalui nabi-nabi-Nya pada zaman dahulu. (aiōn g165)
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)
22 Musa pernah berkata, 'Allah Tuhanmu akan mengutus kepadamu seorang nabi dari bangsamu sendiri, seperti Ia mengutus aku. Kamu harus mendengar semua yang dikatakan oleh nabi itu kepadamu.
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].
23 Orang yang tidak memperhatikan apa yang dikatakan oleh nabi itu, orang itu akan disingkirkan dari umat Allah dan dibinasakan.'
[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’.”
24 Nabi-nabi yang pernah menyampaikan berita dari Allah, mulai dari Nabi Samuel dan nabi-nabi lainnya yang datang kemudian, semuanya memberitakan tentang zaman ini.
[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.
25 Janji-janji dari Allah yang disampaikan oleh nabi-nabi adalah untuk Saudara-saudara. Dalam perjanjian yang Allah buat dengan nenek moyangmu, Allah berkata kepada Abraham begini, 'Dari keturunanmu Aku akan memberkati segala bangsa di bumi.' Perjanjian itu adalah untuk kalian juga.
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].’”
26 Itu sebabnya Allah memilih Hamba-Nya, lalu menyuruh Dia datang kepada kalian terlebih dahulu, supaya Ia memberkati kalian. Caranya Ia memberkati ialah dengan membuat Saudara-saudara sekalian bertobat dari cara hidupmu yang jahat."
[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].”
