Kisah Para Rasul 22
1 “Saudara-saudara dan bapak-bapak sekalian,” katanya, “Mohon dengarkan saya, saya hendak memberi penjelasan di hadapan kalian.”
Men brothers and fathers, do hear of me the to you (now *N(k)O*) defense.
2 Ketika mereka mendengar Paulus berbicara dalam bahasa Ibrani, mereka menjadi sangat tenang.
Having heard then that in the Hebrew language he was addressing them, even more they became quiet. And he says;
3 “Aku seorang Yahudi, dilahirkan di kota Tarsis di Silicia,” katanya. “Namun, aku dibesarkan di kota ini, dan diajarkan oleh Gamaliel. Aku diajarkan untuk meneliti Hukum yang diajarkan kepada nenek moyang kita dengan tegas. Aku sangat tekun untuk pekerjaan Allah, seperti kalian semua yang ada di sini,
I myself (indeed *k*) am a man Jewish born in Tarsus of Cilicia, brought up however in city this at the feet of Gamaliel instructed according to [the] exactness of the of our Fathers law, a zealous one being for God even as all you yourselves are this day,
4 dan saya menganiaya orang-orang di Jalan ini — menghukum mati mereka, dan memasukkan baik laki-laki maupun perempuan ke dalam penjara.
who this Way persecuted as far as death binding and betraying to prisons men both and women,
5 Imam besar dan para pemimpin Yahudi bisa memberikan kesaksian mengenai hal ini. Aku menerima surat kuasa yang di alamatkan kepada saudara-saudara orang Yahudi yang ada di Damsyik, dan pergi menuju ke sana untuk menangkap orang-orang ini dan membawa mereka sebagai tawanan ke Yerusalem untuk mendapatkan hukuman.
as also the high priest bears witness to me and all the elderhood, from whom also letters having received to the brothers to Damascus I was on my way going to bring also those there being bound to Jerusalem in order that they may be punished.
6 Sekitar tengah hari, sementara aku dalam perjalanan dan mendekati kota Damsyik, tiba-tiba ada cahaya terang dari langit bersinar di sekelilingku.
It happened however to me journeying and drawing near to Damascus about noon suddenly out of heaven shining a light great around me myself;
7 Aku jatuh ke tanah, dan aku mendengar sebuah suara berkata kepadaku, ‘Saulus, Saulus, mengapa kamu menganiaya Aku?’
I fell then to the ground and heard a voice saying to me; Saul Saul, why Me persecute you?
8 ‘Siapakah Engkau, Tuhan?’ jawabku. ‘Akulah Yesus dari Nasaret, orang yang kamu aniaya,’ kata-Nya kepadaku.
I myself then answered; Who are You Lord? He said then to me; I myself am Jesus of Nazareth whom you yourself are persecuting.
9 Rekan-rekan seperjalananku melihat cahaya itu, tetapi mereka tidak memahami suara yang berbicara kepadaku.
Those then with me myself being the indeed light beheld (and terrified they were *K*) the however voice not did they hear the [One] speaking to me.
10 ‘Apakah yang harus saya perbuat, Tuhan?’ tanyaku kepadanya. Kata Tuhan kepadaku, ‘Berdirilah dan pergilah ke kota Damsyik, dan di sana kamu akan mendapat tahu segala sesuatu yang sudah disiapkan untuk kamu lakukan.’
I said then; What shall I do Lord? And the Lord said to me; Having risen up do go to Damascus, and there and there you it will be told concerning all things that it has been appointed you to do.
11 Karena aku tidak dapat melihat oleh karena cahaya yang menyilaikan tadi, rekan-rekan seperjalananku menuntukuku dengan cara menuntunku masuk ke kota Damsyik.
While now not I was seeing because of the brightness of the light that, being led by the hand by those being with me I came to Damascus.
12 Di sana ada seorang bernama Ananias datang menemuiku. Dia adalah seorang beragama yang meneliti hukum taurat, dan sangat dihormati oleh orang-orang Yahudi yang tinggal di kota.
Ananias then certain, a man (devout *N(k)O*) according to the law, borne witness to by all the dwelling [there] Jews,
13 Dia berdiri di depanku dan berkata, ‘Saudara Saulus, terimalah kembali penglihatanmu.’ Pada saat itu juga aku bisa melihat kembali dan aku melihat kepadanya.
having come to me and having stood by [me] he said to me; Saul brother, do receive sight. And I myself And I myself on the same hour looked up at him.
14 Katanya kepadaku, ‘Allah nenek moyang kita sudah memilih kamu untuk mengenal kehendak-Nya, untuk melihat Dia yang baik dan benar, dan mendengarkan apa yang harus dia katakan kepadamu.
And he said; The God of the fathers of us has appointed you to know the will of Him and to see the Righteous One and to hear [the] voice out of the mouth of Him;
15 Kamu akan bersaksi bagi Dia kepada setiap orang tentang apa yang sudah kamu lihat dan dengar. Jadi apalagi yang kamu tunggu?
For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
16 Berdiri, berikan dirimu dibaptis, dan mintalah agar Dia membersihkan dosa-dosamu.’
And now why delay you? Having arisen do yourself be baptized and do yourself wash away the sins of you calling on the name (of Him. *N(K)O*)
17 Aku kembali ke Yerusalem, dan aku sedang berdoa di rumah Tuhan, ketika aku mendapat sebuah penglihatan.
It happened then to me having returned to Jerusalem and praying by me in the temple falling I into a trance
18 Dalam penglihatan itu Tuhan berkata, ‘Cepat, tinggalkan Yerusalem, sebab mereka tidak akan menerima berita yang akan kamu berikan tentang aku.’
and seeing Him saying to me; do make haste and do go away with speed out of Jerusalem, because not they will receive your (*k*) testimony about Me.
19 Aku menjawab, ‘Tuhan, tentunya mereka tahu bahwa aku pergi dari satu rumah ibadah ke rumah ibadah lainnya, memukuli dan memenjarakan mereka yang percaya kepada-Mu.
And I myself And I myself said; Lord, they themselves know that I myself was imprisoning and beating in each of those synagogues those believing on You;
20 Ketika Stefanus dibunuh karena memberikan kesaksian tentang Engkau, aku berdiri di sana dan mendukung para pembunuhnya, dengan menjaga jubah-jubah mereka.’
And when was poured out the blood of Stephen the witness of You, also I myself was already standing by and consenting (to the killing of him *K*) and watching over the garments of those executing him.
21 Tuhan berkata kepadaku, ‘Berangkatlah sekarang, sebab Aku mengirim kamu ke tempat yang jauh di antara orang-orang bukan Yahudi.’”
And He said to me; do go, for I myself to [the] Gentiles far away will send you.
22 Sampai di titik ini mereka masih mendengarkan perkataan Paulus, tetapi lalu mereka mulai berteriak, “Singkirkan orang ini dari atas bumi — dia tidak layak untuk tetap hidup!”
They were listening now to him until this word and they lifted up the voice of them saying; Away from the earth [with] such; Not for (it was proper *N(k)O*) [for] him to live!
23 Mereka berteriak dan merobek jubah mereka dan melemparkan debu ke udara.
(While shouting out *NK(o)*) (then *N(k)O*) they and casting off the garments and dust throwing into the air
24 Komandan Roma itu memerintahkan agar Paulus dibawa masuk ke dalam markas, dan memberi perintah agar dia diselidiki dengan dicambuk agar si komandan bisa menemukan penyebab orang-orang berteriak begitu keras melawan Paulus.
Ordered the commander (to be brought in *N(k)O*) him into the barracks having directed by flogging to be examined him, so that he may know for what cause like this they were crying out against him.
25 Ketika para prajurit mengikat dia dan bersiap-siap untuk mencambuk dia, Paulus bertanya kepada kepala pasukan, “Apakah boleh untuk mencambuk seorang warga negara Roma sebelum dia diadili?”
As however (they stretched forward *N(k)O*) him with the straps, said to the already standing by centurion Paul; If a man a Roman and uncondemned it is lawful to you to flog?
26 Ketika sang kepala pasukan mendengar perkataan Paulus, dia pergi ke sang komandan dan bertanya, “Bapak hendak melakukan apa? Orang ini warga negara Roma.”
Having heard then the centurion having gone to the commander he reported [it] saying; (do you see *K*) what are you going to do? for man this a Roman is.
27 Sang komandan datang dan bertanya kepada Paulus, “Katakan kepadaku, sungguh kamu warga negara Romawi?” Jawab Paulus, “Benar.”
Having come near then the commander said to him; do tell me, (if *k*) you yourself a Roman are? And he was saying; Yes.
28 “Aku membayar harga yang sangat mahal untuk mendapatkan kewarganegaraan itu,” kata sang komandan. “Tetapi aku dilahirkan sebagai warga negara Roma,” jawab Paulus.
Answered (then *N(k)O*) the commander; I myself with a great sum citizenship this bought. But Paul was saying; I myself however even has been born [so].
29 Mereka yang hendak mencambuk Paulus bergegas meninggalkannya. Sang komandan kuatir ketika dia tahu bahwa Paulus adalah seorang warga negara Roma sebab dia sudah merantai Paulus.
Immediately therefore departed from him those being about him to examine. and the commander also was afraid having ascertained that a Roman he is and because him he had having bound.
30 Keesokan harinya, karena ingin tahu alasan orang-orang Yahudi mendakwa Paulus, dia melepaskannya dan dibawa ke hadapan para imam kepala dan sidang keagamaan yang dia perintahkan untuk berkumpul. Dia membawa Paulus dan menempatkannya di hadapan mereka.
On the now next day desiring to know for certain why he is accused (by *N(k)O*) the Jews, he unbound him (from the chains *K*) and commanded (to assemble *N(k)O*) the chief priests and (all *N(k)O*) the council (of them, *k*) And having brought down Paul he set [him] among them.
