Kisah Para Rasul 10
1 Di Kaisarea ada seorang yang bernama Kornelius, seorang perwira pasukan yang disebut pasukan Italia.
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in the regiment known as the ‘Italian Regiment,’
2 Ia saleh, ia serta seisi rumahnya takut akan Allah dan ia memberi banyak sedekah kepada umat Yahudi dan senantiasa berdoa kepada Allah.
A religious man and one who reverenced God, with all his household. He was liberal in his charities to the people, and prayed to God constantly.
3 Dalam suatu penglihatan, kira-kira jam tiga petang, jelas tampak kepadanya seorang malaikat Allah masuk ke rumahnya dan berkata kepadanya: "Kornelius!"
One afternoon, about three o’clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.
4 Ia menatap malaikat itu dan dengan takut ia berkata: "Ada apa, Tuhan?" Jawab malaikat itu: "Semua doamu dan sedekahmu telah naik ke hadirat Allah dan Allah mengingat engkau.
Cornelius fixed his eyes on him and, in great alarm, said, “What is it, Lord?” “Your prayers and your charities,” the angel answered, “have been an acceptable offering to God.
5 Dan sekarang, suruhlah beberapa orang ke Yope untuk menjemput seorang yang bernama Simon dan yang disebut Petrus.
And now, send messengers to Joppa and fetch a man called Simon, who is also known as Peter.
6 Ia menumpang di rumah seorang penyamak kulit yang bernama Simon, yang tinggal di tepi laut."
He is lodging with a tanner named Simon, who has a house near the sea.”
7 Setelah malaikat yang berbicara kepadanya itu meninggalkan dia, dipanggilnya dua orang hambanya beserta seorang prajurit yang saleh dari orang-orang yang selalu bersama-sama dengan dia.
When the angel, who had spoken to him, had gone, Cornelius called two servants and a religious soldier, who was one of his constant attendants,
8 Dan sesudah ia menjelaskan segala sesuatu kepada mereka, ia menyuruh mereka ke Yope.
and, after telling them the whole story, sent them to Joppa.
9 Keesokan harinya ketika ketiga orang itu berada dalam perjalanan dan sudah dekat kota Yope, kira-kira pukul dua belas tengah hari, naiklah Petrus ke atas rumah untuk berdoa.
On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about midday to pray.
10 Ia merasa lapar dan ingin makan, tetapi sementara makanan disediakan, tiba-tiba rohnya diliputi kuasa ilahi.
He became hungry and wanted something to eat; but while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance,
11 Tampak olehnya langit terbuka dan turunlah suatu benda berbentuk kain lebar yang bergantung pada keempat sudutnya, yang diturunkan ke tanah.
and saw that the heavens were open, and that something like a great sail was descending, let down by its four corners towards the earth.
12 Di dalamnya terdapat pelbagai jenis binatang berkaki empat, binatang menjalar dan burung.
In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds.
13 Kedengaranlah olehnya suatu suara yang berkata: "Bangunlah, hai Petrus, sembelihlah dan makanlah!"
Then he was aware of a voice which said – “Stand up, Peter, kill something, and eat.”
14 Tetapi Petrus menjawab: "Tidak, Tuhan, tidak, sebab aku belum pernah makan sesuatu yang haram dan yang tidak tahir."
“No, Lord, I cannot,” answered Peter, “for I have never eaten anything defiled and unclean.”
15 Kedengaran pula untuk kedua kalinya suara yang berkata kepadanya: "Apa yang dinyatakan halal oleh Allah, tidak boleh engkau nyatakan haram."
Again he was aware of a voice which said – “What God has pronounced clean, do not regard as defiled.”
16 Hal ini terjadi sampai tiga kali dan segera sesudah itu terangkatlah benda itu ke langit.
This happened three times, and then suddenly it was all taken up into the heavens.
17 Petrus bertanya-tanya di dalam hatinya, apa kiranya arti penglihatan yang telah dilihatnya itu. Sementara itu telah sampai di muka pintu orang-orang yang disuruh oleh Kornelius dan yang berusaha mengetahui di mana rumah Petrus.
While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon’s house, came up to the gate,
18 Mereka memanggil seorang dan bertanya, apakah Simon yang disebut Petrus ada menumpang di rumah itu.
and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.
19 Dan ketika Petrus sedang berpikir tentang penglihatan itu, berkatalah Roh: "Ada tiga orang mencari engkau.
Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him, “There are two men looking for you at this moment.
20 Bangunlah, turunlah ke bawah dan berangkatlah bersama-sama dengan mereka, jangan bimbang, sebab Aku yang menyuruh mereka ke mari."
Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”
21 Lalu turunlah Petrus ke bawah dan berkata kepada orang-orang itu: "Akulah yang kamu cari; apakah maksud kedatangan kamu?"
Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the person you are looking for. What is your reason for coming?”
22 Jawab mereka: "Kornelius, seorang perwira yang tulus hati dan takut akan Allah, dan yang terkenal baik di antara seluruh bangsa Yahudi, telah menerima penyataan Allah dengan perantaraan seorang malaikat kudus, supaya ia mengundang engkau ke rumahnya dan mendengar apa yang akan kaukatakan."
The men replied, “Our centurion, Cornelius, a pious man who reverences God and is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, has been instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to listen to what you have to say.”
23 Ia mempersilakan mereka untuk bermalam di situ. Keesokan harinya ia bangun dan berangkat bersama-sama dengan mereka, dan beberapa saudara dari Yope menyertai dia.
So Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Lord’s followers from Joppa;
24 Dan pada hari berikutnya sampailah mereka di Kaisarea. Kornelius sedang menantikan mereka dan ia telah memanggil sanak saudaranya dan sahabat-sahabatnya berkumpul.
and the day following he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them, and had invited his relatives and intimate friends to meet them.
25 Ketika Petrus masuk, datanglah Kornelius menyambutnya, dan sambil tersungkur di depan kakinya, ia menyembah Petrus.
So, when Peter entered the city, Cornelius met him, and, throwing himself at Peter’s feet, bowed to the ground.
26 Tetapi Petrus menegakkan dia, katanya: "Bangunlah, aku hanya manusia saja."
Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so, “Stand up, I am only human like yourself.”
27 Dan sambil bercakap-cakap dengan dia, ia masuk dan mendapati banyak orang sedang berkumpul.
Talking with him as he went, Peter entered the house, where he found a large gathering of people, to whom he said,
28 Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Kamu tahu, betapa kerasnya larangan bagi seorang Yahudi untuk bergaul dengan orang-orang yang bukan Yahudi atau masuk ke rumah mereka. Tetapi Allah telah menunjukkan kepadaku, bahwa aku tidak boleh menyebut orang najis atau tidak tahir.
“You are doubtless aware that it is forbidden for a Jew to be intimate with a foreigner, or even to enter his house; and yet God has shown me that I ought not to call anyone defiled or unclean.
29 Itulah sebabnya aku tidak berkeberatan ketika aku dipanggil, lalu datang ke mari. Sekarang aku ingin tahu, apa sebabnya kamu memanggil aku."
That was why I came, when I was sent for, without raising any objection. And now I ask your reason for sending for me.”
30 Jawab Kornelius: "Empat hari yang lalu kira-kira pada waktu yang sama seperti sekarang, yaitu jam tiga petang, aku sedang berdoa di rumah. Tiba-tiba ada seorang berdiri di depanku, pakaiannya berkilau-kilauan
“Just three days ago this very hour,” Cornelius said, “I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.
31 dan ia berkata: Kornelius, doamu telah didengarkan Allah dan sedekahmu telah diingatkan di hadapan-Nya.
‘Cornelius,’ he said, ‘your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.
32 Suruhlah orang ke Yope untuk menjemput Simon yang disebut Petrus; ia sedang menumpang di rumah Simon, seorang penyamak kulit, yang tinggal di tepi laut.
Therefore send to Joppa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.’
33 Karena itu segera kusuruh orang kepadamu, dan dengan senang hati engkau telah datang. Sekarang kami semua sudah hadir di sini di hadapan Allah untuk mendengarkan apa yang ditugaskan Allah kepadamu."
Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”
34 Lalu mulailah Petrus berbicara, katanya: "Sesungguhnya aku telah mengerti, bahwa Allah tidak membedakan orang.
Then Peter began. “I see, beyond all doubt,” he said, “that God does not show partiality,
35 Setiap orang dari bangsa manapun yang takut akan Dia dan yang mengamalkan kebenaran berkenan kepada-Nya.
but that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
36 Itulah firman yang Ia suruh sampaikan kepada orang-orang Israel, yaitu firman yang memberitakan damai sejahtera oleh Yesus Kristus, yang adalah Tuhan dari semua orang.
God has sent his message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the good news of peace – and Jesus is Lord of all!
37 Kamu tahu tentang segala sesuatu yang terjadi di seluruh tanah Yudea, mulai dari Galilea, sesudah baptisan yang diberitakan oleh Yohanes,
You yourselves know the story which spread through all Judea, how, beginning form Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed –
38 yaitu tentang Yesus dari Nazaret: bagaimana Allah mengurapi Dia dengan Roh Kudus dan kuat kuasa, Dia, yang berjalan berkeliling sambil berbuat baik dan menyembuhkan semua orang yang dikuasai Iblis, sebab Allah menyertai Dia.
the story, I mean, of Jesus of Nazareth, and how God consecrated him his Christ by enduing him with the Holy Spirit and with power; and how he went about doing good and curing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
39 Dan kami adalah saksi dari segala sesuatu yang diperbuat-Nya di tanah Yudea maupun di Yerusalem; dan mereka telah membunuh Dia dan menggantung Dia pada kayu salib.
We are ourselves, too, witnesses to all that he did in Judea and in Jerusalem; yet they put him to death by hanging him on a cross!
40 Yesus itu telah dibangkitkan Allah pada hari yang ketiga, dan Allah berkenan, bahwa Ia menampakkan diri,
This Jesus God raised on the third day, and enabled him to appear,
41 bukan kepada seluruh bangsa, tetapi kepada saksi-saksi, yang sebelumnya telah ditunjuk oleh Allah, yaitu kepada kami yang telah makan dan minum bersama-sama dengan Dia, setelah Ia bangkit dari antara orang mati.
not indeed to everyone, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God – to us, who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.
42 Dan Ia telah menugaskan kami memberitakan kepada seluruh bangsa dan bersaksi, bahwa Dialah yang ditentukan Allah menjadi Hakim atas orang-orang hidup dan orang-orang mati.
Further, God charged us to proclaim to the people, and solemnly affirm, that it is Jesus who has been appointed by God judge of the living and the dead.
43 Tentang Dialah semua nabi bersaksi, bahwa barangsiapa percaya kepada-Nya, ia akan mendapat pengampunan dosa oleh karena nama-Nya."
To him it is that all the prophets bear witness, when they say that everyone who believes in him receives through his name forgiveness of sins.”
44 Ketika Petrus sedang berkata demikian, turunlah Roh Kudus ke atas semua orang yang mendengarkan pemberitaan itu.
Before Peter had finished saying these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the message.
45 Dan semua orang percaya dari golongan bersunat yang menyertai Petrus, tercengang-cengang, karena melihat, bahwa karunia Roh Kudus dicurahkan ke atas bangsa-bangsa lain juga,
Those converts from Judaism, who had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been bestowed even on the Gentiles;
46 sebab mereka mendengar orang-orang itu berkata-kata dalam bahasa roh dan memuliakan Allah. Lalu kata Petrus:
for they heard them speaking in different languages and extolling God. At this Peter asked,
47 "Bolehkah orang mencegah untuk membaptis orang-orang ini dengan air, sedangkan mereka telah menerima Roh Kudus sama seperti kita?"
“Can anyone refuse the water for the baptism of these people, now that they have received the Holy Spirit as we did ourselves?”
48 Lalu ia menyuruh mereka dibaptis dalam nama Yesus Kristus. Kemudian mereka meminta Petrus, supaya ia tinggal beberapa hari lagi bersama-sama dengan mereka.
And he directed that they should be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ; after which they asked him to stay there a few days longer.
