< Acts 1 >

1 [Dear] Theophilus, In my first book [that I wrote for you], I wrote about many of the things that Jesus did and taught
Teofilus yang budiman, Di dalam bukuku yang pertama sudah kuterangkan semuanya yang dilakukan dan diajarkan oleh Yesus sejak Ia mulai pekerjaan-Nya,
2 until the day on which he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven]. Before [he went to heaven], saying what the Holy Spirit [told him], he told the apostles whom he had chosen [the things that he wanted them to know].
sampai pada hari Ia diangkat ke surga. Sebelum Ia naik ke surga, dengan kuasa Roh Allah Ia memberi petunjuk-petunjuk kepada rasul-rasul-Nya yang terpilih.
3 After he had suffered [and died on the cross], [he became alive again]. As he appeared to them [often] during [the next] 40 days, the apostles saw him many times. He proved to them in many ways that he was alive again. He talked [with them] about [how] God would rule [MET] [the lives of people who accepted him as their king].
Sesudah Ia mati, selama empat puluh hari Ia sering menunjukkan dengan cara yang nyata sekali kepada rasul-rasul itu bahwa Ia sungguh-sungguh hidup. Mereka melihat Dia, dan Ia berbicara dengan mereka mengenai bagaimana Allah memerintah sebagai Raja.
4 [One time] while he was with them, he told them, “Do not leave Jerusalem [yet]. Instead, wait [here] until my Father sends [his Spirit] [MTY] [to you], as he promised [to do]. You have heard me speak [to you] about that.
Dan pada waktu Ia berkumpul bersama mereka, Ia memberi perintah ini kepada mereka, "Jangan pergi dari Yerusalem. Tunggu di situ sampai Bapa memberikan apa yang sudah dijanjikan-Nya, yaitu yang sudah Kuberitahukan kepadamu dahulu.
5 John baptized people in water [because they said that they wanted to change their lives], but after a few days [LIT] [God] will put the Holy Spirit within you(pl) [to truly change your lives].”
Sebab Yohanes membaptis dengan air, tetapi beberapa hari lagi kalian akan dibaptis dengan Roh Allah."
6 One day when the [apostles] met together [with Jesus], they asked him, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now become the King [MET] over [us] Israelite people [like King David, who ruled long ago]?” (OR, “Lord, will you [(sg)] now [defeat the Romans and] restore the kingdom [to us] Israelite people?”)
Ketika rasul-rasul itu berkumpul bersama-sama dengan Yesus, mereka bertanya kepada-Nya, "Tuhan, apakah sekarang Tuhan mau mendirikan kembali Pemerintahan bangsa Israel?"
7 He replied to them, “You do not [need] to know the time [periods] and days [when that will happen]. My Father alone has decided [when he will make me king].
Yesus menjawab, "Bapa-Ku sendiri yang menentukan hari dan waktunya. Itu tidak perlu kalian ketahui, sebab itu hak Bapa.
8 But [you do need to know that] the Holy Spirit will make you [spiritually] strong when he comes to live in you. Then you will [powerfully] tell people about me in Jerusalem and in all [the other places in] Judea [district], in Samaria [district], and in places far away all over [IDM] the world.”
Tetapi kalian akan mendapat kuasa, kalau Roh Allah sudah datang kepadamu. Dan kalian akan menjadi saksi-saksi untuk-Ku di Yerusalem, di seluruh Yudea, di Samaria, dan sampai ke ujung bumi."
9 After he said that, he was taken {[God] took him} up [to heaven], while they were watching. [He went up into] a cloud [PRS], which prevented them from seeing him [any more].
Sesudah Yesus berkata begitu, Ia diangkat ke surga di depan mata mereka, dan awan menutupi Dia dari pandangan mereka.
10 While [the apostles] were [still] staring towards the sky as he was going up, suddenly two men who were wearing white clothes stood beside them. [They were angels].
Sementara mereka masih memandang ke langit, sewaktu Yesus terangkat, tiba-tiba dua orang berpakaian putih berdiri di sebelah mereka.
11 One [of] them said, “You men from Galilee [district], (you do not need to stand [here any longer] looking up at the sky!/why do you still stand [here] looking up at the sky?) [RHQ] [Some day] this same Jesus, whom [God] took from you up to heaven, will come back [to earth]. He will return in the same manner as you [just now] saw him when he went up to heaven, [but he will not return now].”
"Hai, orang-orang Galilea," kata kedua orang itu, "mengapa kalian berdiri saja di situ memandang ke langit? Yesus, yang kalian lihat terangkat ke surga itu di hadapan kalian, akan kembali lagi dengan cara itu juga seperti yang kalian lihat tadi."
12 Then [after the two angels left], the apostles returned to Jerusalem from Olive [Tree] Hill, which was about (a half mile/one kilometer) [MTY] from Jerusalem.
Kemudian rasul-rasul itu kembali ke Yerusalem dari Bukit Zaitun. Bukit itu terletak kira-kira satu kilometer jauhnya dari Yerusalem.
13 When they entered [the city], they went upstairs to the room [in the house] where they were staying. [Those who were there included] Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, [another] James [the son] of Alphaeus, Simon who belonged to the group that wanted to expel the Romans, and Judas [the son] of [another man named] James.
Di Yerusalem mereka pergi ke rumah tempat mereka menumpang, lalu naik ke kamar yang di atas. Rasul-rasul itu, yaitu Petrus dan Yohanes, Yakobus dan Andreas, Filipus dan Tomas, Bartolomeus dan Matius, Yakobus anak Alfeus, Simon Patriot dan Yudas anak Yakobus;
14 All these apostles agreed concerning the things about which they continually were praying [together. Others who prayed with them] included the women [who had accompanied Jesus], Mary who was Jesus’ mother, and his [younger] brothers.
semuanya selalu dengan sehati berkumpul untuk berdoa. Mereka berdoa bersama wanita-wanita termasuk Maria ibu Yesus, dan bersama saudara-saudara Yesus.
15 During those days Peter stood up among his fellow believers. There were [at that place] a group of about 120 of [Jesus’ followers]. Peter said,
Pada suatu hari, ketika mereka sedang berkumpul--ada kira-kira seratus dua puluh orang yang hadir--Petrus berdiri untuk berbicara. Ia berkata,
16 “My fellow believers, [there are words that King] David wrote [MTY] in the Scriptures long ago that needed to be fulfilled {to happen [as he said they would]}. The Holy Spirit, [who knew that Judas would be the one who would fulfill those words], told David what to write.
"Saudara-saudara! Apa yang tertulis di dalam Alkitab, itu harus terjadi. Dahulu melalui Daud, Roh Allah sudah bernubuat tentang Yudas, pemimpin orang-orang yang menangkap Yesus itu.
17 [Although] Judas had been chosen {[Jesus] had chosen Judas}, along with [the rest of] us [(exc)] to serve [as an apostle], Judas was the person who led to Jesus the people who seized him.”
Yudas adalah salah seorang dari kita, dan ia sudah dipilih juga untuk ikut bekerja bersama-sama dengan kita."
18 [The Jewish leaders] gave Judas money when he [promised to] treacherously/wickedly [betray Jesus. Later Judas returned that money to them]. When Judas [hanged himself], his body fell down [to the ground]. His abdomen burst open, and all his intestines spilled out. [So] the [Jewish leaders] bought a field [using] that money.
(Yudas ini sudah mendapat tanah kuburannya dari upah pengkhianatannya yang jahat. Ia jatuh dan mati dengan perutnya terbelah sampai isi perutnya keluar semuanya.
19 All the people who reside in Jerusalem heard [about that], so they called that field in their own [Aramaic] language, Akeldama, which means ‘Field of Blood’, [because it was where someone bled and died].
Semua orang yang tinggal di Yerusalem tahu tentang hal itu. Itu sebabnya dalam bahasa mereka, mereka menamakan tanah itu Akeldama, yang berarti 'Tanah Darah'.)
20 [Peter also said], “[I perceive that what happened to Judas is like what the writer of] Psalms [desired to happen]: ‘May his house become deserted, and may there be no one to live in it.’ (OR, ‘[Judge him, Lord, so that neither he nor] anyone [else] may live in his house!)’ And it seems that [these other words that David wrote also refer to Judas: ] ‘Let someone else take over his work as a leader.’”
"Karena di dalam buku Mazmur ada tertulis begini, 'Biarlah tempat tinggalnya menjadi sunyi; jangan seorang pun tinggal di dalamnya.' Ada tertulis begini juga, 'Biarlah kedudukannya diambil orang lain.'
21 “So it is necessary [for us apostles] to choose a man [to replace Judas. He must be one who] accompanied [MTY] us all the time when the Lord Jesus was with us.
Sebab itu, harus ada seseorang yang ikut dengan kita menjadi saksi bahwa Tuhan Yesus sudah hidup kembali dari kematian. Orang itu haruslah salah seorang dari antara orang-orang yang selalu bersama-sama dengan kita pada waktu kita mengikuti Tuhan Yesus ke mana-mana, sejak Yohanes mulai membaptis sampai pada waktu Yesus diangkat ke surga dari tengah-tengah kita."
22 [That would be] from [the time when] John [the Baptizer] baptized [Jesus] until the day when Jesus was taken {when [God] took Jesus} from us up [to heaven]. He must be one who saw Jesus alive again [after he died].”
23 So the [apostles and other believers] suggested [the names of two men who qualified. One man was] Joseph, who was called {whom people called} Barsabbas (OR, Joseph Barsabbas) who [also] had the [Roman] name Justus. The other man was Matthias.
Maka orang-orang yang hadir di situ menyarankan dua orang, yaitu Yusuf yang disebut juga Barsabas (ia disebut Yustus juga), dan Matias.
24 Then they prayed like this: “Lord [Jesus], Judas stopped being an apostle. [He died and] went to the place where he [deserved to be] [EUP]. [So we(exc) need to choose someone] to replace [Judas in order] that he can serve [you(sg) by becoming] an apostle. You [(sg)] know what everyone is really like. So [please] show us which of these two men you have chosen.”
Lalu mereka berdoa. Mereka berkata, "Tuhan, Engkau tahu hati semua orang. Yudas sudah jatuh dari jabatannya sebagai rasul dan sudah mati. Jadi tunjukkanlah kepada kami, siapa dari kedua orang ini yang Tuhan pilih untuk diberi tugas itu menggantikan Yudas."
26 Then they cast lots [to choose between the two of] them, and the lot fell for Matthias. (OR, Then [one of] the [apostles] shook [in a container] small objects/stones [that] they [had marked to determine which man God had chosen]. And the small object/stone [that they had marked] for Matthias fell [out of the container]). So Matthias was considered {they considered Matthias} [to be an apostle] along with the [other] eleven apostles.
Sesudah itu kedua nama itu diundi, lalu undian jatuh pada Matias. Jadi ia diangkat menjadi rasul untuk turut bersama-sama dengan kesebelas rasul yang lainnya.
