Acts 16
1 Paul [and Silas] to Derbe [city and visited the believers there]. Next [they went to] Lystra [city]. A believer whose name was Timothy lived there. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was a Greek.
Paulus datang juga ke Derbe dan ke Listra. Di situ ada seorang murid bernama Timotius; ibunya adalah seorang Yahudi dan telah menjadi percaya, sedangkan ayahnya seorang Yunani.
2 The believers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy,
Timotius ini dikenal baik oleh saudara-saudara di Listra dan di Ikonium,
3 and Paul wanted to take Timothy with him [when he went] to other places, so he circumcised Timothy. [He did that so that] the Jews who lived in those places [would accept Timothy], because they knew that his non-Jewish father [had not allowed him to be circumcised] {[anyone to circumcise his son]}.
dan Paulus mau, supaya dia menyertainya dalam perjalanan. Paulus menyuruh menyunatkan dia karena orang-orang Yahudi di daerah itu, sebab setiap orang tahu bahwa bapanya adalah orang Yunani.
4 [So Timothy went with Paul and Silas] and they traveled to many other towns. [In each town] they told [the] believers the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem {that the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had decided} that [non-Jewish] believers should obey.
Dalam perjalanan keliling dari kota ke kota Paulus dan Silas menyampaikan keputusan-keputusan yang diambil para rasul dan para penatua di Yerusalem dengan pesan, supaya jemaat-jemaat menurutinya.
5 [God was helping] the believers in those towns to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus], and every day more people became believers.
Demikianlah jemaat-jemaat diteguhkan dalam iman dan makin lama makin bertambah besar jumlahnya.
6 Paul and his companions wanted/planned to enter Asia [province] preach the message [about Jesus] there, but they were prevented by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit prevented them} [from going there. So] they traveled through Phrygia and Galatia [provinces].
Mereka melintasi tanah Frigia dan tanah Galatia, karena Roh Kudus mencegah mereka untuk memberitakan Injil di Asia.
7 They arrived at the border of Mysia [province] and they wanted to go [north] Bithynia [province]. But [again] the Spirit of Jesus showed them that they should not [go there].
Dan setibanya di Misia mereka mencoba masuk ke daerah Bitinia, tetapi Roh Yesus tidak mengizinkan mereka.
8 So they went through Mysia [province] and arrived at Troas, a [port city. I, Luke, joined them there].
Setelah melintasi Misia, mereka sampai di Troas.
9 That night [God gave] Paul a vision in which he saw a man [who was a native] of Macedonia [province]. He was standing [some distance away], and he was earnestly calling to Paul, “[Please] come over [here] to Macedonia and help us!”
Pada malam harinya tampaklah oleh Paulus suatu penglihatan: ada seorang Makedonia berdiri di situ dan berseru kepadanya, katanya: "Menyeberanglah ke mari dan tolonglah kami!"
10 [The next morning] we [(exc)] immediately got ready to go to Macedonia, because we believed that God had called us to [go and] preach the good message to the people there.
Setelah Paulus melihat penglihatan itu, segeralah kami mencari kesempatan untuk berangkat ke Makedonia, karena dari penglihatan itu kami menarik kesimpulan, bahwa Allah telah memanggil kami untuk memberitakan Injil kepada orang-orang di sana.
11 So we [(exc)] got on a ship in Troas and sailed across [the sea] Samothrace [Island. We spent the night there], and the next day [we sailed again across the sea and arrived] at Neapolis [port/town].
Lalu kami bertolak dari Troas dan langsung berlayar ke Samotrake, dan keesokan harinya tibalah kami di Neapolis;
12 Then we [left Neapolis and] went [by land] to Philippi. It was a very important city in Macedonia [province, where many] Roman citizens lived. We stayed in Philippi several days.
dari situ kami ke Filipi, kota pertama di bagian Makedonia ini, suatu kota perantauan orang Roma. Di kota itu kami tinggal beberapa hari.
13 On the first (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [after we(exc) arrived], we went outside the city gate [down] to the river. We had heard [someone say] that [Jewish] people gathered to pray there. [When we arrived there, we saw] some women who had gathered [to pray]. So we sat down and began to tell them [the message about Jesus].
Pada hari Sabat kami ke luar pintu gerbang kota. Kami menyusur tepi sungai dan menemukan tempat sembahyang Yahudi, yang sudah kami duga ada di situ; setelah duduk, kami berbicara kepada perempuan-perempuan yang ada berkumpul di situ.
14 A woman whose name was Lydia was one of those who were listening [to Paul. She was a non-Jewish woman], from Thyatira [city, who bought and] sold [expensive] purple cloth. She had accepted what the Jews believe about God. The Lord [God] caused her to pay attention to the message that Paul preached, and she believed it. [The members of her household also heard the good message and believed in Jesus] [MTY].
Seorang dari perempuan-perempuan itu yang bernama Lidia turut mendengarkan. Ia seorang penjual kain ungu dari kota Tiatira, yang beribadah kepada Allah. Tuhan membuka hatinya, sehingga ia memperhatikan apa yang dikatakan oleh Paulus.
15 After [Paul and Silas] baptized Lydia and the others who lived in her house [MTY] {After Lydia and the others who lived in her house were baptized}, she invited us to [go and stay in] her home. She said, “You [(pl)] know that I [now] believe in the Lord [Jesus], so [please] come and stay in my house.” She persuaded us [to do that, so we(exc) stayed there].
Sesudah ia dibaptis bersama-sama dengan seisi rumahnya, ia mengajak kami, katanya: "Jika kamu berpendapat, bahwa aku sungguh-sungguh percaya kepada Tuhan, marilah menumpang di rumahku." Ia mendesak sampai kami menerimanya.
16 Another day, while we [(exc)] were going to the place where people regularly gathered to pray, we met a young woman who was a slave. An evil spirit was enabling her to be a ventriloquist and to tell people what would happen [to them]. People paid a lot of money to [the men who were] her owners, in return for her telling them things that [she said] would happen [to them].
Pada suatu kali ketika kami pergi ke tempat sembahyang itu, kami bertemu dengan seorang hamba perempuan yang mempunyai roh tenung; dengan tenungan-tenungannya tuan-tuannya memperoleh penghasilan besar.
17 This young woman followed Paul and the rest of us. She continually shouted, “These men serve the God who is the greatest [of all gods]! They are telling you how ([God] can save you [so that he will not punish you/to be] saved)”
Ia mengikuti Paulus dan kami dari belakang sambil berseru, katanya: "Orang-orang ini adalah hamba Allah Yang Mahatinggi. Mereka memberitakan kepadamu jalan kepada keselamatan."
18 She continued to do that for many days. Finally Paul became irritated. So he turned [toward the young woman] and rebuked the evil spirit [that was in her. He said], “By the authority [MTY] of Jesus Christ, I command you [(sg)] to come out of this young woman!” Right away the evil spirit left her.
Hal itu dilakukannya beberapa hari lamanya. Tetapi ketika Paulus tidak tahan lagi akan gangguan itu, ia berpaling dan berkata kepada roh itu: "Demi nama Yesus Kristus aku menyuruh engkau keluar dari perempuan ini." Seketika itu juga keluarlah roh itu.
19 And then her owners realized that she could no longer earn money for them [because she could no longer predict what would happen to people, so they were angry]. They grabbed Paul and Silas and forcefully took them to the public square, to [the place where] the government authorities and [a lot of other people were gathered].
Ketika tuan-tuan perempuan itu melihat, bahwa harapan mereka akan mendapat penghasilan lenyap, mereka menangkap Paulus dan Silas, lalu menyeret mereka ke pasar untuk menghadap penguasa.
20 The owners [of the young woman] brought Paul and Silas to the city officials and told them, “These men are Jews, and they are greatly troubling [the people in] [MTY] our city.
Setelah mereka membawa keduanya menghadap pembesar-pembesar kota itu, berkatalah mereka, katanya: "Orang-orang ini mengacau kota kita ini, karena mereka orang Yahudi,
21 They are teaching that we [(inc)] should follow customs that our laws do not allow us Romans to consider [to be correct] or to obey!”
dan mereka mengajarkan adat istiadat, yang kita sebagai orang Rum tidak boleh menerimanya atau menurutinya."
22 Many of the crowd joined [those who were accusing] Paul and Silas, and started beating them. Then the [Roman] authorities commanded [soldiers] to tear the shirts off Paul and Silas and to beat them [with rods/sticks].
Juga orang banyak bangkit menentang mereka. Lalu pembesar-pembesar kota itu menyuruh mengoyakkan pakaian dari tubuh mereka dan mendera mereka.
23 [So the soldiers] beat Paul and Silas vigorously [with rods]. After that, they [took them and] shoved them into the prison. They told the jailer that he should lock them up securely.
Setelah mereka berkali-kali didera, mereka dilemparkan ke dalam penjara. Kepala penjara diperintahkan untuk menjaga mereka dengan sungguh-sungguh.
24 [Because the officials] had [commanded] him [to do that], the jailer shoved Paul and Silas into the cell that was farthest inside. [There, he made them sit down on the floor/ground and stretch out their legs]. Then he fastened their ankles in [grooves] between two large wooden beams, [so that Paul and Silas could not move their legs].
Sesuai dengan perintah itu, kepala penjara memasukkan mereka ke ruang penjara yang paling tengah dan membelenggu kaki mereka dalam pasungan yang kuat.
25 About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying [aloud] and praising God by singing hymns. The [other] prisoners were listening attentively to them.
Tetapi kira-kira tengah malam Paulus dan Silas berdoa dan menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada Allah dan orang-orang hukuman lain mendengarkan mereka.
26 Suddenly there was a very strong earthquake. It shook the entire jail [SYN] and its foundation [SYN]. [The earthquake caused] all the doors [of the jail] to open suddenly, and [caused] all the chains that fastened the prisoners to fall off.
Akan tetapi terjadilah gempa bumi yang hebat, sehingga sendi-sendi penjara itu goyah; dan seketika itu juga terbukalah semua pintu dan terlepaslah belenggu mereka semua.
27 The jailer woke up and saw that the doors of the jail were open. He thought that the prisoners had escaped. So he pulled out his sword in order to kill himself, [because he knew that the officials would kill him if the prisoners escaped].
Ketika kepala penjara itu terjaga dari tidurnya dan melihat pintu-pintu penjara terbuka, ia menghunus pedangnya hendak membunuh diri, karena ia menyangka, bahwa orang-orang hukuman itu telah melarikan diri.
28 Paul [saw the jailer and] shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We [(exc) prisoners] are all here!”
Tetapi Paulus berseru dengan suara nyaring, katanya: "Jangan celakakan dirimu, sebab kami semuanya masih ada di sini!"
29 The jailer shouted [to someone] to bring torches/lanterns, [and after they brought them], he rushed into the jail and knelt down in front of Paul and Silas. [He was very afraid, so] much so that he was trembling/shaking.
Kepala penjara itu menyuruh membawa suluh, lalu berlari masuk dan dengan gemetar tersungkurlah ia di depan Paulus dan Silas.
30 Then he brought Paul and Silas out [of the jail] and asked: “Sirs, what do I need to do to be saved [from being punished for my sins]?”
Ia mengantar mereka ke luar, sambil berkata: "Tuan-tuan, apakah yang harus aku perbuat, supaya aku selamat?"
31 [They answered], “Trust in [what] the Lord Jesus [has done for you], and you will be saved {[God] will save you}, and the others who live in [MTY] your house will [also] be saved [if they believe in Jesus].”
Jawab mereka: "Percayalah kepada Tuhan Yesus Kristus dan engkau akan selamat, engkau dan seisi rumahmu."
32 Then the jailer took Paul and Silas into his house, washed their wounds, and gave them a meal. [He woke up all the people in his house, and] Paul and Silas told all of them the message about the Lord [Jesus. They all believed in him]. Immediately [after that, the jailer and all his family were baptized] {[Paul and Silas] baptized the jailer and all his family}. They were very happy, because now they all believed in God.
Lalu mereka memberitakan firman Tuhan kepadanya dan kepada semua orang yang ada di rumahnya.
Pada jam itu juga kepala penjara itu membawa mereka dan membasuh bilur mereka. Seketika itu juga ia dan keluarganya memberi diri dibaptis.
Lalu ia membawa mereka ke rumahnya dan menghidangkan makanan kepada mereka. Dan ia sangat bergembira, bahwa ia dan seisi rumahnya telah menjadi percaya kepada Allah.
35 The next morning, the [Roman] officials commanded [some] police officers [to go to the jail to say to the jailer], “[Our bosses] say, ‘Let those [two] prisoners go [now]!’”
Setelah hari siang pembesar-pembesar kota menyuruh pejabat-pejabat kota pergi kepada kepala penjara dengan pesan: "Lepaskanlah kedua orang itu!"
36 [After the officers went and told that to] the jailer, he [went and] told Paul, “The [Roman] authorities have sent a message [(sg)] saying that I should release you [(sg)] and Silas [from prison]. So you [two] can leave [the jail] now. Now you can go peacefully!”
Kepala penjara meneruskan pesan itu kepada Paulus, katanya: "Pembesar-pembesar kota telah menyuruh melepaskan kamu; jadi keluarlah kamu sekarang dan pergilah dengan selamat!"
37 But Paul said to the police officers, “The authorities [commanded men to] beat us in front of a crowd before [those authorities] had learned if we [(exc)] had done anything wrong! Then they [ordered men to] shove us into jail! [But that was not legal, because] we [(exc)] are Roman citizens! And now they want [RHQ] to send us away secretly! We will not accept that! Those [Roman] officials must come themselves and [tell us that they are sorry], and take us out [of jail].”
Tetapi Paulus berkata kepada orang-orang itu: "Tanpa diadili mereka telah mendera kami, warganegara-warganegara Roma, di muka umum, lalu melemparkan kami ke dalam penjara. Sekarang mereka mau mengeluarkan kami dengan diam-diam? Tidak mungkin demikian! Biarlah mereka datang sendiri dan membawa kami ke luar."
38 So the police officers [went and] told the city authorities [what Paul had said]. When those authorities heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid [that someone would report to more important officials what they had done, and as a result they would be punished] {[those officials would punish them]}.
Pejabat-pejabat itu menyampaikan perkataan itu kepada pembesar-pembesar kota. Ketika mereka mendengar, bahwa Paulus dan Silas adalah orang Rum, maka takutlah mereka.
39 So the city authorities came to Paul and Silas and told them that they were sorry for what they had done to them. The authorities brought them out of the jail, and repeatedly asked them to leave the city [soon].
Mereka datang minta maaf lalu membawa kedua rasul itu ke luar dan memohon, supaya mereka meninggalkan kota itu.
40 After Paul and Silas left the jail, they went to Lydia’s house. There they met with her and the [other] believers. They encouraged the believers [to continue trusting in the Lord Jesus], and then the two apostles left [Philippi].
Lalu mereka meninggalkan penjara itu dan pergi ke rumah Lidia; dan setelah bertemu dengan saudara-saudara di situ dan menghiburkan mereka, berangkatlah kedua rasul itu.
