Acts 1
1 My former narrative, Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus did and taught as a beginning, down to the day on which,
Theophilus yang terhormat, dalam bukuku yang pertama, aku menulis tentang semua yang Yesus lakukan dan ajarkan sejak dari awal pelayanan-Nya
2 after giving instruction through the Holy Spirit to the Apostles whom He had chosen, He was taken up to Heaven.
sampai pada hari Dia naik ke surga. Hal ini terjadi ketika Dia sudah memberikan instruksi melalui Roh Kudus kepada rasul-rasul pilihan-Nya.
3 He had also, after He suffered, shown Himself alive to them with many sure proofs, appearing to them at intervals during forty days, and speaking of the Kingdom of God.
Selama 40 hari sesudah kematian yang Dia alami, Dia menunjukkan diri-Nya kepada mereka, membuktikan bahwa Dia hidup dengan bukti yang meyakinkan. Dia muncul di hadapan mereka, dan memberitahu mereka tentang Kerajaan Allah.
4 And while in their company He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the Father's promised gift. "This you have heard of," He said, "from me.
Sementara Yesus masih bersama mereka, Dia memberi mereka perintah, “Janganlah meninggalkan Yerusalem. Tunggulah sampai kalian menerima apa yang dijanjikan oleh Bapa di surga, seperti yang kalian dengar dari pada-Ku.
5 For John indeed baptized with water, but before many days have passed you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
Benar bahwa Yohanes membaptis kalian dengan air, tetapi dalam beberapa hari ke depan, kalian akan dibaptis oleh Roh Kudus.”
6 Once when they were with Him, they asked Him, "Master, is this the time at which you are about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
Jadi ketika para murid bertemu dengan Yesus, bertanyalah mereka, “Tuhan, apakah sekarang saatnya Engkau mendirikan kembali kerajaan Israel?”
7 "It is not for you," He replied, "to know times or epochs which the Father has reserved within His own authority;
“Kalian tidak perlu tahu tentang tanggal dan masa yang sudah ditetapkan oleh Bapa sesuai dengan otoritasnya,” kata Yesus kepada mereka.
8 and yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judaea and Samaria and to the remotest parts of the earth."
“Tetapi kalian akan diberikan kuasa ketika Roh Kudus turun ke atas kalian, dan kalian akan menjadi saksi-Ku di Yerusalem, di seluruh Yudea dan Samaria, dan sampai ke tempat yang paling jauh di muka bumi.”
9 When He had said this, and while they were looking at Him, He was carried up, and a cloud closing beneath Him hid Him from their sight.
Sesudah Yesus menyampaikan semua ini kepada mereka, Dia naik ke surga sementara mereka semua memperhatikan Dia, dan ada awan yang menutupi Dia dari pandangan mereka.
10 But, while they stood intently gazing into the sky as He went, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
Sementara mereka masih menatap dengan seksama ke arah langit ketika Yesus naik, dua orang yang berpakaian putih tiba-tiba berdiri di sisi mereka.
11 who said, "Galilaeans, why stand looking into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into Heaven will come in just the same way as you have seen Him going into Heaven."
“Hai orang-orang Galilea, mengapa kalian berdiri di sini sambil menatap langit?” tanya mereka. “Yesus yang sama yang naik ke surga akan datang dengan cara yang sama kalian melihat Dia naik.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called the Oliveyard, which is near Jerusalem, about a mile off.
Lalu para murid kembali ke Yerusalem dari Bukit Zaitun yang jaraknya kira-kira satu kilometer dari kota itu.
13 They entered the city, and they went up to the upper room which was now their fixed place for meeting. Their names were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the brother of James.
Ketika mereka tiba, naiklah mereka ke ruangan atas tempat mereka tinggal: Petrus, Yohanes, Yakobus dan Andreas, Filipus dan Tomas, Bartolomeus dan Matius, Yakobus anak Alfeus, Simon orang Zelot, serta Yudas anak Yakobus.
14 All of these with one mind continued earnest in prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and His brothers.
Mereka semua bersatu dalam doa, bersama dengan para perempuan, dan juga Maria, ibu Yesus, beserta dengan saudara-saudara-Nya.
15 It was on one of these days that Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren--the entire number of persons present being about 120--and said,
Pada waktu ini, Petrus berdiri dan menyapa sekitar 120 orang percaya yang sedang berkumpul bersama.
16 "Brethren, it was necessary that the Scripture should be fulfilled--the prediction, I mean, which the Holy Spirit uttered by the lips of David, about Judas, who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
“Saudara dan saudariku,” katanya, “Kitab Suci, yang dikatakan oleh Roh Kudus melalui Daud, sudah tergenapi mengenai Yudas, yang memimpin mereka untuk menangkap Yesus.
17 For Judas was reckoned as one of our number, and a share in this ministry was allotted to him."
Dia tadinya terhitung sebagai salah satu di antara kami, dan berbagi dalam pelayanan ini.”
18 (Now having bought a piece of ground with the money paid for his wickedness he fell there with his face downwards, and, his body bursting open, he became disembowelled.
(Yudas membeli sebidang tanah dari uang kejatahannya. Di tempat itu dia terjatuh dengan kepala terlebih dahulu, dan seluruh tubuhnya terbelah, sehingga isi perutnya tertumpah keluar.
19 This fact became widely known to the people of Jerusalem, so that the place received the name, in their language, of Achel-damach, which means 'The Field of Blood.')
Setiap orang yang hidup di Yerusalem mendengar tentang hal ini sehingga tanah itu dinamakan “Akeldama,” yang berarti, “Tanah darah.”)
20 "For it is written in the Book of Psalms, "'Let his encampment be desolate: let there be no one to dwell there'; and "'His work let another take up.'
Seperti yang tertulis dalam kitab Mazmur, “Biarlah rumahnya ditinggalkan, dan tidak seorangpun yang hidup di sana,” dan “Biarlah orang lain yang akan mengambil posisinya.”
21 "It is necessary, therefore, that of the men who have been with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--
“Jadi sekarang kita harus memilih seseorang di antara kita yang sudah bersama-sama dengan kita sepanjang waktu ketika Yesus sudah bersama dengan kita,
22 beginning from His baptism by John down to the day on which He was taken up again from us into Heaven--one should be appointed to become a witness with us as to His resurrection."
mulai dari ketika Yohanes membaptis sampai pada hari Yesus naik ke surga dari kita. Salah seorang dari mereka ini haruslah dipilih untuk bersama-sama dengan kami sebagai saksi, memberi bukti akan kebangkitan Yesus.”
23 So two names were proposed, Joseph called Bar-sabbas--and surnamed Justus--and Matthias.
Akhirnya terpilihlah dua nama: Yusuf Yustus, atau Barsabas, dan Matias.
24 And the brethren prayed, saying, "Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, show clearly which of these two Thou hast chosen
Mereka semua berdoa bersama, “Tuhan, Engkau tahu pikiran setiap kami, tolong tunjukkan siapa dari antara kedua orang ini yang Engkau pilih
25 to occupy the place in this ministry and Apostleship from which Judas through transgression fell, in order to go to his own place."
untuk menggantikan posisi Yudas sebagai salah seorang rasul dalam pelayanan ini, yang sudah ditinggalkannya untuk pergi ke tempat yang sepantasnya untuk dia.”
26 Then they drew lots between them. The lot fell on Matthias, and a place among the eleven Apostles was voted to him.
Mereka lalu membuang undi, dan Matias yang terpilih. Dia terhitung sebagai salah satu rasul bersama dengan kesebelas rasul lainnya.
