Kisah Para Rasul 16

¹Paulus 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.

¹Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek.

²Timotius ini dikenal baik oleh saudara-saudara di Listra dan di Ikonium,

²He was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium.

³dan 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.

³Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

⁴Dalam 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.

⁴As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.

⁵Demikianlah jemaat-jemaat diteguhkan dalam iman dan makin lama makin bertambah besar jumlahnya.

⁵So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and they increased in numbers daily.

⁶Mereka melintasi tanah Frigia dan tanah Galatia, karena Roh Kudus mencegah mereka untuk memberitakan Injil di Asia.

⁶And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

⁷Dan setibanya di Misia mereka mencoba masuk ke daerah Bitinia, tetapi Roh Yesus tidak mengizinkan mereka.

⁷And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

⁸Setelah melintasi Misia, mereka sampai di Troas.

⁸So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.

⁹Pada malam harinya tampaklah oleh Paulus suatu penglihatan: ada seorang Makedonia berdiri di situ dan berseru kepadanya, katanya: "Menyeberanglah ke mari dan tolonglah kami!"

⁹And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

¹⁰Setelah 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.

¹⁰And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

¹¹Lalu kami bertolak dari Troas dan langsung berlayar ke Samotrake, dan keesokan harinya tibalah kami di Neapolis;

¹¹So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,

¹²dari situ kami ke Filipi, kota pertama di bagian Makedonia ini, suatu kota perantauan orang Roma. Di kota itu kami tinggal beberapa hari.

¹²and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days.

¹³Pada 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.

¹³And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

¹⁴Seorang 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.

¹⁴One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.

¹⁵Sesudah 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.

¹⁵And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

¹⁶Pada 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.

¹⁶As we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by fortune-telling.

¹⁷Ia mengikuti Paulus dan kami dari belakang sambil berseru, katanya: "Orang-orang ini adalah hamba Allah Yang Mahatinggi. Mereka memberitakan kepadamu jalan kepada keselamatan."

¹⁷She followed Paul and us, crying out, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."

¹⁸Hal 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.

¹⁸And this she kept doing for many days. Paul, having become greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour.

¹⁹Ketika 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.

¹⁹But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

²⁰Setelah mereka membawa keduanya menghadap pembesar-pembesar kota itu, berkatalah mereka, katanya: "Orang-orang ini mengacau kota kita ini, karena mereka orang Yahudi,

²⁰And when they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men are Jews, and they are disturbing our city.

²¹dan mereka mengajarkan adat istiadat, yang kita sebagai orang Rum tidak boleh menerimanya atau menurutinya."

²¹They advocate customs that are not lawful for us as Romans to accept or practice."

²²Juga orang banyak bangkit menentang mereka. Lalu pembesar-pembesar kota itu menyuruh mengoyakkan pakaian dari tubuh mereka dan mendera mereka.

²²The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods.

²³Setelah mereka berkali-kali didera, mereka dilemparkan ke dalam penjara. Kepala penjara diperintahkan untuk menjaga mereka dengan sungguh-sungguh.

²³And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them safely.

²⁴Sesuai dengan perintah itu, kepala penjara memasukkan mereka ke ruang penjara yang paling tengah dan membelenggu kaki mereka dalam pasungan yang kuat.

²⁴Having received this order, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

²⁵Tetapi kira-kira tengah malam Paulus dan Silas berdoa dan menyanyikan puji-pujian kepada Allah dan orang-orang hukuman lain mendengarkan mereka.

²⁵About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,

²⁶Akan tetapi terjadilah gempa bumi yang hebat, sehingga sendi-sendi penjara itu goyah; dan seketika itu juga terbukalah semua pintu dan terlepaslah belenggu mereka semua.

²⁶and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.

²⁷Ketika 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.

²⁷When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

²⁸Tetapi Paulus berseru dengan suara nyaring, katanya: "Jangan celakakan dirimu, sebab kami semuanya masih ada di sini!"

²⁸But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."

²⁹Kepala penjara itu menyuruh membawa suluh, lalu berlari masuk dan dengan gemetar tersungkurlah ia di depan Paulus dan Silas.

²⁹And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.

³⁰Ia mengantar mereka ke luar, sambil berkata: "Tuan-tuan, apakah yang harus aku perbuat, supaya aku selamat?"

³⁰Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"

³¹Jawab mereka: "Percayalah kepada Tuhan Yesus Kristus dan engkau akan selamat, engkau dan seisi rumahmu."

³¹And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."

³²Lalu mereka memberitakan firman Tuhan kepadanya dan kepada semua orang yang ada di rumahnya.

³²And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

³³Pada jam itu juga kepala penjara itu membawa mereka dan membasuh bilur mereka. Seketika itu juga ia dan keluarganya memberi diri dibaptis.

³³And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.

³⁴Lalu ia membawa mereka ke rumahnya dan menghidangkan makanan kepada mereka. Dan ia sangat bergembira, bahwa ia dan seisi rumahnya telah menjadi percaya kepada Allah.

³⁴Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God.

³⁵Setelah hari siang pembesar-pembesar kota menyuruh pejabat-pejabat kota pergi kepada kepala penjara dengan pesan: "Lepaskanlah kedua orang itu!"

³⁵But when it was day, the magistrates sent the police, saying, "Let those men go."

³⁶Kepala penjara meneruskan pesan itu kepada Paulus, katanya: "Pembesar-pembesar kota telah menyuruh melepaskan kamu; jadi keluarlah kamu sekarang dan pergilah dengan selamat!"

³⁶And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go. Therefore come out now and go in peace."

³⁷Tetapi 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."

³⁷But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and do they now throw us out secretly? No! Let them come themselves and take us out."

³⁸Pejabat-pejabat itu menyampaikan perkataan itu kepada pembesar-pembesar kota. Ketika mereka mendengar, bahwa Paulus dan Silas adalah orang Rum, maka takutlah mereka.

³⁸The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens.

³⁹Mereka datang minta maaf lalu membawa kedua rasul itu ke luar dan memohon, supaya mereka meninggalkan kota itu.

³⁹So they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city.

⁴⁰Lalu mereka meninggalkan penjara itu dan pergi ke rumah Lidia; dan setelah bertemu dengan saudara-saudara di situ dan menghiburkan mereka, berangkatlah kedua rasul itu.

⁴⁰So they went out of the prison and visited Lydia. And when they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them and departed.
