Safe at Malta
1Setelah kami tiba dengan selamat di pantai, barulah kami tahu, bahwa daratan itu adalah pulau Malta. 2Penduduk pulau itu sangat ramah terhadap kami. Mereka menyalakan api besar dan mengajak kami semua ke situ karena telah mulai hujan dan hawanya dingin. 3Ketika Paulus memungut seberkas ranting-ranting dan meletakkannya di atas api, keluarlah seekor ular beludak karena panasnya api itu, lalu menggigit tangannya. 4Ketika orang-orang itu melihat ular itu terpaut pada tangan Paulus, mereka berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Orang ini sudah pasti seorang pembunuh, sebab, meskipun ia telah luput dari laut, ia tidak dibiarkan hidup oleh Dewi Keadilan." 5Tetapi Paulus mengibaskan ular itu ke dalam api, dan ia sama sekali tidak menderita sesuatu. 6Namun mereka menyangka, bahwa ia akan bengkak atau akan mati rebah seketika itu juga. Tetapi sesudah lama menanti-nanti, mereka melihat, bahwa tidak ada apa-apa yang terjadi padanya, maka sebaliknya mereka berpendapat, bahwa ia seorang dewa.
1When they had been brought safely through, then we found out that the island was called Malta. 2The natives showed us extraordinary kindness, for they kindled a fire and took us all in because of the rain that had started and because of the cold. 3But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand. 4When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, “Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live.” 5However, Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm. 6Now they were expecting that he was going to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had waited a long time and had seen nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and began to say that he was a god.
7Tidak jauh dari tempat itu ada tanah milik gubernur pulau itu. Gubernur itu namanya Publius. Ia menyambut kami dan menjamu kami dengan ramahnya selama tiga hari. 8Ketika itu ayah Publius terbaring karena sakit demam dan disentri. Paulus masuk ke kamarnya; ia berdoa serta menumpangkan tangan ke atasnya dan menyembuhkan dia. 9Sesudah peristiwa itu datanglah juga orang-orang sakit lain dari pulau itu dan merekapun disembuhkan juga. 10Mereka sangat menghormati kami dan ketika kami bertolak, mereka menyediakan segala sesuatu yang kami perlukan.
7Now in the neighboring parts of that place were lands belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us warmly for three days. 8And it happened that the father of Publius was lying in bed afflicted with a recurring fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after he prayed, he laid his hands on him and healed him. 9After this happened, the rest of the people on the island who had diseases were coming to him and being cured. 10They also showed us many honors, and when we were about to set sail, they supplied us with everything we needed.
Paul Arrives in Rome
11Tiga bulan kemudian kami berangkat dari situ naik sebuah kapal dari Aleksandria yang selama musim dingin berlabuh di pulau itu. Kapal itu memakai lambang Dioskuri. 12Kami singgah di Sirakusa dan tinggal di situ tiga hari lamanya. 13Dari situ kami menyusur pantai, lalu sampai ke Regium. Sehari kemudian bertiuplah angin selatan dan pada hari kedua sampailah kami di Putioli. 14Di situ kami berjumpa dengan anggota-anggota jemaat, dan atas undangan mereka kami tinggal tujuh hari bersama-sama mereka. Sesudah itu kami berangkat ke Roma. 15Saudara-saudara yang di sana telah mendengar tentang hal ihwal kami dan mereka datang menjumpai kami sampai ke Forum Apius dan Tres Taberne. Ketika Paulus melihat mereka, ia mengucap syukur kepada Allah lalu kuatlah hatinya.
11After three months we set sail on an Alexandrian ship which had wintered at the island, and which had the Twin Brothers for its figurehead. 12After we put in at Syracuse, we stayed there for three days. 13From there we sailed around and arrived at Rhegium, and a day later a south wind came up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli. 14There we found some brothers and sisters, and were invited to stay with them for seven days; and that is how we came to Rome. 15And from there the brothers and sisters, when they heard about us, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Inns to meet us; and when Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.
16Setelah kami tiba di Roma, Paulus diperbolehkan tinggal dalam rumah sendiri bersama-sama seorang prajurit yang mengawalnya.
16When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.
17Tiga hari kemudian Paulus memanggil orang-orang terkemuka bangsa Yahudi dan setelah mereka berkumpul, Paulus berkata: "Saudara-saudara, meskipun aku tidak berbuat kesalahan terhadap bangsa kita atau terhadap adat istiadat nenek moyang kita, namun aku ditangkap di Yerusalem dan diserahkan kepada orang-orang Roma. 18Setelah aku diperiksa, mereka bermaksud melepaskan aku, karena tidak terdapat suatu kesalahanpun padaku yang setimpal dengan hukuman mati. 19Akan tetapi orang-orang Yahudi menentangnya dan karena itu terpaksalah aku naik banding kepada Kaisar, tetapi bukan dengan maksud untuk mengadukan bangsaku. 20Itulah sebabnya aku meminta, supaya aku melihat kamu dan berbicara dengan kamu, sebab justru karena pengharapan Israellah aku diikat dengan belenggu ini." 21Akan tetapi mereka berkata kepadanya: "Kami tidak menerima surat-surat dari Yudea tentang engkau dan juga tidak seorangpun dari saudara-saudara kita datang memberitakan apa-apa yang jahat mengenai engkau. 22Tetapi kami ingin mendengar dari engkau, bagaimana pikiranmu, sebab tentang mazhab ini kami tahu, bahwa di mana-manapun ia mendapat perlawanan."
17After three days Paul called together those who were the leading men of the Jews, and when they came together, he began saying to them, “Brothers, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was handed over to the Romans as a prisoner from Jerusalem. 18“And when they had examined me, they were willing to release me because there were no grounds for putting me to death. 19“But when the Jews objected, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had any accusation against my nation. 20“For this reason, therefore, I requested to see you and to speak with you, since I am wearing this chain for the sake of the hope of Israel.” 21They said to him, “We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor has any of the brothers come here and reported or spoken anything bad about you. 22“But we desire to hear from you what your views are; for regarding this sect, it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere.”
23Lalu mereka menentukan suatu hari untuk Paulus. Pada hari yang ditentukan itu datanglah mereka dalam jumlah besar ke tempat tumpangannya. Ia menerangkan dan memberi kesaksian kepada mereka tentang Kerajaan Allah; dan berdasarkan hukum Musa dan kitab para nabi ia berusaha meyakinkan mereka tentang Yesus. Hal itu berlangsung dari pagi sampai sore. 24Ada yang dapat diyakinkan oleh perkataannya, ada yang tetap tidak percaya. 25Maka bubarlah pertemuan itu dengan tidak ada kesesuaian di antara mereka. Tetapi Paulus masih mengatakan perkataan yang satu ini: "Tepatlah firman yang disampaikan Roh Kudus kepada nenek moyang kita dengan perantaraan nabi Yesaya: 26Pergilah kepada bangsa ini, dan katakanlah: Kamu akan mendengar dan mendengar, namun tidak mengerti, kamu akan melihat dan melihat, namun tidak menanggap. 27Sebab hati bangsa ini telah menebal, dan telinganya berat mendengar, dan matanya melekat tertutup; supaya jangan mereka melihat dengan matanya dan mendengar dengan telinganya dan mengerti dengan hatinya, lalu berbalik sehingga Aku menyembuhkan mereka. 28Sebab itu kamu harus tahu, bahwa keselamatan yang dari pada Allah ini disampaikan kepada bangsa-bangsa lain dan mereka akan mendengarnya." 29(Dan setelah Paulus berkata demikian, pergilah orang-orang Yahudi itu dengan banyak perbedaan paham antara mereka.)
23When they had set a day for Paul, people came to him at his lodging in large numbers; and he was explaining to them by solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening. 24Some were being persuaded by the things said by Paul, but others would not believe. 25And when they disagreed with one another, they began leaving after Paul said one parting statement: “The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, 26saying,
‘GO TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY,
“YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, AND WILL NOT UNDERSTAND;
AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, AND WILL NOT PERCEIVE; 27FOR THE HEARTS OF THIS PEOPLE HAVE BECOME INSENSITIVE,
AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY HARDLY HEAR,
AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES;
OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT SEE WITH THEIR EYES,
AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS,
AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN,
AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.”’ 28“Therefore, let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will also listen.”
‘GO TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY,

30Dan Paulus tinggal dua tahun penuh di rumah yang disewanya sendiri itu; ia menerima semua orang yang datang kepadanya. 31Dengan terus terang dan tanpa rintangan apa-apa ia memberitakan Kerajaan Allah dan mengajar tentang Tuhan Yesus Kristus.
30Now Paul stayed two full years in his own rented lodging and welcomed all who came to him, 31preaching the kingdom of God and teaching things about the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness, unhindered.
