The Conversion of Saul
1Sementara itu berkobar-kobar hati Saulus untuk mengancam dan membunuh murid-murid Tuhan. Ia menghadap Imam Besar, 2dan meminta surat kuasa dari padanya untuk dibawa kepada majelis-majelis Yahudi di Damsyik, supaya, jika ia menemukan laki-laki atau perempuan yang mengikuti Jalan Tuhan, ia menangkap mereka dan membawa mereka ke Yerusalem. 3Dalam perjalanannya ke Damsyik, ketika ia sudah dekat kota itu, tiba-tiba cahaya memancar dari langit mengelilingi dia. 4Ia rebah ke tanah dan kedengaranlah olehnya suatu suara yang berkata kepadanya: "Saulus, Saulus, mengapakah engkau menganiaya Aku ?" 5Jawab Saulus: "Siapakah Engkau, Tuhan ?" Kata-Nya: "Akulah Yesus yang kauaniaya itu. 6Tetapi bangunlah dan pergilah ke dalam kota, di sana akan dikatakan kepadamu, apa yang harus kauperbuat." 7Maka termangu-mangulah teman-temannya seperjalanan, karena mereka memang mendengar suara itu, tetapi tidak melihat seorang jugapun. 8Saulus bangun dan berdiri, lalu membuka matanya, tetapi ia tidak dapat melihat apa-apa; mereka harus menuntun dia masuk ke Damsyik. 9Tiga hari lamanya ia tidak dapat melihat dan tiga hari lamanya ia tidak makan dan minum.
1Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, 2and asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them in shackles to Jerusalem. 3Now as he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; 4and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” 5And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, 6but get up and enter the city, and it will be told to you what you must do.” 7The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. 8Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; and leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus. 9And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Saul Begins to Preach Christ
10Di Damsyik ada seorang murid Tuhan bernama Ananias. Firman Tuhan kepadanya dalam suatu penglihatan: "Ananias !" Jawabnya: "Ini aku, Tuhan !" 11Firman Tuhan: "Mari, pergilah ke jalan yang bernama Jalan Lurus, dan carilah di rumah Yudas seorang dari Tarsus yang bernama Saulus. Ia sekarang berdoa, 12dan dalam suatu penglihatan ia melihat, bahwa seorang yang bernama Ananias masuk ke dalam dan menumpangkan tangannya ke atasnya, supaya ia dapat melihat lagi." 13Jawab Ananias: "Tuhan, dari banyak orang telah kudengar tentang orang itu, betapa banyaknya kejahatan yang dilakukannya terhadap orang-orang kudus-Mu di Yerusalem. 14Dan ia datang ke mari dengan kuasa penuh dari imam-imam kepala untuk menangkap semua orang yang memanggil nama-Mu." 15Tetapi firman Tuhan kepadanya: "Pergilah, sebab orang ini adalah alat pilihan bagi-Ku untuk memberitakan nama-Ku kepada bangsa-bangsa lain serta raja-raja dan orang-orang Israel. 16Aku sendiri akan menunjukkan kepadanya, betapa banyak penderitaan yang harus ia tanggung oleh karena nama-Ku." 17Lalu pergilah Ananias ke situ dan masuk ke rumah itu. Ia menumpangkan tangannya ke atas Saulus, katanya: "Saulus, saudaraku, Tuhan Yesus, yang telah menampakkan diri kepadamu di jalan yang engkau lalui, telah menyuruh aku kepadamu, supaya engkau dapat melihat lagi dan penuh dengan Roh Kudus." 18Dan seketika itu juga seolah-olah selaput gugur dari matanya, sehingga ia dapat melihat lagi. Ia bangun lalu dibaptis. 19Dan setelah ia makan, pulihlah kekuatannya. Saulus tinggal beberapa hari bersama-sama dengan murid-murid di Damsyik. 20Ketika itu juga ia memberitakan Yesus di rumah-rumah ibadat, dan mengatakan bahwa Yesus adalah Anak Allah. 21Semua orang yang mendengar hal itu heran dan berkata: "Bukankah dia ini yang di Yerusalem mau membinasakan barangsiapa yang memanggil nama Yesus ini ? Dan bukankah ia datang ke sini dengan maksud untuk menangkap dan membawa mereka ke hadapan imam-imam kepala ?" 22Akan tetapi Saulus semakin besar pengaruhnya dan ia membingungkan orang-orang Yahudi yang tinggal di Damsyik, karena ia membuktikan, bahwa Yesus adalah Mesias.
10Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.” 11And the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying, 12and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.” 13But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints in Jerusalem; 14and here he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.” 15But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; 16for I will show him how much he must suffer in behalf of My name.” 17So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” 18And immediately something like fish scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; 19and he took food and was strengthened.Now for several days he was with the disciples who were in Damascus, 20and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.” 21All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, “Is this not the one who in Jerusalem destroyed those who called on this name, and had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?” 22But Saul kept increasing in strength and confounding Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that this Jesus is the Christ.
23Beberapa hari kemudian orang Yahudi merundingkan suatu rencana untuk membunuh Saulus. 24Tetapi maksud jahat itu diketahui oleh Saulus. Siang malam orang-orang Yahudi mengawal semua pintu gerbang kota, supaya dapat membunuh dia. 25Sungguhpun demikian pada suatu malam murid-muridnya mengambilnya dan menurunkannya dari atas tembok kota dalam sebuah keranjang.
23When many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted together to do away with him, 24but their plot became known to Saul. They were also closely watching the gates day and night so that they might put him to death; 25but his disciples took him at night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a large basket.
26Setibanya di Yerusalem Saulus mencoba menggabungkan diri kepada murid-murid, tetapi semuanya takut kepadanya, karena mereka tidak dapat percaya, bahwa ia juga seorang murid. 27Tetapi Barnabas menerima dia dan membawanya kepada rasul-rasul dan menceriterakan kepada mereka, bagaimana Saulus melihat Tuhan di tengah jalan dan bahwa Tuhan berbicara dengan dia dan bagaimana keberaniannya mengajar di Damsyik dalam nama Yesus. 28Dan Saulus tetap bersama-sama dengan mereka di Yerusalem, dan dengan keberanian mengajar dalam nama Tuhan. 29Ia juga berbicara dan bersoal jawab dengan orang-orang Yahudi yang berbahasa Yunani, tetapi mereka itu berusaha membunuh dia. 30Akan tetapi setelah hal itu diketahui oleh saudara-saudara anggota jemaat, mereka membawa dia ke Kaisarea dan dari situ membantu dia ke Tarsus.
26When he came to Jerusalem, he tried repeatedly to associate with the disciples; and yet they were all afraid of him, as they did not believe that he was a disciple. 27But Barnabas took hold of him and brought him to the apostles and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had talked to him, and how he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus at Damascus. 28And he was with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem, speaking out boldly in the name of the Lord. 29And he was talking and arguing with the Hellenistic Jews; but they were attempting to put him to death. 30Now when the brothers learned of it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
31Selama beberapa waktu jemaat di seluruh Yudea, Galilea dan Samaria berada dalam keadaan damai. Jemaat itu dibangun dan hidup dalam takut akan Tuhan. Jumlahnya makin bertambah besar oleh pertolongan dan penghiburan Roh Kudus.
31So the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria enjoyed peace, as it was being built up; and as it continued in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it kept increasing.
Peter’s Ministry
32Pada waktu itu Petrus berjalan keliling, mengadakan kunjungan ke mana-mana. Dalam perjalanan itu ia singgah juga kepada orang-orang kudus yang di Lida. 33Di situ didapatinya seorang bernama Eneas, yang telah delapan tahun terbaring di tempat tidur karena lumpuh. 34Kata Petrus kepadanya: "Eneas, Yesus Kristus menyembuhkan engkau; bangunlah dan bereskanlah tempat tidurmu !" Seketika itu juga bangunlah orang itu. 35Semua penduduk Lida dan Saron melihat dia, lalu mereka berbalik kepada Tuhan.
32Now as Peter was traveling through all those regions, he also came down to the saints who lived at Lydda. 33There he found a man named Aeneas who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed. 34Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your own bed.” Immediately he got up. 35And all who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36Di Yope ada seorang murid perempuan bernama Tabita -- dalam bahasa Yunani Dorkas. Perempuan itu banyak sekali berbuat baik dan memberi sedekah. 37Tetapi pada waktu itu ia sakit lalu meninggal. Dan setelah dimandikan, mayatnya dibaringkan di ruang atas. 38Lida dekat dengan Yope. Ketika murid-murid mendengar, bahwa Petrus ada di Lida, mereka menyuruh dua orang kepadanya dengan permintaan: "Segeralah datang ke tempat kami." 39Maka berkemaslah Petrus dan berangkat bersama-sama dengan mereka. Setelah sampai di sana, ia dibawa ke ruang atas dan semua janda datang berdiri dekatnya dan sambil menangis mereka menunjukkan kepadanya semua baju dan pakaian, yang dibuat Dorkas waktu ia masih hidup. 40Tetapi Petrus menyuruh mereka semua keluar, lalu ia berlutut dan berdoa. Kemudian ia berpaling ke mayat itu dan berkata: "Tabita, bangkitlah !" Lalu Tabita membuka matanya dan ketika melihat Petrus, ia bangun lalu duduk. 41Petrus memegang tangannya dan membantu dia berdiri. Kemudian ia memanggil orang-orang kudus beserta janda-janda, lalu menunjukkan kepada mereka, bahwa perempuan itu hidup. 42Peristiwa itu tersiar di seluruh Yope dan banyak orang menjadi percaya kepada Tuhan. 43Kemudian dari pada itu Petrus tinggal beberapa hari di Yope, di rumah seorang yang bernama Simon, seorang penyamak kulit.
36Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which when translated means Dorcas); this woman was excelling in acts of kindness and charity which she did habitually. 37But it happened at that time that she became sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upstairs room. 38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Do not delay in coming to us.” 39So Peter got ready and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the room upstairs; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. 40But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 42It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43And Peter stayed in Joppa many days with a tanner named Simon.
