Kejadian 15:12-16

15:12 When the sun went down, Abram fell sound asleep, ¹  and great terror overwhelmed him. ²  15:13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain ³  that your descendants will be strangers ⁴  in a foreign country. ⁵  They will be enslaved and oppressed ⁶  for four hundred years. 15:14 But I will execute judgment on the nation that they will serve. ⁷  Afterward they will come out with many possessions. 15:15 But as for you, ⁸  you will go to your ancestors ⁹  in peace and be buried at a good old age. ¹⁰  15:16 In the fourth generation ¹¹  your descendants ¹²  will return here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit.” ¹³ 

Yosua 21:45

21:45 Not one of the Lord’s faithful promises to the family of Israel ¹⁴  was left unfulfilled; every one was realized. ¹⁵ 

Yosua 23:14-15

23:14 “Look, today I am about to die. ¹⁶  You know with all your heart and being ¹⁷  that not even one of all the faithful promises the Lord your God made to you is left unfulfilled; every one was realized – not one promise is unfulfilled! ¹⁸  23:15 But in the same way every faithful promise the Lord your God made to you has been realized, ¹⁹  it is just as certain, if you disobey, that the Lord will bring on you every judgment ²⁰  until he destroys you from this good land which the Lord your God gave you.

Yosua 23:1

Joshua Challenges Israel to be Faithful

23:1 A long time ²¹  passed after the Lord made Israel secure from all their enemies, ²²  and Joshua was very old. ²³ 

Kisah Para Rasul 8:15-20

8:15 These two ²⁴  went down and prayed for them so that they would receive the Holy Spirit. 8:16 (For the Spirit ²⁵  had not yet come upon ²⁶  any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) ²⁷  8:17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on the Samaritans, ²⁸  and they received the Holy Spirit. ²⁹ 

8:18 Now Simon, when he saw that the Spirit ³⁰  was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, offered them money, 8:19 saying, “Give me this power ³¹  too, so that everyone I place my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.” 8:20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, ³²  because you thought you could acquire ³³  God’s gift with money!

Kisah Para Rasul 11:1

Peter Defends His Actions to the Jerusalem Church

11:1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted ³⁴  the word of God. ³⁵ 

[15:12]  ¹ tn Heb “a deep sleep fell on Abram.”

[15:12]  ² tn Heb “and look, terror, a great darkness was falling on him.”

[15:13]  ³ tn The Hebrew construction is emphatic, with the Qal infinitive absolute followed by the imperfect from יָדַע (yada’, “know”). The imperfect here has an obligatory or imperatival force.

[15:13]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew word גֵּר (ger, “sojourner, stranger”) is related to the verb גּוּר (gur, “to sojourn, to stay for awhile”). Abram’s descendants will stay in a land as resident aliens without rights of citizenship.

[15:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “in a land not theirs.”

[15:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “and they will serve them and they will oppress them.” The verb עִנּוּ, (’innu, a Piel form from עָנָה, ’anah, “to afflict, to oppress, to treat harshly”), is used in Exod 1:11 to describe the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt.

[15:14]  ⁷ tn The participle דָּן (dan, from דִּין, din) is used here for the future: “I am judging” = “I will surely judge.” The judgment in this case will be condemnation and punishment. The translation “execute judgment on” implies that the judgment will certainly be carried out.

[15:15]  ⁸ tn The vav with the pronoun before the verb calls special attention to the subject in contrast to the preceding subject.

[15:15]  ⁹ sn You will go to your ancestors. This is a euphemistic expression for death.

[15:15]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “in a good old age.”

[15:16]  ¹¹ sn The term generation is being used here in its widest sense to refer to a full life span. When the chronological factors are considered and the genealogies tabulated, there are four hundred years of bondage. This suggests that in this context a generation is equivalent to one hundred years.

[15:16]  ¹² tn Heb “they”; the referent (“your descendants”) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[15:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “is not yet complete.”

[15:16]  sn The sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit. The justice of God is apparent. He will wait until the Amorites are fully deserving of judgment before he annihilates them and gives the land to Israel.

[21:45]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the house of Israel.” Cf. NCV “the Israelites”; TEV “the people of Israel”; CEV, NLT “Israel.”

[21:45]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “not a word from all the good word which the Lord spoke to the house of Israel fell; the whole came to pass.”

[23:14]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “go the way of all the earth.”

[23:14]  ¹⁷ tn Or “soul.”

[23:14]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “one word from all these words which the Lord your God spoke to you has not fallen, the whole has come to pass for you, one word from it has not fallen.”

[23:15]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and it will be as every good word which the Lord your God spoke to you has come to pass.”

[23:15]  ²⁰ tn Heb “so the Lord will bring every injurious [or “evil”] word [or “thing”] upon you.”

[23:1]  ²¹ tn Heb “many days.”

[23:1]  ²² tn Heb “the Lord had given rest to Israel from their enemies all around.”

[23:1]  ²³ tn Heb “was old, coming into the days.” This expression, referring to advancing in years, also occurs in the following verse.

[8:15]  ²⁴ tn Grk “who.” The relative pronoun was replaced by the phrase “these two” and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style.

[8:16]  ²⁵ tn Grk “For he”; the referent (the Spirit) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:16]  ²⁶ tn Or “fallen on.”

[8:16]  ²⁷ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[8:17]  ²⁸ tn Grk “on them”; the referent (the Samaritans) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:17]  ²⁹ sn They received the Holy Spirit. It is likely this special distribution of the Spirit took place because a key ethnic boundary was being crossed. Here are some of “those far off” of Acts 2:38-40.

[8:18]  ³⁰ tc Most witnesses (Ì^45,74 A* C D E Ψ 33 1739 Ï latt sy bo) here read “the Holy Spirit” (τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, to pneuma to {agion), while a few key mss have simply τὸ πνεῦμα (א A^c B sa mae). Although it is possible that some scribes omitted τὸ ἅγιον because of its perceived superfluity (note vv. 15, 17, 19), it is far more likely that others added the adjective out of pious motives.

[8:19]  ³¹ tn Or “ability”; Grk “authority.”

[8:20]  ³² tn Grk “May your silver together with you be sent into destruction.” This is a strong curse. The gifts of God are sovereignly bestowed and cannot be purchased.

[8:20]  ³³ tn Or “obtain.”

[11:1]  ³⁴ tn See BDAG 221 s.v. δέχομαι 5 for this translation of ἐδέξαντο (edexanto) here.

[11:1]  ³⁵ tn Here the phrase “word of God” is another way to describe the gospel (note the preceding verb ἐδέξαντο, edexanto, “accepted”). The phrase could also be translated “the word [message] from God.”
