Kisah Para Rasul 1:25

1:25 to assume the task ¹  of this service ²  and apostleship from which Judas turned aside ³  to go to his own place.” ⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 2:2

2:2 Suddenly ⁵  a sound ⁶  like a violent wind blowing ⁷  came from heaven ⁸  and filled the entire house where they were sitting.

Kisah Para Rasul 21:31

21:31 While they were trying ⁹  to kill him, a report ¹⁰  was sent up ¹¹  to the commanding officer ¹²  of the cohort ¹³  that all Jerusalem was in confusion. ¹⁴ 

[1:25]  ¹ tn Grk “to take the place.”

[1:25]  ² tn Or “of this ministry.”

[1:25]  ³ tn Or “the task of this service and apostleship which Judas ceased to perform.”

[1:25]  ⁴ sn To go to his own place. This may well be a euphemism for Judas’ judged fate. He separated himself from them, and thus separated he would remain.

[2:2]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated for stylistic reasons. It occurs as part of the formula καὶ ἐγένετο (kai egeneto) which is often left untranslated in Luke-Acts because it is redundant in contemporary English. Here it is possible (and indeed necessary) to translate ἐγένετο as “came” so that the initial clause of the English translation contains a verb; nevertheless the translation of the conjunction καί is not necessary.

[2:2]  ⁶ tn Or “a noise.”

[2:2]  ⁷ tn While φέρω (ferw) generally refers to movement from one place to another with the possible implication of causing the movement of other objects, in Acts 2:2 φέρομαι (feromai) should probably be understood in a more idiomatic sense of “blowing” since it is combined with the noun for wind (πνοή, pnoh).

[2:2]  ⁸ tn Or “from the sky.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context.

[21:31]  ⁹ tn Grk “seeking.”

[21:31]  ¹⁰ tn Or “information” (originally concerning a crime; BDAG 1050 s.v. φάσις).

[21:31]  ¹¹ tn Grk “went up”; this verb is used because the report went up to the Antonia Fortress where the Roman garrison was stationed.

[21:31]  ¹² tn Grk “the chiliarch” (an officer in command of a thousand soldiers). In Greek the term χιλίαρχος (ciliarco") literally described the “commander of a thousand,” but it was used as the standard translation for the Latin tribunus militum or tribunus militare, the military tribune who commanded a cohort of 600 men.

[21:31]  ¹³ sn A cohort was a Roman military unit of about 600 soldiers, one-tenth of a legion.

[21:31]  ¹⁴ tn BDAG 953 s.v. συγχέω has “Pass. w. act.force be in confusion…ὅλη συγχύννεται ᾿Ιερουσαλήμ 21:31.”
