Kisah Para Rasul 4:28

4:28 to do as much as your power ¹  and your plan ²  had decided beforehand ³  would happen.

Kisah Para Rasul 19:39

19:39 But if you want anything in addition, ⁴  it will have to be settled ⁵  in a legal assembly. ⁶ 

[4:28]  ¹ tn Grk “hand,” here a metaphor for God’s strength or power or authority.

[4:28]  ² tn Or “purpose,” “will.”

[4:28]  ³ tn Or “had predestined.” Since the term “predestine” is something of a technical theological term, not in wide usage in contemporary English, the translation “decide beforehand” was used instead (see L&N 30.84). God’s direction remains as the major theme.

[19:39]  ⁴ tn Or “anything more than this.”

[19:39]  ⁵ tn Or “resolved.”

[19:39]  ⁶ tn Or “in a legal meeting of the citizens.” L&N 30.81 has “ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐπιλυθήσεται ‘it will have to be settled in a legal meeting of the citizens’ Ac 19:39.” This meeting took place three times a year.
