Kisah Para Rasul 13:1-4
Konteks13:1 Now there were these prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch: 15 Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, 16 Lucius the Cyrenian, 17 Manaen (a close friend of Herod 18 the tetrarch 19 from childhood 20 ) and Saul. 13:2 While they were serving 21 the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart 22 for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 13:3 Then, after they had fasted 23 and 24 prayed and placed their hands 25 on them, they sent them off.
13:4 So Barnabas and Saul, 26 sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, 27 and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 28

132:1 O Lord, for David’s sake remember
all his strenuous effort, 31
132:2 and how he made a vow to the Lord,
and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob. 32
132:3 He said, 33 “I will not enter my own home, 34
or get into my bed. 35
132:4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep,
or my eyelids to slumber,
132:5 until I find a place for the Lord,
a fine dwelling place 36 for the powerful ruler of Jacob.” 37
132:6 Look, we heard about it 38 in Ephrathah, 39
we found it in the territory of Jaar. 40

[13:1] 16 sn Simeon may well have been from North Africa, since the Latin loanword Niger refers to someone as “dark-complexioned.”
[13:1] 17 sn The Cyrenian refers to a native of the city of Cyrene, on the coast of northern Africa west of Egypt.
[13:1] 18 sn Herod is generally taken as a reference to Herod Antipas, who governed Galilee from 4
[13:1] 19 tn Or “the governor.”
[13:1] sn A tetrarch was a ruler with rank and authority lower than a king, who ruled only with the approval of the Roman authorities. This was roughly equivalent to being governor of a region. Several times in the NT, Herod tetrarch of Galilee is called a king (Matt 14:9, Mark 6:14-29), reflecting popular usage.
[13:1] 20 tn Or “(a foster brother of Herod the tetrarch).” The meaning “close friend from childhood” is given by L&N 34.15, but the word can also mean “foster brother” (L&N 10.51). BDAG 976 s.v. σύντροφας states, “pert. to being brought up with someone, either as a foster-brother or as a companion/friend,” which covers both alternatives. Context does not given enough information to be certain which is the case here, although many modern translations prefer the meaning “close friend from childhood.”
[13:2] 21 tn This term is frequently used in the LXX of the service performed by priests and Levites in the tabernacle (Exod 28:35, 43; 29:30; 30:20; 35:19; 39:26; Num 1:50; 3:6, 31) and the temple (2 Chr 31:2; 35:3; Joel 1:9, 13; 2:17, and many more examples). According to BDAG 591 s.v. λειτουργέω 1.b it is used “of other expression of religious devotion.” Since the previous verse described the prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch, it is probable that the term here describes two of them (Barnabas and Saul) as they were serving in that capacity. Since they were not in Jerusalem where the temple was located, general religious service is referred to here.
[13:3] 23 tn The three aorist participles νηστεύσαντες (nhsteusante"), προσευξάμενοι (proseuxamenoi), and ἐπιθέντες (epiqente") are translated as temporal participles. Although they could indicate contemporaneous time when used with an aorist main verb, logically here they are antecedent. On fasting and prayer, see Matt 6:5, 16; Luke 2:37; 5:33; Acts 14:23.
[13:3] 24 tn Normally English style, which uses a coordinating conjunction between only the last two elements of a series of three or more, would call for omission of “and” here. However, since the terms “fasting and prayer” are something of a unit, often linked together, the conjunction has been retained here.
[13:3] 25 sn The placing of hands on Barnabas and Saul (traditionally known as “the laying on of hands”) refers to an act picturing the commission of God and the church for the task at hand.
[13:4] 26 tn Grk “they”; the referents (Barnabas and Saul) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
[13:4] 27 sn Seleucia was the port city of Antioch in Syria.
[13:4] 28 sn Cyprus was a large island in the Mediterranean off the south coast of Asia Minor.
[132:1] 29 sn Psalm 132. The psalmist reminds God of David’s devotion and of his promises concerning David’s dynasty and Zion.
[132:1] 30 sn The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21.
[132:1] 31 tn Heb “all his affliction.” This may refer to David’s strenuous and tireless efforts to make provision for the building of the temple (see 1 Chr 22:14). Some prefer to revocalize the text as עַנַוָתוֹ (’anavato, “his humility”).
[132:2] 32 tn Heb “the powerful [one] of Jacob.”
[132:3] 33 tn The words “he said” are supplied in the translation to clarify that what follows is David’s vow.
[132:3] 34 tn Heb “the tent of my house.”
[132:3] 35 tn Heb “go up upon the bed of my couch.”
[132:5] 36 tn The plural form of the noun may indicate degree or quality; David envisions a special dwelling place (see Pss 43:3; 46:4; 84:1).
[132:5] 37 tn Heb “the powerful [one] of Jacob.”
[132:6] 38 tn Rather than having an antecedent, the third feminine singular pronominal suffix here (and in the next line) appears to refer to the ark of the covenant, mentioned in v. 8. (The Hebrew term אָרוֹן [’aron, “ark”] is sometimes construed as grammatically feminine. See 1 Sam 4:17; 2 Chr 8:11.)
[132:6] 39 sn Some understand Ephrathah as a reference to Kiriath-jearim because of the apparent allusion to this site in the next line (see the note on “Jaar”). The ark was kept in Kiriath-jearim after the Philistines released it (see 1 Sam 6:21-7:2). However, the switch in verbs from “heard about” to “found” suggests that Ephrathah not be equated with Jair. The group who is speaking heard about the ark while they were in Ephrath. They then went to retrieve it from Kiriath-jearim (“Jaar”). It is more likely that Ephrathah refers to a site near Bethel (Gen 35:16, 19; 48:7) or to Bethlehem (Ruth 4:11; Mic 5:2).
[132:6] 40 tn Heb “fields of the forest.” The Hebrew term יָעַר (ya’ad, “forest”) is apparently a shortened alternative name for קִרְיַת יְעָרִים (qiryat yÿ’arim, “Kiriath-jearim”), the place where the ark was kept after it was released by the Philistines and from which David and his men retrieved it (see 1 Chr 13:6).
