Skutky Apoštolů 12
1 A při tom času dal se v to Heródes král, aby ssužoval některé z církve.
NOW at that time Herod the king stretched forth his hand to treat cruelly certain persons belonging to the church.
2 I zamordoval Jakuba, bratra Janova, mečem.
And he slew James the brother of John with a sword.
3 A vida, že se to líbilo Židům, umínil jíti i Petra. (A byli dnové přesnic.)
And seeing how agreeable this was to the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 Kteréhož jav, do žaláře vsadil, poručiv jej šestnácti žoldnéřům k ostříhání, chtěje po velikonoci vyvesti jej lidu.
Whom having apprehended, he put him in prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep guard over him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people for execution.
5 I byl Petr ostříhán v žaláři, modlitba pak ustavičná k Bohu dála se za něj od církve.
So then Peter was kept in prison: but fervent prayer was offered up by the church to God for him.
6 A když jej již vyvesti měl Heródes, té noci spal Petr mezi dvěma žoldnéři, svázán byv dvěma řetězy, a strážní přede dveřmi ostříhali žaláře.
Now when Herod was going to bring him forth, the same night was Peter fast asleep between the two soldiers, fastened to them with two chains: and the guards before the door kept the prison.
7 A aj, anděl Páně postavil se, a světlo se zastkvělo v žaláři; a udeřiv Petra v bok, zbudil ho, řka: Vstaň rychle. I spadli jemu ti řetězové z rukou.
And, lo! an angel of the Lord stood there, and light glared through the apartment: then with a stroke on Peter’s side, he roused him up, and said, Arise quickly. And his chains fell from his hands.
8 Tedy řekl jemu anděl: Opaš se a podvaž obuv svou. Tedy učinil tak. I řekl jemu: Oděj se pláštěm svým, a poď za mnou.
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself up, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said unto him, Wrap thyself in thy mantle, and follow me.
9 Tedy vyšed, bral se za ním, a nevěděl, by to pravé bylo, co se dálo skrze anděla, ale domníval se, že by vidění viděl.
And going out, he followed him; and knew not that it was a reality which was done by the angel; but he supposed he saw a vision.
10 A prošedše skrze první i druhou stráž, přišli k bráně železné, kteráž vede do města, a ta se jim sama od sebe otevřela. A vyšedše, přešli ulici jednu, a hned odšel anděl od něho.
So passing through the first ward and the second, they came to the iron door which leads into the city, which opened to them spontaneously: and being come out, they walked forward through one street; and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 Tedy Petr přišed sám k sobě, řekl: Nyní právě vím, že poslal Pán anděla svého, a vytrhl mne z ruky Heródesovy, a ze všeho očekávání lidu Židovského.
And Peter coming to himself, said, Now I know assuredly, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and all the eager expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 A pováživ toho, šel k domu Marie, matky Janovy, kterýž přijmí měl Marek, kdež se jich bylo mnoho sešlo, a modlili se.
And after considering with himself, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark; where many were thronged together, and praying.
13 A když Petr potloukl na dvéře, vyšla děvečka, aby poslechla, jménem Ródé.
Peter then knocking at the door of the gatetway, there came a damsel to ask who was there, named Rhoda.
14 A poznavši hlas Petrův, pro radost neotevřela dveří, ale vběhši, zvěstovala, že Petr stojí u dveří.
And well knowing Peter’s voice, she opened not the door for joy; but running in, told that Peter was standing before the door.
15 A oni řekli jí: Blázníš. Ona pak potvrzovala, že tak jest. Tedy oni řekli: Anděl jeho jest.
But they said, Thou art raving. But she confidently persisted that it was so. Then they said, It is his angel.
16 Ale Petr předce tloukl. A otevřevše, uzřeli jej, i ulekli se.
But Peter continued knocking: and they opened the door and saw him, and were astonished.
17 A pokynuv na ně rukou, aby mlčeli, vypravoval jim, kterak jej Pán vyvedl z žaláře, a řekl: Pověztež to Jakubovi a bratřím. A vyšed, bral se na jiné místo.
Then beckoning with the hand that they should be silent, he informed them in what manner the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Tell James and the brethren these things. And departing thence he went into another place.
18 A když byl den, stal se rozbroj nemalý mezi žoldnéři o to, co se stalo při Petrovi.
Now when the day broke, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what could possibly become of Peter.
19 Heródes pak ptaje se na něj, a nenalezna, vytazovav se na strážných, kázal je pryč vésti; a odebrav se z Judstva do Cesaree, přebýval tam.
And Herod sought him out earnestly, but not being able to find him, after having examined the guards strictly, he commanded them to be executed. And going down from Jerusalem to Caesarea, took up his abode there.
20 A v ten čas Heródes rozzlobil se proti Tyrským a Sidonským. Kteřížto jednomyslně přišli k němu, a namluvivše Blasta, předního komorníka královského, žádali za pokoj, proto že jejich krajiny potravu měly z království.
Now Herod was fiercely bent on war against the Tyrians and Sidonians: but they presented themselves unanimously before him, and ingratiating themselves with Blastus who was over the king’s bedchamber, they begged for peace; because their country received all their supply of provisions from the king’s territories.
21 V uložený pak den Heródes, obleka se v královské roucho, a posadiv se na soudné stolici, učinil k nim řeč.
Then on a day appointed, Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, and seated on his throne, made an harangue unto them.
22 I zvolal lid, řka: Boží hlas, a ne lidský.
And the populace shouted, It is the voice of a god, and not a man.
23 A i hned ranil jej anděl Páně, proto že nevzdal slávy Bohu; a rozlez se červy, umřel.
But instantly the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not the glory to God: and being devoured with worms, he expired.
24 A slovo Páně rostlo a rozmáhalo se.
But the word of the Lord increased, and was widely diffused.
25 Barnabáš pak a Saul navrátili se z Jeruzaléma, vykonavše službu, pojavše s sebou i Jana, kterýž přijmí měl Marek.
Then Barnabas and Saul departed from Jerusalem, having completed the distribution of the sum entrusted with them; and they took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
