Skutky Apoštolů 12
1 A při tom času dal se v to Herodes král, aby sužoval některé z církve.
At that time Herod the king undertook to afflict some of the church.
2 I zamordoval Jakuba, bratra Janova, mečem.
And he slew with the sword James the brother of John.
3 A vida, že se to líbilo Židům, umínil jíti i Petra. (A byli dnové přesnic.)
And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he apprehended Peter also. Those were the days of unleavened bread.
4 Kteréhož jav, do žaláře vsadil, poručiv jej šestnácti žoldnéřům k ostříhání, chtěje po velikonoci vyvésti jej lidu.
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four tetrads of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the passover.
5 I byl Petr ostříhán v žaláři, modlitba pak ustavičná k Bohu dála se za něj od církve.
Therefore, Peter was kept in prison; but fervent prayer to God was made for him by the church.
6 A když jej již vyvésti měl Herodes, té noci spal Petr mezi dvěma žoldnéři, svázán jsa dvěma řetězy, a strážní přede dveřmi ostříhali žaláře.
When Herod was about to bring him out, on that night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the doors were guarding 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 řetězové s rukou jeho.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison. And he gently struck Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying: Arise quickly; and his chains fell from his hands.
8 Tedy řekl anděl k němu: Opaš se a podvaž obuv svou. To když učinil, řekl jemu: Oděj se pláštěm svým, a pojď za mnou.
And the angel said to him: Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals; and he did so. And he said to him: Throw your mantle around you, and follow me.
9 I vyšed, bral se za ním, a nevěděl, by to pravé bylo, co se dálo skrze anděla, ale domníval se, že by vidění viděl.
And he went out, and followed him; and he knew not that what was done by the angel was real, but thought that he saw a vision.
10 A prošedše skrze první i druhou stráž, přišli k bráně železné, kteráž vede do města, a ta se jim hned sama otevřela. A všedše skrze ni, přešli ulici jednu, a hned odšel anděl od něho.
And when they had passed through the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord. And they went out, and passed on through one street; and the angel immediately departed from him.
11 Tedy Petr přišed sám k sobě, řekl: Nyní právě vím, že poslal Pán anděla svého, a vytrhl mne z ruky Herodesovy, a ze všeho očekávání lidu Židovského.
And when Peter came to himself, he said: Now I know, in truth, that the Lord has sent his angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all that was expected by the Jewish people.
12 A pováživ toho, šel k domu Marie, matky Janovy, kterýž příjmí měl Marek, kdež se jich bylo mnoho sešlo, a modlili se.
And being aware of his condition, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where many had met together, and were praying.
13 A když Petr potloukl na dveře, vyšla děvečka, aby poslechla, jménem Ródé.
And when he knocked at the door of the entrance, a maid-servant, named Rhoda, came to listen.
14 A poznavši hlas Petrův, pro radost neotevřela dveří, ale vběhši, zvěstovala, že Petr stojí u dveří.
And recognizing Peter’s voice, she did not open the entrance for joy, but ran in and told that Peter was standing before the entrance.
15 A oni řekli jí: I co blázníš? Ona pak potvrzovala, že tak jest. Tedy oni řekli: Anděl jeho jest.
And they said to her: You are mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. Then said hey: It is his angel.
16 Ale Petr předce tloukl. A otevřevše dveře, uzřeli jej, i ulekli se.
But Peter continued to knock; and when they had opened the door, they saw him, and were astonished.
17 A pokynuv na ně rukou, aby mlčeli, vypravoval jim, kterak jest jej Pán vyvedl z žaláře, a potom řekl: Pověztež to Jakubovi a bratřím. A vyšed, bral se na jiné místo.
But, having made a sign to them with his hand, that they should keep silence, he made known to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, and he said: Tell this to James, and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place.
18 A když byl den, stal se rozbroj nemalý mezi žoldnéři o to, co se stalo při Petrovi.
And when it was day, there was no little confusion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
19 Herodes pak ptaje se na něj, a nenalezna, vytazovav se na strážných, kázal je pryč vésti; a odebrav se z Judstva do Cesaree, přebýval tam.
But Herod, when he had sought for him, and found him not, examined the keepers, and commanded them to be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarean, and there he remained.
20 A v ten čas Herodes rozzlobil se proti Tyrským a Sidonským. Kteřížto jednomyslně přišli k němu, a namluvivše sobě Blasta, předního komorníka královského, žádali za pokoj, protože jejich krajiny potravu měly z zemí královských.
And he was intending to make war upon the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came with one consent to him; and having made Blastus, who had charge of the king’s bed-chamber, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supported by that of the king.
21 V uložený pak den Herodes, obleka se v královské roucho, a posadiv se na soudné stolici, učinil k nim řeč.
And on an appointed day, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal apparel, and seated himself on his throne, delivered an oration to them.
22 I zvolal lid, řka: Boží jest toto hlas, a ne lidský.
And the people shouted: It is the voice of God, and not of man.
23 A ihned ranil jej anděl Páně, protože nevzdal slávy Bohu; a rozlez se červy, umřel.
And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not give God the glory. And having been eaten by worms, he expired.
24 A slovo Páně rostlo a rozmáhalo se.
But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
25 Barnabáš pak a Saul navrátili se z Jeruzaléma, vykonavše službu, pojavše s sebou i Jana, kterýž příjmí měl Marek.
And Barnabas and Saul, after they had fulfilled their ministry, returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, whose surname was Mark.
