Skutky Apoštolů 12
1 A při tom času dal se v to Herodes král, aby sužoval některé z církve.
Now, at about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands to ill- treat certain members of the church;
2 I zamordoval Jakuba, bratra Janova, mečem.
and beheaded James, the brother of John, with the sword.
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 proceeded to seize Peter also. (This was during the days of unleavened bread.)
4 Kteréhož jav, do žaláře vsadil, poručiv jej šestnácti žoldnéřům k ostříhání, chtěje po velikonoci vyvésti jej lidu.
He had him arrested and thrown in prison, and put under guard of sixteen soldiers. He intended, after the Passover, to bring him forth to the people.
5 I byl Petr ostříhán v žaláři, modlitba pak ustavičná k Bohu dála se za něj od církve.
So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer to God was made by the church for him.
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.
Now when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that very night, while Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with chains, and sentries before the door 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.
suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side, he woke him saying, "Rise up quickly." At once the chains dropped 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.
"Gird yourself," said the angel, "and put on your sandals." He did so. Then he said unto him, "Throw your cloak about 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.
So Peter went out, following him, but did not realize that what the angel was doing was real, but supposed that he was seeing 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 the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that led to the city. This opened to them of its own accord; and they went out passed on through one street; and suddenly the angel left 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.
Peter, coming to himself, said, "Now I know for a certainty that the Lord has sent his angel and released me from the hand of Herod, and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating."
12 A pováživ toho, šel k domu Marie, matky Janovy, kterýž příjmí měl Marek, kdež se jich bylo mnoho sešlo, a modlili se.
So, after he had thought things over, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John, surnamed Mark, where a large number of people were assembled, praying.
13 A když Petr potloukl na dveře, vyšla děvečka, aby poslechla, jménem Ródé.
When he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid servant named Rhoda came to answer.
14 A poznavši hlas Petrův, pro radost neotevřela dveří, ale vběhši, zvěstovala, že Petr stojí u dveří.
And when she recognized Peter’s voice, for very joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15 A oni řekli jí: I co blázníš? Ona pak potvrzovala, že tak jest. Tedy oni řekli: Anděl jeho jest.
"You are mad," they said. But she confidently insisted that it was so. "It is his angel," they said.
16 Ale Petr předce tloukl. A otevřevše dveře, uzřeli jej, i ulekli se.
Meanwhile Peter continued to knock, until at last they opened the door, and were amazed to see that it was really he.
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.
He motioned to them to keep quiet, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell all this to James," he said, "and to the brothers," and away he went to another place.
18 A když byl den, stal se rozbroj nemalý mezi žoldnéři o to, co se stalo při Petrovi.
When morning came there was no small stir among the soldiers as to what could possibly have 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.
Then Herod had search made for him, and could not find him. After sharply questioning the guards, he ordered them off to execution. He then went down from Judea to Caesarea, where he stayed for some time.
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.
Now Herod was violently displeased with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him, with one accord, and after conciliating Blastus, the royal chamberlain, they begged for peace because their country depended upon the king’s country for its food supply.
21 V uložený pak den Herodes, obleka se v královské roucho, a posadiv se na soudné stolici, učinil k nim řeč.
So on the appointed day, Herod put on his royal robes, and after taking his seat upon the throne, began to harangue them.
22 I zvolal lid, řka: Boží jest toto hlas, a ne lidský.
"The voice of a god, and not of a man," the people kept shouting.
23 A ihned ranil jej anděl Páně, protože nevzdal slávy Bohu; a rozlez se červy, umřel.
Instantly an angel of the Lord smote him, because he had not given God the glory, and being eaten up by worms, he died.
24 A slovo Páně rostlo a rozmáhalo se.
But the word of God grew and multiplied;
25 Barnabáš pak a Saul navrátili se z Jeruzaléma, vykonavše službu, pojavše s sebou i Jana, kterýž příjmí měl Marek.
and after discharging their mission, Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, surnamed Mark.
