Skutky Apoštolů 12
1 A při tom času dal se v to Herodes král, aby sužoval některé z církve.
Now about that time, Herod the king laid his hands upon certain of the church, to oppress them.
2 I zamordoval Jakuba, bratra Janova, mečem.
And he slew 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 seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also; (then 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 he seized him and put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending 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.
Peter therefore was kept guarded in prison; but earnest prayer was made by the church to God in his behalf.
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.
And when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and keepers 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.
And lo! an angel of the Lord came to him, and a light shone in the room; and he smote Peter on the side, and roused him, saying, Rise up 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 thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and he did so. And he saith to him, Throw thy garment round thee, 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; and he knew not that what was done by the angel was real, but thought 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 the first, and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which opened to them of itself; 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 had come to himself, he said, Now I know certainly, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 A pováživ toho, šel k domu Marie, matky Janovy, kterýž příjmí měl Marek, kdež se jich bylo mnoho sešlo, a modlili se.
And when he understood the matter, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together, and praying.
13 A když Petr potloukl na dveře, vyšla děvečka, aby poslechla, jménem Ródé.
And as he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid-servant came to listen, named Rhoda;
14 A poznavši hlas Petrův, pro radost neotevřela dveří, ale vběhši, zvěstovala, že Petr stojí u dveří.
and recognizing Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness; but ran in, and told them that Peter was standing before the gate.
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, Thou art mad. But she positively affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.
16 Ale Petr předce tloukl. A otevřevše dveře, uzřeli jej, i ulekli se.
But Peter continued knocking; and opening the door, they saw him, and were amazed.
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 beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, he related how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go and tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went 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 small commotion 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.
And Herod, when he had sought for him and found him not, examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be led away [[to execution]]. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and there abode.
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 highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, sued for peace; because their country drew its nourishment from 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 a day appointed, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal apparel, and taken his seat on the throne, made a speech to them.
22 I zvolal lid, řka: Boží jest toto hlas, a ne lidský.
And thereupon the people shouted, The voice of a god, and not of a man!
23 A ihned ranil jej anděl Páně, protože nevzdal slávy Bohu; a rozlez se červy, umřel.
But immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory, and he was eaten by worms, and expired.
24 A slovo Páně rostlo a rozmáhalo se.
But the word of God grew and was extended.
25 Barnabáš pak a Saul navrátili se z Jeruzaléma, vykonavše službu, pojavše s sebou i Jana, kterýž příjmí měl Marek.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having performed their service, taking with them also John, surnamed Mark.
