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 put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.
2 I zamordoval Jakuba, bratra Janova, mečem.
And he killed 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. And [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 taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard 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 in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God 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.
And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and 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 řetězové s rukou jeho.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off 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 unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about 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 wist not that it was true which was done by the angel, 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 were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway 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 Herodesovy, a ze všeho očekávání lidu Židovského.
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and 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 had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered 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 gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.
14 A poznavši hlas Petrův, pro radost neotevřela dveří, ale vběhši, zvěstovala, že Petr stojí u dveří.
And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood 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 unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.
16 Ale Petr předce tloukl. A otevřevše dveře, uzřeli jej, i ulekli se.
But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, 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 he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto 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.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was 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 when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and tarried there.
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 he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country.
21 V uložený pak den Herodes, obleka se v královské roucho, a posadiv se na soudné stolici, učinil k nim řeč.
And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 I zvolal lid, řka: Boží jest toto hlas, a ne lidský.
And the people shouted, [saying], 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.
And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
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 Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
