Skutky Apoštolů 12
1 A při tom času dal se v to Herodes král, aby sužoval některé z církve.
About that time Herod the king exerted his power to distress some of the church.
2 I zamordoval Jakuba, bratra Janova, mečem.
And he cut off 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 was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also, (in the days of unleavened bread: )
4 Kteréhož jav, do žaláře vsadil, poručiv jej šestnácti žoldnéřům k ostříhání, chtěje po velikonoci vyvésti jej lidu.
whom he seized and put into prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending, after the passover, to bring him out to the people.
5 I byl Petr ostříhán v žaláři, modlitba pak ustavičná k Bohu dála se za něj od církve.
Peter was therefore kept in custody: but incessant prayer was made to God 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.
And when Herod was about to bring him forth, that very night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the guards at the door watched 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 room; and smiting Peter on the side, he waked him, and said, 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 tie on thy sandals: and he did so. And he saith unto 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.
So he went out and followed him; and he did not know, 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 passing through the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate, that leadeth into the city, which of its own accord opened to them: and they went out and passed on through one street; and then 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 Peter being come to himself said, Now I know truly, that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me from 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 considering with himself, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was sirnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
13 A když Petr potloukl na dveře, vyšla děvečka, aby poslechla, jménem Ródé.
And when Peter knocked at the door of the porch, a servant named Rhoda came to ask who was there.
14 A poznavši hlas Petrův, pro radost neotevřela dveří, ale vběhši, zvěstovala, že Petr stojí u dveří.
And knowing Peter's voice, through excess of joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them, that Peter was standing at the door.
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 confidently affirmed that it was so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 Ale Petr předce tloukl. A otevřevše dveře, uzřeli jej, i ulekli se.
But Peter continued knocking; and when they 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 he made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, and related to them, how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, tell these things to James and to the other 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 disturbance 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 Herod searching for him, and not finding him, brought the keepers to a trial, and ordered them to be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and abode 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.
And Herod was going to make war upon the Tyrians and Sidonians: but they came to him with one consent, and making interest with Blastus the king's chamberlain, they sued for peace; because their territory was supplied with provision by 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 in his royal robes, and sitting upon his throne, made an oration to them.
22 I zvolal lid, řka: Boží jest toto hlas, a ne lidský.
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is 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 being devoured by worms he died.
24 A slovo Páně rostlo a rozmáhalo se.
But the word of God grew and was 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 charge, taking along with them John who was sirnamed Mark.
