Acts 12
1 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
U ono pak vrijeme podiže Irod car ruke da muèi neke od crkve.
2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
I pogubi Jakova brata Jovanova maèem.
3 And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
I vidjevši da je to po volji Jevrejima nastavi da uhvati i Petra a bijahu dani prijesnijeh hljebova
4 He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
Kojega i uhvati i baci u tamnicu, i predade ga èetvorici èetvrtnika vojnièkijeh da ga èuvaju, i mišljaše ga po pashi izvesti pred narod.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
I tako Petra èuvahu u tamnici; a crkva moljaše se za njega Bogu bez prestanka.
6 On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.
A kad šæaše Irod da ga izvede, onu noæ spavaše Petar meðu dvojicom vojnika, okovan u dvoje verige, a stražari pred vratima èuvahu tamnicu.
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.
I gle, anðeo Gospodnji pristupi, i svjetlost obasja po sobi, i kucnuvši Petra u rebra probudi ga govoreæi: ustani brže. I spadoše mu verige s ruku.
8 “Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
A anðeo mu reèe: opaši se, i obuj opanke svoje. I uèini tako. I reèe mu anðeo: obuci haljinu svoju, pa hajde za mnom.
9 So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.
I izišavši iðaše za njim, i ne znadijaše da je to istina što anðeo èinjaše, nego mišljaše da vidi utvaru.
10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left him.
A kad proðoše prvu stražu i drugu i doðoše k vratima gvozdenijem koja voðahu u grad, ona im se sama otvoriše; i izišavši proðoše jednu ulicu, i anðeo odmah otstupi od njega.
11 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”
I kad doðe Petar k sebi reèe: sad zaista vidim da Bog posla anðela svojega te me izbavi iz ruku Irodovijeh i od svega èekanja naroda Jevrejskoga.
12 And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.
I razmislivši doðe kuæi Marije matere Jovana koji se zvaše Marko, gdje bijahu mnogi sabrani i moljahu se Bogu.
13 He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
A kad kucnu Petar u vrata od dvora, pristupi djevojka po imenu Roda, da èuje.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”
I poznavši glas Petrov od radosti ne otvori vrata, nego utrèa i kaza da Petar stoji pred vratima.
15 “You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
A oni joj rekoše: jesi li ti luda? A ona potvrðivaše da je tako. A oni govorahu: anðeo je njegov.
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
A Petar jednako kucaše. A kad otvoriše, vidješe ga, i udiviše se.
17 Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.
A on mahnuvši na njih rukom da æute, kaza im kako ga Gospod izvede iz tamnice; i reèe: javite ovo Jakovu i braæi. I izišavši otide na drugo mjesto.
18 At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
A kad bi dan, bješe ne mala buna meðu vojnicima, šta to bi od Petra.
19 After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.
A kad ga Irod zaiska i ne naðe, onda ispita stražare, i zapovjedi da ih odvedu; i izišavši iz Judeje u Æesariju onamo življaše.
20 Now Herod was in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him. Having secured the support of Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their region depended on the king’s country for food.
Jer se Irod srðaše na Tirce i Sidonce. Ali oni jednodušno doðoše k njemu, i uzevši na svoju ruku Vlasta, posteljnika careva, iskahu mira, jer se njihove zemlje hranjahu od njegova carstva.
21 On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
A u odreðeni dan obuèe se Irod u carsku haljinu, i sjedavši na prijesto govoraše im;
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
A narod vikaše: ovo je glas Božij, a ne èovjeèij.
23 Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
Ali ujedanput udari ga anðeo Gospodnji; jer ne dade slave Bogu; i buduæi izjeden od crvi izdahnu.
24 But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
A rijeè Božija rastijaše i množaše se.
25 When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
A Varnava i Savle predavši pomoæ vratiše se iz Jerusalima u Antiohiju, uzevši sa sobom i Jovana koji se zvaše Marko.
