Acts 12
1 It was about this time that King Herod [Agrippa sent soldiers] [MTY] who seized [and put in prison] some of the [leaders] of the congregation [in Jerusalem. He did that] because he wanted to make the believers suffer.
V ta čas pa vzdigne Herod kralj roke, da bi nektere od cerkve mučil.
2 He commanded [a soldier] to cut off the head of [the apostle] James, the [older] brother of [the apostle] John.
In umorí Jakoba brata Janezovega z mečem.
3 When Herod realized that he had pleased the [leaders of the] Jewish people by [doing that], he commanded [soldiers] to arrest Peter [in order to kill him], too. This happened during the festival [when the Jewish people ate] bread [that] did not have yeast.
In videvši, da je po godi Judom, sklene tudi Petra vjeti (bili so pa dnevi presnih kruhov);
4 After [they] seized Peter, they put him in prison. They arranged for four groups of soldiers to guard Peter. Each [group] had four soldiers. [Every three hours a different group began to guard him while the others rested]. Herod wanted to bring Peter out [of prison and judge him] in front of the [Jewish] people after the Passover [Festival was finished. He then planned to command soldiers to execute Peter].
Kterega je tudi vjel in posadil v ječo, in izročil štirim četvericam vojakov, naj ga varujejo, in hotel ga je po Velikej noči izpeljati pred ljudstvo.
5 So [for several days] Peter was kept {they kept Peter} in prison. But the [other believers] in the congregation at [Jerusalem] were praying earnestly to God [that he would help] Peter.
Petra torej so sicer varovali v ječi; a cerkev je molila za-nj k Bogu neprenehoma.
6 The night [before] Herod planned to bring Peter out [from prison to have him executed] publicly, Peter was sleeping [in the prison] between two soldiers, with two chains binding his arms [to the arms of the soldiers. Two other] soldiers were guarding the prison doors.
Ko ga je pa imel Herod izpeljati, tisto noč je spal Peter med dvema vojakoma, okovan v dvojne verige; a varuhi pred vratmi so stražili ječo.
7 Suddenly an angel [from] the Lord [God] stood [beside Peter], and a [bright] light shone in his cell. The angel poked Peter in the side and woke him up and said, “Get up quickly!” [While Peter was getting up], the chains fell off from his wrists. [However, the soldiers were not aware of what was happening].
In glej, angelj Gospodov pristopi, in svetloba se zasveti v ječi; in udarivši Petra v rebra, zbudí ga, govoreč: Vstani hitro! In spadle so mu verige z rok.
8 Then the angel said to Peter, “Put on your clothes and sandals!” So Peter did. Then the angel said to him, “Fasten your belt/girdle [around you(sg)] and put on your sandals!” So Peter did that. Then the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me!”
In reče mu angelj: Opaši se, in obuj opanke svoje. In storil je tako. In reče mu: Ogrni plašč svoj, in pojdi za menoj.
9 So, [after Peter put on his cloak and sandals], he followed [the angel] out [of the prison cell], but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. He thought [that he] was seeing a vision.
In izšel je, in šel je za njim; in ni vedel, da je res, kar se je godilo po angelji, nego menil je, da vidi prikazen.
10 Peter and the angel walked by the soldiers who were guarding the two doors, [but the soldiers did not see them. Then] they came to the iron gate that [led] out into the city. The gate opened by itself, and Peter and the angel walked out [of the prison]. After they had walked [a ways] along one street, the angel suddenly disappeared.
Ko sta bila pa prešla mimo prve straže in druge, prideta do železnih vrat, ktera so držala v mesto, in ta jima se sama od sebe odpró. Ter izideta, in prideta v eno ulico, in precej odstopi angelj od njega.
11 Then Peter [finally] realized that [what had happened to him was not a vision, but] it had really happened. So he said [to himself], “Now I really know that the Lord [God] sent an angel [to help me]. He rescued me from what Herod planned to do [MTY] [to me], and [also] from all the things that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] expected [that Herod would do to me].”
In ko pride Peter k sebi, reče: Sedaj vém res, da je poslal Gospod angelja svojega, in me je otel iz roke Herodove in vsega čakanja ljudstva Judovskega.
12 When Peter realized [that God had rescued him], he went to Mary’s house. She was the mother of John whose other name was Mark. Many [believers] had assembled there, and they were praying [that God would help Peter somehow].
In razmislivši to, pride do hiše Marije matere Janeza s priimkom Marka, kjer je bilo veliko zbranih, kteri so molili.
13 When Peter knocked at the outer entrance, a servant girl named Rhoda came to find out [who was outside the door].
Ko je pa Peter na vežna vrata potrkal, pristopi deklica po imenu Roda poslušat.
14 [When Peter answered her], she recognized his voice, but she was so happy [and excited] that she did not open the door! Instead, she ran back [into the house]. She [excitedly] announced [to the other believers] that Peter was standing outside the door.
In spoznavši glas Petrov, od veselja ni odprla vrat, nego odbežala je noter, in sporočila je, da stojí Peter pred vratmi.
15 But [one of] them said to her, “You [(sg)] are crazy!” But she continued saying that it was [really true. Then] they repeatedly said, “[No], [it cannot be Peter]. It is [probably] the angel [who was guarding] him [who has come] (OR, It is the angel [who has guarded/protected] him, [and he has come to tell us that] Peter [has died].)”
Oni jej pa rekó: Meša ti se. A ona je trdila, da je tako. Oni so pa govorili: Angelj njegov je.
16 But Peter continued knocking [on the door. So when someone finally] opened the door, they saw that it was Peter, and they were completely amazed!
A Peter je čakal in trkal. Ko pa odpró, ugledajo ga, in ostrmé.
17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet. Then he told them exactly how the Lord [God] had led him out of the prison. He [also] said, “Tell James, the [leader] of our [congregation], and our [other] fellow believers what has happened.” Then [Peter left and] went away to another town.
Namignivši pa z roko, naj molčé, razloží jim, kako ga je Gospod izpeljal iz ječe. In reče: Sporočite to Jakobu in bratom. In izšel je, in odšel je v drugi kraj.
18 The next morning the soldiers [who had been guarding] Peter became terribly distressed, [because they did not know] what had happened to him.
Ko se je pa zdanilo, ni bil majhen strah med vojaki, kaj da se je s Petrom zgodilo.
19 Then Herod [heard about it]. So he [commanded soldiers] to search for Peter, but they did not find him. Then he questioned the soldiers [who had been guarding Peter], and asked them, “[How did Peter get away when you were there guarding him?]” [But they could not explain it. So] he commanded them to be led away [to be executed] {[other soldiers] to lead them away [to execute them]}. [Afterwards], Herod went from Judea [province] down to Caesarea, where he stayed [for some time].
Herod pa, ko ga je zahteval in ga ni našel, izpraša varuhe, in ukaže jih odpeljati: in snide iz Judeje v Cezarejo, ter je tu živel.
20 King Herod had been furiously angry with the people [who lived] in Tyre and Sidon [cities. Then] one day some men [who represented them] came unitedly [to Caesarea in order to meet with] Herod. They persuaded Blastus, who was one of Herod’s important officials, to tell [Herod] that the people [in their cities] wanted to make peace [with him. They wanted to be able to trade with the people that Herod ruled], because they needed to buy food from those regions. [Herod had commanded the people in the areas he ruled to stop selling food to the people in those cities].
Bil je pa Herod jezen na Tirce in Sidonce; a oni enodušno pridejo k njemu, in pregovorivši Blasta komornika kraljevega, prosili so mirú, za to, ker je njih dežela dobivala živež iz kraljeve.
21 On the day that Herod had planned to [meet with them], he put on (very expensive clothes that showed that he was king/his royal robes). Then he sat on his (throne/chair from which he ruled [people]), and [formally] addressed [all] the people [who had gathered there].
A odločeni dan se je oblekel Herod v kraljevo oblačilo, in sedši na sodišče, govoril jim je.
22 Those who [were listening to him] shouted repeatedly, “[This man who] is speaking is a god, not a man!”
Ljudstvo pa je vpilo: Božji glas je to, a ne človeški.
23 So, because Herod [let the people praise him] instead of praising God, immediately an angel [from] the Lord [God] caused Herod to become seriously ill. [Many] worms ate his intestines, and [soon] he died [very painfully].
Pri tej priči pa ga je udaril angelj Gospodov, za to ker ni dal slave Bogu: in sneden od črvov je umrl.
24 [The believers] continued telling God’s message to people in many places, and ([the number of people who believed in Jesus] was continually increasing/there were continually more and more people who were believing in Jesus).
A beseda Gospodova je rastla in razširjala se.
25 When Barnabas and Saul finished [delivering the money to help the Jewish believers in Judea], they left Jerusalem and returned [to Antioch, in Syria province]. They took John, whose other name was Mark, with them.
A Barnaba in Savel sta se vrnila iz Jeruzalema, ko sta bila opravila službo, in vzela sta s seboj tudi Janeza s priimkom Marka.
