Kisah Para Rasul 12
1 Sekitar waktu itu juga, Raja Herodes mulai menganiaya beberapa anggota gereja.
Now about that time, Herod the king stretched forth [his] hands to afflict certain of the church.
2 Dia memerintahkan agar Yakobus, saudara laki-laki Yohanes, dieksekusi dengan pedang.
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 Ketika dia melihat bahwa orang-orang Yahudi senang dengan perbuatan yang dia lakukan, dia kemudian menangkap Petrus juga. (Peristiwa ini terjadi pada Hari Raya Roti Tidak Beragi.)
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Then were the days of unleavened bread.
4 Petrus ditangkap, dan dijebloskan ke dalam penjara, dengan dijaga oleh empat regu yang masing-masing terdiri dari empat tentara. Herodes berencana mengadili Petrus di muka umum sesudah perayaan Paskah.
And when he had apprehended him, he 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 Ketika Petrus ditahan di dalam penjara, anggota jemaat berdoa dengan sungguh-sungguh kepada Allah untuknya.
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him.
6 Pada malam sebelum Herodes harus mengadili dia, Petrus sedang tidur di antara dua tentara, kedua tangannya diikat dengan rantai ke tangan masing-masing prajurit, dan dengan penjaga di depan pintu berjaga-jaga.
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 Tiba-tiba ada malaikat Tuhan muncul, dan cahaya bersinar di dalam sel. Malaikat itu membangunkan Petrus sambil berkata, “Cepat! Bangun!” Rantai-rantai itu lepas dari pergelangan tangannya,
And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon [him], and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from [his] hands.
8 dan malaikat itu berkata kepadanya, “Berpakaianlah, dan kenakan sandalmu.” Dan Petrus melakukannya. Kemudian malaikat itu berkata kepadanya, “Pakai mantelmu dan ikuti aku.”
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and so he did. And he saith to him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 Lalu Petrus mengikuti malaikat itu keluar. Dia tidak menyadari bahwa apa yang malaikat itu lakukan benar-benar terjadi — dia pikir dia sedang melihat sebuah penglihatan.
And he went out, and followed him, and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10 Mereka melewati pasukan penjaga pertama dan kedua, dan sampai di pintu gerbang besi yang menuju ke kota. Pintu gerbang ini terbuka untuk mereka dengan sendirinya. Mereka keluar dan melanjutkan perjalanan, ketika tiba-tiba malaikat itu meninggalkannya.
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11 Ketika Petrus sadar, dia berkata, “Sekarang aku sadar ini benar-benar terjadi! Tuhan sudah mengutus malaikat untuk menyelamatkan aku dari kekuasaan Herodes, dan dari segala sesuatu yang sudah direncanakan oleh orang-orang Yahudi.”
And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know with certainty, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and [from] all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Sekarang sesudah dia menyadari apa yang terjadi, Petrus pergi ke rumah Maria, ibu dari Yohanes Markus. Banyak orang percaya berkumpul di sana, dan berdoa.
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 assembled, praying.
13 Ketika dia mengetuk pintu gerbang, seorang gadis pelayan bernama Rhoda datang untuk membuka.
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 Namun gadis itu tidak membukakan pintu karena terlalu gembira ketika dia mengenali suara Petrus. Dia kembali berlari masuk ke dalam rumah sambil berteriak, “Petrus ada di depan pintu!”
And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate
15 “Kamu gila!” kata mereka. Tetapi Rhoda terus bersikeras bahwa itu benar. Jadi mereka berkata, “Itu pasti malaikatnya.”
And they said to her, Thou art insane. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.
16 Petrus terus mengetuk. Ketika mereka akhirnya membuka pintu, mereka melihat ternyata benar memang Petrus, dan mereka sangat terkejut.
But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened [the door], and saw him, they were astonished.
17 Petrus mengangkat tangannya agar mereka diam, lalu menjelaskan kepada mereka bagaimana Tuhan sudah menuntunnya keluar dari penjara. “Katakan kepada Yakobus dan saudara-saudara lainnya tentang ini,” katanya kepada mereka, lalu pergi ke tempat lain.
But he beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, show these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
18 Ketika fajar tiba, tentara-tentara itu sangat bingung dengan apa yang terjadi pada Petrus.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 Herodes sudah memerintahkan untuk mencari dia dengan saksama, tetapi para prajurit tidak dapat menemukannya. Sesudah menginterogasi para penjaga, Herodes memerintahkan agar mereka dieksekusi.
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that [they] should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and [there] abode.
20 Herodes marah kepada orang Tirus dan Sidon. Mereka bersatu mengirim pesan untuk menemuinya dan berhasil memenangkan Blastus, asisten pribadi raja, untuk berpihak kepada mereka. Mereka memohon perdamaian dengan Herodes karena mereka bergantung pada wilayah raja untuk memenuhi kebutuhan makanan mereka.
And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. But they came with one accord to him, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace, because their country was nourished by the king's [country].
21 Ketika harinya tiba untuk perjanjian mereka dengan raja, Herodes mengenakan jubah kerajaannya, duduk di singgasananya, dan memberikan pidato kepada mereka.
And upon a set day, Herod arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them.
22 Penonton berteriak menanggapi, “Ini adalah suara dewa, bukan suara manusia!”
And the people gave a shout, [saying], [It is] the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 Seketika itu juga malaikat Tuhan memukulnya, sebab Herodes mengambil kemuliaan yang seharusnya diberikan kepada Allah. Dia dimakan oleh cacing dan mati.
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died.
24 Tetapi firman Tuhan menyebar, dan semakin banyak orang menjadi percaya kepada Yesus.
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 Barnabas dan Saul kembali dari Yerusalem sesudah mereka menyelesaikan misi mereka, membawa serta Yohanes Markus bersama dengan mereka.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled [their] ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
