사도행전 12
1 그 때에 헤롯 왕이 손을 들어 교회 중 몇 사람을 해하려 하여
Now, at about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands to ill- treat certain members of the church;
2 요한의 형제 야고보를 칼로 죽이니
and beheaded James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 유대인들이 이 일을 기뻐하는 것을 보고 베드로도 잡으려 할새 때는 무교절일이라
And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. (This was during the days of unleavened bread.)
4 잡으매 옥에 가두어 군사 넷씩인 네 패에게 맡겨 지키고 유월절 후에 백성 앞에 끌어 내고자 하더라
He had him arrested and thrown in prison, and put under guard of sixteen soldiers. He intended, after the Passover, to bring him forth to the people.
5 이에 베드로는 옥에 갇혔고 교회는 그를 위하여 간절히 하나님께 빌더라
So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer to God was made by the church for him.
6 헤롯이 잡아 내려고 하는 그 전날 밤에 베드로가 두 군사 틈에서 두 쇠사슬에 매여 누워 자는데 파수군들이 문 밖에서 옥을 지키더니
Now when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that very night, while Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison,
7 홀연히 주의 사자가 곁에 서매 옥중에 광채가 조요하며 또 베드로의 옆구리를 쳐 깨워 가로되 `급히 일어나라' 하니 쇠사슬이 그 손에서 벗어지더라
suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side, he woke him saying, "Rise up quickly." At once the chains dropped from his hands.
8 천사가 가로되 `띠를 띠고 신을 들메라' 하거늘 베드로가 그대로 하니 천사가 또 가로되 `겉옷을 입고 따라 오라' 한대
"Gird yourself," said the angel, "and put on your sandals." He did so. Then he said unto him, "Throw your cloak about you, and follow me."
9 베드로가 나와서 따라갈새 천사의 하는 것이 참인 줄 알지 못하고 환상을 보는가 하니라
So Peter went out, following him, but did not realize that what the angel was doing was real, but supposed that he was seeing a vision.
10 이에 첫째와 둘째 파수를 지나 성으로 통한 쇠문에 이르니 문이 절로 열리는지라 나와 한 거리를 지나매 천사가 곧 떠나더라
And when they had passed the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that led to the city. This opened to them of its own accord; and they went out passed on through one street; and suddenly the angel left him.
11 이에 베드로가 정신이 나서 가로되 `내가 이제야 참으로 주께서 그의 천사를 보내어 나를 헤롯의 손과 유대 백성의 모든 기대에서 벗어나게 하신 줄 알겠노라' 하여
Peter, coming to himself, said, "Now I know for a certainty that the Lord has sent his angel and released me from the hand of Herod, and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating."
12 깨닫고 마가라 하는 요한의 어머니 마리아의 집에 가니 여러 사람이 모여 기도하더라
So, after he had thought things over, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John, surnamed Mark, where a large number of people were assembled, praying.
13 베드로가 대문을 두드린대 로데라 하는 계집아이가 영접하러 나왔다가
When he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid servant named Rhoda came to answer.
14 베드로의 음성인 줄 알고 기뻐하여 문을 미처 열지 못하고 달려 들어가 말하되 `베드로가 대문 밖에 섰더라' 하니
And when she recognized Peter’s voice, for very joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15 저희가 말하되 `네가 미쳤다' 하나 계집아이는 힘써 말하되 `참말이라' 하니 저희가 말하되 `그러면 그의 천사라' 하더라
"You are mad," they said. But she confidently insisted that it was so. "It is his angel," they said.
16 베드로가 문 두드리기를 그치지 아니하니 저희가 문을 열어 베드로를 보고 놀라는지라
Meanwhile Peter continued to knock, until at last they opened the door, and were amazed to see that it was really he.
17 베드로가 저희에게 손짓하여 종용하게 하고 주께서 자기를 이끌어 옥에서 나오게 하던 일을 말하고 또 야고보와 형제들에게 이 말을 전하라 하고 떠나 다른 곳으로 가니라
He motioned to them to keep quiet, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell all this to James," he said, "and to the brothers," and away he went to another place.
18 날이 새매 군사들은 베드로가 어떻게 되었는지 알지 못하여 적지 않게 소동하니
When morning came there was no small stir among the soldiers as to what could possibly have become of Peter.
19 헤롯이 그를 찾아도 보지 못하매 파숫군들을 심문하고 죽이라 명하니라 헤롯이 유대를 떠나 가이사랴로 내려가서 거하니라
Then Herod had search made for him, and could not find him. After sharply questioning the guards, he ordered them off to execution. He then went down from Judea to Caesarea, where he stayed for some time.
20 헤롯이 두로와 시돈 사람들을 대단히 노여워하나 저희 지방이 왕국에서 나는 양식을 쓰는고로 일심으로 그에게 나아와 왕의 침소맡은 신하 블라스도를 친하여 화목하기를 청한지라
Now Herod was violently displeased with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him, with one accord, and after conciliating Blastus, the royal chamberlain, they begged for peace because their country depended upon the king’s country for its food supply.
21 헤롯이 날을 택하여 왕복을 입고 위에 앉아 백성을 효유한대
So on the appointed day, Herod put on his royal robes, and after taking his seat upon the throne, began to harangue them.
22 백성들이 크게 부르되 이것은 신의 소리요 사람의 소리는 아니라 하거늘
"The voice of a god, and not of a man," the people kept shouting.
23 헤롯이 영광을 하나님께로 돌리지 아니하는고로 주의 사자가 곧 치니 충이 먹어 죽으니라
Instantly an angel of the Lord smote him, because he had not given God the glory, and being eaten up by worms, he died.
24 하나님의 말씀은 흥왕하여 더하더라
But the word of God grew and multiplied;
25 바나바와 사울이 부조의 일을 마치고 마가라 하는 요한을 데리고 예루살렘에서 돌아오니라
and after discharging their mission, Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, surnamed Mark.
