사도행전 12
1 그 때에 헤롯 왕이 손을 들어 교회 중 몇 사람을 해하려 하여
It was at that time that King Herod began to ill-treat some of the members of the Church.
2 요한의 형제 야고보를 칼로 죽이니
He had James, the brother of John, beheaded;
3 유대인들이 이 일을 기뻐하는 것을 보고 베드로도 잡으려 할새 때는 무교절일이라
and, when he saw that the Jews were pleased with this, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (This was during the Festival of the Unleavened Bread.)
4 잡으매 옥에 가두어 군사 넷씩인 네 패에게 맡겨 지키고 유월절 후에 백성 앞에 끌어 내고자 하더라
After seizing Peter, Herod put him in prison, and entrusted him to the keeping of four Guards of four soldiers each, intending, after the Passover, to bring him up before the people.
5 이에 베드로는 옥에 갇혔고 교회는 그를 위하여 간절히 하나님께 빌더라
So Peter was kept in prison, but meanwhile the prayers of the Church were being earnestly offered to God on his behalf.
6 헤롯이 잡아 내려고 하는 그 전날 밤에 베드로가 두 군사 틈에서 두 쇠사슬에 매여 누워 자는데 파수군들이 문 밖에서 옥을 지키더니
Just when Herod was intending to bring him before the people, on that very night Peter was asleep between two soldiers, chained to them both, while there were sentries in front of the door, 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. The angel struck Peter on the side, and roused him with the words: “Get up quickly.”
8 천사가 가로되 `띠를 띠고 신을 들메라' 하거늘 베드로가 그대로 하니 천사가 또 가로되 `겉옷을 입고 따라 오라' 한대
The chains dropped from his wrists, and then the angel said: “Put on your girdle and sandals.” When Peter had done so, the angel added: “Throw your cloak round you and follow me.”
9 베드로가 나와서 따라갈새 천사의 하는 것이 참인 줄 알지 못하고 환상을 보는가 하니라
Peter followed him out, not knowing that what was happening under the angel’s guidance was real, but thinking 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
Passing the first Guard, and then the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city, which opened to them of itself; and, when they had passed through that, and had walked along one street, all at once 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
Then Peter came to himself and said: “Now I know beyond all doubt that the Lord has sent his angel, and has rescued me from Herod’s hands and from all that the Jewish people have been expecting.”
12 깨닫고 마가라 하는 요한의 어머니 마리아의 집에 가니 여러 사람이 모여 기도하더라
As soon as he realized what had happened, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also known as Mark, where a number of people were gathered together, praying.
13 베드로가 대문을 두드린대 로데라 하는 계집아이가 영접하러 나왔다가
On his knocking at the door in the gate, a maidservant, named Rhoda, came to answer it.
14 베드로의 음성인 줄 알고 기뻐하여 문을 미처 열지 못하고 달려 들어가 말하되 `베드로가 대문 밖에 섰더라' 하니
She recognized Peter’s voice, but in her joy left the gate unopened, and ran in, and told them that Peter was standing outside.
15 저희가 말하되 `네가 미쳤다' 하나 계집아이는 힘써 말하되 `참말이라' 하니 저희가 말하되 `그러면 그의 천사라' 하더라
“You are mad!” they exclaimed. But, when she persisted that it was so, they said: “It must be his spirit!”
16 베드로가 문 두드리기를 그치지 아니하니 저희가 문을 열어 베드로를 보고 놀라는지라
Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, and, when they opened the gate and saw him, they were amazed.
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
Peter signed to them with his hand to be silent, and then told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, adding: “Tell James and the Brethren all this.” Then he left the house, and went away to another place.
18 날이 새매 군사들은 베드로가 어떻게 되었는지 알지 못하여 적지 않게 소동하니
In the morning there was a great stir among the soldiers — what could have become of Peter!
19 헤롯이 그를 찾아도 보지 못하매 파숫군들을 심문하고 죽이라 명하니라 헤롯이 유대를 떠나 가이사랴로 내려가서 거하니라
And, when Herod had made further search for him and failed to find him, he closely questioned the Guard, and ordered them away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to stay at Caesarea.
20 헤롯이 두로와 시돈 사람들을 대단히 노여워하나 저희 지방이 왕국에서 나는 양식을 쓰는고로 일심으로 그에게 나아와 왕의 침소맡은 신하 블라스도를 친하여 화목하기를 청한지라
It happened that Herod was deeply offended with the people of Tyre and Sidon, but they went in a body to him, and, having succeeded in winning over Blastus, the Chamberlain, they begged Herod for a reconciliation, because their country was dependent on the King’s for its food-supply.
21 헤롯이 날을 택하여 왕복을 입고 위에 앉아 백성을 효유한대
On an appointed day Herod, wearing his state-robes, seated himself on his throne, and delivered an oration.
22 백성들이 크게 부르되 이것은 신의 소리요 사람의 소리는 아니라 하거늘
The people kept shouting: “It is the voice of God, and not of a man!”
23 헤롯이 영광을 하나님께로 돌리지 아니하는고로 주의 사자가 곧 치니 충이 먹어 죽으니라
Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was attacked with worms, and died.
24 하나님의 말씀은 흥왕하여 더하더라
Meanwhile the Lord’s Message kept extending, and spreading far and wide.
25 바나바와 사울이 부조의 일을 마치고 마가라 하는 요한을 데리고 예루살렘에서 돌아오니라
When Barnabas and Saul had carried out their mission, they returned to Jerusalem, and took with them John, who was also known as Mark.
