< Apustuļu Darbi 12 >
1 Un ap to pašu laiku ķēniņš Hērodus kādiem no tās draudzes pielika rokas, tiem ļaunu darīdams,
At that time Herod the king undertook to afflict some of the church.
2 Un nokāva ar zobenu Jēkabu, Jāņa brāli.
And he slew with the sword James the brother of John.
3 Un redzēdams, ka tas tiem Jūdu ļaudīm patika, viņš turklāt arī vēl Pēteri sagrāba, (bet bija tās neraudzētās maizes dienas)
And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he apprehended Peter also. Those were the days of unleavened bread.
4 Un sagrābis to lika cietumā, un to nodeva sešpadsmit karavīriem, kas pa četriem to sargāja, gribēdams viņu pēc Lieldienas tiem ļaudīm vest priekšā.
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four tetrads of soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the passover.
5 Tad nu Pēteris cietumā tapa sargāts; bet tā draudze bez mitēšanās lūdza Dievu par viņu.
Therefore, Peter was kept in prison; but fervent prayer to God was made for him by the church.
6 Un kad Hērodus viņu gribēja priekšā vest, tanī pašā naktī Pēteris gulēja starp diviem karavīriem, ar divām ķēdēm saistīts, un tie sargi priekš durvīm sargāja to cietumu.
When Herod was about to bring him out, on that night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the doors were guarding the prison.
7 Un redzi, Tā Kunga eņģelis piestājās, un gaišums spīdēja tanī ēkā; un viņš piesita Pēterim pie sāniem un to uzmodināja sacīdams: “Celies drīz!” Un ķēdes nokrita no viņa rokām.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison. And he gently struck Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying: Arise quickly; and his chains fell from his hands.
8 Un tas eņģelis uz to sacīja: “Apjozies un apauni kājas!” Un tas tā darīja. Un viņš uz to sacīja: “Apmet savu mēteli un nāc man līdz.”
And the angel said to him: Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals; and he did so. And he said to him: Throw your mantle around you, and follow me.
9 Un tas iznācis viņam gāja līdz un nezināja to tiešām caur eņģeli notiekam; bet tam likās, ka redzot kādu parādīšanu.
And he went out, and followed him; and he knew not that what was done by the angel was real, but thought that he saw a vision.
10 Un caur pirmo un otru vakti gājuši, tie nāca pie tiem dzelzs vārtiem, kas iet uz pilsētu; tie paši no sevis tiem atdarījās; un izgājuši tie vienu ielu nostaigāja un tūdaļ tas eņģelis no tā atstājās.
And when they had passed through the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads to the city, which opened to them of its own accord. And they went out, and passed on through one street; and the angel immediately departed from him.
11 Un Pēteris atjēdzies sacīja: “Tagad es tiešām zinu, ka Tas Kungs Savu eņģeli ir sūtījis un mani izpestījis no Hērodus rokas un no visas Jūdu ļaužu gaidīšanas.”
And when Peter came to himself, he said: Now I know, in truth, that the Lord has sent his angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all that was expected by the Jewish people.
12 Un to nopratis viņš nāca pie Marijas nama, kas bija māte Jānim, kam pavārds Marks; tur daudz bija sapulcējušies Dievu lūgt.
And being aware of his condition, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where many had met together, and were praying.
13 Un Pēterim pie vārtu durvīm klaudzinot, viena kalpone, ar vārdu Rode, nāca klausīties.
And when he knocked at the door of the entrance, a maid-servant, named Rhoda, came to listen.
14 Un Pētera balsi pazīdama, tā aiz prieka tos vārtus neatdarīja, bet ietecēja un pasludināja, ka Pēteris stāvot priekš vārtiem.
And recognizing Peter’s voice, she did not open the entrance for joy, but ran in and told that Peter was standing before the entrance.
15 Bet tie uz viņu sacīja: “Vai tu traka?” Bet viņa uz to pastāvēja, tā esot. Bet tie sacīja: “Tas ir viņa eņģelis.”
And they said to her: You are mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. Then said hey: It is his angel.
16 Bet Pēteris joprojām klaudzināja; un atdarījuši tie viņu redzēja un iztrūkās.
But Peter continued to knock; and when they had opened the door, they saw him, and were astonished.
17 Bet viņš meta ar roku, lai būtu klusu, un tiem stāstīja, kā Tas Kungs viņu bija izvedis no cietuma. Un viņš sacīja: “Pasakiet to Jēkabam un tiem brāļiem;” un viņš izgājis devās uz citu vietu.
But, having made a sign to them with his hand, that they should keep silence, he made known to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, and he said: Tell this to James, and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place.
18 Un kad gaisma ausa, tad tie karavīri gauži iztrūkās, kas gan ar Pēteri esot noticis.
And when it was day, there was no little confusion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
19 Bet kad Hērodus viņu bija meklējis un nebija atradis, tad viņš tos sargus priekš tiesas izvaicājis pavēlēja, tos novest (pie nāves); un viņš nogāja no Jūdu zemes uz Cezareju un tur mita.
But Herod, when he had sought for him, and found him not, examined the keepers, and commanded them to be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarean, and there he remained.
20 Un Hērodus apņēmās karot pret Tirus un Sidonas ļaudīm; bet tie nāca vienprātīgi pie viņa, un pārrunājuši Blastu, kas bija uzraugs pār tā ķēniņa guļamo kambari, tie lūdza mieru, tāpēc ka viņu zeme savu uzturu ņēma no ķēniņa zemes.
And he was intending to make war upon the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came with one consent to him; and having made Blastus, who had charge of the king’s bed-chamber, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was supported by that of the king.
21 Un kādā noliktā dienā Hērodus aptērpās ar ķēniņa drēbēm un sēdēja uz goda krēsla un uz tiem runāja ļaužu priekšā.
And on an appointed day, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal apparel, and seated himself on his throne, delivered an oration to them.
22 Un tie ļaudis uzkliedza: “Tā ir dieva un ne cilvēka balss.”
And the people shouted: It is the voice of God, and not of man.
23 Un tūdaļ Tā Kunga eņģelis viņu sita, tāpēc ka viņš Dievam to godu nedeva. Un viņš no tārpiem tapa ēsts un nomira.
And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he did not give God the glory. And having been eaten by worms, he expired.
24 Bet Dieva vārds auga un vairojās.
But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
25 Bet Barnaba un Sauls, kad tie to palīdzību bija nonesuši, griezās atpakaļ no Jeruzālemes un ņēma līdz arī Jāni, ar pavārdu Marks.
And Barnabas and Saul, after they had fulfilled their ministry, returned from Jerusalem, taking with them John, whose surname was Mark.
