Apustuļu Darbi 12
1 Un ap to pašu laiku ķēniņš Hērodus kādiem no tās draudzes pielika rokas, tiem ļaunu darīdams,
NOW at that time Herod the king stretched forth his hand to treat cruelly certain persons belonging to the church.
2 Un nokāva ar zobenu Jēkabu, Jāņa brāli.
And he slew James the brother of John with a sword.
3 Un redzēdams, ka tas tiem Jūdu ļaudīm patika, viņš turklāt arī vēl Pēteri sagrāba, (bet bija tās neraudzētās maizes dienas)
And seeing how agreeable this was to the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. (Then 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.
Whom having apprehended, he put him in prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep guard over him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people for execution.
5 Tad nu Pēteris cietumā tapa sargāts; bet tā draudze bez mitēšanās lūdza Dievu par viņu.
So then Peter was kept in prison: but fervent prayer was offered up by the church to God for him.
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.
Now when Herod was going to bring him forth, the same night was Peter fast asleep between the two soldiers, fastened to them with two chains: and the guards before the door kept 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, lo! an angel of the Lord stood there, and light glared through the apartment: then with a stroke on Peter’s side, he roused him up, and said, 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 thyself up, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said unto him, Wrap thyself in thy mantle, 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 going out, he followed him; and knew not that it was a reality which was done by the angel; but he supposed 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.
So passing through the first ward and the second, they came to the iron door which leads into the city, which opened to them spontaneously: and being come out, they walked forward through one street; and immediately the angel 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 Peter coming to himself, said, Now I know assuredly, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and all the eager expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Un to nopratis viņš nāca pie Marijas nama, kas bija māte Jānim, kam pavārds Marks; tur daudz bija sapulcējušies Dievu lūgt.
And after considering with himself, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark; where many were thronged together, and praying.
13 Un Pēterim pie vārtu durvīm klaudzinot, viena kalpone, ar vārdu Rode, nāca klausīties.
Peter then knocking at the door of the gatetway, there came a damsel to ask who was there, named Rhoda.
14 Un Pētera balsi pazīdama, tā aiz prieka tos vārtus neatdarīja, bet ietecēja un pasludināja, ka Pēteris stāvot priekš vārtiem.
And well knowing Peter’s voice, she opened not the door for joy; but running in, told that Peter was standing before the door.
15 Bet tie uz viņu sacīja: “Vai tu traka?” Bet viņa uz to pastāvēja, tā esot. Bet tie sacīja: “Tas ir viņa eņģelis.”
But they said, Thou art raving. But she confidently persisted that it was so. Then they said, It is his angel.
16 Bet Pēteris joprojām klaudzināja; un atdarījuši tie viņu redzēja un iztrūkās.
But Peter continued knocking: and they opened the door and 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.
Then beckoning with the hand that they should be silent, he informed them in what manner the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Tell James and the brethren these things. And departing thence he went into another place.
18 Un kad gaisma ausa, tad tie karavīri gauži iztrūkās, kas gan ar Pēteri esot noticis.
Now when the day broke, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what could possibly 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.
And Herod sought him out earnestly, but not being able to find him, after having examined the guards strictly, he commanded them to be executed. And going down from Jerusalem to Caesarea, took up his abode there.
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.
Now Herod was fiercely bent on war against the Tyrians and Sidonians: but they presented themselves unanimously before him, and ingratiating themselves with Blastus who was over the king’s bedchamber, they begged for peace; because their country received all their supply of provisions from the king’s territories.
21 Un kādā noliktā dienā Hērodus aptērpās ar ķēniņa drēbēm un sēdēja uz goda krēsla un uz tiem runāja ļaužu priekšā.
Then on a day appointed, Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, and seated on his throne, made an harangue unto them.
22 Un tie ļaudis uzkliedza: “Tā ir dieva un ne cilvēka balss.”
And the populace shouted, It is the voice of a god, and not a man.
23 Un tūdaļ Tā Kunga eņģelis viņu sita, tāpēc ka viņš Dievam to godu nedeva. Un viņš no tārpiem tapa ēsts un nomira.
But instantly the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not the glory to God: and being devoured with worms, he expired.
24 Bet Dieva vārds auga un vairojās.
But the word of the Lord increased, and was widely diffused.
25 Bet Barnaba un Sauls, kad tie to palīdzību bija nonesuši, griezās atpakaļ no Jeruzālemes un ņēma līdz arī Jāni, ar pavārdu Marks.
Then Barnabas and Saul departed from Jerusalem, having completed the distribution of the sum entrusted with them; and they took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
