Фаптеле 12
1 Кам пе ачеяшь време, ымпэратул Ирод а пус мыниле пе уний дин Бисерикэ, пентру ка сэ-й кинуяскэ,
It was about this time that King Herod [Agrippa sent soldiers] [MTY] who seized [and put in prison] some of the [leaders] of the congregation [in Jerusalem. He did that] because he wanted to make the believers suffer.
2 ши а учис ку сабия пе Иаков, фрателе луй Иоан.
He commanded [a soldier] to cut off the head of [the apostle] James, the [older] brother of [the apostle] John.
3 Кынд а вэзут кэ лукрул ачеста плаче иудеилор, а май пус мына ши пе Петру. (Ерау зилеле Празникулуй Азимелор.)
When Herod realized that he had pleased the [leaders of the] Jewish people by [doing that], he commanded [soldiers] to arrest Peter [in order to kill him], too. This happened during the festival [when the Jewish people ate] bread [that] did not have yeast.
4 Дупэ че л-а принс ши л-а бэгат ын темницэ, л-а пус суб паза а патру чете де кыте патру осташь, ку гынд ка дупэ Паште сэ-л скоатэ ынаинтя нородулуй.
After [they] seized Peter, they put him in prison. They arranged for four groups of soldiers to guard Peter. Each [group] had four soldiers. [Every three hours a different group began to guard him while the others rested]. Herod wanted to bring Peter out [of prison and judge him] in front of the [Jewish] people after the Passover [Festival was finished. He then planned to command soldiers to execute Peter].
5 Деч Петру ера пэзит ын темницэ, ши Бисерика ну ынчета сэ ыналце ругэчунь кэтре Думнезеу пентру ел.
So [for several days] Peter was kept {they kept Peter} in prison. But the [other believers] in the congregation at [Jerusalem] were praying earnestly to God [that he would help] Peter.
6 Ын ноаптя зилей кынд авя де гынд Ирод сэ-л ынфэцишезе ла жудекатэ, Петру дормя ынтре дой осташь, легат де мынь ку доуэ ланцурь, ши ниште пэзиторь пэзяу темница ла ушэ.
The night [before] Herod planned to bring Peter out [from prison to have him executed] publicly, Peter was sleeping [in the prison] between two soldiers, with two chains binding his arms [to the arms of the soldiers. Two other] soldiers were guarding the prison doors.
7 Ши ятэ, ун ынӂер ал Домнулуй а стат лынгэ ел пе неаштептате ши о луминэ а стрэлучит ын темницэ. Ынӂерул а дештептат пе Петру, ловинду-л ын коастэ, ши й-а зис: „Скоалэ-те, юте!” Ланцуриле й-ау кэзут жос де пе мынь.
Suddenly an angel [from] the Lord [God] stood [beside Peter], and a [bright] light shone in his cell. The angel poked Peter in the side and woke him up and said, “Get up quickly!” [While Peter was getting up], the chains fell off from his wrists. [However, the soldiers were not aware of what was happening].
8 Апой, ынӂерул й-а зис: „Ынчинӂе-те ши лягэ-ць ынкэлцэминтя.” Ши ел а фэкут аша. Ынӂерул й-а май зис: „Ымбракэ-те ын хайнэ ши вино дупэ мине.”
Then the angel said to Peter, “Put on your clothes and sandals!” So Peter did. Then the angel said to him, “Fasten your belt/girdle [around you(sg)] and put on your sandals!” So Peter did that. Then the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me!”
9 Петру а ешит афарэ ши а мерс дупэ ел, фэрэ сэ штие дакэ че фэчя ынӂерул есте адевэрат. И се пэря кэ аре о ведение.
So, [after Peter put on his cloak and sandals], he followed [the angel] out [of the prison cell], but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. He thought [that he] was seeing a vision.
10 Дупэ че ау трекут де стража ынтый ши а доуа, ау ажунс ла поарта де фер, каре дэ ын четате, ши еа ли с-а дескис сингурэ; ау ешит ши ау трекут ынтр-о улицэ. Ындатэ, ынӂерул а плекат де лынгэ ел.
Peter and the angel walked by the soldiers who were guarding the two doors, [but the soldiers did not see them. Then] they came to the iron gate that [led] out into the city. The gate opened by itself, and Peter and the angel walked out [of the prison]. After they had walked [a ways] along one street, the angel suddenly disappeared.
11 Кынд шь-а венит Петру ын фире, а зис: „Акум вэд ку адевэрат кэ Домнул а тримис пе ынӂерул Сэу ши м-а скэпат дин мына луй Ирод ши де ла тот че аштепта попорул иудеу.”
Then Peter [finally] realized that [what had happened to him was not a vision, but] it had really happened. So he said [to himself], “Now I really know that the Lord [God] sent an angel [to help me]. He rescued me from what Herod planned to do [MTY] [to me], and [also] from all the things that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] expected [that Herod would do to me].”
12 Дупэ че шь-а дат бине сяма де челе ынтымплате, с-а ындрептат спре каса Марией, мама луй Иоан, зис ши Марку, унде ерау адунаць мулць лаолалтэ ши се ругау.
When Peter realized [that God had rescued him], he went to Mary’s house. She was the mother of John whose other name was Mark. Many [believers] had assembled there, and they were praying [that God would help Peter somehow].
13 А бэтут ла уша каре дэдя ын придвор, ши о служникэ, нумитэ Рода, а венит сэ вадэ чине е.
When Peter knocked at the outer entrance, a servant girl named Rhoda came to find out [who was outside the door].
14 А куноскут гласул луй Петру ши, де букурие, ын лок сэ дескидэ, а алергат ынэунтру сэ дя де весте кэ Петру стэ ынаинтя порций.
[When Peter answered her], she recognized his voice, but she was so happy [and excited] that she did not open the door! Instead, she ran back [into the house]. She [excitedly] announced [to the other believers] that Peter was standing outside the door.
15 „Ешть небунэ!” й-ау зис ей. Дар еа стэруя ши спуня кэ ел есте. Ей, димпотривэ, зичяу: „Есте ынӂерул луй.”
But [one of] them said to her, “You [(sg)] are crazy!” But she continued saying that it was [really true. Then] they repeatedly said, “[No], [it cannot be Peter]. It is [probably] the angel [who was guarding] him [who has come] (OR, It is the angel [who has guarded/protected] him, [and he has come to tell us that] Peter [has died].)”
16 Петру ынсэ бэтя мереу. Ау дескис ши ау рэмас ынкремениць кынд л-ау вэзут.
But Peter continued knocking [on the door. So when someone finally] opened the door, they saw that it was Peter, and they were completely amazed!
17 Петру ле-а фэкут семн ку мына сэ такэ, ле-а историсит кум ыл скосесе Домнул дин темницэ ши а зис: „Спунець лукрул ачеста луй Иаков ши фрацилор.” Апой а ешит ши с-а дус ынтр-алт лок.
Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet. Then he told them exactly how the Lord [God] had led him out of the prison. He [also] said, “Tell James, the [leader] of our [congregation], and our [other] fellow believers what has happened.” Then [Peter left and] went away to another town.
18 Кынд с-а фэкут зиуэ, осташий ау фост ынтр-о маре фербере, ка сэ штие че с-а фэкут Петру.
The next morning the soldiers [who had been guarding] Peter became terribly distressed, [because they did not know] what had happened to him.
19 Ирод, дупэ че л-а кэутат ын тоате пэрциле ши ну л-а афлат, а луат ла черчетаре пе пэзиторь ши а порунчит сэ-й омоаре. Ын урмэ, с-а коборыт дин Иудея ла Чезарея, ка сэ рэмынэ аколо.
Then Herod [heard about it]. So he [commanded soldiers] to search for Peter, but they did not find him. Then he questioned the soldiers [who had been guarding Peter], and asked them, “[How did Peter get away when you were there guarding him?]” [But they could not explain it. So] he commanded them to be led away [to be executed] {[other soldiers] to lead them away [to execute them]}. [Afterwards], Herod went from Judea [province] down to Caesarea, where he stayed [for some time].
20 Ирод ера фоарте мыният пе чей дин Тир ши дин Сидон. Дар ачештя ау венит тоць ынтр-ун гынд ла ел ши, дупэ че ау кыштигат де партя лор пе Бласт, каре ера май маре песте одая де дормит а ымпэратулуй, ау черут паче, пентру кэ цара лор се хрэня дин цара ымпэратулуй.
King Herod had been furiously angry with the people [who lived] in Tyre and Sidon [cities. Then] one day some men [who represented them] came unitedly [to Caesarea in order to meet with] Herod. They persuaded Blastus, who was one of Herod’s important officials, to tell [Herod] that the people [in their cities] wanted to make peace [with him. They wanted to be able to trade with the people that Herod ruled], because they needed to buy food from those regions. [Herod had commanded the people in the areas he ruled to stop selling food to the people in those cities].
21 Ынтр-о зи анумитэ, Ирод с-а ымбрэкат ку хайнеле луй ымпэрэтешть, а шезут пе скаунул луй ымпэрэтеск ши ле ворбя.
On the day that Herod had planned to [meet with them], he put on (very expensive clothes that showed that he was king/his royal robes). Then he sat on his (throne/chair from which he ruled [people]), and [formally] addressed [all] the people [who had gathered there].
22 Нородул а стригат: „Глас де Думнезеу, ну де ом!”
Those who [were listening to him] shouted repeatedly, “[This man who] is speaking is a god, not a man!”
23 Ындатэ л-а ловит ун ынӂер ал Домнулуй, пентру кэ ну дэдусе славэ луй Думнезеу. Ши а мурит мынкат де вермь.
So, because Herod [let the people praise him] instead of praising God, immediately an angel [from] the Lord [God] caused Herod to become seriously ill. [Many] worms ate his intestines, and [soon] he died [very painfully].
24 Ынсэ Кувынтул луй Думнезеу се рэспындя тот май мулт, ши нумэрул ученичилор се мэря.
[The believers] continued telling God’s message to people in many places, and ([the number of people who believed in Jesus] was continually increasing/there were continually more and more people who were believing in Jesus).
25 Барнаба ши Саул, дупэ че шь-ау ымплинит ынсэрчинаря, с-ау ынторс дин Иерусалим, луынд ку ей пе Иоан, зис ши Марку.
When Barnabas and Saul finished [delivering the money to help the Jewish believers in Judea], they left Jerusalem and returned [to Antioch, in Syria province]. They took John, whose other name was Mark, with them.
