preritāḥ 12
1 tasmin samaye herodrājo maṇḍalyāḥ kiyajjanebhyo duḥkhaṁ dātuṁ prārabhat|
Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the Assembly.
2 viśeṣato yohanaḥ sodaraṁ yākūbaṁ karavālāghāten hatavān|
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 tasmād yihūdīyāḥ santuṣṭā abhavan iti vijñāya sa pitaramapi dharttuṁ gatavān|
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. ( Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 tadā kiṇvaśūnyapūpotsavasamaya upātiṣṭat; ata utsave gate sati lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ taṁ bahirāneyyāmīti manasi sthirīkṛtya sa taṁ dhārayitvā rakṣṇārtham yeṣām ekaikasaṁghe catvāro janāḥ santi teṣāṁ caturṇāṁ rakṣakasaṁghānāṁ samīpe taṁ samarpya kārāyāṁ sthāpitavān|
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.
5 kintuṁ pitarasya kārāsthitikāraṇāt maṇḍalyā lokā aviśrāmam īśvarasya samīpe prārthayanta|
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the Assembly unto God for him.
6 anantaraṁ herodi taṁ bahirānāyituṁ udyate sati tasyāṁ rātrau pitaro rakṣakadvayamadhyasthāne śṛṅkhaladvayena baddhvaḥ san nidrita āsīt, dauvārikāśca kārāyāḥ sammukhe tiṣṭhanato dvāram arakṣiṣuḥ|
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 etasmin samaye parameśvarasya dūte samupasthite kārā dīptimatī jātā; tataḥ sa dūtaḥ pitarasya kukṣāvāvātaṁ kṛtvā taṁ jāgarayitvā bhāṣitavān tūrṇamuttiṣṭha; tatastasya hastasthaśṛṅkhaladvayaṁ galat patitaṁ|
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 sa dūtastamavadat, baddhakaṭiḥ san pādayoḥ pāduke arpaya; tena tathā kṛte sati dūtastam uktavān gātrīyavastraṁ gātre nidhāya mama paścād ehi|
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 tataḥ pitarastasya paścād vrajana bahiragacchat, kintu dūtena karmmaitat kṛtamiti satyamajñātvā svapnadarśanaṁ jñātavān|
And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10 itthaṁ tau prathamāṁ dvitīyāñca kārāṁ laṅghitvā yena lauhanirmmitadvāreṇa nagaraṁ gamyate tatsamīpaṁ prāpnutāṁ; tatastasya kavāṭaṁ svayaṁ muktamabhavat tatastau tatsthānād bahi rbhūtvā mārgaikasya sīmāṁ yāvad gatau; tato'kasmāt sa dūtaḥ pitaraṁ tyaktavān|
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11 tadā sa cetanāṁ prāpya kathitavān nijadūtaṁ prahitya parameśvaro herodo hastād yihūdīyalokānāṁ sarvvāśāyāśca māṁ samuddhṛtavān ityahaṁ niścayaṁ jñātavān|
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 sa vivicya mārkanāmrā vikhyātasya yohano mātu rmariyamo yasmin gṛhe bahavaḥ sambhūya prārthayanta tanniveśanaṁ gataḥ|
And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13 pitareṇa bahirdvāra āhate sati rodānāmā bālikā draṣṭuṁ gatā|
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 tataḥ pitarasya svaraṁ śruvā sā harṣayuktā satī dvāraṁ na mocayitvā pitaro dvāre tiṣṭhatīti vārttāṁ vaktum abhyantaraṁ dhāvitvā gatavatī|
And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 te prāvocan tvamunmattā jātāsi kintu sā muhurmuhuruktavatī satyamevaitat|
And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 tadā te kathitavantastarhi tasya dūto bhavet|
But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
17 pitaro dvāramāhatavān etasminnantare dvāraṁ mocayitvā pitaraṁ dṛṣṭvā vismayaṁ prāptāḥ|
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
18 tataḥ pitaro niḥśabdaṁ sthātuṁ tān prati hastena saṅketaṁ kṛtvā parameśvaro yena prakāreṇa taṁ kārāyā uddhṛtyānītavān tasya vṛttāntaṁ tānajñāpayat, yūyaṁ gatvā yākubaṁ bhrātṛgaṇañca vārttāmetāṁ vadatetyuktā sthānāntaraṁ prasthitavān|
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 prabhāte sati pitaraḥ kva gata ityatra rakṣakāṇāṁ madhye mahān kalaho jātaḥ|
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and there abode.
20 herod bahu mṛgayitvā tasyoddeśe na prāpte sati rakṣakān saṁpṛcchya teṣāṁ prāṇān hantum ādiṣṭavān|
And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country.
21 paścāt sa yihūdīyapradeśāt kaisariyānagaraṁ gatvā tatrāvātiṣṭhat|
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 sorasīdonadeśayo rlokebhyo herodi yuyutsau sati te sarvva ekamantraṇāḥ santastasya samīpa upasthāya lvāstanāmānaṁ tasya vastragṛhādhīśaṁ sahāyaṁ kṛtvā herodā sārddhaṁ sandhiṁ prārthayanta yatastasya rājño deśena teṣāṁ deśīyānāṁ bharaṇam abhavatṁ
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 ataḥ kutracin nirupitadine herod rājakīyaṁ paricchadaṁ paridhāya siṁhāsane samupaviśya tān prati kathām uktavān|
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 tato lokā uccaiḥkāraṁ pratyavadan, eṣa manujaravo na hi, īśvarīyaravaḥ|
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 tadā herod īśvarasya sammānaṁ nākarot; tasmāddhetoḥ parameśvarasya dūto haṭhāt taṁ prāharat tenaiva sa kīṭaiḥ kṣīṇaḥ san prāṇān ajahāt| kintvīśvarasya kathā deśaṁ vyāpya prabalābhavat| tataḥ paraṁ barṇabbāśaulau yasya karmmaṇo bhāraṁ prāpnutāṁ tābhyāṁ tasmin sampādite sati mārkanāmnā vikhyāto yo yohan taṁ saṅginaṁ kṛtvā yirūśālamnagarāt pratyāgatau|
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
