کارهای رسولان 12
| و در آن زمان هیرودیس پادشاه، دست تطاول بر بعضی از کلیسا دراز کرد | ۱ 1 |
It was at that time that King Herod began to ill-treat some of the members of the church.
| ویعقوب برادر یوحنا را به شمشیر کشت. | ۲ 2 |
He had James, the brother of John, beheaded;
| و چون دید که یهود را پسند افتاد، بر آن افزوده، پطرس رانیز گرفتار کرد و ایام فطیر بود. | ۳ 3 |
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.)
| پس او را گرفته، در زندان انداخت و به چهار دسته رباعی سپاهیان سپرد که او را نگاهبانی کنند و اراده داشت که بعداز فصح او را برای قوم بیرون آورد. | ۴ 4 |
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.
| پس پطرس را در زندان نگاه می‌داشتند. | ۵ 5 |
So Peter was kept in prison, but meanwhile the prayers of the church were being earnestly offered to God on his behalf.
| و در شبی که هیرودیس قصد بیرون آوردن وی داشت، پطرس به دو زنجیر بسته، درمیان دو سپاهی خفته بود و کشیکچیان نزد درزندان را نگاهبانی می‌کردند. | ۶ 6 |
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.
| ناگاه فرشته خداوند نزد وی حاضر شد و روشنی در آن خانه درخشید. پس به پهلوی پطرس زده، او را بیدارنمود و گفت: «بزودی برخیز.» که در ساعت زنجیرها از دستش فرو ریخت. | ۷ 7 |
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.’
| و فرشته وی راگفت: «کمر خود را ببند و نعلین برپا کن.» پس چنین کرد و به وی گفت: «ردای خود را بپوش و ازعقب من بیا.» | ۸ 8 |
The chains dropped from his wrists, and then the angel said, ‘Put on your belt and sandals.’ When Peter had done so, the angel added, ‘Throw your cloak round you and follow me.’
| پس بیرون شده، از عقب او روانه گردید و ندانست که آنچه از فرشته روی نمودحقیقی است بلکه گمان برد که خواب می‌بیند. | ۹ 9 |
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.
| پس از قراولان اول و دوم گذشته، به دروازه آهنی که به سوی شهر می‌رود رسیدند و آن خودبخود پیش روی ایشان باز شد؛ و از آن بیرون رفته، تا آخر یک کوچه برفتند که در ساعت فرشته از او غایب شد. | ۱۰ 10 |
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.
| آنگاه پطرس به خودآمده گفت: «اکنون به تحقیق دانستم که خداوندفرشته خود را فرستاده، مرا از دست هیرودیس واز تمامی انتظار قوم یهود رهانید.» | ۱۱ 11 |
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.’
| چون این را دریافت، به خانه مریم مادریوحنای ملقب به مرقس آمد و در آنجا بسیاری جمع شده، دعا می‌کردند. | ۱۲ 12 |
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.
| چون او در خانه راکوبید، کنیزی رودا نام آمد تا بفهمد. | ۱۳ 13 |
On his knocking at the door in the gate, a maidservant, named Rhoda, came to answer it.
| چون آوازپطرس را شناخت، از خوشی در را باز نکرده، به اندرون شتافته، خبر داد که «پطرس به درگاه ایستاده است.» | ۱۴ 14 |
She recognized Peter’s voice, but in her joy left the gate unopened, and ran in, and told them that Peter was standing outside.
| وی را گفتند: «دیوانه‌ای.» وچون تاکید کرد که چنین است، گفتند که فرشته اوباشد.» | ۱۵ 15 |
‘You are mad!’ they exclaimed. But, when she persisted that it was so, they said, ‘It must be his spirit!’
| اما پطرس پیوسته در را می‌کوبید. پس در را گشوده، او را دیدند و در حیرت افتادند. | ۱۶ 16 |
Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, and, when they opened the gate and saw him, they were amazed.
| اما او به‌دست خود به سوی ایشان اشاره کردکه خاموش باشند و بیان نمود که چگونه خدا او رااز زندان خلاصی داد و گفت: «یعقوب و سایربرادران را از این امور مطلع سازید.» پس بیرون شده، به‌جای دیگر رفت | ۱۷ 17 |
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 others all this.’ Then he left the house, and went away to another place.
| و چون روز شداضطرابی عظیم در سپاهیان افتاد که پطرس را چه شد. | ۱۸ 18 |
In the morning there was a great stir among the soldiers – what could have become of Peter!
| و هیرودیس چون او را طلبیده نیافت، کشیکچیان را بازخواست نموده، فرمود تا ایشان را به قتل رسانند؛ و خود از یهودیه به قیصریه کوچ کرده، در آنجا اقامت نمود. | ۱۹ 19 |
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.
| اما هیرودیس با اهل صور و صیدون خشمناک شد. پس ایشان به یکدل نزد او حاضرشدند و بلاستس ناظر خوابگاه پادشاه را با خودمتحد ساخته، طلب مصالحه کردند زیرا که دیارایشان از ملک پادشاه معیشت می‌یافت. | ۲۰ 20 |
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.
| و درروزی معین، هیرودیس لباس ملوکانه در بر کرد وبر مسند حکومت نشسته، ایشان را خطاب می‌کرد. | ۲۱ 21 |
On an appointed day Herod, wearing his state robes, seated himself on his throne, and delivered an oration.
| و خلق ندا می‌کردند که آواز خداست نه آواز انسان. | ۲۲ 22 |
The people kept shouting, ‘It is the voice of God, and not of a person!’
| که در ساعت فرشته خداوند اورا زد زیرا که خدا را تمجید ننمود و کرم او راخورد که بمرد. | ۲۳ 23 |
Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was attacked with worms, and died.
| اما کلام خدا نمو کرده، ترقی یافت. | ۲۴ 24 |
Meanwhile the Lord’s message kept extending, and spreading far and wide.
| و برنابا و سولس چون آن خدمت را به انجام رسانیدند، از اورشلیم مراجعت کردند و یوحنای ملقب به مرقس را همراه خود بردند. | ۲۵ 25 |
When Barnabas and Saul had carried out their mission, they returned to Jerusalem, and took with them John, who was also known as Mark.
