Veprat e Apostujve 12
1 Dhe në atë kohë mbreti Herod filloi të përndjekë disa nga kisha.
BUT at that time Herodes the king, he who was surnamed Agripos, stretched forth hands upon some who were in the church, to ill-treat them.
2 Dhe e vrau me shpatë Jakobin, vëllain e Gjonit.
And he killed with the sword Jakub the brother of Juhanon.
3 Dhe, duke parë se kjo u pëlqente Judenjve, urdhëroi të arrestohet edhe Pjetri (ishin ditët e të Ndormëve).
And when he saw that this pleased the Jihudoyee, he added to apprehend also Shemun Kipha. And they were the days of the Phatiree.
4 Mbasi e arrestoi, e futi në burg dhe ua besoi ruajtjen e tij katër skuadrave, me nga katër ushtarë secila, duke menduar ta nxjerrë para popullit mbas Pashkës.
And he apprehended him and cast him into the house of the bound, and delivered him to sixteen soldiers to keep him, that after the Petscha he might deliver him to the people of the Jihudoyee.
5 Por, ndërsa Pjetrin e ruanin në burg, nga ana e kishës bënin lutje të vazhdueshme te Perëndia për të.
And while Shemun was kept in the house of the bound, constant prayer was offered by the church on his behalf unto Aloha.
6 Dhe natën, para se ta nxirrte Herodi përpara popullit, Pjetri po flinte në mes dy ushtarëve, i lidhur me dy zinxhirë; dhe rojet para portës ruanin burgun.
And in that night of the coming morning when he should be delivered up, while Shemun slept between two soldiers, and bound with two chains, and the others were watching the gates of the house of the bound,
7 Dhe ja, një engjëll i Zotit u duk dhe një dritë e ndriçoi qelinë; dhe ai i ra Pjetrit në ijë, e zgjoi duke thënë: “Çohu shpejt!”. Dhe zinxhirët i ranë nga duart.
the angel of the Lord stood over him, and light shined in all the house.
8 Pastaj engjëlli i tha: “Ngjishu dhe lidhi sandalet!”. Dhe ai bëri kështu. Pastaj i tha: “Mbështillu me mantelin dhe ndiqmë!”.
And he smote him on his side, and said to him, Arise quickly. And the chains fell from his hands. And the angel said to him, bind thy loins, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And again he said to him, Wrap thy mantle, and come after me.
9 Dhe Pjetri, mbasi doli, e ndiqte pa e kuptuar se ç’po i ndodhte me anë të engjëllit ishte e vërtetë; sepse ai pandehte se kishte një vegim.
And he went forth, and came after him; not knowing that what was done by the hand of the angel was reality, for he thought that he saw a vision.
10 Dhe, si kaluan vendrojën e parë dhe të dytë, arritën te dera e hekurt që të çonte në qytet, dhe ajo u hap përpara tyre vetvetiu; dhe, mbasi dolën, përshkuan një rrugë dhe papritmas engjëlli e la atë.
And when he had passed the first and second guard, they came to the gate of iron, and it was opened to them of its own accord. And when they went forth and had passed one street, the angel departed from him.
11 Kur Pjetri erdhi në vete, tha: “Tani me të vërtetë po e di se Zoti ka dërguar engjëllin e vet dhe më liroi nga duart e Herodit duke e bërë të kotë gjithë atë që priste populli i Judenjve”.
Then acknowledged Shemun, and said, Now know I in truth that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me from the hand of Herodes the king, and from that which the Jihudoyee had calculated against me.
12 Kur e kuptoi situatën, ai u nis për në shtëpinë e Marisë, nënës së Gjonit, të mbiquajtur Mark, ku shumë vëllezër ishin mbledhur dhe po luteshin.
And when he had understood, he came to the house of Mariam the mother of Juhanon, he who is surnamed Markos; because many brethren were assembled there and praying.
13 Sapo Pjetri i ra derës së hyrjes, një shërbëtore që quhej Rode u afrua me kujdes për të dëgjuar.
And he knocked at the gate of the court, and there came forth to answer him a damsel whose name was Roda.
14 Dhe, kur njohu zërin e Pjetrit, nga gëzimi nuk e hapi derën, por rendi brenda dhe njoftoi se Pjetri ndodhej para derës.
And she knew the voice of Shemun; and for joy she opened not the gate, but returned with running, and said to them, Shemun, behold, stands at the gate of the court.
15 Por ata i thanë: “Ti flet përçart”. Por ajo pohonte se ashtu ishte. Dhe ata thoshnin: “Éshtë engjëlli i tij!”.
And they said to her, Thou art altogether moved. And she contended that it was so. And they said, It may be that it is his angel.
16 Ndërkaq Pjetri vazhdonte të trokiste. Ata, kur e hapën, e panë atë dhe u mahnitën.
And Shemun knocked at the gate; and they went forth, and seeing him they were astonished.
17 Por ai u bëri shenjë me dorë të heshtnin dhe u tregoi se si Zoti e kishte nxjerrë nga burgu. Pastaj tha: “Ua tregoni këto Jakobit dhe vëllezërve!”. Pastaj doli dhe shkoi në një vend tjetër.
And he beckoned to them with his hand to be silent; and entered, and showed them how the Lord had brought him out from the house of the bound. And he said to them, Show these to Jakub and to the brethren; and he departed and went to another place.
18 Kur zbardhi dita, u bë një pështjellim i madh në mes të ushtarëve, sepse nuk dinin ç’kishte ndodhur me Pjetrin.
And when it was morning there was made a great tumult among the soldiers concerning Shemun, what was become of him?
19 Dhe Herodi nisi ta kërkojë, por nuk e gjeti, dhe, mbasi i mori në pyetje rojet, urdhëroi që të vriten. Pastaj zbriti nga Judeja në Cezare dhe atje qëndroi për pak kohë.
But Herodes when he inquired and found him not, condemned the guards, and commanded that they should die. And he went forth from Jihud and came to Cesarea.
20 Por Herodi ishte i zemëruar kundër tirasve dhe sidonasve; por ata, si u morën vesh midis tyre, u paraqitën para tij dhe, mbasi ia mbushën mendjen Blastit, kamarierit të mbretit, kërkuan paqe, sepse
And because he was angry with the Tsuroyee and with the Tsaidonoyee, they gathered together and came to him by persuasion of Blestos the chamberlain of the king, and prayed of him that peace should be to them, because the sustenance of their country was from the kingdom of Herodes.
21 Ditën e caktuar Herodi, i veshur me mantelin mbretëror dhe i ulur mbi fron, u mbajti një fjalim.
But upon a public day Herodes was clothed with the robe of royalty, and sat upon the tribunal, and he discoursed to an assembly.
22 Populli e brohoriste, duke thënë: “Zë e Perëndisë dhe jo e njeriut!”.
But all the people exclaimed, and said, These are the words of a god, and not of a man.
23 Në atë çast një engjëll i Zotit e goditi, sepse nuk i kishte dhënë lavdi Perëndisë; dhe, i brejtur nga krimbat, vdiq.
And on this account, because he gave not the glory to Aloha, in that hour the angel of the Lord smote him, and he was corroded with worms, and died.
24 Ndërkaq fjala e Perëndisë rritej dhe përhapej.
And the gospel of Aloha was proclaimed, and was great.
25 Dhe Barnaba dhe Sauli, mbasi e përfunduan misionin e tyre, u kthyen nga Jeruzalemi në Antioki duke e marrë me vete Gjonin, të mbiquajtur Mark.
BUT Bar Naba and Shaol returned from Urishlem to Antiokia after they had accomplished their ministry; and they took with them Juhanon who was called Markos.
