Acts 12
1 Now about that time, Herod the king stretched out his hands to oppress some of the church.
Torej okoli tega časa je kralj Herod iztegnil svoje roke, da nadleguje nekatere iz cerkve.
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
In z mečem je ubil Jakoba, Janezovega brata.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jewish people, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
Ker pa je videl, [da] je Judom to ugajalo, je še bolj nadaljeval, da zgrabi tudi Petra. (Takrat so bili dnevi nekvašenega kruha.)
4 When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
In ko ga je zgrabil, ga je vtaknil v ječo ter ga izročil štirim četvericam vojakov, da ga varujejo, ker ga je mislil po Veliki noči privesti k ljudem.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the church to God for him.
Peter je bil torej zadržan v ječi, toda cerkev je zanj brez prenehanja molila k Bogu.
6 The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
In ko naj bi ga Herod privedel, je isto noč Peter spal med dvema vojakoma, privezan z dvema verigama, čuvaji pred vrati pa so stražili ječo.
7 And look, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly." His chains fell off from his hands.
In glej, Gospodov angel je prišel nad njega in svetloba je zasijala v ječi in Petra je udaril v stran ter ga dvignil, rekoč: »Hitro vstani.« In njegove verige so odpadle z njegovih rok.
8 The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak, and follow me."
In angel mu je rekel: »Opaši se in si poveži svoje sandale.« In tako je storil. In mu reče: »Ogrni svojo obleko okoli sebe in mi sledi.«
9 And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
In odšel je ven ter mu sledil in ni vedel, da je bilo res, kar se je zgodilo po angelu, temveč je mislil, da je videl videnje.
10 When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
Ko sta bila mimo prve in druge straže, sta prišla k velikim železnim vratom, ki vodijo v mesto, ki so se jima sama od sebe odprla in odšla sta ven ter šla skozi neko ulico in angel je nemudoma odšel od njega.
11 When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
Ko je Peter prišel k sebi, je rekel: »Sedaj zagotovo vem, da je Gospod poslal svojega angela in me osvobodil iz Herodove roke ter pred vsem pričakovanjem ljudi izmed Judov.«
12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
Ko pa je stvar preudaril, je prišel k hiši Marije, Janezove matere, katerega vzdevek je bil Marko, kjer so bili mnogi skupaj zbrani ter molili.
13 And when Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
In ko je Peter potrkal na velika vhodna vrata, je prišla prisluhnit gospodična, po imenu Roda.
14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
In ko je spoznala Petrov glas, zaradi veselja ni odprla velikih vrat, temveč je stekla noter ter povedala, kako pred velikimi vrati stoji Peter.
15 They said to her, "You are crazy." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."
Oni pa so ji rekli: »Nora si.« Toda nenehno je zatrjevala, da je bilo točno tako. Tedaj so ji rekli: »To je njegov angel.«
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
Toda Peter je nenehno trkal in ko so odprli vrata ter ga zagledali, so bili osupli.
17 But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell these things to James, and to the brothers." Then he departed, and went to another place.
Vendar ko jim je z roko namignil, naj molčijo, jim je razodel, kako ga je Gospod privedel iz ječe. In rekel je: »Pojdite, oznanite te stvari Jakobu in bratom.« In odšel je in šel v drug kraj.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
Torej brž, ko je bil dan, med vojaki ni bila majhna razvnetost, kaj je nastalo s Petrom.
19 When Herod had sought for him, and did not find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
In ko ga je Herod iskal in ga ni našel, je zaslišal čuvaje ter ukazal, da naj bi bili le-ti usmrčeni. In iz Judeje je odšel dol v Cezarejo ter ostal tam.
20 Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
Herod pa je bil zelo jezen na te iz Tira in Sidóna, toda oni so soglasno prišli k njemu in ker so naredili Blasta, kraljevega glavnega dvornega upravitelja, za svojega prijatelja, so želeli mir, kajti njihova dežela je bila hranjena s pomočjo kraljeve dežele.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, and sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
Na določen dan pa se je Herod oblekel v kraljevsko obleko, se usedel na svoj prestol ter jim naredil slovesen govor.
22 But the crowd shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man."
Ljudstvo [dežele] pa je vzklikalo, rekoč: »To je božji glas, ne pa od človeka.«
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
In takoj ga je udaril Gospodov angel, ker ni dal slave Bogu in pojeden je bil od črvov ter izročil duha.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Toda Božja beseda je rasla in se množila.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
In ko sta izpolnila svojo službo, sta se Barnaba in Savel vrnila iz Jeruzalema ter s seboj vzela Janeza, katerega vzdevek je bil Marko.
