Acts 12
1 Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
У оно пак време подиже Ирод цар руке да мучи неке од цркве.
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
И погуби Јакова брата Јовановог мачем.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
И видевши да је то по вољи Јеврејима настави да ухвати и Петра (а беху дани пресних хлебова),
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.
Ког и ухвати и баци у тамницу и предаде га четворици четвртника војничких да га чувају, и мишљаше га по пасхи извести пред народ.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
И тако Петра чуваху у тамници; а црква мољаше се за њега Богу без престанка.
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.
А кад хтеде Ирод да га изведе, ону ноћ спаваше Петар међу двојицом војника, окован у двоје вериге, а стражари пред вратима чуваху тамницу.
7 And behold, 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 his hands.
И гле, анђео Господњи приступи, и светлост обасја по соби, и куцнувши Петра у ребра пробуди га говорећи: Устани брже. И спадоше му вериге с руку.
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.”
А анђео му рече: Опаши се, и обуј опанке своје. И учини тако. И рече му анђео: Обуци хаљину своју, па хајде за мном.
9 And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
И изишавши иђаше за њим, и не знаше да је то истина што анђео чињаше, него мишљаше да види утвару.
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.
А кад прођоше прву стражу и другу и дођоше к вратима гвозденим која вођаху у град, она им се сама отворише; и изишавши прођоше једну улицу, и анђео одмах одступи од њега.
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.”
И кад дође Петар к себи рече: Сад заиста видим да Бог посла анђела свог те ме избави из руку Иродових и од свега чекања народа јеврејског.
12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
И размисливши дође кући Марије матере Јована који се зваше Марко, где беху многи сабрани и мољаху се Богу.
13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
А кад куцну Петар у врата од двора, приступи девојка по имену Рода, да чује.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
И познавши глас Петров од радости не отвори врата, него утрча и каза да Петар стоји пред вратима.
15 They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
А они јој рекоше: Јеси ли ти луда? А она потврђиваше да је тако. А они говораху: Анђео је његов.
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
А Петар једнако куцаше. А кад отворише, видеше га, и удивише се.
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.
А он махнувши на њих руком да ћуте, каза им како га Господ изведе из тамнице; и рече: јавите ово Јакову и браћи. И изишавши отиде на друго место.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
А кад би дан, беше не мала буна међу војницима, шта то би од Петра.
19 When Herod had sought for him and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
А кад га Ирод заиска и не нађе, онда испита стражаре, и заповеди да их одведу; и изишавши из Јудеје у Ћесарију онамо живљаше.
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.
Јер се Ирод срђаше на Тирце и Сидонце. Али они једнодушно дођоше к њему, и узевши на своју руку Власта, постељника царевог, искаху мира, јер се њихове земље храњаху од његовог царства.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
А у одређени дан обуче се Ирод у царску хаљину, и седавши на престо говораше им;
22 The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
А народ викаше: Ово је глас Божји, а не човечији.
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.
Али уједанпут удари га анђео Господњи: јер не даде славе Богу; и будући изједен од црви издахну.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
А реч Божија растијаше и множаше се.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
А Варнава и Савле предавши помоћ вратише се из Јерусалима у Антиохију, узевши са собом Јована који се зваше Марко.
