prēritāḥ 12
1 tasmin samayē hērōdrājō maṇḍalyāḥ kiyajjanēbhyō duḥkhaṁ dātuṁ prārabhat|
Now about that time, Herod the king stretched out his hands to oppress some of the church.
2 viśēṣatō yōhanaḥ sōdaraṁ yākūbaṁ karavālāghātēn hatavān|
He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 tasmād yihūdīyāḥ santuṣṭā abhavan iti vijñāya sa pitaramapi dharttuṁ gatavān|
When he saw that it pleased the Jewish people, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
4 tadā kiṇvaśūnyapūpōtsavasamaya upātiṣṭat; ata utsavē gatē sati lōkānāṁ samakṣaṁ taṁ bahirānēyyāmīti manasi sthirīkr̥tya sa taṁ dhārayitvā rakṣṇārtham yēṣām ēkaikasaṁghē catvārō janāḥ santi tēṣāṁ caturṇāṁ rakṣakasaṁghānāṁ samīpē taṁ samarpya kārāyāṁ sthāpitavān|
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.
5 kintuṁ pitarasya kārāsthitikāraṇāt maṇḍalyā lōkā aviśrāmam īśvarasya samīpē prārthayanta|
Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the church to God for him.
6 anantaraṁ hērōdi taṁ bahirānāyituṁ udyatē sati tasyāṁ rātrau pitarō rakṣakadvayamadhyasthānē śr̥ṅkhaladvayēna baddhvaḥ san nidrita āsīt, dauvārikāśca kārāyāḥ sammukhē tiṣṭhanatō dvāram arakṣiṣuḥ|
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.
7 ētasmin samayē paramēśvarasya dūtē samupasthitē kārā dīptimatī jātā; tataḥ sa dūtaḥ pitarasya kukṣāvāvātaṁ kr̥tvā taṁ jāgarayitvā bhāṣitavān tūrṇamuttiṣṭha; tatastasya hastasthaśr̥ṅkhaladvayaṁ galat patitaṁ|
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.
8 sa dūtastamavadat, baddhakaṭiḥ san pādayōḥ pādukē arpaya; tēna tathā kr̥tē sati dūtastam uktavān gātrīyavastraṁ gātrē nidhāya mama paścād ēhi|
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."
9 tataḥ pitarastasya paścād vrajana bahiragacchat, kintu dūtēna karmmaitat kr̥tamiti satyamajñātvā svapnadarśanaṁ jñātavān|
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.
10 itthaṁ tau prathamāṁ dvitīyāñca kārāṁ laṅghitvā yēna lauhanirmmitadvārēṇa nagaraṁ gamyatē tatsamīpaṁ prāpnutāṁ; tatastasya kavāṭaṁ svayaṁ muktamabhavat tatastau tatsthānād bahi rbhūtvā mārgaikasya sīmāṁ yāvad gatau; tatō'kasmāt sa dūtaḥ pitaraṁ tyaktavān|
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.
11 tadā sa cētanāṁ prāpya kathitavān nijadūtaṁ prahitya paramēśvarō hērōdō hastād yihūdīyalōkānāṁ sarvvāśāyāśca māṁ samuddhr̥tavān ityahaṁ niścayaṁ jñātavān|
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."
12 sa vivicya mārkanāmrā vikhyātasya yōhanō mātu rmariyamō yasmin gr̥hē bahavaḥ sambhūya prārthayanta tannivēśanaṁ gataḥ|
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.
13 pitarēṇa bahirdvāra āhatē sati rōdānāmā bālikā draṣṭuṁ gatā|
And when Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 tataḥ pitarasya svaraṁ śruvā sā harṣayuktā satī dvāraṁ na mōcayitvā pitarō dvārē tiṣṭhatīti vārttāṁ vaktum abhyantaraṁ dhāvitvā gatavatī|
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.
15 tē prāvōcan tvamunmattā jātāsi kintu sā muhurmuhuruktavatī satyamēvaitat|
They said to her, "You are crazy." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."
16 tadā tē kathitavantastarhi tasya dūtō bhavēt|
But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
17 pitarō dvāramāhatavān ētasminnantarē dvāraṁ mōcayitvā pitaraṁ dr̥ṣṭvā vismayaṁ prāptāḥ|
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.
18 tataḥ pitarō niḥśabdaṁ sthātuṁ tān prati hastēna saṅkētaṁ kr̥tvā paramēśvarō yēna prakārēṇa taṁ kārāyā uddhr̥tyānītavān tasya vr̥ttāntaṁ tānajñāpayat, yūyaṁ gatvā yākubaṁ bhrātr̥gaṇañca vārttāmētāṁ vadatētyuktā sthānāntaraṁ prasthitavān|
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
19 prabhātē sati pitaraḥ kva gata ityatra rakṣakāṇāṁ madhyē mahān kalahō jātaḥ|
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.
20 hērōd bahu mr̥gayitvā tasyōddēśē na prāptē sati rakṣakān saṁpr̥cchya tēṣāṁ prāṇān hantum ādiṣṭavān|
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.
21 paścāt sa yihūdīyapradēśāt kaisariyānagaraṁ gatvā tatrāvātiṣṭhat|
On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, and sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
22 sōrasīdōnadēśayō rlōkēbhyō hērōdi yuyutsau sati tē sarvva ēkamantraṇāḥ santastasya samīpa upasthāya lvāstanāmānaṁ tasya vastragr̥hādhīśaṁ sahāyaṁ kr̥tvā hērōdā sārddhaṁ sandhiṁ prārthayanta yatastasya rājñō dēśēna tēṣāṁ dēśīyānāṁ bharaṇam abhavatṁ
But the crowd shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man."
23 ataḥ kutracin nirupitadinē hērōd rājakīyaṁ paricchadaṁ paridhāya siṁhāsanē samupaviśya tān prati kathām uktavān|
Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 tatō lōkā uccaiḥkāraṁ pratyavadan, ēṣa manujaravō na hi, īśvarīyaravaḥ|
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 tadā hērōd īśvarasya sammānaṁ nākarōt; tasmāddhētōḥ paramēśvarasya dūtō haṭhāt taṁ prāharat tēnaiva sa kīṭaiḥ kṣīṇaḥ san prāṇān ajahāt| kintvīśvarasya kathā dēśaṁ vyāpya prabalābhavat| tataḥ paraṁ barṇabbāśaulau yasya karmmaṇō bhāraṁ prāpnutāṁ tābhyāṁ tasmin sampāditē sati mārkanāmnā vikhyātō yō yōhan taṁ saṅginaṁ kr̥tvā yirūśālamnagarāt pratyāgatau|
Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
