¹Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

¹V tom čase priložil kráľ Heródes ruky trápiť niektorých z cirkvi

²And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

²a zabil Jakoba, brata Jánovho, mečom.

³And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

³A keď videl, že sa to ľúbilo Židom, umienil si zajať ešte i Petra - a boly to dni nekvasených chlebov -,

⁴And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

⁴ktorého aj chytil a vsadil do žalára oddajúc ho štyrom štvorkám vojakov, aby ho strážili, chcúc ho po Veľkej noci vyviesť ľudu.

⁵Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

⁵A tak bol Peter strážený v žalári, ale cirkev sa napnute modlila Bohu za neho.

⁶And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

⁶A v tú noc, keď ho už mal Heródes predviesť, spal Peter medzi dvoma vojakmi, sviazaný dvoma reťazami, a strážcovia predo dvermi strážili žalár.

⁷And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

⁷A tu hľa, anjel Pánov sa postavil k nemu, a svetlo sa zablesklo v príbytku. A uderil Petra do boku, zobudil ho a povedal: Vstaň rýchle! A jeho reťazi mu spadly s rúk.

⁸And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

⁸A anjel mu povedal: Opáš sa a podviaž si svoje sandále! A urobil tak. A povedal mu: Hoď na seba svoj plášť a poď za mnou!

⁹And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

⁹A vyjdúc išiel za ním, a nevedel, že je to skutočnosť, čo sa to dialo skrze anjela, ale sa domnieval, že vidí videnie.

¹⁰When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

¹⁰A keď prešli prvú stráž i druhú, prišli k železnej bráne, ktorá vedie do mesta a ktorá sa im otvorila sama od seba. A keď vyšli, prešli jednu ulicu, a hneď odišiel anjel od neho.

¹¹And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

¹¹A Peter, keď prišiel k sebe, povedal: Teraz viem skutočne, že Pán poslal svojho anjela a vytrhol ma z ruky Heródesovej a zo všetkého očakávania židovského ľudu.

¹²And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

¹²A uvedomiac si vec prišiel k domu Márie, matky Jánovej, ktorý má prímeno Marek, kde boli mnohí shromaždení a modlili sa.

¹³And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.

¹³A keď zaklepal Peter na dvere brány, prišlo dievča, menom Rodé, naslúchnuť, kto je.

¹⁴And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.

¹⁴A keď poznala hlas Petrov, od radosti neotvorila brány, ale vbehla a zvestovala, že Peter stojí pred bránou.

¹⁵And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

¹⁵Ale oni jej povedali: Blázniš. No, ona pevne tvrdila, že je tak. A oni potom vraveli: Jeho anjel je.

¹⁶But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.

¹⁶Ale Peter len stále klepal, a keď konečne otvorili, videli ho a užasli.

¹⁷But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

¹⁷No, on im pokynul rukou, aby mlčali, a porozprával im, ako ho Pán vyviedol zo žalára, a povedal: Oznámte to Jakobovi i bratom. A potom vyjdúc odišiel na iné miesto.

¹⁸Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

¹⁸A keď nastal deň, bolo nemalé vzrušenie medzi vojakmi, čo sa stalo s Petrom.

¹⁹And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.

¹⁹A keď ho hľadal Heródes a nenašiel, vyšetril strážcov a rozkázal ich odviesť. Potom odišiel z Judska dolu do Cezáree a tam sa zdržoval.

²⁰And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.

²⁰A Heródes sa veľmi hneval na Týranov a Sidoncov, ale prišli jednomyseľne k nemu a naklonili si Blasta, komorníka kráľovho, a prosili o pokoj, pretože ich kraj bol zaopatrený potravou z kráľovskej zeme.

²¹And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.

²¹Potom na určený deň sa obliekol Heródes do kráľovského rúcha, sadol na prestol a povedal k nim reč.

²²And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

²²A ľud privolával: To je hlas Boží a nie hlas človeka!

²³And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

²³Ale anjel Pánov ho naskutku ranil za to, že nedal slávy Bohu, a daly sa ho žrať červy, a zomrel.

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴A slovo Božie rástlo a rozmáhalo sa.

²⁵And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

²⁵A Barnabáš a Saul, keď vykonali službu, vrátili sa z Jeruzalema a pojali so sebou i Jána, ktorý mal prímeno Marek.
