¹And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly,

¹Aga sel ajal hakkas kuningas Heroodes mõnele kogudusest kurja tegema.

²and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword,

²Ta tappis mõõgaga Jaakobuse, Johannese venna.

³and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also — and they were the days of the unleavened food —

³Aga nähes, et see juutidele meeldis, võttis ta kinni ka Peetruse. See oli just hapnemata leibade pühal.

⁴whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.

⁴Heroodes vahistas Peetruse ja pani ta vanglasse ning andis nelja neljamehelise sõdurite salga valvata, kavatsedes ta pärast paasapühi rahva ette tuua.

⁵Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him,

⁵Nii peeti siis Peetrust vangis, aga kogudus palvetas lakkamatult Jumala poole tema pärast.

⁶and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison,

⁶Ööl enne seda, kui Heroodes tahtis Peetruse enese ette tuua, magas Peetrus kahe sõduri vahel kahe ketiga aheldatult, ja vahimehed ukse ees valvasid vanglat.

⁷and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, `Rise in haste,` and his chains fell from off [his] hands.

⁷Ja ennäe, Issanda ingel seisis seal ning valgus helkis vangikongis. Ingel lõi Peetrust vastu külge, äratas ta üles ja ütles: 'Tõuse kiiresti!' Ja Peetruse ahelad langesid käte ümbert maha.

⁸The messenger also said to him, `Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;` and he did so; and he saith to him, `Put thy garment round and be following me;`

⁸Ingel aga ütles talle: 'Pane vöö vööle ja seo oma jalatsid jalga!' Tema tegigi nõnda. Ja ingel ütles talle: 'Pane oma kuub selga ja tule minu järele.'

⁹and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision,

⁹Ja Peetrus tuli välja ja käis tema järel ega teadnud, et see, mis ingel tegi, on tõsi, vaid arvas end nägevat nägemust.

¹⁰and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.

¹⁰Ja nad läbisid esimese ja teise vahiposti ning tulid linna viiva raudvärava ette. See avanes neile iseenesest ja nad väljusid ja läksid edasi üht tänavat pidi. Ja järsku lahkus ingel tema juurest.

¹¹And Peter having come to himself, said, `Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;`

¹¹Ja kui Peetrus jälle hakkas aru saama, lausus ta: 'Nüüd ma tean, et Issand on tõesti oma ingli läkitanud ja mu välja kiskunud Heroodese käest ning kõigest, mida juuda rahvas ootab.'

¹²also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.

¹²Ja märgates, kus ta on, tuli ta selle Maarja koja juurde, kes on Markuseks hüütava Johannese ema. Sinna oli suur hulk rahvast kokku tulnud palvetama.

¹³And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda,

¹³Kui ta siis hooviväravale koputas, tuli sinna kuulatama tüdruk, Roode nimi.

¹⁴and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,

¹⁴Kui ta Peetruse hääle järgi ära tundis, siis rõõmu tõttu ei avanud ta väravat, vaid jooksis sisse ja teatas, et Peetrus seisab värava taga.

¹⁵and they said unto her, `Thou art mad;` and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, `It is his messenger;`

¹⁵Nemad ütlesid talle: 'Sa jampsid!' Tema aga kinnitas, et see on nõnda. Siis nad ütlesid: 'See on tema ingel.'

¹⁶and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,

¹⁶Peetrus koputas üha edasi. Kui nad nüüd avasid, nägid nad teda ja jahmusid.

¹⁷and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these things;` and having gone forth, he went on to another place.

¹⁷Peetrus aga viipas neile käega, et nad vait jääksid, ning jutustas, kuidas Issand oli ta vanglast välja toonud, ning ütles: 'Teatage seda Jaakobusele ja vendadele!' Ja ta väljus ning läks sealt ära teise paika.

¹⁸And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,

¹⁸Aga päeva saabudes olid sõdurid suures ärevuses selle pärast, mis Peetrusega oli juhtunud.

¹⁹and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea, he was abiding [there].

¹⁹Kui Heroodes teda otsis ega leidnud, kuulas ta vangivalvurid üle ja käskis need viia hukkamisele. Ise ta läks Juudamaalt alla Kaisareasse ja jäi sinna.

²⁰And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king`s;

²⁰Ent Heroodes kandis viha Tüürose ja Siidoni rahva peale. Nood tulid ühel meelel tema juurde ja, saanud nõusse kuninga kambriülema Blastose, palusid rahu; sest nende maa sai oma toiduse kuninga alalt.

²¹and on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making an oration unto them,

²¹Määratud päeval pani Heroodes selga kuninglikud rõivad, istus kohtujärjele ja pidas neile kõne.

²²and the populace were shouting, `The voice of a god, and not of a man;`

²²Rahvas aga hüüdis: 'See ei ole inimese, vaid Jumala hääl!'

²³and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.

²³Aga otsekohe lõi teda Issanda ingel, seepärast et ta ei andnud au Jumalale. Ja ussidest sööduna heitis Heroodes hinge.

²⁴And the word of God did grow and did multiply,

²⁴Aga Jumala sõna kasvas ja levis.

²⁵and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with [them] John, who was surnamed Mark.

²⁵Ent Barnabas ja Saulus, olles lõpetanud oma teenistuse Jeruusalemmas, tulid tagasi ja võtsid enestega kaasa Johannese, keda hüüti Markuseks.
