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

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 when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened bread.

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

⁴And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and 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 was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church 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 Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept 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 behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from 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.

⁸And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow 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 he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought 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 when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel 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 when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from 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.'

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 and were 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 when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.

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

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

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. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁰Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king's country.

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 upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.

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

²²And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man.

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

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

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

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴Aga Jumala sõna kasvas ja levis.

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

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