¹U to vrijeme uze Herod zlostavljati neke od Crkve.

¹At that time Herod the king laid his hands on some of those of the assembly to do them hurt,

²Mačem pogubi Jakova, brata Ivanova.

²and slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.

³Kad vidje da je to drago Židovima, uhvati i Petra (bijahu upravo Dani beskvasnih kruhova).

³And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he went on to take Peter also: (and they were the days of unleavened bread:)

⁴Uhiti ga, baci u tamnicu i dade da ga čuvaju četiri vojničke četverostraže, nakan izvesti ga nakon Pashe pred narod.

⁴whom having seized he put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep, purposing after the passover to bring him out to the people.

⁵Petra su dakle čuvali u tamnici, a Crkva se svesrdno moljaše Bogu za njega.

⁵Peter therefore was kept in the prison; but unceasing prayer was made by the assembly to God concerning him.

⁶One noći kad ga je Herod kanio privesti, spavao je Petar između dva vojnika, okovan dvojim verigama, a stražari pred vratima čuvahu stražu.

⁶And when Herod was going to bring him forth, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards before the door kept the prison.

⁷Kad eto: pojavi se anđeo Gospodnji te svjetlost obasja ćeliju. Anđeo udari Petra u rebra, probudi ga i reče: "Ustaj brzo!" I spadoše mu verige s ruku.

⁷And lo, an angel of [the] Lord came there, and a light shone in the prison: and having smitten the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off his hands.

⁸Anđeo mu reče: "Opaši se i priveži obuću!" On učini tako. Onda će mu anđeo: "Zaogrni se i hajde za mnom!"

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

⁹Petar izađe, pođe za njim, a nije znao da je zbilja što se događa po anđelu: činilo mu se da gleda viđenje.

⁹And going forth he followed [him] and did not know that what was happening by means of the angel was real, but supposed he saw a vision.

¹⁰Prošavši prvu stražu, i drugu, dođoše do željeznih vrata koja vode u grad. Ona im se sama otvore te oni izađu, prođu jednu ulicu, a onda anđeo odjednom odstupi od njega.

¹⁰And having passed through a first and second guard, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city, which opened to them of itself; and going forth they went down one street, and immediately the angel left him.

¹¹Petar pak, došavši k sebi, reče: "Sad uistinu znam da je Gospodin poslao anđela svoga i izbavio me iz Herodove ruke i od svega što je očekivao židovski narod."

¹¹And Peter, being come to himself, said, Now I know certainly that [the] Lord has sent forth his angel and has taken me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

¹²Kad je to uočio, zaputi se kući Marije, majke Ivana nazvanog Marko. Ondje se mnogi bijahu sabrali i molili.

¹²And having become clearly conscious [in himself], he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.

¹³Kad Petar pokuca na dvorišna vrata, dođe prisluhnuti sluškinja imenom Ruža.

¹³And when he had knocked at the door of the entry, a maid came to listen, by name Rhoda;

¹⁴Kad prepozna Petrov glas, od radosti i ne otvori vrata, nego utrča i javi da je Petar pred vratima.

¹⁴and having recognised the voice of Peter, through joy did not open the entry, but running in, reported that Peter was standing before the entry.

¹⁵Oni joj rekoše: "Mahnitaš!" Ali je ona uporno tvrdila da je tako. Nato će oni: "Bit će njegov anđeo!"

¹⁵And they said to her, Thou art mad. But she maintained that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

¹⁶Petar nastavi kucati. Kad napokon otvoriše i ugledaše ga, ostadoše izvan sebe.

¹⁶But Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him and were astonished.

¹⁷On im rukom mahnu neka šute pa im pripovjedi kako ga Gospodin izvede iz tamnice te dometnu: "Javite to Jakovu i braći!" Onda izađe i ode u drugo mjesto.

¹⁷And having made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, he related [to them] how the Lord had brought him out of prison; and he said, Report these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out and went to another place.

¹⁸Kad se razdani, nasta među vojnicima uzbuna nemalena što li se s Petrom dogodilo.

¹⁸And when it was day there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what then was become of Peter.

¹⁹Herod ga stade tražiti, a kad ga ne nađe, sasluša stražare i naredi da se smaknu. Onda siđe iz Judeje u Cezareju i ondje osta.

¹⁹And Herod having sought him and not found him, having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be executed. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea and stayed [there].

²⁰A bio je u žestoku sukobu s Tircima i Sidoncima. Oni zajednički dođoše k njemu i pošto pridobiše kraljevskoga komornika Blasta, zaiskaše mir, jer je njihova zemlja dobivala živež od kraljeve.

²⁰And he was in bitter hostility with [the] Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and, having gained Blastus the king's chamberlain, sought peace, because their country was nourished by the king's.

²¹U određeni dan sjede Herod odjeven u kraljevsko ruho na prijestol i stade im govoriti.

²¹And on a set day, clothed in royal apparel and sitting on the elevated seat [of honour], Herod made a public oration to them.

²²Narod izvikivaše: "Božji glas, a ne ljudski!"

²²And the people cried out, A god's voice and not a man's.

²³Umah ga, zbog toga što ne dade slavu Bogu, udari anđeo Gospodnji te on rascrvotočen izdahnu.

²³And immediately an angel of [the] Lord smote him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he expired, eaten of worms.

²⁴Riječ je pak Božja rasla i širila se.

²⁴But the word of God grew and spread itself.

²⁵Barnaba i Savao, pošto obaviše služenje u Jeruzalemu, vratiše se uzevši sa sobom Ivana zvanog Marko.

²⁵And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled the service [entrusted to them], taking also with them John, surnamed Mark.
