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

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

²Ta tappis mõõgaga Jaakobuse, Johannese venna.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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].

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁴Aga Jumala sõna kasvas ja levis.

²⁴But the word of God grew and spread itself.

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

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