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

¹Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.

²Ta tappis mõõgaga Jaakobuse, Johannese venna.

²He killed 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.

³When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during 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.

⁴When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

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

⁵Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for 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.

⁶The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of 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 behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off from 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.'

⁸The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak, 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 he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought 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.

¹⁰When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from 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.'

¹¹When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”

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.

¹²Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

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

¹³When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.

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

¹⁴When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

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

¹⁵They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”

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

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

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.

¹⁷But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James, and to the brothers.” Then he departed, and went to another place.

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

¹⁸Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had 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.

¹⁹When Herod had sought for him, and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea 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.

²⁰Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.

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

²¹On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.

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

²²The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”

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

²³Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

²⁴Aga Jumala sõna kasvas ja levis.

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

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

²⁵Barnabas and Saul returned to TR reads “from” instead of “to” Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
