¹V tom čase priložil kráľ Heródes ruky trápiť niektorých z cirkvi

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

²a zabil Jakoba, brata Jánovho, mečom.

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

³A keď videl, že sa to ľúbilo Židom, umienil si zajať ešte i Petra - a boly to dni nekvasených chlebov -,

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 —

⁴ktorého aj chytil a vsadil do žalára oddajúc ho štyrom štvorkám vojakov, aby ho strážili, chcúc ho po Veľkej noci vyviesť ľudu.

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.

⁵A tak bol Peter strážený v žalári, ale cirkev sa napnute modlila Bohu za neho.

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

⁶A v tú noc, keď ho už mal Heródes predviesť, spal Peter medzi dvoma vojakmi, sviazaný dvoma reťazami, a strážcovia predo dvermi strážili žalár.

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,

⁷A tu hľa, anjel Pánov sa postavil k nemu, a svetlo sa zablesklo v príbytku. A uderil Petra do boku, zobudil ho a povedal: Vstaň rýchle! A jeho reťazi mu spadly s rúk.

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.

⁸A anjel mu povedal: Opáš sa a podviaž si svoje sandále! A urobil tak. A povedal mu: Hoď na seba svoj plášť a poď za mnou!

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;`

⁹A vyjdúc išiel za ním, a nevedel, že je to skutočnosť, čo sa to dialo skrze anjela, ale sa domnieval, že vidí videnie.

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,

¹⁰A keď prešli prvú stráž i druhú, prišli k železnej bráne, ktorá vedie do mesta a ktorá sa im otvorila sama od seba. A keď vyšli, prešli jednu ulicu, a hneď odišiel anjel od neho.

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.

¹¹A Peter, keď prišiel k sebe, povedal: Teraz viem skutočne, že Pán poslal svojho anjela a vytrhol ma z ruky Heródesovej a zo všetkého očakávania židovského ľudu.

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;`

¹²A uvedomiac si vec prišiel k domu Márie, matky Jánovej, ktorý má prímeno Marek, kde boli mnohí shromaždení a modlili sa.

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.

¹³A keď zaklepal Peter na dvere brány, prišlo dievča, menom Rodé, naslúchnuť, kto je.

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

¹⁴A keď poznala hlas Petrov, od radosti neotvorila brány, ale vbehla a zvestovala, že Peter stojí pred bránou.

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,

¹⁵Ale oni jej povedali: Blázniš. No, ona pevne tvrdila, že je tak. A oni potom vraveli: Jeho anjel je.

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

¹⁶Ale Peter len stále klepal, a keď konečne otvorili, videli ho a užasli.

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

¹⁷No, on im pokynul rukou, aby mlčali, a porozprával im, ako ho Pán vyviedol zo žalára, a povedal: Oznámte to Jakobovi i bratom. A potom vyjdúc odišiel na iné miesto.

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.

¹⁸A keď nastal deň, bolo nemalé vzrušenie medzi vojakmi, čo sa stalo s Petrom.

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

¹⁹A keď ho hľadal Heródes a nenašiel, vyšetril strážcov a rozkázal ich odviesť. Potom odišiel z Judska dolu do Cezáree a tam sa zdržoval.

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].

²⁰A Heródes sa veľmi hneval na Týranov a Sidoncov, ale prišli jednomyseľne k nemu a naklonili si Blasta, komorníka kráľovho, a prosili o pokoj, pretože ich kraj bol zaopatrený potravou z kráľovskej zeme.

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;

²¹Potom na určený deň sa obliekol Heródes do kráľovského rúcha, sadol na prestol a povedal k nim reč.

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,

²²A ľud privolával: To je hlas Boží a nie hlas človeka!

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

²³Ale anjel Pánov ho naskutku ranil za to, že nedal slávy Bohu, a daly sa ho žrať červy, a zomrel.

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.

²⁴A slovo Božie rástlo a rozmáhalo sa.

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

²⁵A Barnabáš a Saul, keď vykonali službu, vrátili sa z Jeruzalema a pojali so sebou i Jána, ktorý mal prímeno Marek.

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