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

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

²He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.

²a zabil Jakoba, brata Jánovho, mečom.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴A slovo Božie rástlo a rozmáhalo sa.

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.

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