Acts, 12

1. Now at the same time, king Herod extended his hand, in order to afflict some from the Church.

1. U to vrijeme uze Herod zlostavljati neke od Crkve.

2. Then he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.

2. Maèem pogubi Jakova, brata Ivanova.

3. And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he set out next to apprehend Peter also. Now it was the days of Unleavened Bread.

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

4. So when he had apprehended him, he sent him into prison, handing him over into the custody of four groups of four soldiers, intending to produce him to the people after the Passover.

4. Uhiti ga, baci u tamnicu i dade da ga èuvaju èetiri vojnièke èetverostraže, nakan izvesti ga nakon Pashe pred narod.

5. And so Peter was detained in prison. But prayers were being made without ceasing, by the Church, to God on his behalf.

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

6. And when Herod was ready to produce him, in that same night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains. And there were guards in front of the door, guarding the prison.

6. One noæi kad ga je Herod kanio privesti, spavao je Petar izmeðu dva vojnika, okovan dvojim verigama, a stražari pred vratima èuvahu stražu.

7. And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near, and a light shined forth in the cell. And tapping Peter on the side, he awakened him, saying, “Rise up, quickly.” And the chains fell from his hands.

7. Kad eto: pojavi se anðeo Gospodnji te svjetlost obasja æeliju. Anðeo udari Petra u rebra, probudi ga i reèe: "Ustaj brzo!" I spadoše mu verige s ruku.

8. Then the Angel said to him: “Dress yourself, and put on your boots.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your garment around yourself and follow me.”

8. Anðeo mu reèe: "Opaši se i priveži obuæu!" On uèini tako. Onda æe mu anðeo: "Zaogrni se i hajde za mnom!"

9. And going out, he followed him. And he did not know this truth: that this was being done by an Angel. For he thought that he was seeing a vision.

9. Petar izaðe, poðe za njim, a nije znao da je zbilja što se dogaða po anðelu: èinilo mu se da gleda viðenje.

10. And passing by the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city; and it opened for them by itself. And departing, they continued on along a certain side street. And suddenly the Angel withdrew from him.

10. Prošavši prvu stražu, i drugu, doðoše do željeznih vrata koja vode u grad. Ona im se sama otvore te oni izaðu, proðu jednu ulicu, a onda anðeo odjednom odstupi od njega.

11. And Peter, returning to himself, said: “Now I know, truly, that the Lord sent his Angel, and that he rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the people of the Jews were anticipating.”

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

12. And as he was considering this, he arrived at the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered and were praying.

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

13. Then, as he knocked at the door of the gate, a girl went out to answer, whose name was Rhoda.

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

14. And when she recognized the voice of Peter, out of joy, she did not open the gate, but instead, running in, she reported that Peter stood before the gate.

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

15. But they said to her, “You are crazy.” But she reaffirmed that this was so. Then they were saying, “It is his angel.”

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

16. But Peter was persevering in knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him and were astonished.

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

17. But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he explained how the Lord had led him away from prison. And he said, “Inform James and those brothers.” And going out, he went away to another place.

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

18. Then, when daylight came, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what had happened concerning Peter.

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

19. And when Herod had requested him and did not obtain him, having had the guards interrogated, he ordered them led away. And descending from Judea into Caesarea, he lodged there.

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

20. Now he was angry with those of Tyre and Sidon. But they came to him with one accord, and, having persuaded Blastus, who was over the bedchamber of the king, they petitioned for peace, because their regions were supplied with food by him.

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

21. Then, on the appointed day, Herod was clothed in kingly apparel, and he sat in the judgment seat, and he gave a speech to them.

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

22. Then the people were crying out, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”

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

23. And immediately, an Angel of the Lord struck him down, because he had not given honor to God. And having been consumed by worms, he expired.

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

24. But the word of the Lord was increasing and multiplying.

24. Rijeè je pak Božja rasla i širila se.

25. Then Barnabas and Saul, having completed the ministry, returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, who was surnamed Mark.

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