¹

Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.

¹

Во о́но же вре́мя возложи́ И́родъ ца́рь ру́цѣ озло́бити нѣ́кія и́же от це́ркве,

²

And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

²

уби́ же Іа́кова, бра́та Іоа́ннова, мече́мъ:

³

And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And those were the days of unleavened bread.

³

и ви́дѣвъ, я́ко го́дѣ є́сть Іуде́ємъ, приложи́ я́ти и Петра́: бя́ху же дні́є опрѣсно́чніи:

⁴

And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.

⁴

єго́же и є́мь всади́ въ темни́цу, преда́въ четы́ремъ четвери́цамъ во́иновъ стрещи́ єго́, хотя́ по Па́сцѣ извести́ єго́ къ лю́демъ.

⁵

Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but earnest prayer was made of the church unto God for him.

⁵

И у́бо Петра́ стрежа́ху въ темни́цѣ: моли́тва же бѣ́ прилѣ́жна быва́ємая от це́ркве къ Бо́гу о не́мъ.

⁶

And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.

⁶

Єгда́ же хотя́ше єго́ извести́ И́родъ, въ нощи́ то́й бѣ́ Пе́тръ спя́ между́ двѣма́ во́инома, свя́занъ [желѣ́знома] у́жема двѣма́, стра́жіє же предъ две́рьми стрежа́ху темни́цы.

⁷

And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

⁷

И се́, А́нгелъ Госпо́день предста́, и свѣ́тъ возсія́ въ хра́минѣ: толкну́въ же въ ре́бра Петра́, воздви́же єго́, глаго́ля: воста́ни вско́рѣ. И спадо́ша єму́ у́жя [желѣ́зная] съ руку́.

⁸

And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

⁸

Рече́ же А́нгелъ къ нему́: препоя́шися и вступи́ въ плесни́цы твоя́. Сотвори́ же та́ко. И глаго́ла єму́: облецы́ся въ ри́зу твою́ и послѣ́дствуй ми́.

⁹

And he went out, and followed him; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.

⁹

И изше́дъ вслѣ́дъ єго́ идя́ше и не вѣ́даше, я́ко и́стина є́сть бы́вшеє от А́нгела, мня́ше же видѣ́ніє зрѣ́ти.

¹⁰

And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightaway the angel departed from him.

¹⁰

Проше́дша же пе́рвую стра́жу и втору́ю, пріидо́ста ко врато́мъ желѣ́знымъ, вводя́щымъ во гра́дъ, я́же о себѣ́ отверзо́шася и́ма: и изше́дша преидо́ста сто́гну єди́ну, и а́біє отступи́ А́нгелъ от него́.

¹¹

And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

¹¹

И Пе́тръ бы́въ въ себѣ́, рече́: ны́нѣ вѣ́мъ вои́стинну, я́ко посла́ Бо́гъ А́нгела Своєго́ и изъя́тъ мя́ изъ руки́ И́родовы и от всего́ ча́янія люді́й Іуде́йскихъ.

¹²

And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying.

¹²

Смотри́въ же пріи́де въ до́мъ Марі́и ма́тере Іоа́нна, нарица́ємаго Ма́рка, идѣ́же бя́ху мно́зи со́брани и моля́щеся.

¹³

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

¹³

Толкну́вшу же Петру́ во врата́ двора́, приступи́ слы́шати отрокови́ца, и́менемъ Ро́ди,

¹⁴

And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.

¹⁴

и позна́вши гла́съ Петро́въ, от ра́дости не отве́рзе вра́тъ, прите́кши же сказа́ Петра́ стоя́ща предъ враты́.

¹⁵

And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.

¹⁵

Они́ же къ не́й рѣ́ша: бѣсну́єшися ли? Она́ же крѣпля́шеся та́ко бы́ти. Они́ же глаго́лаху: А́нгелъ єго́ є́сть.

¹⁶

But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.

¹⁶

Пе́тръ же пребыва́ше толкі́й: отве́рзше же ви́дѣша єго́ и ужасо́шася.

¹⁷

But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place.

¹⁷

Помаа́въ же и́мъ руко́ю молча́ти, сказа́ и́мъ, ка́ко Госпо́дь єго́ изведе́ изъ темни́цы: рече́ же: возвѣсти́те Іа́кову и бра́тіямъ сія́. И изше́дъ и́де во и́но мѣ́сто.

¹⁸

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

¹⁸

Бы́вшу же дню́, бѣ́ молва́ не ма́ла въ во́инѣхъ, что́ у́бо Петру́ бы́сть:

¹⁹

And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and tarried there.

¹⁹

И́родъ же, поиска́въ єго́ и не обрѣ́тъ и истяза́въ стра́жы, повелѣ́ отвести́ и́хъ: и изше́дъ от Іуде́и въ Кесарі́ю, живя́ше.

²⁰

Now Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country.

²⁰

Бѣ́ же И́родъ гнѣ́ваяся на Ти́ряны и Сідо́няны: и́же єдиноду́шно пріидо́ша къ нему́, и умоли́вше Вла́ста посте́льника царе́ва, проша́ху ми́ра, поне́же страны́ и́хъ от ца́рства єго́ пита́хуся.

²¹

And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.

²¹

Въ нарѣче́нный же де́нь И́родъ, обо́лкся во оде́жду ца́рску и сѣ́дъ на суди́ще предъ наро́домъ, глаго́лаше къ ни́мъ,

²²

And the people shouted, saying, The voice of a god, and not of a man.

²²

наро́дъ же возглаша́ше: гла́съ Бо́жій, а не человѣ́чь.

²³

And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not glory to God: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

²³

Внеза́пу же порази́ єго́ А́нгелъ Госпо́день, зане́ не даде́ сла́вы Бо́гу: и бы́въ червьми́ изъяде́нъ, и́здше.

²⁴

But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴

Сло́во же Бо́жіє растя́ше и мно́жашеся.

²⁵

And Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking also with them John whose surname was Mark.

²⁵

Варна́ва же и Са́влъ возврати́стася изъ Ієрусали́ма во Антіохі́ю, испо́лнивша слу́жбу, поє́мша съ собо́ю и Іоа́нна, нарица́ємаго Ма́рка.
