使徒行传 12

那时，希律王下手苦害教会中几个人，

nà shí ， xī lǜ wáng xià shǒu kǔ hài jiào huì zhōng jǐ gè rén ，

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

用刀杀了约翰的哥哥雅各。

yòng dāo shā le yuē hàn de gē ge yǎ gè 。

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

他见犹太人喜欢这事，又去捉拿彼得。那时正是除酵的日子。

tā jiàn yóu tài rén xǐ huan zhè shì ， yòu qù zhuō ná bǐ dé 。 nà shí zhèng shì chú jiào de rì zi 。

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

希律拿了彼得，收在监里，交付四班兵丁看守，每班四个人，意思要在逾越节后把他提出来，当着百姓办他。

xī lǜ ná le bǐ dé ， shōu zài jiān lǐ ， jiāo fù sì bān bīng dīng kān shǒu ， měi bān sì gè rén ， yì sī yào zài yú yuè jié hòu bǎ tā tí chū lái ， dāng zhe bǎi xìng bàn tā 。

When 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.

于是彼得被囚在监里；教会却为他切切地祷告 神。

yú shì bǐ dé bèi qiú zài jiān lǐ ； jiào huì què wèi tā qiè qiè dì dǎo gào shén 。

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

希律将要提他出来的前一夜，彼得被两条铁链锁着，睡在两个兵丁当中；看守的人也在门外看守。

xī lǜ jiāng yào tí tā chū lái de qián yí yè ， bǐ dé bèi liǎng tiáo tiě liàn suǒ zhe ， shuì zài liǎng gè bīng dīng dāng zhōng ； kān shǒu de rén yě zài mén wài kān shǒu 。

The 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.

忽然，有主的一个使者站在旁边，屋里有光照耀，天使拍彼得的肋旁，拍醒了他，说：「快快起来！」那铁链就从他手上脱落下来。

hū rán ， yǒu zhǔ de yí gè shǐ zhě zhàn zài páng biān ， wū lǐ yǒu guāng zhào yào ， tiān shǐ pāi bǐ dé de lèi páng ， pāi xǐng le tā ， shuō ：「 kuài kuài qǐ lái ！」 nà tiě liàn jiù cóng tā shǒu shàng tuō luò xià lái 。

And 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 his hands.

天使对他说：「束上带子，穿上鞋。」他就那样做。天使又说：「披上外衣，跟着我来。」

tiān shǐ duì tā shuō ：「 shù shàng dài zǐ ， chuān shàng xié 。」 tā jiù nà yàng zuò 。 tiān shǐ yòu shuō ：「 pī shàng wài yī ， gēn zhe wǒ lái 。」

The 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.”

彼得就出来跟着他，不知道天使所做是真的，只当见了异象。

bǐ dé jiù chū lái gēn zhe tā ， bù zhī dào tiān shǐ suǒ zuò shì zhēn de ， zhǐ dāng jiàn le yì xiàng 。

And 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.

过了第一层第二层监牢，就来到临街的铁门，那门自己开了。他们出来，走过一条街，天使便离开他去了。

guò le dì yī céng dì èr céng jiān láo ， jiù lái dào lín jiē de tiě mén ， nà mén zì jǐ kāi le 。 tā men chū lái ， zǒu guò yì tiáo jiē ， tiān shǐ biàn lí kāi tā qù le 。

When 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.

彼得醒悟过来，说：「我现在真知道主差遣他的使者，救我脱离希律的手和犹太百姓一切所盼望的。」

bǐ dé xǐng wù guò lái ， shuō ：「 wǒ xiàn zài zhēn zhī dào zhǔ chāi qiǎn tā de shǐ zhě ， jiù wǒ tuō lí xī lǜ de shǒu hé yóu tài bǎi xìng yí qiè suǒ pàn wàng de 。」

When 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.”

想了一想，就往那称呼马可的约翰、他母亲马利亚家去，在那里有好些人聚集祷告。

xiǎng le yì xiǎng ， jiù wǎng nà chēng hu mǎ kě de yuē hàn 、 tā mǔ qīn mǎ lì yà jiā qù ， zài nà lǐ yǒu hǎo xiē rén jù jí dǎo gào 。

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

彼得敲外门，有一个使女，名叫罗大，出来探听，

bǐ dé qiāo wài mén ， yǒu yí gè shǐ nǚ ， míng jiào luó dà ， chū lái tàn tīng ，

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

听得是彼得的声音，就欢喜的顾不得开门，跑进去告诉众人说：「彼得站在门外。」

tīng dé shì bǐ dé de shēng yīn ， jiù huān xǐ de gù bù dé kāi mén ， pǎo jìn qù gào sù zhòng rén shuō ：「 bǐ dé zhàn zài mén wài 。」

When 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.

他们说：「你是疯了！」使女极力地说：「真是他！」他们说：「必是他的天使！」

tā men shuō ：「 nǐ shì fēng le ！」 shǐ nǚ jí lì dì shuō ：「 zhēn shì tā ！」 tā men shuō ：「 bì shì tā de tiān shǐ ！」

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

彼得不住地敲门。他们开了门，看见他，就甚惊奇。

bǐ dé bú zhù dì qiāo mén 。 tā men kāi le mén ， kàn jiàn tā ， jiù shèn jīng qí 。

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

彼得摆手，不要他们作声，就告诉他们主怎样领他出监；又说：「你们把这事告诉雅各和众弟兄。」于是出去，往别处去了。

bǐ dé bǎi shǒu ， bú yào tā men zuò shēng ， jiù gào sù tā men zhǔ zěn yàng lǐng tā chū jiān ； yòu shuō ：「 nǐ men bǎ zhè shì gào sù yǎ gè hé zhòng dì xiong 。」 yú shì chū qù ， wǎng bié chù qù le 。

But 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.

到了天亮，兵丁扰乱得很，不知道彼得往哪里去了。

dào le tiān liàng ， bīng dīng rǎo luàn dé hěn ， bù zhī dào bǐ dé wǎng nǎ lǐ qù le 。

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

希律找他，找不着，就审问看守的人，吩咐把他们拉去杀了。后来希律离开犹太，下凯撒利亚去，住在那里。

xī lǜ zhǎo tā ， zhǎo bù zhe ， jiù shěn wèn kān shǒu de rén ， fēn fù bǎ tā men lā qù shā le 。 hòu lái xī lǜ lí kāi yóu tài ， xià kǎi sā lì yà qù ， zhù zài nà lǐ 。

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

希律恼怒泰尔、西顿的人。他们那一带地方是从王的地土得粮，因此就托了王的内侍臣伯拉斯都的情，一心来求和。

xī lǜ nǎo nù tài ěr 、 xī dùn de rén 。 tā men nà yí dài dì fāng shì cóng wáng de dì tǔ dé liáng ， yīn cǐ jiù tuō le wáng de nèi shì chén bó lā sī dōu de qíng ， yì xīn lái qiú hé 。

Now 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.

希律在所定的日子，穿上朝服，坐在位上，对他们讲论一番。

xī lǜ zài suǒ dìng de rì zi ， chuān shàng cháo fú ， zuò zài wèi shàng ， duì tā men jiǎng lùn yì fān 。

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

百姓喊着说：「这是神的声音，不是人的声音。」

bǎi xìng hǎn zhe shuō ：「 zhè shì shén de shēng yīn ， bú shì rén de shēng yīn 。」

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

希律不归荣耀给 神，所以主的使者立刻罚他，他被虫所咬，气就绝了。

xī lǜ bù guī róng yào gěi shén ， suǒ yǐ zhǔ de shǐ zhě lì kè fá tā ， tā bèi chóng suǒ yǎo ， qì jiù jué le 。

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

神的道日见兴旺，越发广传。

shén de dào rì jiàn xīng wàng ， yuè fā guǎng chuán 。

But the word of God grew and multiplied.

巴拿巴和扫罗办完了他们供给的事，就从耶路撒冷回来，带着称呼马可的约翰同去。

bā ná bā hé sǎo luó bàn wán le tā men gòng gěi de shì ， jiù cóng yē lù sā lěng huí lái ， dài zhe chēng hu mǎ kě de yuē hàn tóng qù 。

Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
