1OR intorno a quel tempo il re Erode mise le mani a straziare alcuni di que' della chiesa.
1And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
2E fece morir con la spada Giacomo, fratel di Giovanni.
2And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3E veggendo che ciò era grato a' Giudei, aggiunse di pigliare ancora Pietro (or erano i giorni degli azzimi).
3And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
4E presolo, lo mise in prigione, dandolo a guardare a quattro mute di soldati di quattro l'una; volendone, dopo la Pasqua, dare uno spettacolo al popolo.
4And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
5Pietro adunque era guardato nella prigione; ma continue orazioni erano fatte della chiesa per lui a Dio.
5Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
6Or la notte avanti che Erode ne facesse un pubblico spettacolo, Pietro dormiva in mezzo di due soldati, legato di due catene; e le guardie davanti alla porta guardavano la prigione.
6And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7Ed ecco, un angelo del Signore sopraggiunse, ed una luce risplendè nella casa; e l'angelo , percosso il fianco a Pietro, lo svegliò, dicendo: Levati prestamente. E le catene gli caddero dalle mani.
7And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.
8E l'angelo gli disse: Cingiti, e legati le scarpe. Ed egli fece così. Poi gli disse: Mettiti la tua veste attorno, e seguitami.
8And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9Pietro adunque, essendo uscito, lo seguitava, e non sapeva che fosse vero quel che si faceva dall'angelo; anzi pensava vedere una visione.
9And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
10Ora, com'ebbero passata la prima e la seconda guardia, vennero alla porta di ferro che conduce alla città, la qual da sè stessa si aperse loro; ed essendo usciti, passarono una strada, e in quello stante l'angelo si dipartì da lui.
10And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him.
11E Pietro, ritornato in sè, disse: Ora per certo conosco, che il Signore ha mandato il suo angelo, e mi ha liberato di man d'Erode, e di tutta l'aspettazion del popolo de' Guidei.
11And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12E considerando la cosa , venne in casa di Maria, madre di Giovanni, soprannominato Marco, ove molti fratelli erano raunati, ed oravano.
12And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
13Ed avendo Pietro picchiato all'uscio dell'antiporto, una fanticella, chiamata per nome Rode, si accostò chetamente per sottascoltare.
13And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.
14E, riconosciuta la voce di Pietro, per l'allegrezza non aperse la porta; anzi, corse dentro, e rapportò che Pietro stava davanti all'antiporto.
14And as soon as she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate.
15Ma essi le dissero: Tu farnetichi. Ed ella pure affermava che così era. Ed essi dicevano: Egli è il suo angelo.
15But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.
16Or Pietro continuava a picchiare. Ed essi, avendo gli aperto, lo videro, e sbigottirono.
16But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
17Ma egli, fatto lor cenno con la mano che tacessero, raccontò loro come il Signore l'avea tratto fuor di prigione. Poi disse: Rapportate queste cose a Giacomo, ed ai fratelli. Ed essendo uscito, andò in un altro luogo.
17But he beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison, and he said: Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place.
18Ora, fattosi giorno, vi fu non piccol turbamento fra i soldati, che cosa Pietro fosse divenuto.
18Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19Ed Erode, ricercatolo, e non avendolo trovato, dopo avere esaminate le guardie, comandò che fosser menate al supplicio. Poi discese di Giudea in Cesarea, e quivi dimorò alcun tempo .
19And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not; having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death; and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there.
20Or Erode era indegnato contro a' Tirii, e Sidonii, ed avea nell'animo di far lor guerra; ma essi di pari consentimento si presentarono a lui; e, persuaso Blasto, cameriere del re, chiedevano pace; perciocchè il lor paese era nudrito di quel del re.
20And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him, and having gained Blastus, who was the king’s chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him.
21E in un certo giorno assegnato, Erode, vestito d'una vesta reale, e sedendo sopra il tribunale, arringava loro.
21And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.
22E il popolo gli fece delle acclamazioni, dicendo: Voce di Dio, e non d'uomo.
22And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23E in quello stante un angelo del Signore lo percosse, perciocchè non avea data gloria a Dio; e morì, roso da' vermini.
23And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.
24Ora la parola di Dio cresceva, e moltiplicava.
24But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
25E Barnaba, e Saulo, compiuto il servigio, ritornarono di Gerusalemme in Antiochia, avendo preso ancora seco Giovanni soprannominato Marco.
25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
