오늘의 찬양 (새 382, 통 432 너 근심 걱정 말아라)

오늘의 말씀 (사도행전 12:1-12)

1 그 때에 헤롯 왕이 손을 들어 교회 중에서 몇 사람을 해하려 하여

1 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.

2 요한의 형제 야고보를 칼로 죽이니

2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.

3 유대인들이 이 일을 기뻐하는 것을 보고 베드로도 잡으려 할새 때는 무교절 기간이라

3 When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

4 잡으매 옥에 가두어 군인 넷씩인 네 패에게 맡겨 지키고 유월절 후에 백성 앞에 끌어 내고자 하더라

4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.

5 이에 베드로는 옥에 갇혔고 교회는 그를 위하여 간절히 하나님께 기도하더라

5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

6 헤롯이 잡아 내려고 하는 그 전날 밤에 베드로가 두 군인 틈에서 두 쇠사슬에 매여 누워 자는데 파수꾼들이 문 밖에서 옥을 지키더니

6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.

7 홀연히 주의 사자가 나타나매 옥중에 광채가 빛나며 또 베드로의 옆구리를 쳐 깨워 이르되 급히 일어나라 하니 쇠사슬이 그 손에서 벗어지더라

7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists.

8 천사가 이르되 띠를 띠고 신을 신으라 하거늘 베드로가 그대로 하니 천사가 또 이르되 겉옷을 입고 따라오라 한대

8 Then the angel said to him, 'Put on your clothes and sandals.' And Peter did so. 'Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,' the angel told him.

9 베드로가 나와서 따라갈새 천사가 하는 것이 생시인 줄 알지 못하고 환상을 보는가 하니라

9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.

10 이에 첫째와 둘째 파수를 지나 시내로 통한 쇠문에 이르니 문이 저절로 열리는지라 나와서 한 거리를 지나매 천사가 곧 떠나더라

10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.

11 이에 베드로가 정신이 들어 이르되 내가 이제야 참으로 주께서 그의 천사를 보내어 나를 헤롯의 손과 유대 백성의 모든 기대에서 벗어나게 하신 줄 알겠노라 하여

11 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating."

12 깨닫고 마가라 하는 요한의 어머니 마리아의 집에 가니 여러 사람이 거기에 모여 기도하고 있더라

12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.
