Caeltueih 12
1 Te vaeng tue ah hlangboel khuikah a ngen te phaep ham manghai Herod loh kut a hlah thil.
About that time Herod the king exerted his power to distress some of the church.
2 Te dongah Johan kah a manuca James te cunghang neh a ngawn.
And he cut off James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 Tedae Judah rhoek kah a ngaingaih la om tila a hmuh vaengah Peter khaw tuuk ham a khoep. Te vaengah vaidamding tue la om.
And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also, (in the days of unleavened bread: )
4 Amah te khaw a tuuk uh tih thongim ah a parhaeng uh. Anih aka tawt ham rhalkap rhoi li a khueh uh tih yoom phoeiah pilnam taengah phoe puei ham cai uh.
whom he seized and put into prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending, after the passover, to bring him out to the people.
5 Peter tah thongim ah parhaeng ngawn cakhaw hlangboel te anih ham Pathen taengah thangthuinah nguen nguen aka khueh pah la om.
Peter was therefore kept in custody: but incessant prayer was made to God for him by the church.
6 Tedae anih te Herod taengah thak ham cai. Amah khoyin a pha vaengah, Peter te thirhui panit neh a pin tih rhalkap rhoi laklo ah ip. Aka tawtkung rhoek long khaw thongim te thohka hmaiah a tawt uh.
And when Herod was about to bring him forth, that very night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the guards at the door watched the prison.
7 Te vaengah Boeipa kah puencawn pakcak ha pai tih thong imkhui ah vangnah neh a tue. Te phoeiah Peter kah a vae te duem a bael pah phoeiah a haeng tih, “Thamaa la thoo lah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah a kut lamkah thirhui tah pahoi a tling pah.
And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the room; and smiting Peter on the side, he waked him, and said, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 Puencawn loh anih te, “Cihin khit lamtah na khokhom te buen laeh,” a ti nah tih a saii van tangloeng. Te phoeiah, “Na himbai te bai lamtah kai m'vai lah,” a ti nah.
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself and tie on thy sandals: and he did so. And he saith unto him, Throw thy garment round thee, and follow me.
9 Cet tih a vai ngawn dae puencawn lamloh aka om hno he om taktak tila ming pawt tih mangthui a hmuh bangla a poek.
So he went out and followed him; and he did not know, that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
10 Thongim a cuek neh a pabae la ham poe uh tih khopuei la aka pawk thi vongka te a pha uh. Amih ham tah thohka khaw amah a ong uh coeng dongah imhlai laklo pakhat ah cet uh tih lamhma uh. Te vaengah puencawn tah anih taeng lamloh vil nong.
And passing through the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate, that leadeth into the city, which of its own accord opened to them: and they went out and passed on through one street; and then the angel departed from him.
11 Te daengah Peter amah te a cueih ha om, “Boeipa loh a puencawn te han tueih tih Herod kut, Judah pilnam kah lamsonnah boeih lamloh kai n'hlawt te rhep ka ming coeng,” a ti.
And Peter being come to himself said, Now I know truly, that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 A sap uh phoeiah tah Marku la a khue Johan kah a manu Mary im la cet. Tekah aka om rhoek khaw muep tingtun uh tih thangthui uh.
And considering with himself, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was sirnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
13 Vongka kah thohka te a khoek hatah salnu pakhat, a ming ah Rhoda loh a paan tih a hnatun.
And when Peter knocked at the door of the porch, a servant named Rhoda came to ask who was there.
14 Tedae Peter kah ol la a hmat vaengah a omngaihnah neh te thohka a ong mueh la cu phai tih thohka ah Peter a pai te puen phai.
And knowing Peter's voice, through excess of joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them, that Peter was standing at the door.
15 Tedae anih te, “Na ang coeng,” a ti nahuh. Anih khaw om ca tila khak huul uh. Te daengah, “Anih kah puencawn ni,” a ti uh.
And they said to her, Thou art mad: but she confidently affirmed that it was so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 Tedae Peter loh koep koep a khoek. Te vaengah a ong pa uh tih amah te a hmuh uh dongah limlum uh.
But Peter continued knocking; and when they opened the door, they saw him, and were astonished.
17 Te vaengah amih te kamkhuem sak ham kut a cavoih tih Boeipa loh thongim lamkah a doek te amih taengah a thui pah. “Te phoeiah he he James neh a manuca rhoek taengah khaw puen pa uh,” a ti nah tih hmuen tloe la vawl cet.
But he made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, and related to them, how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, tell these things to James and to the other brethren. And he departed and went to another place.
18 Khothaih a pha vaengah rhalkap khuiah puenpa la a om te a yool mai moenih. Te vaengah Peter tah melam a om co.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 Anih te Herod long khaw a tlap dae a hmuh pawt dongah aka tawtkung rhoek te a cae tih khuen ham ol a paek. Te phoeiah Judea lamloh Kaiserea la suntla tih kho a sak.
And Herod searching for him, and not finding him, brought the keepers to a trial, and ordered them to be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and abode there.
20 A om rhuet vaengah Tyre rhoek neh Sidoni rhoek taengah a thinhul. Te dongah anih te tun a paan uh tih manghai imkhui kah Balastus te a cael uh. Amih kho te rhalboei loh a khut oeh dongah rhoepnah ham a hloep uh.
And Herod was going to make war upon the Tyrians and Sidonians: but they came to him with one consent, and making interest with Blastus the king's chamberlain, they sued for peace; because their territory was supplied with provision by the king's country.
21 Amah khohnin buelh ah Herod loh rhalboei himbai te a bai, a ngolkhoel dongah ngol tih amih te a uen.
And upon a set day, Herod arrayed in his royal robes, and sitting upon his throne, made an oration to them.
22 Te vaengah rhaengpuei loh, “Pathen ol ni, hlang ol moenih, “tila a o.
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man:
23 Tedae Pathen te thangpomnah a khueh pawt dongah Boeipa kah puencawn loh anih te pahoi a boh. Te dongah a rhiit la om tih duek.
but immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and being devoured by worms he died.
24 Te dongah Pathen kah olka tah rhoeng tih ping coeng.
But the word of God grew and was multiplied.
25 Barnabas neh Saul tah Jerusalem la bal rhoi tih bibi a coeng rhoi phoeiah Marku la a khue Johan te a khuen rhoi.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their charge, taking along with them John who was sirnamed Mark.
