Guncei 12
1 Hatnae tueng nah Herod siangpahrang ni kawhmoun thungvah tami tangawn rektap hanelah a man awh.
NOW about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
2 Ahni ni Jawhan e hmau Jem hah tahloi hoi a thei.
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 Hettelah a thei nah Judahnaw a lunghawi awh tie a hmu dawkvah Piter hai man hanlah bout a kâcai. Hatnae tueng teh tonphuenhoehe vaiyei pawi lah ao.
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
4 Herod ni Piter a man hoi thongim thung a pakhum teh ka ring hanelah ransa phu touh dawk pali touh kaawm e, phu pali touh koe a poe. Ahni ni ceitakhai pawi a baw toteh tamimaya hmalah a tâcokhai han a ngainae ao.
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
5 Hettelah hoi Piter teh thongim thung a paung awh. Hatnavah kawhmoun ni Piter hanlah Cathut koe puenghoi a ratoum pouh awh.
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
6 Herod ni tamimaya hmalah a tâcokhai nahane hnin a pha hoehnahlan tangmin vah Piter hah sumbawtarui kahni touh hoi a pakhi awh teh ransa roi e rahak a i sak awh. Ka ring e naw ni hai takhang koe king a ring awh.
And 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.
7 Hatnavah Cathut e kalvantami a tho teh thongim thung pheng a ang. Kalvantami ni Piter e a na koe a tek pouh teh, karang thaw leih atipouh. Hat nah tahma vah sumbawtaruinaw ahni kut dawk hoi pak a ca pouh.
And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 Kalvantami ni, taisawm kâyeng nateh khokkhawm khawm leih atipouh e patetlah Piter ni a kâroe. Hahoi, hni kâkhu nateh ka hnuk kâbang, bout atipouh.
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 Piter ni a thaw teh ahnie a hnuk a kâbang. Hatei kalvantami ni ati e hah kantak nahoeh mue, vision mue ka hmu a ti.
And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
10 Thongim karingkungnaw ni, ringnae apasueke hoi apâhni e hmuen a tapoung teh kho thung kâennae sum longkha koe a pha roi. Hote longkha hai a mahmawk a kamawng teh hote hmuen koehoi a tâco roi. Hahoi lamthung buet touh dawk a cei navah, kalvantami ni Piter teh a ceitakhai.
When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
11 Hatnavah Piter a lungcai teh, Bawipa ni a kalvantami a patoun teh, Herod bawi e kut dawk hoi Judahnaw ni a sak e naw thung hoi, kai hah na hlout sak katang e ka panue telah a dei.
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, 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.
12 Hote hno kaawm e a lungcai katang hoiyah Mark ati awh e Jawhan e a manu Meri im lah a cei. Hote im dawk taminaw a kamkhueng awh teh a ratoum awh.
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 praying.
13 Piter ni takhang tho a takhawng pouh nah Rhoda tie sannu ni tho paawng hanlah a cei.
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 Piter e a lawk tie a nout navah, tho paawng pouh laipalah lunghawinae lahoi im thung lah a yawng teh, tho koe Piter a kangdue, tie a dei pouh.
And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 Ahnimouh ni, na pathu maw atipouh awh. Hatei napui ca ni a tang doeh telah makkhak a dei. Hatdawkvah ahnimouh ni yah, ahnie a kalvantami vai aw, atipouh awh.
And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 Hatnavah Piter ni tho a takhawng. Ahnimouh ni a paawng teh a hmu navah a kângairu awh.
But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
17 Sairasuep lah awm awh telah a kut hoi a kamnue sak. Bawipa ni bangtelah hoi maw thongim thung hoi na tâco sak tie a dei pouh. Hete konglamnaw hah, Jem hoi hmaunawnghanaw koehai dei pouh awh atipouh teh alouklah a ceitakhai.
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
18 Amom khodai toteh, Piter heh bangne ka tet ati awh teh ransanaw teh ruengrueng ati awh e heh kathoenge nahoeh.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 Herod ni tawng awh atipouh. Hatei hmawt awh hoeh. Karingkungnaw pacei nateh thet awh telah kâ a poe. Hathnukkhu vah Herod teh Judah ram hoi Kaisarea kho lah a cei teh hawvah dawngdeng ao.
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and there abode.
20 Herod teh Taire hoi Sidon taminaw koevah, puenghoi a lungphuen dawkvah, ahnimanaw ni Herod koe a tho awh teh, Herod ka ring e Blastus hah kâmaihawikhai hanelah a dei pouh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh ahnimae ram teh siangpahrang e ram thung hoi canei ka hmawt e lah ao awh.
And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country.
21 Ahnimouh kamkhueng hnin vah Herod teh ama Siangpahrang e a puengcang kâmahrawk teh a bawitungkhung dawkvah a tahung teh tamimaya koe lawk a dei pouh.
And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 Kamkhueng e taminaw ni, Lawk kadeikung heh tami kahring e lawk nahoeh cathut e lawk doeh titeh a hram awh.
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 Herod ni Cathut hah a bari hoeh dawkvah Bawipa e kalvantami ni vai touh lahoi a hem. Ahni teh pâri ni a ca teh a due.
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 Cathut lawk teh a kampai teh hoe a kamphung.
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 Barnabas hoi Sawl ni kabawpnae thaw a cum roi hnukkhu Mark tie Jawhan hai a hrawi roi teh Jerusalem hoi bout a ban awh.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
