< Acts 12 >
1 Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
Eta dembora berean iar cedin regue Herodes Eliçaco batzuén affligitzen.
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
Eta hil ceçan Iacques Ioannesen anayea, ezpataz.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
Eta ikussiric hori laket çayela Iuduey, auança cedin Pierrisen-ere hatzamaitera: (eta ciraden altchagarri gaberico oguién egunac)
4 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.
Eta hatzamanic eçar ceçan presoindeguian, eta eman ciecén laur laurnazco gendarmesi beguiratzera: bazco ondoan hura populuari presentatu nahiz.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
Pierris bada beguiratzen çutén presoindeguian: baina Eliçác harengatic ardura Iaincoari othoitz eguiten ceraucan.
6 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.
Eta Herodesec hura presentatzeco çuenean, gau hartan lo cetzan Pierris bi gendarmesen artean, bi cadenaz estecatua, eta goardéc borthaitzinean beguiratzen çutén presoindeguia.
7 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.
Eta huná, Iaunaren Ainguerubat ethor cedin, eta arguibatec argui ceçan presoindeguian, eta ioric Pierrisen seihetsa, iratzar ceçan, cioela, Iaiqui adi fitetz, eta eror cequizquión cadenác escuetaric.
8 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.”
Eta erran cieçón Aingueruäc, Guerricadi, eta iaunz itzac eure sandaleac. Eta eguin ceçan hala. Guero erran cieçón, Har eçac eure arropá, eta arreit niri.
9 And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
Eta ilkiric Pierris iarreiqui cequión, eta etzaquian eguia cenez Aingueruäz eguiten cena: baina vste çuen cembeit visione ikusten çuela.
10 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.
Eta iraganic lehen goardia eta bigarrena, ethor citecen burdinazco borthara, ciuitatera daramanera, cein bere buruz irequi baitzequién, eta ilkiric iragan ceçaten karricabat, eta bertan parti cedin Aingueruä harenganic.
11 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.”
Orduan Pierrisec accordaturic erran ceçan, Orain daquit eguiazqui ecen Iaunac igorri vkan duela bere Aingueruä, eta idoqui nauela Herodesen escutic, eta Iuduén populuaren vstecari gucitaric.
12 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.
Eta gauçá consideraturic ethor cedin Maria Ioannesen, icen goiticoz Marc deitzen cenaren amaren etchera, non baitziraden anhitz bilduac eta othoitze eguiten ceudela.
13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Eta bulkatu çuenean Pierrisec etche aitzineco borthá, ilki cedin nescatobat behatzera, Rhode deitzen cenic.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
Eta eçaguturic Pierrisen voza, bozcarioz etzeçan irequi etche aitzineco borthá, baina barnera laster eguinic declara ciecén, Pierris borthaitzinean cegoela.
15 They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
Eta hec erran cieçoten, Erhoa aiz. Baina harc seguratzen çuen hala cela: eta hec cioiten, Haren Aingueruä dun.
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
Baina Pierrisec bulkatzez perseueratzen çuen: eta irequiric, ikus ceçaten hura, eta spanta citecen.
17 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.
Eta hæy keinu eguinic escuaz ichil litecen, conta ciecén nola Iaunac idoqui çuen presoindeguitic: eta erran ciecén, Conta ietzeçue gauça hauc Iacquesi eta anayey. Eta ilkiric ioan cedin berce leku batetara.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
Baina arguitu cenean gudu handia cen gendarmesén artean eya Pierris cer eguin cen.
19 When Herod had sought for him and did not 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.
Eta Herodesec hura galdeguinic eriden etzuenean, goardez informatione eguinic, mana ceçan punitzera eraman litecen: eta iautsiric Iudeatic Cesareara, han egon cedin.
20 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.
Eta Herodesec çuen guerla eguiteco gogo Tyrianoén eta Sidonianoén contra: baina hec gogo batez ethor citecen harengana, eta irabaciric Blasto, cein baitzén regueren gamberaco guehién, baque esquez ceuden: ceren hayén comarcá reguerenetic entretenitzen baitzen.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
Eta egun assignatu batez, Herodesec regue arropaz veztituric, iudicioco iar lekuan iarriric, harengabat eguin ciecén.
22 The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
Eta populua oihuz iar cedin, Iaincoaren voza, eta ez guiçonarena!
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.
Eta bertan io ceçan hura Iaincoaren Aingueruäc, ceren ezpaitzeraucan Iaincoari gloria eman: eta harabarturic hil cedin.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Baina Iaincoaren hitza auançatzen cen eta multiplicatzen.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
Barnabas-ere eta Saul itzul citecen Ierusalemetic, carguä complituric, berequin harturic Ioannes-ere icen goiticoz Marc deitzen cena.
