Acts 12
1 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
Eta dembora berean iar cedin regue Herodes Eliçaco batzuén affligitzen.
2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
Eta hil ceçan Iacques Ioannesen anayea, ezpataz.
3 And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Eta ikussiric hori laket çayela Iuduey, auança cedin Pierrisen-ere hatzamaitera: (eta ciraden altchagarri gaberico oguién egunac)
4 He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended 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 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
Pierris bada beguiratzen çutén presoindeguian: baina Eliçác harengatic ardura Iaincoari othoitz eguiten ceraucan.
6 On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to 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 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.
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 “Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you 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 So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.
Eta ilkiric Pierris iarreiqui cequión, eta etzaquian eguia cenez Aingueruäz eguiten cena: baina vste çuen cembeit visione ikusten çuela.
10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left 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 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”
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 And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had 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 He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
Eta bulkatu çuenean Pierrisec etche aitzineco borthá, ilki cedin nescatobat behatzera, Rhode deitzen cenic.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”
Eta eçaguturic Pierrisen voza, bozcarioz etzeçan irequi etche aitzineco borthá, baina barnera laster eguinic declara ciecén, Pierris borthaitzinean cegoela.
15 “You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
Eta hec erran cieçoten, Erhoa aiz. Baina harc seguratzen çuen hala cela: eta hec cioiten, Haren Aingueruä dun.
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
Baina Pierrisec bulkatzez perseueratzen çuen: eta irequiric, ikus ceçaten hura, eta spanta citecen.
17 Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for 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 At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
Baina arguitu cenean gudu handia cen gendarmesén artean eya Pierris cer eguin cen.
19 After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time 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 in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him. Having secured the support of Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their region 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 the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
Eta egun assignatu batez, Herodesec regue arropaz veztituric, iudicioco iar lekuan iarriric, harengabat eguin ciecén.
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
Eta populua oihuz iar cedin, Iaincoaren voza, eta ez guiçonarena!
23 Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and 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 continued to spread and multiply.
Baina Iaincoaren hitza auançatzen cen eta multiplicatzen.
25 When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
Barnabas-ere eta Saul itzul citecen Ierusalemetic, carguä complituric, berequin harturic Ioannes-ere icen goiticoz Marc deitzen cena.
