Acts 12
1 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
Ie henane zay, nañity fitàñe t’i Heroda mpanjaka hampisarerake ty ila’ i fivoriy.
2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
Navetra’e am-pibara t’Iakobe rahalahi’ i Jaona.
3 And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Ie nifohi’e te nahafale o Tehodao, le tinovo’e ami’ty nitsepahañe i Petera. Nanoeñe amo andro’ i Sabadidak’ i Mofo tsy aman-dalivaiio zay.
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.
Tsinepa’e re naho najo’e am-porozò ao naho nanolotse mpiray lian-dahindefoñe efatse hañambeñe aze, ie nisinafiry ty hañakatse aze añatrefa’ ondatio naho fa tampetse i Fihelañey.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
Aa le nitambozoreñe am-balabey ao t’i Petera vaho nimanea’ i Fivoriy halaly aman’ Añahare.
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.
Ie amy aniankale’ ty hanesea’ i Heroda, le nirotse añivo’ ty lahin-defoñe roe ao t’i Petera nivahoran-tsilisily roe, vaho nijohañe an-dalam-bey eo o mpigaritse i porozòio.
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.
Tojo te nivotrake eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà, le nireandreañe amy trañoy ty hazavàñe. Nedrè’e an-deme’e t’i Petera naho nampitroare’e ami’ty hoe, Miongaha masìka! vaho nivitsok’ am-pità’e o silisilio.
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.”
Le hoe ty asa’ i anjeliy tama’e: Midiaña naho mihanà. Nanoe’e izay. Le hoe re tama’e: Saravio o lamba’oo le mañoriha.
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.
Niakatse re, nanonjohy avao, fa tsy napota’e te ho tò i nanoe’ i anjeliy ama’ey; natao’e te nioniñ’ aroñaroñe.
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.
Rinio’ iareo ty liam-pigaritse valoha’e naho ty faharoe vaho nigaoñe ami’ty lalam-bey viñe fimoahañe amy rovay ze nisokake ho a iareo an-tsatri’e le niakatse naho nizotso mb’ami’ty lalañe mb’ eo vaho nimiañe ama’e i anjeliy.
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.”
Ie nivañoñe t’i Petera, le hoe re: Apotako henaneo an-katò te nirahe’ Iehovà i anjeli’ey hañaha ahy am-pità’ i Heroda naho amy ze fitamà’ o Jiosy iabio.
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.
Ie naharendreke izay, le nimb’ añ’ anjomba’ i Marie rene’ i Jaona natao Marka, ze nivoria’ ty maro nihalaly.
13 He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
Aa ie nañonkòñe amy lalam-bey fimoahañey t’i Petera, le nimb’eo ty mpitoroñ’ ampela atao Rodae handrendreke.
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!”
Ie nirendre’e ty fiarañanaña’ i Petera, le akore ty hafalea’e, kanao tsy nanokake lalañe, te mone nilay añe nitalily te nijohañe an-dalambey ao t’i Petera!
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.”
Veren-draha n’iheo, hoe iareo. Fe mbe nitambozore’e te to, le hoe iereo: I anjeli’ey ‘nio.
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
Mbe nañonkòñe avao t’i Petera. Aa naho sinoka’ iareo i lalañey, nizoe’ iereo re vaho nilatsa,
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.
le tinondrotondro’ i Petera am-pitañe hianjiña’ iareo naho natalili’e ty nampiakara’ i Talè aze amy porozòy. Le hoe re: Italilio t’Iakobe naho o roahalahio; vaho nienga mb’an-toetse hafa añe.
18 At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
Ie nimaraindray, hay aia ty fivalitaboa’ o lahin-defoñeo ami’ty nanjò’ i Petera.
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.
Ie nampitsoehe’ i Heroda soa fa tsy nioniñe, le nilohize’e o mpigaritseo vaho nampanese’e añe. Nizotso boake Iehodà mb’e Kaisaria añe t’i Heroda le nitambatse ao.
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.
Ie amy zao ro nioroñoroñe amy Tirò naho i Sidona, f’ie nifamantañe le nimb’ ama’e mb’eo re, naho nampivavè’ iareo t’i Blasto, mpiatra’ i mpanjakay, le nihalaly fifampilongoañe ama’e amy te mpamahañe ty tane’ i mpanjakay ty tane’ iareo.
21 On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
Aa ie amy andro tinendrey, nisikin-dambam-panjaka t’i Heroda, niambesatse am-piambesa’e eo nilañoñe am’ondatio.
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
Aa le nipazapazake ty hoe ondatio: Fiarañanañan-drañahare zao fa tsy a ondaty.
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.
Toly ndra pinao’ ty anjeli’ Iehovà amy zao, ie tsy nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare, le nihànen’ oletse vaho nihomake.
24 But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
Niraorao avao naho niboele ty tsara’ i Talè.
25 When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
Naho niheneke ty lia’ i Barnabasy naho i Saole e Ierosaleme ao le nimpoly vaho nindese’ iereo t’i Jaona, atao Marka mindre ama’e.
