Acts 12
1 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
tasmin samaye herodrājo maṇḍalyāḥ kiyajjanebhyo duḥkhaṁ dātuṁ prārabhat|
2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
viśeṣato yohanaḥ sodaraṁ yākūbaṁ karavālāghāten hatavān|
3 And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
tasmād yihūdīyāḥ santuṣṭā abhavan iti vijñāya sa pitaramapi dharttuṁ gatavān|
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.
tadā kiṇvaśūnyapūpotsavasamaya upātiṣṭat; ata utsave gate sati lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ taṁ bahirāneyyāmīti manasi sthirīkṛtya sa taṁ dhārayitvā rakṣṇārtham yeṣām ekaikasaṁghe catvāro janāḥ santi teṣāṁ caturṇāṁ rakṣakasaṁghānāṁ samīpe taṁ samarpya kārāyāṁ sthāpitavān|
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
kintuṁ pitarasya kārāsthitikāraṇāt maṇḍalyā lokā aviśrāmam īśvarasya samīpe prārthayanta|
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.
anantaraṁ herodi taṁ bahirānāyituṁ udyate sati tasyāṁ rātrau pitaro rakṣakadvayamadhyasthāne śṛṅkhaladvayena baddhvaḥ san nidrita āsīt, dauvārikāśca kārāyāḥ sammukhe tiṣṭhanato dvāram arakṣiṣuḥ|
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.
etasmin samaye parameśvarasya dūte samupasthite kārā dīptimatī jātā; tataḥ sa dūtaḥ pitarasya kukṣāvāvātaṁ kṛtvā taṁ jāgarayitvā bhāṣitavān tūrṇamuttiṣṭha; tatastasya hastasthaśṛṅkhaladvayaṁ galat patitaṁ|
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.”
sa dūtastamavadat, baddhakaṭiḥ san pādayoḥ pāduke arpaya; tena tathā kṛte sati dūtastam uktavān gātrīyavastraṁ gātre nidhāya mama paścād ehi|
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.
tataḥ pitarastasya paścād vrajana bahiragacchat, kintu dūtena karmmaitat kṛtamiti satyamajñātvā svapnadarśanaṁ jñātavān|
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.
itthaṁ tau prathamāṁ dvitīyāñca kārāṁ laṅghitvā yena lauhanirmmitadvāreṇa nagaraṁ gamyate tatsamīpaṁ prāpnutāṁ; tatastasya kavāṭaṁ svayaṁ muktamabhavat tatastau tatsthānād bahi rbhūtvā mārgaikasya sīmāṁ yāvad gatau; tato'kasmāt sa dūtaḥ pitaraṁ tyaktavān|
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.”
tadā sa cetanāṁ prāpya kathitavān nijadūtaṁ prahitya parameśvaro herodo hastād yihūdīyalokānāṁ sarvvāśāyāśca māṁ samuddhṛtavān ityahaṁ niścayaṁ jñātavān|
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.
sa vivicya mārkanāmrā vikhyātasya yohano mātu rmariyamo yasmin gṛhe bahavaḥ sambhūya prārthayanta tanniveśanaṁ gataḥ|
13 He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
pitareṇa bahirdvāra āhate sati rodānāmā bālikā draṣṭuṁ gatā|
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!”
tataḥ pitarasya svaraṁ śruvā sā harṣayuktā satī dvāraṁ na mocayitvā pitaro dvāre tiṣṭhatīti vārttāṁ vaktum abhyantaraṁ dhāvitvā gatavatī|
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.”
te prāvocan tvamunmattā jātāsi kintu sā muhurmuhuruktavatī satyamevaitat|
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
tadā te kathitavantastarhi tasya dūto bhavet|
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.
pitaro dvāramāhatavān etasminnantare dvāraṁ mocayitvā pitaraṁ dṛṣṭvā vismayaṁ prāptāḥ|
18 At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
tataḥ pitaro niḥśabdaṁ sthātuṁ tān prati hastena saṅketaṁ kṛtvā parameśvaro yena prakāreṇa taṁ kārāyā uddhṛtyānītavān tasya vṛttāntaṁ tānajñāpayat, yūyaṁ gatvā yākubaṁ bhrātṛgaṇañca vārttāmetāṁ vadatetyuktā sthānāntaraṁ prasthitavān|
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.
prabhāte sati pitaraḥ kva gata ityatra rakṣakāṇāṁ madhye mahān kalaho jātaḥ|
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.
herod bahu mṛgayitvā tasyoddeśe na prāpte sati rakṣakān saṁpṛcchya teṣāṁ prāṇān hantum ādiṣṭavān|
21 On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
paścāt sa yihūdīyapradeśāt kaisariyānagaraṁ gatvā tatrāvātiṣṭhat|
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
sorasīdonadeśayo rlokebhyo herodi yuyutsau sati te sarvva ekamantraṇāḥ santastasya samīpa upasthāya lvāstanāmānaṁ tasya vastragṛhādhīśaṁ sahāyaṁ kṛtvā herodā sārddhaṁ sandhiṁ prārthayanta yatastasya rājño deśena teṣāṁ deśīyānāṁ bharaṇam abhavatṁ
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.
ataḥ kutracin nirupitadine herod rājakīyaṁ paricchadaṁ paridhāya siṁhāsane samupaviśya tān prati kathām uktavān|
24 But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
tato lokā uccaiḥkāraṁ pratyavadan, eṣa manujaravo na hi, īśvarīyaravaḥ|
25 When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
tadā herod īśvarasya sammānaṁ nākarot; tasmāddhetoḥ parameśvarasya dūto haṭhāt taṁ prāharat tenaiva sa kīṭaiḥ kṣīṇaḥ san prāṇān ajahāt| kintvīśvarasya kathā deśaṁ vyāpya prabalābhavat| tataḥ paraṁ barṇabbāśaulau yasya karmmaṇo bhāraṁ prāpnutāṁ tābhyāṁ tasmin sampādite sati mārkanāmnā vikhyāto yo yohan taṁ saṅginaṁ kṛtvā yirūśālamnagarāt pratyāgatau|
