Acts 12
1 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
Ní àkókò ìgbà náà ni Herodu ọba sì nawọ́ rẹ̀ mú àwọn kan nínú ìjọ, pẹ̀lú èrò láti pọ́n wọn lójú.
2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
Ó sì fi idà pa Jakọbu arákùnrin Johanu.
3 And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Nígbà tí ó sì rí pé èyí dùn mọ́ àwọn Júù nínú, ó sì nawọ́ mú Peteru pẹ̀lú. Ó sì jẹ́ ìgbà àjọ àìwúkàrà.
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.
Nígbà tí o sì mú un, ó fi i sínú túbú, ó fi lé àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́ mẹ́rin ti ọmọ-ogun lọ́wọ́ láti máa ṣọ́ ọ. Herodu ń rò láti mú un jáde fún àwọn ènìyàn lẹ́yìn ìrékọjá fún ìdájọ́.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
Nítorí náà wọn fi Peteru pamọ́ sínú túbú; ṣùgbọ́n ìjọ ń fi ìtara gbàdúrà sọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run fún un.
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.
Ní òru náà gan an ti Herodu ìbá sì mú un jáde, Peteru ń sùn láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ogun méjì, a fi ẹ̀wọ̀n méjì dè é, ẹ̀ṣọ́ sí wà ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà, wọ́n ń ṣọ́ túbú náà.
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.
Sì wò ó, angẹli Olúwa farahàn, ìmọ́lẹ̀ sì mọ́ nínú túbú; ó sì lu Peteru pẹ́pẹ́ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́, ó jí i, ó ni, “Dìde kánkán!” Ẹ̀wọ̀n sí bọ́ sílẹ̀ kúrò ní ọwọ́ Peteru.
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.”
Angẹli náà sì wí fún un pé, “Di àmùrè rẹ̀, kí ó sì wọ sálúbàtà rẹ!” Peteru sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀. Ó sì wí fún un pé, “Da aṣọ rẹ́ bora, ki ó sì máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn!”
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.
Peteru sì jáde, ó ń tọ̀ ọ́ lẹ́yìn; kò sí mọ̀ pé ohun tí a ṣe láti ọwọ́ angẹli náà jẹ́ òtítọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ó ṣe bí òun wà lójú ìran.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n kọjá ìṣọ́ èkínní àti èkejì, wọ́n dé ẹnu-ọ̀nà ìlẹ̀kùn irin tí ó lọ sí ìlú. Ó sí tìkára rẹ̀ ṣí sílẹ̀ fún wọn: wọ́n sì jáde, wọ́n ń gba ọ̀nà ìgboro kan lọ; lójúkan náà angẹli náà sì fi í sílẹ̀ lọ.
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.”
Nígbà tí ojú Peteru sì wálẹ̀, ó ní, “Nígbà yìí ni mo tó mọ̀ nítòótọ́ pé, Olúwa rán angẹli rẹ̀, ó sì gbà mi lọ́wọ́ Herodu àti gbogbo ohun tí àwọn ènìyàn Júù ń retí!”
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.
Nígbà tó sì rò ó, ó lọ sí ilé Maria ìyá Johanu, tí àpèlé rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Marku; níbi tí àwọn ènìyàn púpọ̀ péjọ sí, tí wọn ń gbàdúrà.
13 He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
Bí ó sì ti kan ìlẹ̀kùn ẹnu-ọ̀nà, ọmọbìnrin kan tí a n pè ní Roda wá láti dáhùn.
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!”
Nígbà tí ó sì ti mọ ohùn Peteru, kò ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn nítorí tí ayọ̀ kún ọkàn rẹ̀ gidigidi, ṣùgbọ́n ó súré wọ ilé, ó sísọ pé, Peteru dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà.
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.”
Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Ìwọ ń ṣe òmùgọ̀!” Ṣùgbọ́n ó tẹnumọ́ ọn gidigidi pé bẹ́ẹ̀ ni sẹ́. Wọn sì wí pé, “Angẹli rẹ̀ ni!”
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
Ṣùgbọ́n Peteru ń kànkùn síbẹ̀, nígbà tí wọn sì ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn, wọ́n rí i, ẹnu sì yá wọ́n.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó juwọ́ sí wọn pé kí wọn dákẹ́, ó sì ròyìn fún wọn bí Olúwa ti mú òun jáde kúrò nínú túbú. Ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ ro èyí fún Jakọbu àti àwọn arákùnrin yòókù!” Ó sì jáde, ó lọ sí ibòmíràn.
18 At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ sì mọ́, ìrúkèrúdò díẹ̀ kọ́ ni ó wà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ogun nípa ohun tí ó dé bá Peteru.
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.
Nígbà tí Herodu sì wá a kiri, tí kò sì rí i, ó wádìí àwọn ẹ̀ṣọ́, ó pàṣẹ pé, kí a pa wọ́n. Herodu sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti Judea lọ sí Kesarea, ó sì wà níbẹ̀ fún ìgbà díẹ̀.
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.
Herodu sí ń bínú gidigidi sí àwọn ará Tire àti Sidoni; ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n fi ìmọ̀ ṣọ̀kan wá sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, nígbà tí wọn sì ti tu Bilasitu ìwẹ̀fà ọba lójú, wọn ń bẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àlàáfíà, nítorí pé ìlú ọba náà ni ìlú tí wọ́n ti ń gba oúnjẹ.
21 On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
Ni ọjọ́ àfiyèsí kan, Herodu sì wà nínú aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ̀, ni orí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì ń bá àwọn àjọ ènìyàn sọ̀rọ̀ ní gbangba.
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
Àwọn ènìyàn sì hó wí pé, “Ohùn ọlọ́run ni èyí, kì í sì í ṣe ti ènìyàn!”
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.
Lójúkan náà, nítorí ti Herodu kò fi ògo fún Ọlọ́run, angẹli Olúwa lù ú, ó sì kú, ìdin sì jẹ ẹ́.
24 But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run gbilẹ̀, ó sì bí sí i.
25 When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
Barnaba àti Saulu sì padà wá láti Jerusalẹmu, nígbà ti wọ́n sì parí iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ wọn, wọn sì mú Johanu ẹni tí àpèlé rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Marku wá pẹ̀lú wọn.
