< Acts 12 >

1 Now at the same time, king Herod extended his hand, in order to afflict some from the Church.
تَسْمِنْ سَمَیے ہیرودْ‌راجو مَنْڈَلْیاح کِیَجَّنیبھْیو دُحکھَں داتُں پْرارَبھَتْ۔
2 Then he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
وِشیشَتو یوہَنَح سودَرَں یاکُوبَں کَرَوالاگھاتینْ ہَتَوانْ۔
3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he set out next to apprehend Peter also. Now it was the days of Unleavened Bread.
تَسْمادْ یِہُودِییاح سَنْتُشْٹا اَبھَوَنْ اِتِ وِجْنایَ سَ پِتَرَمَپِ دھَرْتُّں گَتَوانْ۔
4 So when he had apprehended him, he sent him into prison, handing him over into the custody of four groups of four soldiers, intending to produce him to the people after the Passover.
تَدا کِنْوَشُونْیَپُوپوتْسَوَسَمَیَ اُپاتِشْٹَتْ؛ اَتَ اُتْسَوے گَتے سَتِ لوکاناں سَمَکْشَں تَں بَہِرانییّامِیتِ مَنَسِ سْتھِرِیکرِتْیَ سَ تَں دھارَیِتْوا رَکْشْنارْتھَمْ ییشامْ ایکَیکَسَںگھے چَتْوارو جَناح سَنْتِ تیشاں چَتُرْناں رَکْشَکَسَںگھاناں سَمِیپے تَں سَمَرْپْیَ کارایاں سْتھاپِتَوانْ۔
5 And so Peter was detained in prison. But prayers were being made without ceasing, by the Church, to God on his behalf.
کِنْتُں پِتَرَسْیَ کاراسْتھِتِکارَناتْ مَنْڈَلْیا لوکا اَوِشْرامَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ سَمِیپے پْرارْتھَیَنْتَ۔
6 And when Herod was ready to produce him, in that same night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains. And there were guards in front of the door, guarding the prison.
اَنَنْتَرَں ہیرودِ تَں بَہِرانایِتُں اُدْیَتے سَتِ تَسْیاں راتْرَو پِتَرو رَکْشَکَدْوَیَمَدھْیَسْتھانے شرِنْکھَلَدْوَیینَ بَدّھوَح سَنْ نِدْرِتَ آسِیتْ، دَووارِکاشْچَ کارایاح سَمُّکھے تِشْٹھَنَتو دْوارَمْ اَرَکْشِشُح۔
7 And behold, an Angel of the Lord stood near, and a light shined forth in the cell. And tapping Peter on the side, he awakened him, saying, “Rise up, quickly.” And the chains fell from his hands.
ایتَسْمِنْ سَمَیے پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتے سَمُپَسْتھِتے کارا دِیپْتِمَتِی جاتا؛ تَتَح سَ دُوتَح پِتَرَسْیَ کُکْشاواواتَں کرِتْوا تَں جاگَرَیِتْوا بھاشِتَوانْ تُورْنَمُتِّشْٹھَ؛ تَتَسْتَسْیَ ہَسْتَسْتھَشرِنْکھَلَدْوَیَں گَلَتْ پَتِتَں۔
8 Then the Angel said to him: “Dress yourself, and put on your boots.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your garment around yourself and follow me.”
سَ دُوتَسْتَمَوَدَتْ، بَدّھَکَٹِح سَنْ پادَیوح پادُکے اَرْپَیَ؛ تینَ تَتھا کرِتے سَتِ دُوتَسْتَمْ اُکْتَوانْ گاتْرِییَوَسْتْرَں گاتْرے نِدھایَ مَمَ پَشْچادْ ایہِ۔
9 And going out, he followed him. And he did not know this truth: that this was being done by an Angel. For he thought that he was seeing a vision.
تَتَح پِتَرَسْتَسْیَ پَشْچادْ وْرَجَنَ بَہِرَگَچّھَتْ، کِنْتُ دُوتینَ کَرْمَّیتَتْ کرِتَمِتِ سَتْیَمَجْناتْوا سْوَپْنَدَرْشَنَں جْناتَوانْ۔
10 And passing by the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city; and it opened for them by itself. And departing, they continued on along a certain side street. And suddenly the Angel withdrew from him.
اِتّھَں تَو پْرَتھَماں دْوِتِییانْچَ کاراں لَنْگھِتْوا یینَ لَوہَنِرْمِّتَدْوارینَ نَگَرَں گَمْیَتے تَتْسَمِیپَں پْراپْنُتاں؛ تَتَسْتَسْیَ کَواٹَں سْوَیَں مُکْتَمَبھَوَتْ تَتَسْتَو تَتْسْتھانادْ بَہِ رْبھُوتْوا مارْگَیکَسْیَ سِیماں یاوَدْ گَتَو؛ تَتوکَسْماتْ سَ دُوتَح پِتَرَں تْیَکْتَوانْ۔
11 And Peter, returning to himself, said: “Now I know, truly, that the Lord sent his Angel, and that he rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the people of the Jews were anticipating.”
تَدا سَ چیتَناں پْراپْیَ کَتھِتَوانْ نِجَدُوتَں پْرَہِتْیَ پَرَمیشْوَرو ہیرودو ہَسْتادْ یِہُودِییَلوکاناں سَرْوّاشایاشْچَ ماں سَمُدّھرِتَوانْ اِتْیَہَں نِشْچَیَں جْناتَوانْ۔
12 And as he was considering this, he arrived at the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered and were praying.
سَ وِوِچْیَ مارْکَنامْرا وِکھْیاتَسْیَ یوہَنو ماتُ رْمَرِیَمو یَسْمِنْ گرِہے بَہَوَح سَمْبھُویَ پْرارْتھَیَنْتَ تَنِّویشَنَں گَتَح۔
13 Then, as he knocked at the door of the gate, a girl went out to answer, whose name was Rhoda.
پِتَرینَ بَہِرْدْوارَ آہَتے سَتِ روداناما بالِکا دْرَشْٹُں گَتا۔
14 And when she recognized the voice of Peter, out of joy, she did not open the gate, but instead, running in, she reported that Peter stood before the gate.
تَتَح پِتَرَسْیَ سْوَرَں شْرُوا سا ہَرْشَیُکْتا سَتِی دْوارَں نَ موچَیِتْوا پِتَرو دْوارے تِشْٹھَتِیتِ وارْتّاں وَکْتُمْ اَبھْیَنْتَرَں دھاوِتْوا گَتَوَتِی۔
15 But they said to her, “You are crazy.” But she reaffirmed that this was so. Then they were saying, “It is his angel.”
تے پْراووچَنْ تْوَمُنْمَتّا جاتاسِ کِنْتُ سا مُہُرْمُہُرُکْتَوَتِی سَتْیَمیوَیتَتْ۔
16 But Peter was persevering in knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him and were astonished.
تَدا تے کَتھِتَوَنْتَسْتَرْہِ تَسْیَ دُوتو بھَویتْ۔
17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he explained how the Lord had led him away from prison. And he said, “Inform James and those brothers.” And going out, he went away to another place.
پِتَرو دْوارَماہَتَوانْ ایتَسْمِنَّنْتَرے دْوارَں موچَیِتْوا پِتَرَں درِشْٹْوا وِسْمَیَں پْراپْتاح۔
18 Then, when daylight came, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what had happened concerning Peter.
تَتَح پِتَرو نِحشَبْدَں سْتھاتُں تانْ پْرَتِ ہَسْتینَ سَنْکیتَں کرِتْوا پَرَمیشْوَرو یینَ پْرَکارینَ تَں کارایا اُدّھرِتْیانِیتَوانْ تَسْیَ ورِتّانْتَں تانَجْناپَیَتْ، یُویَں گَتْوا یاکُبَں بھْراترِگَنَنْچَ وارْتّامیتاں وَدَتیتْیُکْتا سْتھانانْتَرَں پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ۔
19 And when Herod had requested him and did not obtain him, having had the guards interrogated, he ordered them led away. And descending from Judea into Caesarea, he lodged there.
پْرَبھاتے سَتِ پِتَرَح کْوَ گَتَ اِتْیَتْرَ رَکْشَکاناں مَدھْیے مَہانْ کَلَہو جاتَح۔
20 Now he was angry with those of Tyre and Sidon. But they came to him with one accord, and, having persuaded Blastus, who was over the bedchamber of the king, they petitioned for peace, because their regions were supplied with food by him.
ہیرودْ بَہُ مرِگَیِتْوا تَسْیودّیشے نَ پْراپْتے سَتِ رَکْشَکانْ سَںپرِچّھیَ تیشاں پْرانانْ ہَنْتُمْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔
21 Then, on the appointed day, Herod was clothed in kingly apparel, and he sat in the judgment seat, and he gave a speech to them.
پَشْچاتْ سَ یِہُودِییَپْرَدیشاتْ کَیسَرِیانَگَرَں گَتْوا تَتْراواتِشْٹھَتْ۔
22 Then the people were crying out, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
سورَسِیدونَدیشَیو رْلوکیبھْیو ہیرودِ یُیُتْسَو سَتِ تے سَرْوَّ ایکَمَنْتْرَناح سَنْتَسْتَسْیَ سَمِیپَ اُپَسْتھایَ لْواسْتَنامانَں تَسْیَ وَسْتْرَگرِہادھِیشَں سَہایَں کرِتْوا ہیرودا سارْدّھَں سَنْدھِں پْرارْتھَیَنْتَ یَتَسْتَسْیَ راجْنو دیشینَ تیشاں دیشِییاناں بھَرَنَمْ اَبھَوَتْں
23 And immediately, an Angel of the Lord struck him down, because he had not given honor to God. And having been consumed by worms, he expired.
اَتَح کُتْرَچِنْ نِرُپِتَدِنے ہیرودْ راجَکِییَں پَرِچّھَدَں پَرِدھایَ سِںہاسَنے سَمُپَوِشْیَ تانْ پْرَتِ کَتھامْ اُکْتَوانْ۔
24 But the word of the Lord was increasing and multiplying.
تَتو لوکا اُچَّیحکارَں پْرَتْیَوَدَنْ، ایشَ مَنُجَرَوو نَ ہِ، اِیشْوَرِییَرَوَح۔
25 Then Barnabas and Saul, having completed the ministry, returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
تَدا ہیرودْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ سَمّانَں ناکَروتْ؛ تَسْمادّھیتوح پَرَمیشْوَرَسْیَ دُوتو ہَٹھاتْ تَں پْراہَرَتْ تینَیوَ سَ کِیٹَیح کْشِینَح سَنْ پْرانانْ اَجَہاتْ۔ کِنْتْوِیشْوَرَسْیَ کَتھا دیشَں وْیاپْیَ پْرَبَلابھَوَتْ۔ تَتَح پَرَں بَرْنَبّاشَولَو یَسْیَ کَرْمَّنو بھارَں پْراپْنُتاں تابھْیاں تَسْمِنْ سَمْپادِتے سَتِ مارْکَنامْنا وِکھْیاتو یو یوہَنْ تَں سَنْگِنَں کرِتْوا یِرُوشالَمْنَگَراتْ پْرَتْیاگَتَو۔
