Acts 12
1 And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
Tua hun pawl in Herod kumpipa in pawlpi sung mi pawlkhat te vawtsiat tu in man hi.
2 And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
Taciang John i suapuipa James sia namsau taw that hi.
3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
Hi thu in Judah mite lungkimsak hi, ci a mu ciang in, Peter zong mat thua sawm hi. Hi hun sia tol saw ngawl anluum poai hun sung a hihi.
4 And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
Taciang Peter a mat zawkciang in thongtaksak a, ngalkap sawm le luk in cing tu in ap hi; taciang paisanpoai zawkciang in mihon mai ah pusua tu in ngeal hi.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
Tua ahikom Peter sia thong sung ah koi nginge hi: ahihang pawlpi te in ama atu in Pathian tung ah tatsat ngawl in thungetsak uh hi.
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
Taciang Herod in a pusua tu ni zan ciang in, Peter sia ngalkap ni te ki laklaw ah thikkhol ni taw hen in mu hi: a cingte in kongkha maipan in thonginn cing nginge uh hi.
7 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.
En vun, Topa vantungmi sia a kung ah hongpai a, thonginn sung ah khuavak tang hi: Peter pang pan in beang a, thosak hi, taciang manlang in tho in, ci hi. Taciang in a khut pan thikkhau te tak hi.
8 And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
Vantungmi in ama kung ah, na kawngkhau kil in a, na peangdap bul in, ci hi. Taciang a son bang in Peter in vawt hi. Na puan sil in a, hong zui tan, ci hi.
9 And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
Peter pusuak in, vangtungmi zui hi; taciang vantungmi i vawt teng sia a tatak hi, ci a he bua hi; ahihang mangmu bang in ki ngaisun hi.
10 And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him.
Inn doi khat na le doi ni na a kan zawkciang in, khuapi sung paina thik kongpi dong theng hi; tua thik kongpi sia amathu in kihong a: amate a puasang ah pusuak uh hi, taciang lampi khat dungzui in a pai zawk uh ciang; vantungmi in Peter nusia hi.
11 And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Peter a khang hong ciim a, a tel thiang kik ciang, tu in a thiangtak in ka tel hi, Topa in Ama vantungmi sawl in, Herod khut le Judah mite lametna pan in hong suatak zo hi, ci hi.
12 And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
Peter in hi thu a ngaisut zawkciang in, Mark a kici John nu Mary te inn ah pai hi; tua mun ah mi tampi te thungen in ki khawm uh hi.
13 And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.
Taciang Peter in kongpi i kongkha a kik ciang in, Rhoda a kici naseam nu in ngai tu in pai hi.
14 And as soon as she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate.
Taciang Rhoda in Peter aw hi, ci a heak ciang in, lungdam lei ahikom kongpi hong ngawl in, innsung ah tai hi, taciang kongpi mai ah Peter ding hi, ci in son hi.
15 But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.
Amate in, mawmaw ni hi, ci uh hi. Ahihang, a tatak a hihi, ci valeng hi. Tua zawkciang in amate in, ama i vantungmi hi tu hi, ci uh hi.
16 But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
Ahihang Peter in king top lai hi: taciang amate in kongkha a hon uh ciang in, Peter mu uh a, lamdangsa mama uh hi.
17 But he beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison, and he said: Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place.
Ahihang Peter in a thim natu in a khut taw lak a, Topa in thong sung pan bangbang in pusua, ci thu amate tung ah pualak hi. Taciang James le suapui te kung ah pai tavun a hi thu te son tavun, ci hi. Taciang amate pusuak uh a mundang ah pai uh hi.
18 Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Khua a vak pociang Peter sia bangsuak ci thu taw kisai in ngalkap te sung ah buaina lianpi hong piang hi.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not; having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death; and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there.
Herod in Peter a zon ciang in, mu ngawl a, a cing te thusit in, thalup natu thu pia hi. Taciang Herod sia Judah ngam pan pusuak a Caesarea ah pai a, tua mun ah tam hi.
20 And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him, and having gained Blastus, who was the king’s chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him.
Herod sia Tyre le Sidon mite tung ah nasiatak in lungkim ngawl hi: ahihang amate thu kisi tak in Herod kung ah hongpai uh hi, taciang kumpipa lupna inndoi cingpa Blastus pawlvawt uh in, kilemna ngen uh hi; banghangziam cile amate ngam sia Herod ngam sung pan hongpai an le tui taw nungta a hi uh hi.
21 And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.
A ciangtan ni in Herod sia kumpi puan taw ki pua a, kumpi tokhum tung ah to in mipi te tung ah thu son hi.
22 And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Taciang mite in, hisia sia mihing aw hi ngawl hi, pathian aw hi, ci au uh hi.
23 And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.
Tasia pociang Topa vantungmi in Herod vel hi, banghangziam cile ama in Pathian minthanna pia ngawl hi: ama sia than in ne a, thi hi.
24 But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
Ahihang Pathian thu khang in ki zel hi.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
Barnabas le Saul sia amate nasep a man uh ciang in Jerusalem pan hong heakkik uh a, Mark a kici John hong tonpui uh hi.
