Acts 12
1 And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
Pa taq ri qꞌij riꞌ, ri taqanel Herodes Agripa xuchapleꞌj ubꞌanik kꞌax chike jujun kojonelabꞌ rech ri komontyox.
2 And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
Xtaqan chukamisaxik ri Jacobo (rachalal ri Juan) chi sakꞌibꞌal.
3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
Are xril ri Herodes chi xqaj chkiwach ri winaq aꞌj Israel ri xubꞌano, xtaqan chuchapik ri Pedro. (Wa we riꞌ xkꞌulmataj pa ri nimaqꞌij rech Pascua).
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.
Xukoj pa cheꞌ xuꞌtaq e kajibꞌ wok aꞌj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit chuchajixik, kajibꞌ achyabꞌ pa jujun wok. Ri uchomanik are chi we xikꞌow ri nimaqꞌij Pascua kuqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ, chikiwach konojel ri winaq.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
Ri komontyox xkibꞌan chꞌawem rukꞌ chuqꞌabꞌ puꞌwiꞌ ri Pedro are kꞌo pa cheꞌ.
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.
Jun aqꞌabꞌ karaj kuriq ri qꞌij kaqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ ri Pedro, ri Pedro tajin kawar chikixoꞌl kebꞌ aꞌj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, ri nikꞌaj aꞌj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit chik kichajim ri uchiꞌ ja rech ri cheꞌ.
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.
Xaq kꞌa teꞌ xtunan jun qꞌaqꞌ pa ri cheꞌ, jun ángel rech ri Ajawxel xtakꞌiꞌ choch ri Pedro, ko xuchap pa ri ukꞌalkꞌaꞌx rech kakꞌastajik, kꞌa te riꞌ xbꞌix che: Chakowij chatwaꞌjiloq. Ri chꞌichꞌ ri kojtal chujatꞌixik xtzaq pa ri ulew.
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.
Ri ángel xubꞌij che: Chakojo ri awatzꞌyaq xuqujeꞌ ri axajabꞌ. Ri Pedro xunimaj ri xbꞌix che, kꞌa te riꞌ ri ángel xubꞌij che: Chakojo ri aqꞌuꞌ, chinatereneꞌj.
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.
Ri Pedro xel loq pa ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kꞌo wi, xutereneꞌj ri ángel, puꞌkꞌuꞌx chi xaq tajin kachikꞌik, man xuchꞌobꞌ taj chi qas tzij ri tajin kakꞌulmatajik.
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.
Xikꞌow loq chkiwach ri nabꞌe taq chajinelabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ chkiwach ri ukabꞌ. Xoꞌpan chuchiꞌ ri chꞌichꞌ uchiꞌ ja ri kel bꞌik pa ri tinimit, are xoꞌpan chilaꞌ, ri uchiꞌ ja xjaqajobꞌ utukel chikiwach. Xeꞌl bꞌik, xkichapleꞌj bꞌinem pa ri bꞌe, xaq kꞌa teꞌ xya kan utukel ri Pedro rumal ri ángel.
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.
Are xtzaratzobꞌ ri Pedro, xubꞌij: Qas tzij bꞌa ri Ajawxel xutaq loq ri ángel chinukolik cho ri Herodes xuqujeꞌ che ri kꞌax ri kichomam ri winaq aꞌj Israel kakibꞌan chwe.
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.
Kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌ cho rachoch ri María, ri unan ri Juan Marcos, chilaꞌ kimulim wi kibꞌ e kꞌi kojonelabꞌ chubꞌanik chꞌawem.
13 And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.
Xukꞌorokꞌa ri uchiꞌ ja, xel kꞌu loq jun ali patanijel ubꞌiꞌ Rode.
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.
Are xuta ri uchꞌabꞌal ri Pedro, sibꞌalaj xkiꞌkotik, man xujaq ta kꞌu ri uchiꞌ ja xane nabꞌe xuꞌbꞌij chike konojel ri e kꞌo pa ri ja: Kꞌo ri Pedro chuchiꞌ le ja.
15 But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.
Xaq at kon riꞌ, wine are uángel, xecha che. Ri ali kꞌut xubꞌij chi qas are wi Pedro.
16 But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
Ri Pedro kꞌut xaq je xukꞌorokꞌa ri uchiꞌ ja. Kꞌamaꞌtam xkijaqo, are xkilo xemayijanik.
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.
Pa memal tzij xubꞌij chike chi man kechꞌaw ta na, xutzijoj chike jas xubꞌan ri Ajawxel chi resaxik loq pa ri cheꞌ. Chitzijoj che ri Jacobo xuqujeꞌ chike konojel ri alaxik ri xkꞌulmatajik, xcha chike. Kꞌa te riꞌ xeꞌ chi pa jun kꞌolibꞌal chik.
18 Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Are xsaqirik, ri aꞌj ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil taq tinimit xetontiꞌrik rumal ri xkꞌulmataj rukꞌ ri Pedro.
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.
Ri Herodes Agripa xukꞌot kichiꞌ ri e chajinelabꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xtaqan che kikamisaxik. Ri Herodes are xbꞌantaj we riꞌ rumal xeꞌkꞌol pa Cesarea jun janipa qꞌij.
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.
Sibꞌalaj xyojtaj ri Herodes kukꞌ ri winaq rech ri tinimit Tiro xuqujeꞌ Sidón. Ri winaq aꞌj chilaꞌ xeꞌkitaq bꞌik taqoꞌn xeꞌkibꞌij che ri Herodes chi maj chꞌoꞌj kakaj kakibꞌan rukꞌ rumal cher ketaꞌm chi chilaꞌ kape wi ri kakitijo. Xraj kꞌu ri Blasto ri rajchak ri Herodes xchꞌaw pa kiwiꞌ.
21 And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.
Jun qꞌijal kꞌut ri Herodes xuchaꞌ jun qꞌij katzijon kukꞌ. Are xuriq ri qꞌij ri Herodes, xukoj ri ratzꞌyaq rech nim taqanel, xtꞌuyiꞌ pa ri utem xtzijon kukꞌ.
22 And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Ri winaq xkipaqꞌapa ri kiqꞌabꞌ, xkiraq kichiꞌ xkibꞌij: ¡Man uchꞌabꞌal ta achi, ri tajin kaqatoꞌ uchꞌabꞌal jun dios!
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.
Aninaq xpe jun ángel rech ri Dios, xukoj jun yabꞌil che, rumal cher xukꞌamawaꞌj ri qꞌijilaꞌnik ri xkiya ri winaq che, man xuya ta che ri Dios. Xaq jeriꞌ xkamik, iꞌxjut xetijowik.
24 But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
Are kꞌu ri utzij ri Dios xjabꞌun pa ronojel tinimit, sibꞌalaj e kꞌi xekojonik.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
Ri Bernabé rachiꞌl ri Saulo are xetoꞌtaj che ri kitaqkil pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, xetzalij pa ri tinimit Antioquía, xkikꞌam bꞌik ri Juan Marcos.
