Acts 12
1 Now, at about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands to ill- treat certain members of the church;
E kindeno ruoth Herode nomako jo-Kristo moko, kendo nochano mar negogi.
2 and beheaded James, the brother of John, with the sword.
Ne ogolo chik mi oneg Jakobo owad gi Johana gi ligangla.
3 And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. (This was during the days of unleavened bread.)
Kane oneno ka timneno nomoro jo-Yahudi, nodhi nyime momako Petro bende. Mano notimore e ndalo Sap Makati ma ok oketie Thowi.
4 He had him arrested and thrown in prison, and put under guard of sixteen soldiers. He intended, after the Passover, to bring him forth to the people.
Kane osemake, nokete e od twech, kendo noketo migepe angʼwen mag askeche, ma moro ka moro otingʼo jorit angʼwen, mondo orite. Herode ne chano mondo ogole oko bangʼ Pasaka mondo oyale e nyim oganda.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer to God was made by the church for him.
Kuom mano, Petro nokan e od twech, to kanisa to ne lamone Nyasaye ahinya.
6 Now when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that very night, while Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison,
Otieno motelone chiengʼ mane Herode chano goloe Petro oko mondo oyale, negikete onindo e kind askeche ariyo, ka otweye gi nyoroche ariyo, kendo ka askeche mamoko bende rite kochungʼ e dhood twech.
7 suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side, he woke him saying, "Rise up quickly." At once the chains dropped from his hands.
Apoya nono malaika mar Ruoth nofwenyore, mi ler norieny ei od twech. Noyuko Petro mochiewe kowacho niya, “Aa malo piyo.” Gikanyono nyoroche mane otwego Petro nolwar piny.
8 "Gird yourself," said the angel, "and put on your sandals." He did so. Then he said unto him, "Throw your cloak about you, and follow me."
Malaika nomedo wachone niya, “Rwak lepi gi wuocheni.” Petro notimo kamano. Malaika nochako okone niya, “Koro rwak kodi mondo iluwa!”
9 So Peter went out, following him, but did not realize that what the angel was doing was real, but supposed that he was seeing a vision.
Petro noluwo bangʼe kowuok e od twech, to kata kamano pache ne pok odwogo mondo ofwenyne ni gima malaika ne timono en adier, to noparo mana ni oleko.
10 And when they had passed the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that led to the city. This opened to them of its own accord; and they went out passed on through one street; and suddenly the angel left him.
Ne gikalo jorit mokwongo, gi mar ariyo mi gichopo e ranga chuma mane iwuokgo e od twech kidonjo e dala maduongʼ. Rangano noyawrenigi kende mine gikadho. Kane gisewuotho mabor mochwalore gi od twech, to nopo ka malaika oseweye.
11 Peter, coming to himself, said, "Now I know for a certainty that the Lord has sent his angel and released me from the hand of Herod, and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating."
Bangʼe pach Petro noduogo mi owacho niya, “Koro angʼeyo maonge kiawa ni Ruoth nooro malaikane mi oresa e twech Herode, kendo osemiyo atony e gimoro amora marach ma jo-Yahudi ne chano timona.”
12 So, after he had thought things over, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John, surnamed Mark, where a large number of people were assembled, praying.
Kane osengʼeyo gima notimorene, nodhi nyaka od Maria min Johana, ma niluongo bende ni Mariko, kendo kanyo ji nochokore mangʼeny ka gilamo Nyasaye.
13 When he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid servant named Rhoda came to answer.
Kane Petro oduongʼo dhoot ma oko, to nyako moro ma jatich miluongo ni Roda nobiro mondo oyawne.
14 And when she recognized Peter’s voice, for very joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
To ka nochamo dwond Petro, nodoko mamor ahinya mi noringo odok ei ot kapok oyawone. Nonyiso jogo mane ni e ot kopongʼ gimor niya, “Petro ni e dhoot!”
15 "You are mad," they said. But she confidently insisted that it was so. "It is his angel," they said.
To jogo nokwere kawacho niya, “Wiyi rach!” Ka nyakono nomedo ramo ni Petro ne ni e dhoot adier, negiwachone niya, “Mano nyaka bedi mana malaikane!”
16 Meanwhile Peter continued to knock, until at last they opened the door, and were amazed to see that it was really he.
To Petro nomedo dwongʼo dhoot, kendo kane giyawo dhoot mi ginene, to dhogi nomoko.
17 He motioned to them to keep quiet, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell all this to James," he said, "and to the brothers," and away he went to another place.
Petro notingʼo lwete malo mondo gilingʼ, eka nonyisogi yo mane Ruoth ogolego e od twech. Nowachonegi niya, “Nyisuru Jakobo gi jowete mamoko gima nosetimore.” Bangʼe noa kanyo modhi kamachielo.
18 When morning came there was no small stir among the soldiers as to what could possibly have become of Peter.
Kinyne gokinyi kihondko maduongʼ nomako jolweny mane oket mondo orite e od twech. Negipenjore niya, “Angʼo ma dibed nosetimore ni Petro?”
19 Then Herod had search made for him, and could not find him. After sharply questioning the guards, he ordered them off to execution. He then went down from Judea to Caesarea, where he stayed for some time.
Herode nogolo chik mondo omany Petro, to ne ok ginyal yude. Kuom mano, nonono jorit od twech mondo ginyise kuma Petro odhiye, eka nogolo chik mondo oneg joritogi. Kindeno Herode nodar Judea modhi odak Kaisaria kuom ndalo manok.
20 Now Herod was violently displeased with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him, with one accord, and after conciliating Blastus, the royal chamberlain, they begged for peace because their country depended upon the king’s country for its food supply.
Noyudo en-gi mirima kod jo-Turo gi jo-Sidon. Kuom mano jo-Turo kod jo-Sidon ne joriwore mi giloso thuolo mar romo gi Herode. Ne gitudore gi Blasto, mane en jatich ruoth mogeno, eka negiyudo yo mar loso kwe gi ruoth, nikech chiembgi ne wuok e piny Herode.
21 So on the appointed day, Herod put on his royal robes, and after taking his seat upon the throne, began to harangue them.
Odiechiengʼ mane onego giromieno, Herode ne orwako lepe mag ruoth mi obet e kome mar loch mi ochako wuoyo gi ji.
22 "The voice of a god, and not of a man," the people kept shouting.
To jogo nogoyo koko kawacho niya, “Mano dwond Nyasaye, ok en dwond dhano!”
23 Instantly an angel of the Lord smote him, because he had not given God the glory, and being eaten up by worms, he died.
Gikanyono malaika mar Ruoth nogoyo Herode piny, nikech ne ok omiyo Nyasaye duongʼ kendo kute nochamo ringre, mi otho.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied;
Wach Nyasaye nomedo dhi nyime kendo nomedo landore.
25 and after discharging their mission, Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, surnamed Mark.
Kane Barnaba gi Saulo nosetieko tijgi, negidwogo ka gia Jerusalem ka gin gi Johana ma bende iluongo ni Mariko.
