Acts 12
1 Now about that time, Herod the king stretched out his hands to oppress some of the church.
tasmin samaye herodrājo maṇḍalyāḥ kiyajjanebhyo duḥkhaṁ dātuṁ prārabhat|
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
viśeṣato yohanaḥ sodaraṁ yākūbaṁ karavālāghāten hatavān|
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jewish people, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
tasmād yihūdīyāḥ santuṣṭā abhavan iti vijñāya sa pitaramapi dharttuṁ gatavān|
4 When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
tadā kiṇvaśūnyapūpotsavasamaya upātiṣṭat; ata utsave gate sati lokānāṁ samakṣaṁ taṁ bahirāneyyāmīti manasi sthirīkṛtya sa taṁ dhārayitvā rakṣṇārtham yeṣām ekaikasaṁghe catvāro janāḥ santi teṣāṁ caturṇāṁ rakṣakasaṁghānāṁ samīpe taṁ samarpya kārāyāṁ sthāpitavān|
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the church to God for him.
kintuṁ pitarasya kārāsthitikāraṇāt maṇḍalyā lokā aviśrāmam īśvarasya samīpe prārthayanta|
6 The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
anantaraṁ herodi taṁ bahirānāyituṁ udyate sati tasyāṁ rātrau pitaro rakṣakadvayamadhyasthāne śṛṅkhaladvayena baddhvaḥ san nidrita āsīt, dauvārikāśca kārāyāḥ sammukhe tiṣṭhanato dvāram arakṣiṣuḥ|
7 And look, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly." His chains fell off from his hands.
etasmin samaye parameśvarasya dūte samupasthite kārā dīptimatī jātā; tataḥ sa dūtaḥ pitarasya kukṣāvāvātaṁ kṛtvā taṁ jāgarayitvā bhāṣitavān tūrṇamuttiṣṭha; tatastasya hastasthaśṛṅkhaladvayaṁ galat patitaṁ|
8 The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak, and follow me."
sa dūtastamavadat, baddhakaṭiḥ san pādayoḥ pāduke arpaya; tena tathā kṛte sati dūtastam uktavān gātrīyavastraṁ gātre nidhāya mama paścād ehi|
9 And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
tataḥ pitarastasya paścād vrajana bahiragacchat, kintu dūtena karmmaitat kṛtamiti satyamajñātvā svapnadarśanaṁ jñātavān|
10 When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
itthaṁ tau prathamāṁ dvitīyāñca kārāṁ laṅghitvā yena lauhanirmmitadvāreṇa nagaraṁ gamyate tatsamīpaṁ prāpnutāṁ; tatastasya kavāṭaṁ svayaṁ muktamabhavat tatastau tatsthānād bahi rbhūtvā mārgaikasya sīmāṁ yāvad gatau; tato'kasmāt sa dūtaḥ pitaraṁ tyaktavān|
11 When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
tadā sa cetanāṁ prāpya kathitavān nijadūtaṁ prahitya parameśvaro herodo hastād yihūdīyalokānāṁ sarvvāśāyāśca māṁ samuddhṛtavān ityahaṁ niścayaṁ jñātavān|
12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
sa vivicya mārkanāmrā vikhyātasya yohano mātu rmariyamo yasmin gṛhe bahavaḥ sambhūya prārthayanta tanniveśanaṁ gataḥ|
13 And when Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
pitareṇa bahirdvāra āhate sati rodānāmā bālikā draṣṭuṁ gatā|
14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
tataḥ pitarasya svaraṁ śruvā sā harṣayuktā satī dvāraṁ na mocayitvā pitaro dvāre tiṣṭhatīti vārttāṁ vaktum abhyantaraṁ dhāvitvā gatavatī|
15 They said to her, "You are crazy." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."
te prāvocan tvamunmattā jātāsi kintu sā muhurmuhuruktavatī satyamevaitat|
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
tadā te kathitavantastarhi tasya dūto bhavet|
17 But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell these things to James, and to the brothers." Then he departed, and went to another place.
pitaro dvāramāhatavān etasminnantare dvāraṁ mocayitvā pitaraṁ dṛṣṭvā vismayaṁ prāptāḥ|
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
tataḥ pitaro niḥśabdaṁ sthātuṁ tān prati hastena saṅketaṁ kṛtvā parameśvaro yena prakāreṇa taṁ kārāyā uddhṛtyānītavān tasya vṛttāntaṁ tānajñāpayat, yūyaṁ gatvā yākubaṁ bhrātṛgaṇañca vārttāmetāṁ vadatetyuktā sthānāntaraṁ prasthitavān|
19 When Herod had sought for him, and did not find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
prabhāte sati pitaraḥ kva gata ityatra rakṣakāṇāṁ madhye mahān kalaho jātaḥ|
20 Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
herod bahu mṛgayitvā tasyoddeśe na prāpte sati rakṣakān saṁpṛcchya teṣāṁ prāṇān hantum ādiṣṭavān|
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, and sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
paścāt sa yihūdīyapradeśāt kaisariyānagaraṁ gatvā tatrāvātiṣṭhat|
22 But the crowd shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man."
sorasīdonadeśayo rlokebhyo herodi yuyutsau sati te sarvva ekamantraṇāḥ santastasya samīpa upasthāya lvāstanāmānaṁ tasya vastragṛhādhīśaṁ sahāyaṁ kṛtvā herodā sārddhaṁ sandhiṁ prārthayanta yatastasya rājño deśena teṣāṁ deśīyānāṁ bharaṇam abhavatṁ
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
ataḥ kutracin nirupitadine herod rājakīyaṁ paricchadaṁ paridhāya siṁhāsane samupaviśya tān prati kathām uktavān|
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
tato lokā uccaiḥkāraṁ pratyavadan, eṣa manujaravo na hi, īśvarīyaravaḥ|
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
tadā herod īśvarasya sammānaṁ nākarot; tasmāddhetoḥ parameśvarasya dūto haṭhāt taṁ prāharat tenaiva sa kīṭaiḥ kṣīṇaḥ san prāṇān ajahāt| kintvīśvarasya kathā deśaṁ vyāpya prabalābhavat| tataḥ paraṁ barṇabbāśaulau yasya karmmaṇo bhāraṁ prāpnutāṁ tābhyāṁ tasmin sampādite sati mārkanāmnā vikhyāto yo yohan taṁ saṅginaṁ kṛtvā yirūśālamnagarāt pratyāgatau|
