Acts 12
1 It was at that time that King Herod began to ill-treat some of the members of the church.
He wode Kawoy Heroodisi woosa keetha asaappe baggaa gooda doomis.
2 He had James, the brother of John, beheaded;
Yohaannisa ishaa Yayqooba mashshan wodhisis.
3 and, when he saw that the Jews were pleased with this, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (This was during the Festival of the unleavened bread.)
Hessi Ayhudeta ufayssidayssa be7idi, gujjidi Phexiroosakka oythis. Hessi haniday Faasika Baale bonchchiya gallasatana.
4 After seizing Peter, Herod put him in prison, and entrusted him to the keeping of four Guards of four soldiers each, intending, after the Passover, to bring him up before the people.
Phexiroosa oykkidi qachchis. Faasika bonchchiya gallasatappe guye deriya sinthe aathanaw qoppidi, oyddu oyddu wotaaddareti iya naagana mela tammanne usuppun wotaaddaretas aathi immis.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but meanwhile the prayers of the church were being earnestly offered to God on his behalf.
Hessa gisho, Phexiroosi qasho keethan naagettees. Shin woosa keetha asay iyaw minthidi Xoossaa woossosona.
6 Just when Herod was intending to bring him before the people, on that very night Peter was asleep between two soldiers, chained to them both, while there were sentries in front of the door, guarding the prison.
Heroodisi Phexiroosa asaa sinthe shiishanaappe kase qamma Phexiroosi nam77u baggara nam77u wotaaddaretara santhalaatan qashettidi entta giddon dhiskkis. Naageyssati qasho keethaa penggetan eqqidi naagoosona.
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. The angel struck Peter on the side, and roused him with the words, “Get up quickly.”
Akeekonna de7ishin Godaa kiitanchchoy qonccidis. Qasho keethan poo7oy poo7is. Kiitanchchoy Phexiroosa miyiya bochchi barkkisidi, “Elle dendda” yaagis. Iirakka santhalaatay iya kushiyappe wodhdhi aggis.
8 The chains dropped from his wrists, and then the angel said, “Put on your belt and sandals.” When Peter had done so, the angel added, “Throw your cloak around you and follow me.”
Kiitanchchoy iyaakko, “Ne ma7uwa ma77a, ne caammaaka aatha” yaagis. Phexiroosi hessada oothis; kiitanchchoy, “Ne laxana ma77ada tana kaalla” yaagis.
9 Peter followed him out, not knowing that what was happening under the angel’s guidance was real, but thinking that he was seeing a vision.
Phexiroosi qasho keethafe keyidi kiitanchchuwa kaallis. Iyaw qonccethi be7iyabaa daanisippe attin kiitanchchoy oothiyabay tuma daanibeenna.
10 Passing the first Guard, and then the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city, which opened to them of itself; and, when they had passed through that, and had walked along one street, all at once the angel left him.
Kiitanchchoynne Phexiroosi koyruwanne nam77antho wotaaddariya aadhdhidi katamaa efiya biraata penggiyako gakkidosona. Penggey enttaw barkka dooyetti aggis. Entti keyidi issi ogiyara bishin kiitanchchoy akeekonna Phexiroosappe shaaketti aggis.
11 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know beyond all doubt that the Lord has sent his angel, and has rescued me from Herod’s hands and from all that the Jewish people have been expecting.”
Phexiroosas wozani simmin, “Tana Goday ba kiitanchchuwa kiittidi, Heroodisa kusheppenne naagidi uttida Ayhude asa ubbaafe ashshidayssa ha77i tuma eras” yaagis.
12 As soon as he realized what had happened, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also known as Mark, where a number of people were gathered together, praying.
I hessa akeekida wode daro asay issife shiiqidi Xoossaa woossiya bessaa, Marqqoosa giya Yohaannisa aaye Mayraami soo bis.
13 On his knocking at the door in the gate, a maidservant, named Rhoda, came to answer it.
Yan karen eqqidi xeegis. Issi Rooda giya oosanchchiya penggiya dooyanaw yasu.
14 She recognized Peter’s voice, but in her joy left the gate unopened, and ran in, and told them that Peter was standing outside.
Rooda Phexiroosa qaala gididayssa erida wode ufayssan kumada kariya dooyenna guye woxxa bada, “Phexiroosi karen eqqis” yaagada asaas odasu.
15 “You are mad!” they exclaimed. But, when she persisted that it was so, they said, “It must be his spirit!”
Asay iikko, “Neeni gooyay!” yaagidosona. Rooda Phexiroosa gididayssa geeshshada odasu. Entti, “Hessi iya naagiya kiitanchchuwa” yaagidosona.
16 Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, and, when they opened the gate and saw him, they were amazed.
Shin Phexiroosi karen eqqidi xeegidi aggonna ixxin asay kariya dooyidi iya be7idi malaalettidosona.
17 Peter signed to them with his hand to be silent, and then told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison, adding, “Tell James and the others all this.” Then he left the house, and went away to another place.
Shin entti si7i gaana mela Phexiroosi ba kushiyan mallidi Goday qasho keethafe iya waati kessidaakko enttaw qonccisi odidi, “Hayssa Yayqoobasinne ammaniyaa asatas odite” gidi yaappe keyidi harasoo bis.
18 In the morning there was a great stir among the soldiers – what could have become of Peter!
Sa7ay wonttiya wode, “Phexiroosi aw bide” gidi wotaaddareti woli giddon daro kaccidosona.
19 And, when Herod had made further search for him and failed to find him, he closely questioned the Guard, and ordered them away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to stay at Caesarea.
Heroodisi Phexiroosa koyisin, I dhayida wode naageyssata qoridi, entta wodhana mela kiittis. Hessafe guye, Heroodisi Yihudappe Qisaariya wodhdhidi yan guutha wode uttis.
20 It happened that Herod was deeply offended with the people of Tyre and Sidon, but they went in a body to him, and, having succeeded in winning over Blastus, the Chamberlain, they begged Herod for a reconciliation, because their country was dependent on the king’s for its food supply.
Heroodisi Xiiroosa asa bollanne Sidoona asaa bolla daro hanqettis. Entta biittay kathi Heroodisa biittaafe demmiya gisho entti issife gididi iya moorinnaa Bilasxoosa banttaw cima oothidi giiganaw Heroodisakko bidosona.
21 On an appointed day Herod, wearing his state robes, seated himself on his throne, and delivered an oration.
Heroodisi sunthida gallasan ba kawotethaa afilaa ma7idi, araata bolla uttidi asaas odis.
22 The people kept shouting, “It is the voice of God, and not of a person!”
Asay, “Hessi Xoossaa qaala, asa qaala gidenna” yaagidi waassidosona.
23 Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was attacked with worms, and died.
Heroodisi Xoossaa bonchchiboona gisho iirakka Godaa kiitanchchoy iya dechchin guxunen meetettidi hayqqis.
24 Meanwhile the Lord’s message kept extending, and spreading far and wide.
Shin Xoossaa qaalay diccishenne dalggishe bees.
25 When Barnabas and Saul had carried out their mission, they returned to Jerusalem, and took with them John, who was also known as Mark.
Barnnabaasinne Saa7oli bantta oosuwa polidi Marqqoosa giya Yohaannisa banttara ekkidi Yerusalaameppe simmidosona.
