Acts 12
1 It was about this time that King Herod [Agrippa sent soldiers] [MTY] who seized [and put in prison] some of the [leaders] of the congregation [in Jerusalem. He did that] because he wanted to make the believers suffer.
Etu homoi te raja Herod pora girja manu kunba khan ke dhurise aru bisi digdar dise.
2 He commanded [a soldier] to cut off the head of [the apostle] James, the [older] brother of [the apostle] John.
Aru tai John laga bhai James ke talwar pora morai dise.
3 When Herod realized that he had pleased the [leaders of the] Jewish people by [doing that], he commanded [soldiers] to arrest Peter [in order to kill him], too. This happened during the festival [when the Jewish people ate] bread [that] did not have yeast.
Aru jitia Yehudi cholawta khan etu karone bisi khushi pa-a janise, tai Peter ke bhi dhori bole jaise. Aru etu homoi to khomir nadhala laga roti kha laga din khan thakise.
4 After [they] seized Peter, they put him in prison. They arranged for four groups of soldiers to guard Peter. Each [group] had four soldiers. [Every three hours a different group began to guard him while the others rested]. Herod wanted to bring Peter out [of prison and judge him] in front of the [Jewish] people after the Passover [Festival was finished. He then planned to command soldiers to execute Peter].
Jitia tai Peter ke dhori loise, taike bondhi ghor te hali dise, aru charta sipahi khan ke tai uporte sabole rakhidise; tai Peter ke Nistar Purbb dinte manu khan usorte ulaikene anibole bhabi thakise.
5 So [for several days] Peter was kept {they kept Peter} in prison. But the [other believers] in the congregation at [Jerusalem] were praying earnestly to God [that he would help] Peter.
Etu homoi te, Peter ke bondhi ghor te rakhi thakise, kintu girja manu khan mon pora tai nimite hodai Isor logot prathana kori thakise.
6 The night [before] Herod planned to bring Peter out [from prison to have him executed] publicly, Peter was sleeping [in the prison] between two soldiers, with two chains binding his arms [to the arms of the soldiers. Two other] soldiers were guarding the prison doors.
Aru Peter ke Herod pora bisar nakora ek rati age te, Peter to duijon sipahi majote ghumai thakise, loha laga rusi duita pora bandi kene thakise, aru dorja usorte duijon sipahi taike rukhi thakise.
7 Suddenly an angel [from] the Lord [God] stood [beside Peter], and a [bright] light shone in his cell. The angel poked Peter in the side and woke him up and said, “Get up quickly!” [While Peter was getting up], the chains fell off from his wrists. [However, the soldiers were not aware of what was happening].
Titia, achanak pora Probhu laga sorgodoth tai usorte ahise, aru bondhi ghor bhitor te ujala pora bhorta hoi jaise. Tai Peter laga kona te marise, aru taike uthaikene koise, “Joldi uthibi,” aru taike bandhi kene rakha luha rusi giri jaise.
8 Then the angel said to Peter, “Put on your clothes and sandals!” So Peter did. Then the angel said to him, “Fasten your belt/girdle [around you(sg)] and put on your sandals!” So Peter did that. Then the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me!”
Titia sorgodoth taike koise, “Kapra lagabi aru juta to lagai lobi.” Peter eneka korise. Sorgodoth taike koise, “Bahar laga ki kapra ase etu lagabi aru moi laga piche ahibi.”
9 So, [after Peter put on his cloak and sandals], he followed [the angel] out [of the prison cell], but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. He thought [that he] was seeing a vision.
Titia Peter sorgodoth laga pichete jaise. Kintu tai jana nai etu sob to hosa pora sorgodoth he kori ase. Tai darshan he dikhi ase bhabise.
10 Peter and the angel walked by the soldiers who were guarding the two doors, [but the soldiers did not see them. Then] they came to the iron gate that [led] out into the city. The gate opened by itself, and Peter and the angel walked out [of the prison]. After they had walked [a ways] along one street, the angel suddenly disappeared.
Jitia taikhan poila thaka duijon sipahi aru bahar te thaka duijon sipahi ke paar korise, taikhan loha laga ekta dorja usorte punchise juntu khuli kene taikhan sheher te jabo paribo; aru etu nijor pora khuli jaise. Titia taikhan ulaikene rasta nichete jaise, aru sorgodoth taike chari kene jai jaise.
11 Then Peter [finally] realized that [what had happened to him was not a vision, but] it had really happened. So he said [to himself], “Now I really know that the Lord [God] sent an angel [to help me]. He rescued me from what Herod planned to do [MTY] [to me], and [also] from all the things that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] expected [that Herod would do to me].”
Aru jitia Peter etu sob hosa pora hoise koi kene jani loise, tai nijorke koise, “Etiya moi hosa pora jani loise Probhu moike Herod laga hath pora bachai lobole nimite Tai laga sorgodoth ke pathai dise, aru Yehudi manu khan ki bhabona kori thakise etu pora moike ulaikene anise.”
12 When Peter realized [that God had rescued him], he went to Mary’s house. She was the mother of John whose other name was Mark. Many [believers] had assembled there, and they were praying [that God would help Peter somehow].
Jitia tai etu buji jaise, tai John, kunke Mark bhi mate tai laga ama Mary laga ghor te jaise, ta te bisi manu khan joma kori kene prathana kori thakise.
13 When Peter knocked at the outer entrance, a servant girl named Rhoda came to find out [who was outside the door].
Aru jitia Peter dorjate marikena awaj dise, ekjon chukri noukar Rhoda koi kene dorja khuli bole ahise.
14 [When Peter answered her], she recognized his voice, but she was so happy [and excited] that she did not open the door! Instead, she ran back [into the house]. She [excitedly] announced [to the other believers] that Peter was standing outside the door.
Jitia tai Peter laga awaj janise, khushi pora dorja khuli bole pahorise; aru tai, polaikene kamra te ahise; aru taikhan ke Peter dorjate khara kori kene ase koise.
15 But [one of] them said to her, “You [(sg)] are crazy!” But she continued saying that it was [really true. Then] they repeatedly said, “[No], [it cannot be Peter]. It is [probably] the angel [who was guarding] him [who has come] (OR, It is the angel [who has guarded/protected] him, [and he has come to tell us that] Peter [has died].)”
Titia taikhan pora koise, “Tumi pagli hoise.” Kintu tai Peter ahise koi kene jor pora koi dise. Titia taikhan koise, “Etu tai laga sorgodoth hobo.”
16 But Peter continued knocking [on the door. So when someone finally] opened the door, they saw that it was Peter, and they were completely amazed!
Kintu Peter to dorjate mari thakise, aru jitia taikhan dorja khuli se, taikhan taike dikhi kene bisi asurit hoise.
17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet. Then he told them exactly how the Lord [God] had led him out of the prison. He [also] said, “Tell James, the [leader] of our [congregation], and our [other] fellow believers what has happened.” Then [Peter left and] went away to another town.
Kintu tai taikhan ke hath pora chup thaki bole dikhai dise, aru kineka kori kene Probhu pora taike bondhi ghor pora ulai dise etu taikhan ke koise, “Jai kene etu kotha James aru bhai khan ke kobi.” Aru ta te pora tai dusra jagate jai jaise.
18 The next morning the soldiers [who had been guarding] Peter became terribly distressed, [because they did not know] what had happened to him.
Aru jitia din hoise, sipahi khan Peter logote ki hoise eku bhi jana nai.
19 Then Herod [heard about it]. So he [commanded soldiers] to search for Peter, but they did not find him. Then he questioned the soldiers [who had been guarding Peter], and asked them, “[How did Peter get away when you were there guarding him?]” [But they could not explain it. So] he commanded them to be led away [to be executed] {[other soldiers] to lead them away [to execute them]}. [Afterwards], Herod went from Judea [province] down to Caesarea, where he stayed [for some time].
Aru jitia Herod Peter ke bisari kene panai, tai sipahi khan ke hudise aru taikhan ke morai dibole hukum dise. Etu pichete tai Judea pora jai kene Caesarea te thakise.
20 King Herod had been furiously angry with the people [who lived] in Tyre and Sidon [cities. Then] one day some men [who represented them] came unitedly [to Caesarea in order to meet with] Herod. They persuaded Blastus, who was one of Herod’s important officials, to tell [Herod] that the people [in their cities] wanted to make peace [with him. They wanted to be able to trade with the people that Herod ruled], because they needed to buy food from those regions. [Herod had commanded the people in the areas he ruled to stop selling food to the people in those cities].
Aru Herod to Tyre aru Sidon laga manu khan uporte bisi khong thakise. Etu karone taikhan joma hoi kene eke logote taike lok kori bole ahise. Taikhan Blastus koi kene Raja laga kaam kora ekjon ke kotha korise aru taikhan ke modot kori bole phuslai loise. Titia taikhan shanti thaki bole nimite mangise, kelemane taikhan laga desh te kha luwa kiman jai, sob etu raja laga desh pora he jai thakise.
21 On the day that Herod had planned to [meet with them], he put on (very expensive clothes that showed that he was king/his royal robes). Then he sat on his (throne/chair from which he ruled [people]), and [formally] addressed [all] the people [who had gathered there].
Kotha kori kene rakha dinte, Herod raja laga kapra lagai kene tai nijorke taiyar korise. Tai laga singhason te bohi kene taikhan ke kotha korise.
22 Those who [were listening to him] shouted repeatedly, “[This man who] is speaking is a god, not a man!”
Kintu manu khan hala kori koise, “Etu Isor laga awaj ase, manu laga nohoi!”
23 So, because Herod [let the people praise him] instead of praising God, immediately an angel [from] the Lord [God] caused Herod to become seriously ill. [Many] worms ate his intestines, and [soon] he died [very painfully].
Titia etu homoi te Probhu laga sorgodoth joldi taike mari dise, kelemane tai Isor ke mohima diya nai; aru puka pora taike khai kene morai dise.
24 [The believers] continued telling God’s message to people in many places, and ([the number of people who believed in Jesus] was continually increasing/there were continually more and more people who were believing in Jesus).
Aru Isor laga kotha bisi-bisi hoi jaise.
25 When Barnabas and Saul finished [delivering the money to help the Jewish believers in Judea], they left Jerusalem and returned [to Antioch, in Syria province]. They took John, whose other name was Mark, with them.
Aru jitia Barnabas aru Saul taikhan laga kaam pura kori loise, taikhan Jerusalem te jaise, aru John kunke Mark bhi mate taike bhi loi anise.
