< 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.
ଆନ୍‍ମାନ୍‍ରେ ହେ ୱେଡ଼ାଲିଂ ହେରଦ୍‌ ରାଜା ମଣ୍ଡ୍‌ଲିନି କେତେକ୍‌ ଜାଣ୍‍ତିଂ ହର୍‌ବର୍‌ କିନି କାଜିଂ କେୟ୍‌ କିତାନ୍‌ ।
2 He commanded [a soldier] to cut off the head of [the apostle] James, the [older] brother of [the apostle] John.
ହେୱାନ୍‌ ଜହନ୍‌ତି ଟଣ୍ଡେନ୍‌ ଜାକୁବ୍‌ଙ୍ଗ୍ କାଣ୍ଡାତାଂ ଅସ୍ତାନ୍ ।
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.
ଆରେ ଜିହୁଦିର୍‌ ହେବେ ସତକ୍‍ ଆନାକା ହୁଡ଼୍‌ଜି ହେୱାନ୍‌ ପିତର୍‌ତିଂ ପା ଗେସ୍‌ତାର୍‌ । ହେ ୱେଡ଼ାଲିଂ ହଇୱି ରୁଟିନି ପାର୍ବୁ ମାଚାତ୍‌ ।
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].
ପାଚେ ହେରଦ୍‌ ତାଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ଆସ୍ତି ଜଇଲ୍‍ତ ଇଡ୍‍ତାନ୍, ଆରେ, ନିସ୍ତାର୍‌ ପାର୍ବୁ ପାଚେ ହେୱାନ୍‌ ତାଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ମାନାୟାର୍‌ ଲାଗେ ହପ୍‍ଚି ତାହିୱାଦେଂ କାଜିଂ ମାନ୍‌ କିଜ଼ି ୱିଜ଼ୁ କୁଦାନି ଚାରି ଜାଣ୍‌ ଲାକେ ମାଞ୍ଜି ଚାର୍‍ଗଟା ମେଲ୍ୟା କୁଦା ଲାଗେ ତାଙ୍ଗ୍‌ କାତେଂ ଇଞ୍ଜି ହେଲାୟ୍‌ କିତାନ୍‌ ।
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.
ଲାଗିଂ, ପିତର୍‌ ଜଇଲ୍‍ତ ଗେହ୍ୟା ଆଜ଼ି ମାଚାନ୍‌, ମତର୍‌ ତା କାଜିଂ ମଣ୍ଡ୍‌ଲି ହୁଦାଂ ରମାନ୍ତ ଇସ୍ୱର୍‌ତି ଲାଗେ ପାର୍ତାନା କିଜ଼ି ମାଚାର୍‌ ।
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.
ପାଚେ ହେରଦ୍‌ ଇମ୍‌ଣି ଦିନ୍‌ ପିତର୍‌ତିଂ ହପ୍‍ଚି ତାତେଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ହାଲ୍‌ଜି ମାଚାନ୍‌, ହେ ଆର୍କାତ୍‌ ନାଣାଲିଂ ରିଣ୍ଡି ହିକ୍‌ଡ଼ିଂତାଂ ଗାଚ୍ୟା ଆଜ଼ି ରି ମେଲ୍ୟାର୍ତି ବିତ୍ରେ ହୁଞ୍ଜି ମାଚାନ୍‌, ଆରେ ଜାଗ୍‌ୱାଡ଼ାର୍‌ ଦୁୱେର୍‌ ମୁମ୍‌ଦ ଜଇଲ୍ ରାକ୍ୟା କିଜ଼ି ମାଚାର୍‌ ।
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].
ଆରେ ହୁଡ଼ାଟ୍‌, ତ୍ରିପ୍‌କୁ ମାପ୍ରୁତି ରୱାନ୍‌ ଦୁତ୍‌ ଏକାତାତ୍‌, ଆରେ ବାକ୍ରା ଅଜଡ଼୍‌ ଆତାତ୍‌, ଆରେ ଦୁତ୍‌ ପିତର୍‌ ତିଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ନେଞ୍ଜେଡାକିତ ଇଡ଼୍‌ଜି ତାଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ନିକ୍‌ଚି ଇଚାନ୍‌, “ବେଗି ନିଙ୍ଗା ।” ହେବେ ତା କେଇଦାଂ ହିକ୍‌ଡ଼ିଂ କ୍ଡୁସ୍‌ଦି ହାଚିକ୍‌ ।
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!”
ଆରେ, ଦୁତ୍‌ ତାଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ଇଚାତ୍‌, “ମ୍ଡେଙ୍ଗାଙ୍ଗ୍‍ ଗାଚ୍ୟା ଆରି ପାଣ୍ଡାୟ୍‌ ତୁଜ଼ା ।” ପିତର୍‌ ହେ ଲାକେ କିତାନ୍‌! ଆରେ ଦୁତ୍‌ ତାଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ଇଚାନ୍‌, “ଗାଗାଡ଼୍‌ତ ହେନ୍ଦ୍ରା ତୁହିଜି ନା ପାଚେ ପାଚେ ୱା ।”
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.
ପିତର୍‌ ହସି ହେୱାନ୍ତି ପାଚେ ପାଚେ ହାଚାନ୍‌, ମାତର୍‌ ଦୁତ୍‌ତାଂ ଇନାକା କିୟାତାତ୍, ହେଦାଂ ଜେ ହାତ୍‌ପା, ହେୱାନ୍‌ ହେଦାଂ ବୁଜାୱାଦାଂ କେଚ୍‌କଣ୍‌ ହୁଡ଼୍‍ନାନା ଇଞ୍ଜି ବାବି କିଜ଼ି ମାଚାନ୍‌ ।
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.
ଏଚେକାଡ଼୍‌ଦ ହେୱାର୍‌ ପର୍ତୁମ୍‌ ଆରି ରିଣ୍ଡି ଜାଗ୍‍ୱାଡ଼ାର୍ କୁଦା ନାସି, ଇମ୍‌ଣି ଲୱା ଦୁୱାର୍ ହିିଜ଼ି ଗାଡ଼୍‌ଦ ହାଞ୍ଜେଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ଆନାତ୍‌, ହେଦାଂ ଲାଗେ ୱାତାର୍, ହେ କାଡ଼୍‌ଦ ହେ ଦୁୱେର୍‌ ଜାର୍‌ ମାନ୍ତିଙ୍ଗ୍ ହେୱାର୍‌ କାଜିଂ ମେଲା ଆଜ଼ି ହାଚାତ୍‌, ଆରେ ହେୱାର୍‌ ହସିହାଲ୍‍ଜି ର ହାକ୍‍ଡ଼ିତ ହାରିହାରା ପାତେକ୍‌ ହାଚାର୍‌, ଆରେ ଦାପ୍ରେ ହେ ଦୁତ୍‌ ତା ତାକେଣ୍ଡାଂ ମାୟା ଆଜ଼ି ହାଚାତ୍‌ ।
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].”

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].
ହେୱାନ୍‌ ଇ କାତା ଜାଗ୍ରତ୍‌ ଆଜ଼ି ମାର୍କ କୁକ୍‌ନି ଜହନ୍‌ତି ତେହି ମରିୟମ୍‌ ଇଞ୍ଜ ୱାତାନ୍; ହେ ବାହାତ ବେସି ରୁଣ୍ଡା ଆଜ଼ି ପାର୍ତାନା କିଜ଼ି ମାଚାର୍‌ ।
13 When Peter knocked at the outer entrance, a servant girl named Rhoda came to find out [who was outside the door].

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.
ହେୱାନ୍‌ ପିତର୍‌ତି କାଟ୍‌ ବେସି ୱାରି କାଜିଂ ଦୁୱେର୍‌ ଜେୱାଦାଂ ବିତ୍ରେ ହଞ୍ଚି ହାଲ୍‌ଜି, ଦୁୱେର୍‌ ଲାସେଙ୍ଗ୍ ପିତର୍‌ ନିଲ୍‌ତାନ୍ନା ଇଞ୍ଜି ଇଚାତ୍‌ ।
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].)”
ହେୱେକ୍‌ ହେଦେଲିଂ ଇଚିକ୍‌, “ଏନ୍‌ ବାଇରି । ମାତର୍‌ ହେୱେକ୍‌ ହେଦାଂ ସତ୍‌ ଇଞ୍ଜି ଆଟ୍‌ୱା ଲାକେ ଇଞ୍ଜେଙ୍ଗ୍‌ ଲାଗିତିକ୍‌ । ହେୱେକ୍‌ ଇଚିକ୍‌ ଇୱାନ୍‌ ହେୱାନ୍ତି ଦୁତ୍‌ ।”
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!

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.

18 The next morning the soldiers [who had been guarding] Peter became terribly distressed, [because they did not know] what had happened to him.

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].

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].

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].

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].
