Acts 12
1 Now about that time, Herod the king stretched forth [his] hands to afflict certain of the church.
Zizan, wieiweire ni nton wa Herod, kikle chu'a a saa wo nitu biwa ba bi ikklissiya ba, nitu du vu ba tiiya.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
A wuu Yakubu vayi Yohana ni Takobi.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. Then were the days of unleavened bread.
Hu gon wa ato ndi kima a biya ni Yahudawa ba, a hon hi ka vu Bitrus ngame. Kima a he ni ba vi wu bredi wandi ba klan hamma ni du sa nda en na.
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put [him] in prison, and delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.
Niwa a vuulo'a, a njiwu ka tro ni kotro, ni wo sojoji nklan nza du ba mla ya; a ta son ndji wa ani njiwu rjuye nu ndji hu kle igan-u nigra.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him.
Toki, ba tro Bitrus zi ni tra tro, ama biwa ba bi ekklisiya ba kri gbangban ni bre Irji ni tu ma.
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
Nichu wa mble ka nhran hu'a, Herod anata chu rjuye duba bla tre nituma, Bitrus a sia kruna ni tsutsu sojoji harhi, nimi lo ni sraka harhi, ni bi gben ni nyu nkontra ni duba mla ta ya nkontra'a.
7 And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon [him], and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from [his] hands.
Mle, Maleka Bachi a lu kri tanwrhu, ikpan lu ri nda kri bwu tra wu ko tro'a, ndu ku wrhu Bitrus ni kosan nda ta'u sh'me ni nna'a nda hlawu ndi, “Lukri gbagbla,” u sraka'a ba ju kuhle rjini woma.
8 And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and so he did. And he saith to him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
Maleka a hlawu ndi, “Lo kpame ni vu lagban wu zame sru.” Bitrus a tie toki. Maleka a hlawu ndi “Vu nklon me wu kora'a sru ni hume.”
9 And he went out, and followed him, and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
Niki, Bitrus a hu Maleka zren rju. Ana to ndi kpe wa Maleka a tia a hi njanji na. A tre ndi a si toh ni raa mu.
10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
Niwa ba zren ka vu y'ba bi gben bi mumla, mba wu ha, nda ye ni kikle nkon karfe wu ri ni gbu'a, a bwu kikima ni bawu. Ba rju grji hu nkon wu mi gbu'a, u Maleka a kri kaado.
11 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know with certainty, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and [from] all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Niwa mren Bitrus a k'ma ye niwu, a tre ndi, “Zizan, mi mla toh wu njanji ndi Bachi yi a ton Maleka ni du ye kpame chuwo ni wo Hiridus, mba wawu kpi wa Yahudawa ba bata yo shishi ndi ba toh.”
12 And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were assembled, praying.
Ni mla to toki, a zren hi ni ko Maryamu iyi Yohana, wa ba yo ndi Markus ngame, niki ndji gbugbuwu bana zontu ki si bre Irji.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
Niwa a wrunkon wu kikle nkotra u ri ni ko'a, vivren wa wu ndu ni ko'a, wa ndema hi Ruda a ye nitu du ye kpa yo'a.
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate
Niwa a wo lan Bitrus nda to ndi a yi wawuyi, nitu ngyiri ana bwu nkon a na nda tsutsu ri hi nimi ko'a, nda ka hla bawu ndi Bitrus kri ni nyu nkontra wu kora.
15 And they said to her, Thou art insane. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.
Ba kri hlawu ndi, “Wu sran.” Ama a kri gbangban nitu a hi njanji. Ba tre ndi, “A hi ibrji ma.
16 But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened [the door], and saw him, they were astonished.
Ama Bitrus ana donme ni wrunko'a na, ni bwu nko mba, ba too nda kri bwunyu yo ni h'yo.
17 But he beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, show these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
Bitrus a ti ba niwo duba son gbangbi, nda bla bawu nitu wa Bachi a njiwu rju ni kotro. A tre ndi, ton ba hi ni Yakubu baba mbru mri vayi ba nitu kpeyi. Mle a lu don ba nda zren hi ni buburi nkan.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Niwa mble a nhra, ana tsitu fime wa a ri ni mi sojoji ba na nitu ka ahi ngye ti Bitrus.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that [they] should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and [there] abode.
Hu wa Hiridus a wa nda na too na, a mye bi gben ba nda yo ba ni duba wu ba. Hu ki, a grji rji ni Judiya hi ni Caesarea nda ka son niki.
20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon. But they came with one accord to him, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace, because their country was nourished by the king's [country].
Zizan Hiridus a shu ni nfu ni ndji bi Tyre mba Sidon. Ba hi niwu nitu kpe riri, nda weire Blastus, wa ani zo ninkon chu'a ndu, andi du yo nyu zoba, ba mye ndi duba ki ni sikpe ni gbungblu meme wu nikon chu'a.
21 And upon a set day, Herod arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them.
Ni vi wa ba yo'a, Hiridus a sru nklon ma u bi chu nda son ni ruron wu tu chuma, nda lu tre ni ba.
22 And the people gave a shout, [saying], [It is] the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Ndji ba ba kpagro ndi, “Wayi hi lan Irji ana wu ndji na!”
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died.
Hari me, Maleka Bachi a kri yo wru, nitu ana nu Irji ninkon na; ntson mra ba kri rhiwu wuu.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Ama lantre Irji a si bwu bran ndani krigbu.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled [their] ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Niki, niwa Barnabas mba Shawulu ba kle ndu zren mba, ba k'ma zren rji ni Urishelima, nda nji nha niba Yohana, wa ba yo ndi Markus
