Kitetidayta Ootho 12
1 He wode kawoo Herdossay issi issi ammaniza asa goddi goddi metoththides.
Around this time King Herod began to persecute some members of the church.
2 Yanssa ishsha Yaqoobe mashshan shuukissi wodhisides.
He had James, John's brother, executed by sword.
3 Izika hessa ooththidayss Ayhudata uhaaththaayisiidayssa beeyiddi Phixiroossakka oythisidees. Hesikka haniday Ayhudataas ukeeththa ba77alle geetettiza ba77alle galassa.
When he saw that the Jews were pleased by this, he had Peter arrested too. (This was during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.)
4 Phixirossaka qasho keeth gellithidape guye oyddu oydu olla asati taran taran nagana mala gigetiida olla asatas immides. Izi hessaththo ooththiday fazziga ba77alley adhdhida mala kessiidi derey pirdana mala shishshanasa.
After having Peter arrested, he threw him in prison, with four squads of four soldiers each to guard him. He planned to have Peter brought out for a public trial after the Passover.
5 Hessa gish Phixiroossay qachcho keeththan yegeetidees. Gido atin wossa keeththa asay izas kehi miino wossa wossidees.
While Peter was kept in prison the church prayed earnestly to God for him.
6 Herodosay Phixiroossa dereza sinthth shishshana qoopi uttidishshin he qaama gidoththo namm7u sanththalatan qachchetidi namm7u wotadarata giidoon ziniides. Qacho keeththa nagizayti keeththa pengge bolla eqqi naagishin;
The night before Herod was to have him put on trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, chained to each of them, and with guards at the door keeping watch.
7 Goda kitanchay qoopontta dinggatte betides. Istti diza kihaaththailen poo7oy poo7idees. kitanchaykka Phixiroossa mile bochchi begoththidi “Ellela deendda” giides. Herakka sanththalatay iza kushshepe gadeen wodhides.
Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. The angel shook Peter awake, saying “Quick! Get up!” The chains fell from his wrists,
8 Kitanchay iza “Ne mayoo mayya caamakka aththa” giin Phixiroossaykka azazetida mala ooththides. Qasseka kitanchay “Ne gabe mayada tana kaalla” gides.
and the angel told him, “Get dressed, and put on your sandals.” So he did. Then the angel told him, “Put on your coat and follow me.”
9 Phixiroossayka qachcho keethafe iza kaalli keezidees. Gido attin izas agumo beeyza millatides attin kitanchazi ooththizayisi tummu gidida erribeyna.
So Peter followed the angel out. He didn't realize that what the angel was doing was actually happening—he thought he was seeing a vision.
10 koyro zabeistapene namm7anththo zabeistape adhdhidi gede kaatama keesiza ogge bolla diza birata peenggekoo gakkida. Peenggeykka berkka dooyetti wodhdhides istti kezi bida. Istt qeeri looqqa ogge dizaro adhdhida mala kitanchay izape shaaketidees.
They passed the first and second sets of guards, and came to the iron gate that led into the city. This opened for them by itself. They went out and down the street, when suddenly the angel left him.
11 Phixiroossas kaahay simmishshin “Goday ba kitancha kiittidi iza herodossa kushepene ayhudat ta bolla qoopida wursiofe tana keessidayssa ta ha7i tummape erradis” gidees.
When Peter came to his senses, he said, “Now I realize this really happened! The Lord sent an angel to rescue me from Herod's power, and from everything that the Jewish people had planned.”
12 Hessa akeekki erridape guye daroo asay issi bolla shiqeetiddi wossiza Marqqoosa geetettiza Yanssa ayoo Maramiso bidees.
Now that he was conscious of what had happened, Peter went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark. Many believers had gathered there, and were praying.
13 Izi he biidi kare peengge qooxiin issi Rooda geetettiza garadeya kare oonni qooxiizakone erranas kare dooyana baddus.
When he knocked on the gateway door, a servant girl called Rhoda came to open up.
14 Qaalay Phixiroossayssa gididayssa errada keeza uhaaththaa7etida gish kare dooyontta wooththan guye simmada “Phixiroossay Karen pengge bolla eqqidees” gadus.
But recognizing Peter's voice, in her excitement she didn't open the door. Instead she ran back inside shouting, “Peter's at the door!”
15 Assaykka izoo “Hanne gooyazzi!” gida, Iza qass zaara zaara isttas yootin “Histtikoo hess iza naagiza kitancha gidontta aggena” gida.
“You're mad!” they told her. But she kept on insisting it was true. So they said, “It must be his angel.”
16 Phixiroossay qass peengge qoththu gujjides. Isttika peengge dooyidi iza beeyida mala malaletida.
Peter continued knocking. When they did eventually open the door, they saw it was him, and were totally shocked.
17 Izikka istti co7u gana mala ba kushshen malatti beesidi Goday iza qachchosoope wostti keesidakonne loo7ethi yootides. “hayssa wursii Yaqoobesine hankko ammanizaytas yootitte” gides. Hessapekka gede haraso bidees.
Peter held up his hand for them to be quiet, and then explained to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. “Let James and the brothers know about this,” he told them, and then left to go somewhere else.
18 Woonttetha gallas woonttara wotadaratti “Phixiroossay waniddee?” gishshe ba garssan shirotida.
When daylight came the soldiers were totally confused as to what had happened to Peter.
19 Herdossay Pixirossa ass yeedi koyisid izi dhayida gish nagizayta loo7ethi oychchidape guye istta wodhdhana mala azazidees. Hessafe guye Herdossay Yuodapee duge Qissariya wodhdhidi hen uttidees.
Herod had a thorough search made for him, but he couldn't be found. After interrogating the guards, Herod ordered that they should be executed. Then Herod left Judea and went to stay in Caesarea.
20 Herdossayka Xirosa asarane Siidoona asara ooshsha. He dere asay kaath demmizay Herodossa derepe gidida gish he dere kawoo xelizade Bilasxoossappe maado qaala deemmida mala issi bolla Herdossara iginththana giidi oychchida.
Now Herod had become furious with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They sent a joint delegation to see him and managed to win Blastus, the king's personal assistant, over to their side. They pleaded for peace with Herod because they were dependent on the king's territory for food.
21 Gigana bareetida gallas Herdossay kawotetha mayoo mayidi kawotetha algan uttidi deeras haasa7ides.
When the day came for their appointment with the king, Herod put on his royal robes, sat on his throne, and gave a speech to them.
22 Derezikka “hayisi xoossa qaalape attin asa qaala gideena” gi waassides. Herdossaykka
The audience shouted in response, “This is the voice of a god, not that of a man!”
23 Xoossas boncho immontta aggida gish goda kitanchay herakka herodossa shoci yeggiin guxxuni hayqqidees.
Immediately the angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory. He was consumed by worms and died.
24 Xoossa qaalay gidikoo diccidi aakki aakki bidees.
But the word of God spread, and more and more people believed.
25 Barinabassayne Sawuley ba ekki bida kiita pollidi Yerusalame simmidi Marqqossa geetetiz yanssaka benara ekki simmida.
Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem once they had finished their mission, taking John Mark with them.
