Kitetidayta Ootho 12
1 He wode kawoo Herdossay issi issi ammaniza asa goddi goddi metoththides.
It was at that time that King Herod began to ill-treat some of the members of the Church.
2 Yanssa ishsha Yaqoobe mashshan shuukissi wodhisides.
He had James, the brother of John, beheaded;
3 Izika hessa ooththidayss Ayhudata uhaaththaayisiidayssa beeyiddi Phixiroossakka oythisidees. Hesikka haniday Ayhudataas ukeeththa ba77alle geetettiza ba77alle galassa.
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.)
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 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.
5 Hessa gish Phixiroossay qachcho keeththan yegeetidees. Gido atin wossa keeththa asay izas kehi miino wossa wossidees.
So Peter was kept in prison, but meanwhile the prayers of the Church were being earnestly offered to God on his behalf.
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;
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.
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 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.”
8 Kitanchay iza “Ne mayoo mayya caamakka aththa” giin Phixiroossaykka azazetida mala ooththides. Qasseka kitanchay “Ne gabe mayada tana kaalla” gides.
The chains dropped from his wrists, and then the angel said: “Put on your girdle and sandals.” When Peter had done so, the angel added: “Throw your cloak round you and follow me.”
9 Phixiroossayka qachcho keethafe iza kaalli keezidees. Gido attin izas agumo beeyza millatides attin kitanchazi ooththizayisi tummu gidida erribeyna.
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.
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.
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.
11 Phixiroossas kaahay simmishshin “Goday ba kitancha kiittidi iza herodossa kushepene ayhudat ta bolla qoopida wursiofe tana keessidayssa ta ha7i tummape erradis” gidees.
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.”
12 Hessa akeekki erridape guye daroo asay issi bolla shiqeetiddi wossiza Marqqoosa geetettiza Yanssa ayoo Maramiso bidees.
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.
13 Izi he biidi kare peengge qooxiin issi Rooda geetettiza garadeya kare oonni qooxiizakone erranas kare dooyana baddus.
On his knocking at the door in the gate, a maidservant, named Rhoda, came to answer it.
14 Qaalay Phixiroossayssa gididayssa errada keeza uhaaththaa7etida gish kare dooyontta wooththan guye simmada “Phixiroossay Karen pengge bolla eqqidees” gadus.
She recognized Peter’s voice, but in her joy left the gate unopened, and ran in, and told them that Peter was standing outside.
15 Assaykka izoo “Hanne gooyazzi!” gida, Iza qass zaara zaara isttas yootin “Histtikoo hess iza naagiza kitancha gidontta aggena” gida.
“You are mad!” they exclaimed. But, when she persisted that it was so, they said: “It must be his spirit!”
16 Phixiroossay qass peengge qoththu gujjides. Isttika peengge dooyidi iza beeyida mala malaletida.
Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, and, when they opened the gate and saw him, they were amazed.
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 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 Brethren all this.” Then he left the house, and went away to another place.
18 Woonttetha gallas woonttara wotadaratti “Phixiroossay waniddee?” gishshe ba garssan shirotida.
In the morning there was a great stir among the soldiers — what could have become of 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.
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.
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.
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.
21 Gigana bareetida gallas Herdossay kawotetha mayoo mayidi kawotetha algan uttidi deeras haasa7ides.
On an appointed day Herod, wearing his state-robes, seated himself on his throne, and delivered an oration.
22 Derezikka “hayisi xoossa qaalape attin asa qaala gideena” gi waassides. Herdossaykka
The people kept shouting: “It is the voice of God, and not of a man!”
23 Xoossas boncho immontta aggida gish goda kitanchay herakka herodossa shoci yeggiin guxxuni hayqqidees.
Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; and he was attacked with worms, and died.
24 Xoossa qaalay gidikoo diccidi aakki aakki bidees.
Meanwhile the Lord’s Message kept extending, and spreading far and wide.
25 Barinabassayne Sawuley ba ekki bida kiita pollidi Yerusalame simmidi Marqqossa geetetiz yanssaka benara ekki simmida.
When Barnabas and Saul had carried out their mission, they returned to Jerusalem, and took with them John, who was also known as Mark.
