Hawaareta Oosuwa 12
1 He wode Kawoy Heroodisi woosa keetha asaappe baggaa gooda doomis.
Around this time King Herod began to persecute some members of the church.
2 Yohaannisa ishaa Yayqooba mashshan wodhisis.
He had James, John's brother, executed by sword.
3 Hessi Ayhudeta ufayssidayssa be7idi, gujjidi Phexiroosakka oythis. Hessi haniday Faasika Baale bonchchiya gallasatana.
When he saw that the Jews were pleased by this, he had Peter arrested too. (This was during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.)
4 Phexiroosa oykkidi qachchis. Faasika bonchchiya gallasatappe guye deriya sinthe aathanaw qoppidi, oyddu oyddu wotaaddareti iya naagana mela tammanne usuppun wotaaddaretas aathi immis.
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 gisho, Phexiroosi qasho keethan naagettees. Shin woosa keetha asay iyaw minthidi Xoossaa woossosona.
While Peter was kept in prison the church prayed earnestly to God for him.
6 Heroodisi Phexiroosa asaa sinthe shiishanaappe kase qamma Phexiroosi nam77u baggara nam77u wotaaddaretara santhalaatan qashettidi entta giddon dhiskkis. Naageyssati qasho keethaa penggetan eqqidi naagoosona.
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 Akeekonna de7ishin Godaa kiitanchchoy qonccidis. Qasho keethan poo7oy poo7is. Kiitanchchoy Phexiroosa miyiya bochchi barkkisidi, “Elle dendda” yaagis. Iirakka santhalaatay iya kushiyappe wodhdhi aggis.
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 Kiitanchchoy iyaakko, “Ne ma7uwa ma77a, ne caammaaka aatha” yaagis. Phexiroosi hessada oothis; kiitanchchoy, “Ne laxana ma77ada tana kaalla” yaagis.
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 Phexiroosi qasho keethafe keyidi kiitanchchuwa kaallis. Iyaw qonccethi be7iyabaa daanisippe attin kiitanchchoy oothiyabay tuma daanibeenna.
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 Kiitanchchoynne Phexiroosi koyruwanne nam77antho wotaaddariya aadhdhidi katamaa efiya biraata penggiyako gakkidosona. Penggey enttaw barkka dooyetti aggis. Entti keyidi issi ogiyara bishin kiitanchchoy akeekonna Phexiroosappe shaaketti aggis.
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 Phexiroosas wozani simmin, “Tana Goday ba kiitanchchuwa kiittidi, Heroodisa kusheppenne naagidi uttida Ayhude asa ubbaafe ashshidayssa ha77i tuma eras” yaagis.
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 I hessa akeekida wode daro asay issife shiiqidi Xoossaa woossiya bessaa, Marqqoosa giya Yohaannisa aaye Mayraami soo bis.
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 Yan karen eqqidi xeegis. Issi Rooda giya oosanchchiya penggiya dooyanaw yasu.
When he knocked on the gateway door, a servant girl called Rhoda came to open up.
14 Rooda Phexiroosa qaala gididayssa erida wode ufayssan kumada kariya dooyenna guye woxxa bada, “Phexiroosi karen eqqis” yaagada asaas odasu.
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 Asay iikko, “Neeni gooyay!” yaagidosona. Rooda Phexiroosa gididayssa geeshshada odasu. Entti, “Hessi iya naagiya kiitanchchuwa” yaagidosona.
“You're mad!” they told her. But she kept on insisting it was true. So they said, “It must be his angel.”
16 Shin Phexiroosi karen eqqidi xeegidi aggonna ixxin asay kariya dooyidi iya be7idi malaalettidosona.
Peter continued knocking. When they did eventually open the door, they saw it was him, and were totally shocked.
17 Shin entti si7i gaana mela Phexiroosi ba kushiyan mallidi Goday qasho keethafe iya waati kessidaakko enttaw qonccisi odidi, “Hayssa Yayqoobasinne ammaniyaa asatas odite” gidi yaappe keyidi harasoo bis.
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 Sa7ay wonttiya wode, “Phexiroosi aw bide” gidi wotaaddareti woli giddon daro kaccidosona.
When daylight came the soldiers were totally confused as to what had happened to Peter.
19 Heroodisi Phexiroosa koyisin, I dhayida wode naageyssata qoridi, entta wodhana mela kiittis. Hessafe guye, Heroodisi Yihudappe Qisaariya wodhdhidi yan guutha wode uttis.
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 Heroodisi Xiiroosa asa bollanne Sidoona asaa bolla daro hanqettis. Entta biittay kathi Heroodisa biittaafe demmiya gisho entti issife gididi iya moorinnaa Bilasxoosa banttaw cima oothidi giiganaw Heroodisakko bidosona.
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 Heroodisi sunthida gallasan ba kawotethaa afilaa ma7idi, araata bolla uttidi asaas odis.
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 Asay, “Hessi Xoossaa qaala, asa qaala gidenna” yaagidi waassidosona.
The audience shouted in response, “This is the voice of a god, not that of a man!”
23 Heroodisi Xoossaa bonchchiboona gisho iirakka Godaa kiitanchchoy iya dechchin guxunen meetettidi hayqqis.
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 Shin Xoossaa qaalay diccishenne dalggishe bees.
But the word of God spread, and more and more people believed.
25 Barnnabaasinne Saa7oli bantta oosuwa polidi Marqqoosa giya Yohaannisa banttara ekkidi Yerusalaameppe simmidosona.
Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem once they had finished their mission, taking John Mark with them.
