Asan'ny Apostoly 12
1 Ie henane zay, nañity fitàñe t’i Heroda mpanjaka hampisarerake ty ila’ i fivoriy.
And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands to do evil to certain of those of the Assembly,
2 Navetra’e am-pibara t’Iakobe rahalahi’ i Jaona.
and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword,
3 Ie nifohi’e te nahafale o Tehodao, le tinovo’e ami’ty nitsepahañe i Petera. Nanoeñe amo andro’ i Sabadidak’ i Mofo tsy aman-dalivaiio zay.
and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also—and they were the days of the Unleavened [Bread]—
4 Tsinepa’e re naho najo’e am-porozò ao naho nanolotse mpiray lian-dahindefoñe efatse hañambeñe aze, ie nisinafiry ty hañakatse aze añatrefa’ ondatio naho fa tampetse i Fihelañey.
whom also having seized, he put in prison, having delivered [him] to four squads of four soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him forth to the people after the Passover.
5 Aa le nitambozoreñe am-balabey ao t’i Petera vaho nimanea’ i Fivoriy halaly aman’ Añahare.
Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the Assembly to God for him,
6 Ie amy aniankale’ ty hanesea’ i Heroda, le nirotse añivo’ ty lahin-defoñe roe ao t’i Petera nivahoran-tsilisily roe, vaho nijohañe an-dalam-bey eo o mpigaritse i porozòio.
and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards were also keeping the prison before the door,
7 Tojo te nivotrake eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà, le nireandreañe amy trañoy ty hazavàñe. Nedrè’e an-deme’e t’i Petera naho nampitroare’e ami’ty hoe, Miongaha masìka! vaho nivitsok’ am-pità’e o silisilio.
and behold, a messenger of the LORD stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having struck Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, “Rise in haste,” and his chains fell from off [his] hands.
8 Le hoe ty asa’ i anjeliy tama’e: Midiaña naho mihanà. Nanoe’e izay. Le hoe re tama’e: Saravio o lamba’oo le mañoriha.
The messenger also said to him, “Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals”; and he did so; and he says to him, “Cast your garment around and follow me”;
9 Niakatse re, nanonjohy avao, fa tsy napota’e te ho tò i nanoe’ i anjeliy ama’ey; natao’e te nioniñ’ aroñaroñe.
and having gone forth, he was following him, and he did not know that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision,
10 Rinio’ iareo ty liam-pigaritse valoha’e naho ty faharoe vaho nigaoñe ami’ty lalam-bey viñe fimoahañe amy rovay ze nisokake ho a iareo an-tsatri’e le niakatse naho nizotso mb’ami’ty lalañe mb’ eo vaho nimiañe ama’e i anjeliy.
and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came to the iron gate that is leading into the city, which opened to them of its own accord, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.
11 Ie nivañoñe t’i Petera, le hoe re: Apotako henaneo an-katò te nirahe’ Iehovà i anjeli’ey hañaha ahy am-pità’ i Heroda naho amy ze fitamà’ o Jiosy iabio.
And Peter having come to himself, said, “Now I have known of a truth that the LORD sent forth His messenger, and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews”;
12 Ie naharendreke izay, le nimb’ añ’ anjomba’ i Marie rene’ i Jaona natao Marka, ze nivoria’ ty maro nihalaly.
also, having considered, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.
13 Aa ie nañonkòñe amy lalam-bey fimoahañey t’i Petera, le nimb’eo ty mpitoroñ’ ampela atao Rodae handrendreke.
And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a girl to listen, by name Rhoda,
14 Ie nirendre’e ty fiarañanaña’ i Petera, le akore ty hafalea’e, kanao tsy nanokake lalañe, te mone nilay añe nitalily te nijohañe an-dalambey ao t’i Petera!
and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,
15 Veren-draha n’iheo, hoe iareo. Fe mbe nitambozore’e te to, le hoe iereo: I anjeli’ey ‘nio.
and they said to her, “You are mad”; and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, “It is his messenger”;
16 Mbe nañonkòñe avao t’i Petera. Aa naho sinoka’ iareo i lalañey, nizoe’ iereo re vaho nilatsa,
and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,
17 le tinondrotondro’ i Petera am-pitañe hianjiña’ iareo naho natalili’e ty nampiakara’ i Talè aze amy porozòy. Le hoe re: Italilio t’Iakobe naho o roahalahio; vaho nienga mb’an-toetse hafa añe.
and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the LORD brought him out of the prison, and he said, “Declare these things to James and to the brothers”; and having gone forth, he went on to another place.
18 Ie nimaraindray, hay aia ty fivalitaboa’ o lahin-defoñeo ami’ty nanjò’ i Petera.
And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,
19 Ie nampitsoehe’ i Heroda soa fa tsy nioniñe, le nilohize’e o mpigaritseo vaho nampanese’e añe. Nizotso boake Iehodà mb’e Kaisaria añe t’i Heroda le nitambatse ao.
and Herod having sought for him, and having not found, having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding [there].
20 Ie amy zao ro nioroñoroñe amy Tirò naho i Sidona, f’ie nifamantañe le nimb’ ama’e mb’eo re, naho nampivavè’ iareo t’i Blasto, mpiatra’ i mpanjakay, le nihalaly fifampilongoañe ama’e amy te mpamahañe ty tane’ i mpanjakay ty tane’ iareo.
And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came to him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king’s;
21 Aa ie amy andro tinendrey, nisikin-dambam-panjaka t’i Heroda, niambesatse am-piambesa’e eo nilañoñe am’ondatio.
and on a set day, Herod having clothed himself in kingly clothing, and having sat down on the judgment seat, was making an oration to them,
22 Aa le nipazapazake ty hoe ondatio: Fiarañanañan-drañahare zao fa tsy a ondaty.
and the populace were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
23 Toly ndra pinao’ ty anjeli’ Iehovà amy zao, ie tsy nandrenge an’ Andrianañahare, le nihànen’ oletse vaho nihomake.
And immediately a messenger of the LORD struck him in return for that he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.
24 Niraorao avao naho niboele ty tsara’ i Talè.
And the word of God grew and multiplied,
25 Naho niheneke ty lia’ i Barnabasy naho i Saole e Ierosaleme ao le nimpoly vaho nindese’ iereo t’i Jaona, atao Marka mindre ama’e.
and Barnabas and Saul turned back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministry, having also taken John with [them], who was surnamed Mark.
