Asan'ny Apostoly 12
1 Ie henane zay, nañity fitàñe t’i Heroda mpanjaka hampisarerake ty ila’ i fivoriy.
Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
2 Navetra’e am-pibara t’Iakobe rahalahi’ i Jaona.
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.
When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of 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.
When he had arrested him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out 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 was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was 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.
The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
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, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell 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 angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak 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 he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought 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.
When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel 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.
When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”
12 Ie naharendreke izay, le nimb’ añ’ anjomba’ i Marie rene’ i Jaona natao Marka, ze nivoria’ ty maro nihalaly.
Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13 Aa ie nañonkòñe amy lalam-bey fimoahañey t’i Petera, le nimb’eo ty mpitoroñ’ ampela atao Rodae handrendreke.
When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
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!
When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15 Veren-draha n’iheo, hoe iareo. Fe mbe nitambozore’e te to, le hoe iereo: I anjeli’ey ‘nio.
They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
16 Mbe nañonkòñe avao t’i Petera. Aa naho sinoka’ iareo i lalañey, nizoe’ iereo re vaho nilatsa,
But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
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.
But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.
18 Ie nimaraindray, hay aia ty fivalitaboa’ o lahin-defoñeo ami’ty nanjò’ i Petera.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had 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.
When Herod had sought for him and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed 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.
Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.
21 Aa ie amy andro tinendrey, nisikin-dambam-panjaka t’i Heroda, niambesatse am-piambesa’e eo nilañoñe am’ondatio.
On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
22 Aa le nipazapazake ty hoe ondatio: Fiarañanañan-drañahare zao fa tsy a ondaty.
The people shouted, “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.
Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.
24 Niraorao avao naho niboele ty tsara’ i Talè.
But 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.
Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
