Nyingnam 12
1 So lvkwng lo vbv ririlo hoka Dvbv Herod gvrja nyi meegonyi mvdwkmvku rapto.
Around this time King Herod began to persecute some members of the church.
2 Hv Jemsnyi, Jon gv boru am rioksv lokv pakitoku.
He had James, John's brother, executed by sword.
3 Vdwlo hv vbvrinam si Jius vdwa alvbv mvngpu modu vla kaapa pvkudw hv Pitar nyika naatungto. (Svbv rikuv vpap lwkmabv vtwng dvdw pumja alu lo).
When he saw that the Jews were pleased by this, he had Peter arrested too. (This was during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.)
4 Pitarnyi naatungro koching bv patwk lo tumlwk toku, hoka ninyia sipai nyitwng api lokv akinakin sakbv naalinla ninyia apigo dagv yamuto. Herodnyi vngbo dvmin gv kochinglo kvba vdwgv kaakulo mvtungmvre dubv vla rungto.
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 Vkvlvgabv Pitarnyi patwk lo tumlwk pvto, vbvritola gvrja lo nyi vdwv ninyigvbv Pwknvyarnvnyi dinchi rungbv kumji nyato.
While Peter was kept in prison the church prayed earnestly to God for him.
6 Pitarnyi ho ayu Herod gv nyi vdwgvlo boolin madv bv, Pitar dakrianv anyi gv pingkolo yupla dooto. Ninyia jaako sonyi gonv leepvto, okv okaku dakrianv vdwv patwk agi lo dakria nyatoku.
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 Dvminmabv Ahtu gv nyidogindung ako hoka daktoku, okv patwk arwnglo loung go unglinto. Pitar gv Gorbwng lo nyidogindung lakpvnamv lamrwpato, ninyia mvu toku, okv minto, “Gudungto! baapubvkv!” Pitar gv laak lokv vjakpigobv rvngja ngv taasokto.
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 Vbvrikunamv nyidogindung ngv minto, “Noogv tainhokpo nga hukto kuka okv noogv lvkiama gvvto.” Pitar vbv ritoku, okv nyidogindung ngv minto, “Noogv pakria nga koorwkto okv nga lvkobv aato.”
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 Pitar oguka chimabv, patwk arwng lokv agum bv, ninyia vngming gvvtoku, ogubv rikujvka, vbv nyidogindung gv rinam yangv jvjv guya; vla hv mvngtoku ninyi nyikrwgo kaapv nvgobvri vla.
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 Bunu dakria la dakcho konga vngboto okv anyi nvngaka, okv vngnyung nga pamtv bv vngjiku riokdar agi lo aatoku. Agiv bunugv lvgabv kokda sila dooto, okv bunu agum bv vnglintoku. Bunu pamtv gv ara bv ilwkla vngto, okv nyidogindung ngv Vjakgobv Pitarnyi vngyu toku.
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 Vbvrikunamv Pitar ninyigv ogugo ripvdw mvngdw tola, okv minto, “Ngo svjv chimpvku so si jvjv gurung! Ahtu ninyigv nyidogindung nga kanam tola nga Herod gv jwkrw lokv okv Jius nyi vdwgv vbvrijeyiku nvpv vla mvngmin nam mvnwng loka ringlin pvku.”
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 Ninyigv svbv riyi so himakaya sudubv, hv Jon mark gv anv Meri gv naam lo vngtoku, hoka nyi vdwv achialv dookum la okv kumla doonyato.
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 Pitar hoka agi am takdinto, okv nyimvpaknv aminv Roda vnam ako um mirwk sudubv aatoku.
When he knocked on the gateway door, a servant girl called Rhoda came to open up.
14 Hv Pitar gv gaama tvvchinto okv himpu yalaku agiya koko mabv ninyi arwngbv jukkur lwktoku, okv Pitar agum vv dakpv vla arwnglo gokyak pato.
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 Bunu ninyia minto, “No suru pvnvgo!” Vbvritola hv si jvjv ngvkv vla mimbwng jito. Vkvlvgabv bunu mirwksito, “So si ninyigv nyidogindung go.”
“You're mad!” they told her. But she kept on insisting it was true. So they said, “It must be his angel.”
16 Vbv ridung rilo Pitar takdin dvla doodvto. Anyungnga bunu agiya kokko jitoku, okv vdwlo bunu ninyia kaapa namgola, bunu lamnya toku.
Peter continued knocking. When they did eventually open the door, they saw it was him, and were totally shocked.
17 Pitar ninyigv laakv lakbvla bunua choibvkv vla mintoku, okv hv bunua oguaingbv Ahtu ninyia patwk lokv linggv kunam am mimbwk la mimpa jitoku. “Sum Jems okv mvngjwngnv dvdvlo mimpa laka,” hv minto; vbvrikunamv ninyia vngyu toku okv mooku kvvbilo vngtoku.
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 Vdwlo arukamchi kubvdw, hoka dakria kaarianv vdwgv pingkolo abwk kuma bv ritoku—Pitarnyi ogugo ripv nvgobvri?
When daylight came the soldiers were totally confused as to what had happened to Peter.
19 Herod Pitarnyi makar dubv orto jito, vbvritola bunu ninyia mapa kuma toku. Vkvlvgabv hv dakriakarianv vdwa tvukapak tokula okv bunua mvki dvkubv orto jitoku. So kochingbv, Herod Judia nga vngyula okv Kaisaria lo apogo dootoku.
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 Herod Tayar okv Sidon gv nyi vdwa achialv bv haachi toku, vkvlvgabv bunu lvkin gubv ritola ninyia kaatv bv vngtoku. Atuk chochok bv dvbvkarv nga doogvdakgv yanv nyi, Blastasnyi bunu mindin chootoku, bunua ninyia kaadur kodubv vla. Vbvrikunamv bunu Herod gv dokubv vngto okv sarsopoyonam lvgabv ninyia tvvkato, ogulvgavbolo bunugv mooku ngv ambinamor am dvbv gv diringmooku lokv jilwk doonv.
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 Darlinnam alu gulo Herod ninyigv Dvbv vji jvtv laklwk ka gvvto, ninyigv dvbvdotung kolo doolwk toku okv nyi vdwa kvba gaam go japto.
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 Bunu gokla minto, “So si nyi gv japnam bv rima, vbvritola Pwknvyarnv gv japnam bv rido!”
The audience shouted in response, “This is the voice of a god, not that of a man!”
23 Vjakgobv Ahtu gv nyidogindung ngv Herodnyi svtap pala seluto, ogulvgavbolo hv Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngdv jimato. Ninyia tapumv chetoku okv sitoku.
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 Vbvriro kochingbv Pwknvyarnv gv gaamv tvvsik yaya toku okv kaiyayabv ritoku.
But the word of God spread, and more and more people believed.
25 Barnabas okv Sol bunyi gv minkarrikar svnga rinya toku, okv bunyi Jerusalem lokv aakur laku, Jon Mark ninyia naalaila bunyi gv lvkobv vnggv toku.
Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem once they had finished their mission, taking John Mark with them.
