1Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
1 A go mo alwaato din ra, Hirodus* kaŋ ga ti laabukoyo na nga kamba salle zama nga ma Almasihu marga boro fooyaŋ gurzugandi.
2And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
2 A na Yohanna beere Yakuba wi da takuba.
3And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
3 Waato kaŋ a di woodin kaan Yahudancey se, a na Bitros mo di. (Buuru kaŋ sinda dalbu bato* jirbey ra no woodin te.)
4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
4 Waato kaŋ a n'a di, a n'a daŋ kasu. A n'a daŋ sooje sata taaci kaŋ ikulu gonda sooje taaci-taaci kambe ra, i m'a batu. Hirodus gonda anniya nga ma Bitros kaa taray jama se Paska* banda.
5Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
5 I binde goono ga Bitros gaay kaso ra, amma Almasihu marga goono ga adduwa te a se Irikoy gaa da anniya.
6And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
6 Waato kaŋ Hirodus soola nga m'a kaa taray, cino din ra Bitros goono ga kani sooje hinka game ra. I n'a haw da sisiri hinka. Batukoy mo kaŋ go meyo gaa goono ga kasu fuwo batu.
7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
7 Guna mo, Rabbi malayka fo bangay a se, annura fo mo na fuwo kaarandi. Malayka na Bitros kar a carawo gaa k'a tunandi. A ne: «Tun ka kay da waasi.» A sisirey kulu mo fun kambey gaa ka kaŋ.
8And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
8 Malayka ne a se: «Ma guddu ka ni taamey mo haw.» Yaadin mo no a te. Malayka ne a se: «Ma ni kwaayo daŋ k'ay gana.»
9And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
9 A fatta mo k'a gana. A mana bay hala haŋ kaŋ te malayka do ya cimi no, amma a ho hala bangayyaŋ no nga di.
10When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
10 Waato kaŋ i bisa batuko sintina da ihinkanta gaa, i to guuru meyo do kaŋ ga guna kwaara gaa, nga mo feeri nga boŋ se. I fatta ka fondo fo gana. Sahãadin-sahãadin, malayka fay d'a.
11And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
11 Waato kaŋ Bitros laakalo ye a gaa, a ne: «Sohõ ay bay kaŋ haciika Rabbi no ka nga malayka donton k'ay faaba Hirodus kambe ra da Yahudancey jama hanganyaŋ kulu gaa.»
12And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
12 Waato kaŋ a na hayey din lasaabu binde, a koy Maryama kwaara, Yohanna kaŋ se i ga ne Markos nya no. Noodin no boro boobo margu zama ngey ma te adduwa.
13And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
13 Waato kaŋ Bitros na windo me kar, wandiyo goy-ize fo kaŋ maa Roda koy ka di boro kaŋ no.
14And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
14 Amma waato kaŋ a bay kaŋ Bitros jinde no, a mana meyo fiti farhã sabbay se, amma a bare ka zuru ka koy baaro ci borey se ka ne: «Bitros go windo me gaa ga kay.»
15And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
15 I ne a se: «Ni boŋo koma!» Amma nga wo tabbatandi kaŋ yaadin no. Ngey mo ne: «A malayka no!»
16But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
16 Amma Bitros soobay ka windo meyo kar. Waato kaŋ i n'a fiti, i di a mo, kal i dambara.
17But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
17 A na nga kamba sambu ka ne i ma dangay. Waato gaa a ci i se mate kaŋ cine no Rabbi na nga kaa kaso ra nd'a. A ne: «Araŋ ma hayey din ci Yakuba da nya-izey se.» Gaa no a fatta ka koy nangu fo.
18Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
18 A go no, waato kaŋ mo bo, kusuuma bambata te soojey do, hala haŋ kaŋ no Bitros ciya.
19And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
19 Waato kaŋ Hirodus n'a ceeci, a mana di a mo, kal a na batukoy hã. Gaa no a lordi ka ne i m'i wi. Koyo mo tun noodin Yahudiya ka zulli Kaysariya kwaara ka goro jirbiyaŋ.
20And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
20 A go no, a te bine gumo da Tir da Zidon borey. Waato kaŋ i hin Balatusu kaŋ ga ti koyo kwaara ize, i kaa Hirodus do da bina folloŋ. I goono ga laakal kanay ceeci, zama i laabo goono ga du ŋwaari koyo laabo ra.
21And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
21 Zaaro kaŋ i suuban, Hirodus na nga koytaray kwaayey daŋ ka goro karga boŋ. A goono ga salaŋ borey se.
22And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
22 Jama mo goono ga kuuwa ka ne: «Beene koy fo jinde no woone, manti boro wane no!»
23And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
23 Sahãadin-sahãadin Rabbi malayka fo n'a kar, zama a mana Irikoy beerandi. Nooniyaŋ mo di k'a ŋwa kal a bu.
24But the word of God grew and multiplied.
24 Amma Irikoy sanno goono ga say-say ka koy jina.
25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
25 Waato kaŋ i na ngey saajaw goyo toonandi, Barnaba da Sawulu ye ka fun Urusalima. I kande Yohanna kaŋ se i ga ne Markos ngey banda.
