¹Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.

¹Sa ande kodia vriama o amperato Herod chinuilas uni manushen kai sas Devleske andel khangeria.

²And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

²Ai mudardia la sabiasa o James, ophral le Iovanosko.

³And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened bread.

³Ai dikhlia ke so kerelas drago sas le Zhidovonge, phendia te phandaven le Petres. Kodia kerdilia ande vriama le manrhonge bi drozhdi.

⁴And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.

⁴Line les, ai thode les ande temnitsa, ai thode desh u shov ketani te arakhen les; ai mangen te sikaven les angla narodo pala E Patradi.

⁵Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.

⁵O Petri sas phandado ande temnitsa; numa e khangeri chi terdiolas te rhugilpe ka Del anda leste.

⁶And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.

⁶Iek riat mai anglal kai o amperato Herod zhalas te angerel le Petres angla narodo, o Petri sovelas ai phanglo sas dui lantsonsa mashkar dui ketani; ai aver ketani lenas sama angla wudar katar e temnitsa.

⁷And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.

⁷Eta, o angelo le Devlesko avilo, ai ek bari vediara strefialas ande temnitsa. O angelo wushtiardia le Petres, ai phenel leske, "Wushti opre strazo," ai le lantsuria pele tele katar leske vas.

⁸And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.

⁸Ai o angelo phendia leske, "Tho chi prashtai ai le shpargati." Ai o Petri kerdia so phendia leske, o angelo mai phendia leske, "Le pe tute chi raxami, ai aidi pala mande."

⁹And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.

⁹O Petri anklisto avri, ai liape pala leste, ai chi zhanelas ke so kerelas o angelo, chache sas, gindilas ke vizion dikhelas.

¹⁰And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him.

¹⁰Kana nakhle anglal pervo ketani ai porme anglal duito, aresle angla o wudar o sastruno kai angerel ando foro, kodo wudar phuterdiol korkorho angla lende, ankliste avri, ai dine po drom, ai strazo o angelo meklia le Petres.

¹¹And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

¹¹Avilo peste o Petri ai mothol, akana dikhav ke chaches O Del tradia peske angelos, ai ke lia ma anda vas le amperatosko, ai so godi le Zhiduvuria azhukerenas.

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 and were praying.

¹²Kana haliardia so kerdilia lesa, gelo ka kher la Mariako, woi sas e dei la Iovanoski, kai akharenas les Mark, kotse but narodo sas andek than ai rhuginaspe.

¹³And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.

¹³O Petri mardia anda o wudar, ai ek shei kai busholas Rhode, avili te dikhel.

¹⁴And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.

¹⁴Ai prinzhardia o glaso le Petresko, ai ando pesko raduimos chi phuterdia o wudar, numa geli te mothol le kolavrenge ke o Petri angla o wudar sas.

¹⁵And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.

¹⁵Won mothonas lake, "Dzili san," numa woi motholas ke chaches sas. Ai won mothonas, "Ke lesko angelo si."

¹⁶But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.

¹⁶Numao Petri mai marelas anda o wudar, ai kana phuterde o wudar ai dikhle les, chudisaile.

¹⁷But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place.

¹⁷Kerdia lenge anda vas te na kerren mui, ai phendia lenge sar O Del lia les avri andai temnitsa. Ai phendia, phenen so kerdilia le Jamesoske ai le kolaver phralenge. Porme gelotar, ai gelo ande kolaver rik.

¹⁸Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

¹⁸Kana phuterdilo o dies, le ketani chi haliarenas so kerdilia, ai chi zhanenas kai sas o Petri.

¹⁹And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and tarried there.

¹⁹Ai kana o amperato Herod rodia les, chi arakhe les, ai phushlia katar le bare, ai dia ordina te mudaren le ketanen kai lenas sama lestar.Porme o Herod gelo andai Judea zhando Casarea, te beshel kotse xantsi vriama.

²⁰Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king's country.

²⁰O Herod defial xoliariko sas po narodo kai sas ando Tyre ai ando Sidon, numa won avile karing leste. Line pesa pe penge rik, ieka ketani kai busholas Blastus, wo sas pasha amperato, porme gele te mangen katar o Herod e pacha lensa, ke won lestar anenas xaben ande pengo them katar o amperato.

²¹And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.

²¹O dies kai manglia o Herod, liape peste peske tsalia le amperetsisko , ai beshlo po skamin, ai dia lensa duma angla savorhende.

²²And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man.

²²Ai o narodo tsipilas, phenenas, "Nai kado manush kai del duma, numa del si."

²³And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

²³Numa strazo o angelo le Devlesko naswardia (dia palma) le amperatos, ke mangelas te garavel pesko barimos, kai trobulas le Devleske te avel, le rhimi xale les, ai mulo.

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴E Vorba le Devleski ashundilias mai but ai mai but.

²⁵And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.

²⁵Kana o Barnabas ai o Saul getosarde penge buchi avile palpale anda Jerusalem, angerde pesa le Iovanos kai akharenas les Mark.
