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

¹ Ca jamono jooja Erodd buur ba jàppoon na ay nit ci mbooloom ñi gëm, ngir fitnaal leen.

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

² Noonu mu daldi jàpp Saag, doomu ndeyu Yowaana, mu reylu ko ci jaasi.

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

³ Bi mu gisee nag ne, mbir moomu neex na Yawut ya, mu daldi jàpp it Piyeer; fekk loolu daje ak bési màggalu Yawut, ga ñuy wax Mburu ya amul lawiir.

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.

⁴ Bi mu ko jàppee, mu tëj ko kaso, teg ko ci loxoy ñeenti mboolooy xarekat, ngir ñu wottu ko, fekk mbooloo mu ci nekk di ñeenti nit; amoon na yéeney yóbbu ko ci kanamu Yawut ya gannaaw màggalu bésu Jéggi ba.

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

⁵ Noonu ñuy wottu Piyeer ca kaso ba, waaye mbooloom ñi gëm di ko ñaanal Yàlla ak seen xol bépp.

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.

⁶ Bi Erodd nekkee ci tànki indilu ko, ca guddi googa yeewoon nañu Piyeer ak ñaari càllala, muy nelaw diggante ñaari xarekat, te ay xarekat di wottu buntu kaso ba.

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.

⁷ Ca saa sa malaakam Boroom bi ñëw, te leer ne ràyy ca néeg ba. Malaaka ma dóor Piyeer ci wetam, yee ko ne ko: «Jógal bu gaaw!» Noonu jéng ya rot ciy loxoom.

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.

⁸ Malaaka ma ne ko: «Takkal sa geño te sol say dàll.» Mu def ko. Malaaka ma ne ko: «Solal sa mbubb te topp ci man.»

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.

⁹ Piyeer génn, topp ca malaaka ma, fekk gëmul sax ne lu am la, waaye mu yaakaar ne peeñu la.

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.

¹⁰ Noonu ñu weesu wottukat bu jëkk ba ak ba ca tegu, ñu agsi ca buntu weñ, ba jëm ca dëkk ba, mu daldi ubbikul boppam ci seen kanam. Ñu génn nag, jaar ci benn mbedd, malaaka ma daldi ko bàyyi.

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.

¹¹ Bi xelam dellusee ci moom Piyeer ne: «Léegi xam naa ci lu wóor ne, Boroom bi yónni na malaakaam, musal ma ci loxoy Erodd ak li ma Yawut ya yéene woon lépp.»

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.

¹² Mu rabal xelam ci loolu, daldi dem kër Maryaama, ndeyu Yowaana, mi ñuy wooye Màrk, fekk ñu bare booloo fa, di ñaan ci Yàlla.

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

¹³ Noonu Piyeer fëgg buntu kër ga, te mbindaan mu tudd Rodd wuyusi ko.

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.

¹⁴ Mu xàmmi baatu Piyeer, bég ci, ba fàtte koo ubbil, waaye mu daw ci biir, xamle ne Piyeer a nga ca bunt ba.

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

¹⁵ Ñu ne ko: «Xanaa dangaa dof.» Waaye mu dëgër ci li mu wax. Noonu ñu ne ko: «Xanaa malaakaam la.»

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

¹⁶ Fekk Piyeer di gën a fëgg. Noonu ñu tijji, gis ko, daldi waaru.

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.

¹⁷ Piyeer taf loxoom ci gémmiñam, ngir ñu noppi, daldi leen nettali, ni ko Boroom bi génnee ca kaso ba. Mu ne leen: «Tee ngeen jottali ko Saag ak bokk ya.» Bi mu ko waxee, mu jóge fa, dem feneen.

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

¹⁸ Bi bët setee nag, yengu-yengu bu réy am na ca xarekat ya, ñu ne: «Ana Piyeer?»

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.

¹⁹ Noonu Erodd wutlu ko, waaye gisu ko. Kon mu àtte wottukat ya, joxe ndigalu rey leen. Bi loolu amee Erodd jóge ci diiwaanu Yude, dem dëkku Sesare, toog fa.

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.

²⁰ Fekk mu nekk ci xëccoo bu tàng ak waa dëkki Tir ak Sidon. Naka noona ñu ànd, bëgg koo gis. Ñu neexal Balastus, bëkk-néegu buur ba, di ñaan jàmm, ndaxte réewu buur ba moo doon dundal seen bos.

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

²¹ Ca bés ba ñu jàpp nag Erodd sol mbubbi buuram, toog ca jal ba ca àttekaay ba, di leen yedd ak a dénk.

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

²² Noonu mbooloo mi di yuuxu naan: «Lii baatu Yàlla la, du baatu nit!»

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.

²³ Ca saa sa nag, gannaaw màggalul Yàlla, malaakam Boroom bi fàdd ko te ay sax dugg ko, ba mu dee.

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴ Moona kàddug Boroom bi di gën a màgg tey law.

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

²⁵ Naka Barnabas ak Sool, bi ñu matalee seen liggéey, ñu jóge Yerusalem, ñibbi, ànd ak Yowaana mi tudd Màrk.
