¹At that time Herod the king laid his hands on some of those of the assembly to do them hurt,

¹[Ny amin'ny nanenjehana ny fiangonana, sy ny nanafahana an'i Petera tao an-tranomaizina] Ary tamin'izany andro izany Heroda mpanjaka naninjitra ny tànany hampahory ny sasany tamin'ny fiangonana.

²and slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.

²Ary izy namono an'i Jakoba, rahalahin'i Jaona, tamin'ny sabatra.

³And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he went on to take Peter also: (and they were the days of unleavened bread:)

³Ary rehefa hitany fa sitraky ny Jiosy izany, dia nandroso nisambotra an'i Petera koa izy. (Efa mby tamin'ny andro fihinanana ny mofo tsy misy masirasira tamin'izany.)

⁴whom having seized he put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep, purposing after the passover to bring him out to the people.

⁴Ary rehefa nosamboriny izy, dia nataony tao an-tranomaizina ka natolony tamin'ny miaramila enina ambin'ny folo hambenany; dia nikasa hamoaka azy ho eo amin'ny vahoaka izy, rehefa afaka ny Paska. [ Gr. miaramila efatra katernia; ny katernia iray dia miaramila efa-dahy]

⁵Peter therefore was kept in the prison; but unceasing prayer was made by the assembly to God concerning him.

⁵Ary Petera nambenana tao an-tranomaizina; ary ny fiangonana nahery nangataka tamin'Andriamanitra ho azy.

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

⁶Ary nony efa hamoaka azy Heroda, dia natory teo anelanelan'ny miaramila roa lahy Petera tamin'iny alina iny, sady voafatotra tamin'ny gadra roa izy; ary nisy mpiambina niambina ny tranomaizina teo am-baravarana.

⁷And lo, an angel of [the] Lord came there, and a light shone in the prison: and having smitten the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off his hands.

⁷Ary, indro, nisy anjelin'ny Tompo tonga teo, sady nisy mazava namirapiratra tao an-trano; ary izy nanohina ny tehezan'i Petera, dia namoha azy ka nanao hoe: Mitsangàna faingana. Dia niala tamin'ny tànany ny gadra.

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

⁸Ary hoy ilay anjely taminy: Misikina, ary fehezo ny kapanao. Dia nataony izany. Ary hoy koa izy taminy: Tafio ny lambanao, ka manaraha ahy.

⁹And going forth he followed [him] and did not know that what was happening by means of the angel was real, but supposed he saw a vision.

⁹Dia nivoaka izy ka nanaraka ary; ary tsy fantany ho marina izay nataon'ny anjely, fa nataony ho nahita fahitana ihany izy.

¹⁰And having passed through a first and second guard, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city, which opened to them of itself; and going forth they went down one street, and immediately the angel left him.

¹⁰Fa rehefa nandalo ny fiambenana voalohany sy faharoa izy, dia tonga teo amin'ny vavahady vy izay mahazo ny lalana ho any an-tanàna; ary nivoha ho azy io mba halehany; ary nony nivoaka izy, dia nandroso tamin'ny lalana iray; ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nandao azy i]ay anjely.

¹¹And Peter, being come to himself, said, Now I know certainly that [the] Lord has sent forth his angel and has taken me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

¹¹Ary rehefa nahatsiaro fanahy Petera, dia nanao hoe: Ankehitriny fantatro marina tokoa fa ny Tompo efa naniraka ny anjeliny ka namonjy ahy tamin'ny tànan'i Heroda sy ny fanantenan'ny Jiosy rehetra.

¹²And having become clearly conscious [in himself], he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.

¹²Ary rehefa fantany tsara izany, dia nankany an-tranon'i Maria, renin'i Jaona, izay atao hoe koa Marka, izy; ary nisy olona maro niangona nivavaka tao.

¹³And when he had knocked at the door of the entry, a maid came to listen, by name Rhoda;

¹³Ary raha nandondona ny vavahady Petera, dia nisy ankizivavy atao hoe Roda nankeo hihaino.

¹⁴and having recognised the voice of Peter, through joy did not open the entry, but running in, reported that Peter was standing before the entry.

¹⁴Ary rehefa nahalala ny feon'i Petera izy, dia tsy namoha ny vavahady noho ny hafaliany, fa lasa nihazakazaka ary niditra ka nilaza fa Petera no mijanona eo am-bavahady.

¹⁵And they said to her, Thou art mad. But she maintained that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.

¹⁵Fa hoy ny olona taminy: Very saina ianao. Fa izy nitompo rariny fa izany tokoa. Dia hoy indray ny olona: Anjeliny izany.

¹⁶But Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him and were astonished.

¹⁶Fa Petera naharitra nandòndòna ihany, ary rehefa novohany, dia nahita azy ireo ka talanjona.

¹⁷And having made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, he related [to them] how the Lord had brought him out of prison; and he said, Report these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out and went to another place.

¹⁷Fa izy nanofa tanana azy mba hangina, dia nanambara taminy izay namoahan'ny Tompo azy avy tao an-tranomaizina. Ary dia hoy izy: Ambarao amin'i Jakoba sy ny rahalahy izany zavatra izany. Dia niala izy ka lasa nankany amin'ny fitoerana hafa.

¹⁸And when it was day there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what then was become of Peter.

¹⁸Ary rehefa nazava ny andro, dia nifanaritaka be ihany ny miaramila ka nanao hoe: Nankaiza Petera?

¹⁹And Herod having sought him and not found him, having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be executed. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea and stayed [there].

¹⁹Ary rehefa nitady azy fatratra Heroda, fa tsy nahita, dia nadininy ny mpiambina ka nasainy novonoina. Ary Heroda nidina niala tany Jodia hankany Kaisaria, dia nitoetra tany.

²⁰And he was in bitter hostility with [the] Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and, having gained Blastus the king's chamberlain, sought peace, because their country was nourished by the king's.

²⁰Ary Heroda tezitra loatra tamin'ny Tyriana sy ny Sidoniana; fa niray saina kosa ireo ka nankany aminy, ary rehefa nahazo an'i Blasto, mpitandrina ny trano fandrian'ny mpanjaka, ho sakaizany, dia nangataka fihavanana, satria ny taniny nivelona tamin'ny tanin'i Heroda. [ Gr. ny mpanjaka]

²¹And on a set day, clothed in royal apparel and sitting on the elevated seat [of honour], Herod made a public oration to them.

²¹Ary tamin'ny andro voatendry dia niakanjo akanjom-panjakana Heroda ka nipetraka teo ambonin'ny seza fiandrianany, dia nikabary tamin'ny vahoaka.

²²And the people cried out, A god's voice and not a man's.

²²Ary ny vahoaka niantso hoe: Feon'Andriamanitra izany, fa tsy an'olona!

²³And immediately an angel of [the] Lord smote him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he expired, eaten of worms.

²³Ary niaraka tamin'izay dia nisy anjelin'ny Tompo namely azy, satria tsy nanome voninahitra an'Andriamanitra izy; ka dia nohanin'ny kankana izy ka maty.

²⁴But the word of God grew and spread itself.

²⁴Ary nandroso sy niely ny tenin'Andriamanitra.Ary Barnabasy sy Saoly niverina avy tany Jerosalema, rehefa vita ny fanompoany, dia nitondra an'i Jaona, izay atao hoe Marka, hiaraka aminy. [ Na: niverina tany]

²⁵And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled the service [entrusted to them], taking also with them John, surnamed Mark.

²⁵Ary Barnabasy sy Saoly niverina avy tany Jerosalema, rehefa vita ny fanompoany, dia nitondra an'i Jaona, izay atao hoe Marka, hiaraka aminy. [ Na: niverina tany]
