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.

¹And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly,

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

²and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword,

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.)

³and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also — and they were the days of the unleavened food —

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]

⁴whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.

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

⁵Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him,

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.

⁶and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison,

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.

⁷and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, `Rise in haste,` and his chains fell from off [his] hands.

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

⁸The messenger also said to him, `Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;` and he did so; and he saith to him, `Put thy garment round and be following me;`

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

⁹and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision,

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.

¹⁰and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.

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.

¹¹And Peter having come to himself, said, `Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;`

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.

¹²also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.

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

¹³And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda,

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.

¹⁴and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,

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

¹⁵and they said unto her, `Thou art mad;` and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, `It is his messenger;`

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

¹⁶and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,

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.

¹⁷and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these things;` and having gone forth, he went on to another place.

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

¹⁸And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,

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.

¹⁹and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea, he was abiding [there].

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]

²⁰And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king`s;

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

²¹and on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making an oration unto them,

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

²²and the populace were shouting, `The voice of a god, and not of a man;`

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.

²³and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.

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]

²⁴And the word of God did grow and did multiply,

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]

²⁵and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with [them] John, who was surnamed Mark.
