1Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
1Di lweqt-nni, agellid Hiṛudus yebda ițqehhiṛ inelmaden n tejmaɛt yellan di temdint n Lquds.
2He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
2Yefka lameṛ, ad nɣen s usekkin Yeɛqub gma-s n Yuḥenna.
3When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
3Mi gwala d ayen isfeṛḥen at Isṛail, yerna daɣen isseḥbes Butṛus, deg wussan n lɛid n leslak.
4When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
4Mi t-id-ṭṭfen, rran-t ɣer lḥebs. Isbedd-as taɛessast n ṛebɛa trebbaɛ n lɛeskeṛ, mkul tarbaɛt deg-s ṛebɛa iɛeskṛiwen ; yebɣa a t-icaṛeɛ zdat lɣaci meṛṛa, m'ara tɛeddi Tfaska n yizimer.
5Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
5Butṛus ihi yella di lḥebs ; ma ț-țajmaɛt n watmaten tezga di tẓallit, tdeɛɛu fell-as ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi.
6The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
6Iḍ-nni uqbel a t-icaṛeɛ Hiṛudus, Butṛus ițwarzen s snat snasel, yella iṭṭes ger sin iɛeskṛiwen , wiyaḍ ɛussen tawwurt n lḥebs.
7And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off from his hands.
7Taswiɛt kan, ataya lmelk n Sidi Ṛebbi iḍheṛ-as-d ; yiwet n tafat tameqqrant tceɛceɛ-ed di lḥebs-nni. Lmelk-nni yennul idis n Buṭrus, issendekwal-it-id yenna-yas : Ɣiwel Kker ! Imiren kan, qqeṛsent snasel-nni ɣlint-ed seg ifassen-is.
8The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak, and follow me.”
8Lmelk-nni yenna-yas : Els-ed arkasen-ik tbeggseḍ ɣef yiman-ik ! Buṭrus ixdem akken i s-d-yenna, lmelk yenna-yas-d daɣen : Sburr-ed abeṛnus-ik tettebɛeḍ-iyi-d !
9And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
9Butṛus ikker itbeɛ-it ; ur ifaq ara belli lmelk nni ț-țideț iḍheṛ-as-ed, inwa d aweḥḥi n Sidi Ṛebbi.
10When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
10Ɛeddan zdat tɛessast tamezwarut, rnan tis snat, wwḍen ɣer tewwurt n wuzzal yessufuɣen ɣer temdint, teldi weḥd-es ; ffɣen ɛeddan deg yiwet n tezniqt, imiren lmelk yexfa ger wallen n Buṭrus.
11When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”
11Mi d-yufa iman-is di beṛṛa, ifaq belli ț-țideț, Sidi Ṛebbi iceggeɛ-d lmelk-is, isellek-it-id seg-ufus n Hiṛudus akk-d lbaṭel i bɣan a s-t xedmen wat Isṛail.
12Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
12Mi gefhem lḥala i deg yella, ikker iṛuḥ ɣer wexxam n Meryem yemma-s n Yuḥenna iwumi qqaṛen daɣen Maṛqus, nnejmaɛen dinna waṭas n watmaten, deɛɛun ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi.
13When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.
13Mi gesqeṛbeb di tewwurt n beṛṛa, tusa-d yiwet n tqeddact isem-is Rudya, tqeṛṛeb ɣer tewwurt aț-țesmeḥses ;
14When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
14mi teɛqel taɣect n Buṭrus, di lfeṛḥ-nni i deg tella ur teldi ara tawwurt, tuzzel aț-țissiweḍ lexbaṛ belli Butṛus atan ibedd zdat tewwurt.
15They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
15Nnan-as : Waqila iffeɣ-ikem leɛqel ! Lameɛna teṭṭef deg wayen i d tenna.
16But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
16Nnan-as : Ahat d lexyal-is ihi ! Llan țemsteqsayen, ma d Butṛus mazal-it isqeṛbub-ed ; mi d-ldin tawwurt wehmen mi t-walan.
17But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James, and to the brothers.” Then he departed, and went to another place.
17Buṭrus iwehha-yasen s ufus-is ad ssusmen, yeḥka-yasen amek i t-id issufeɣ Sidi Ṛebbi si lḥebs, yenna yasen : Sṣiwḍet lexbaṛ-agi i Yeɛqub d watmaten. Dɣa iṛuḥ ibeddel amkan.
18Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
18Mi guli wass, lɛeskeṛ iɛussen Butṛus tqelqen, țmesteqsayen amek i geffeɣ si lḥebs, anwa i t-yessufɣen ?
19When Herod had sought for him, and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
19Hiṛudus iceggeɛ a t-id-qellben, meɛna ur t-ufin ara. Yebḥet iɛessasen-nni, dɣa yefka lameṛ a ten-nɣen ; imiren iṛuḥ si tmurt n Yahuda ɣer tmurt n Qiṣarya, anda yesɛedda kra n wussan.
20Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.
20Hiṛudus yerfa ɣef yimezdaɣ n temdinin n Sur akk d Sidun, lameɛna nutni mcawaṛen, msefhamen akk-d Blastus yellan d lewkil-is ; dɣa ceggɛen wid ara s-issutren lehna, axaṭer tamurt-nsen tețɛic seg wayen i d-itekken si tmurt n ugellid Hiṛudus.
21On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
21Yewweḍ-ed wass i deg ara d-yini Hiṛudus lxeṭba i lɣaci. Mi d-yewweḍ wass n temlilit, Hiṛudus yelsa llebsa n ugellid, yuli ɣer wemkan n lxeṭba ad immeslay i lɣaci.
22The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
22Mi gebda ameslay, lɣaci meṛṛa qqaṛen : D Ṛebbi i d-ițmeslayen, mačči d amdan !
23Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
23Imiren kan lmelk n Sidi Ṛebbi yesseɣli-d fell-as aṭan, axaṭer yeqbel a t-ḥesben yemdanen am Ṛebbi, iceggeɛ-as-d abeɛɛuc i t-yeččan dɣa yemmut ;
24But the word of God grew and multiplied.
24ma d awal n Sidi Ṛebbi țbecciṛen-t, yewweḍ ɣer mkul amkan.
25Barnabas and Saul returned to TR reads “from” instead of “to” Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
25Barnabas akk-d Caɛul mi fukken lxedma-nsen di temdint n Lquds uɣalen, wwin yid-sen Yuḥenna ițusemman Maṛqus.
