¹Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.

¹Huan, huai lai khawngin Kumpipa Herodin saptuamte laka kuate hiam hihgim tumin a khut a likta a.

²He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.

²Huan, Jakob, Johan unau, temsauin a sat lum hi.

³When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.

³Huaiin Judate a kipaksak chih a theihin, Peter leng mat a tum jel a. (Huai nite tuh tanghou silngou sohlouh ni ahi).

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.

⁴Huan, a mat nungin suangkulh ah a khuma, sepaih pawl li, li chiat jelin, a ven khel saka; Paikan Ankuanglui nungin mi tengteng kiangah pi khiak a tum a.

⁵Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.

⁵Huaijiakin Peter tuh suangkulh ah a omsak tadih hi; himahleh, saptuamten amah a dingin phatuamngaitakin Pathian kiangah a thumsak sak uh.

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.

⁶Huan, Herodin a pi khiak dingin, huai jan takin Peter tuh sepaih nih kikalah khainiang nih bunin a ihmu a; a vengte leng kongkhak bul ah a om uhi, suangkulh a veng uh.

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.

⁷Huan, ngai in, Toupa angel khat a kiangah a hong dinga, suangkulh sungah vak a hongtangta a; huan, Peter nak ah a beng halha, Thou meng in, a chi a. Huan, a khainiangte a khut akipan a ke suk a.

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.”

⁸Huan angelin a kiangah, na puan silh inla, na khetuam bun in, a chi a. Huan aman huchibangin a hih a. Huan, angelin, a kiangah, na puan silh hoih inla, honjui in, a chi a.

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.

⁹Huan, Peter a pawta, a juita a, a ngel tatdan a tak a hih a theikeia, mengmu banga a muh ahia eita a chi a.

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.

¹⁰Huan, chingmi masa leh a zom a khen nung un khopi lutna sik kongpi a vatung ua, huai tuh amau adingin a kihong tawmta a; huan, a pawt ua, kongzing khat a kheng ua; huah, angelin a paisan pahta hi.

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.”

¹¹Huan, Peter a halh takin, Toupan a angel a sawlkhia a, Herod khut leh Juda mite lametna teng teng akipanin a honhumhingta chih tuin diktakin ka theita, a chi a.

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.

¹²Huan, a kingaihtuah khitin, Johan, Marka a chih uh, huai nu Mari in ah a vahoh a; huaiah tuh thumin mi tampi a naom khawm ua.

¹³When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.

¹³Huan, kongpi kongkhak a kiuh takin, a min, Roda, nungak khat a dawng dingin a va hoha.

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.

¹⁴Huan, Peter aw a jak takin, a kipah jiakin kong hong louin a tailut nawn zosopta a, kongkhak bul ah Peter a ding chih a vagen a.

¹⁵They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”

¹⁵Himahleh, amau, a kiangah, hai neita ve, a nachi ua. Aman bel, hi petmah ahi, chiin, a pang teitei a. Huan, amau a angel hiin teh, a chi ua.

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

¹⁶Himahleh, Peterin a kiukiu a; huan, a hon uleh, amah a mu ua, lamdang a sa mahmah uh.

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.

¹⁷Huchiin, aman a daihna ding un, khutin a japa, Pathianin suangkulh akipan amah a pikhiak dan khawng a hilhta a. Huan, hiai thute Jakob leh unaute kiangah vahilh un, a chi a. Huan, a pawta, mun dangah a vapai a.

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

¹⁸Huan, ni a suah takin, sepaihte tuh Peter koia om ahia, chiin buai chihtakin a buai uhi.

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.

¹⁹Huan, Herodin a zonga, a mu keia, a chingte a enchiana, thah dingin thu a peta ahi. Huan, Judi agama kipan Kaisari khua ah a hoh suka, huaiah a om nilouh hi.

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.

²⁰Huan, Tura leh Sidon khuaa mite tungah a lunghikei mahmaha, huan, amau, Blasta, kumpipa lupna ngakpa, a jawlin a bawl ua, thu khat satin a kiangah a hongpai ua, a kho lamte uh kumpipa kholama pukto jel ahih jiak un kituahna a ngen ua.

²¹On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.

²¹Huan, a ni chiam niin kumpipa Herodin kumpipa puan a silha, a kiang uah thu a gena.

²²The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”

²²Huan, mi tengtengin, Pathian ahi, mihing aw ahi kei, a chi ua, a kikou ua.

²³Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

²³Huan, aman Pathian kianga pahtawina a piak louh jiakin Toupa angelin amah a man pah ngala, hutin ane a, a sita hi.

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴Pathian thu bel a dalha, a pung jela.Huan, Barnaba leh Sualain na a sep khit un, Jerusalem khua akipan a kik nawnta ua, Johan, Marka a chih uh, a tonpih uh.

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.

²⁵Huan, Barnaba leh Sualain na a sep khit un, Jerusalem khua akipan a kik nawnta ua, Johan, Marka a chih uh, a tonpih uh.
