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

¹Sa ande kodia vriama o amperato Herod chinuilas uni manushen kai sas Devleske andel khangeria.

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

²Ai mudardia la sabiasa o James, ophral le Iovanosko.

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

³Ai dikhlia ke so kerelas drago sas le Zhidovonge, phendia te phandaven le Petres. Kodia kerdilia ande vriama le manrhonge bi drozhdi.

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.

⁴Line les, ai thode les ande temnitsa, ai thode desh u shov ketani te arakhen les; ai mangen te sikaven les angla narodo pala E Patradi.

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

⁵O Petri sas phandado ande temnitsa; numa e khangeri chi terdiolas te rhugilpe ka Del anda leste.

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.

⁶Iek riat mai anglal kai o amperato Herod zhalas te angerel le Petres angla narodo, o Petri sovelas ai phanglo sas dui lantsonsa mashkar dui ketani; ai aver ketani lenas sama angla wudar katar e temnitsa.

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.

⁷Eta, o angelo le Devlesko avilo, ai ek bari vediara strefialas ande temnitsa. O angelo wushtiardia le Petres, ai phenel leske, "Wushti opre strazo," ai le lantsuria pele tele katar leske vas.

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.”

⁸Ai o angelo phendia leske, "Tho chi prashtai ai le shpargati." Ai o Petri kerdia so phendia leske, o angelo mai phendia leske, "Le pe tute chi raxami, ai aidi pala mande."

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.

⁹O Petri anklisto avri, ai liape pala leste, ai chi zhanelas ke so kerelas o angelo, chache sas, gindilas ke vizion dikhelas.

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.

¹⁰Kana nakhle anglal pervo ketani ai porme anglal duito, aresle angla o wudar o sastruno kai angerel ando foro, kodo wudar phuterdiol korkorho angla lende, ankliste avri, ai dine po drom, ai strazo o angelo meklia le Petres.

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.”

¹¹Avilo peste o Petri ai mothol, akana dikhav ke chaches O Del tradia peske angelos, ai ke lia ma anda vas le amperatosko, ai so godi le Zhiduvuria azhukerenas.

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.

¹²Kana haliardia so kerdilia lesa, gelo ka kher la Mariako, woi sas e dei la Iovanoski, kai akharenas les Mark, kotse but narodo sas andek than ai rhuginaspe.

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

¹³O Petri mardia anda o wudar, ai ek shei kai busholas Rhode, avili te dikhel.

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.

¹⁴Ai prinzhardia o glaso le Petresko, ai ando pesko raduimos chi phuterdia o wudar, numa geli te mothol le kolavrenge ke o Petri angla o wudar sas.

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

¹⁵Won mothonas lake, "Dzili san," numa woi motholas ke chaches sas. Ai won mothonas, "Ke lesko angelo si."

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

¹⁶Numao Petri mai marelas anda o wudar, ai kana phuterde o wudar ai dikhle les, chudisaile.

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.

¹⁷Kerdia lenge anda vas te na kerren mui, ai phendia lenge sar O Del lia les avri andai temnitsa. Ai phendia, phenen so kerdilia le Jamesoske ai le kolaver phralenge. Porme gelotar, ai gelo ande kolaver rik.

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

¹⁸Kana phuterdilo o dies, le ketani chi haliarenas so kerdilia, ai chi zhanenas kai sas o Petri.

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.

¹⁹Ai kana o amperato Herod rodia les, chi arakhe les, ai phushlia katar le bare, ai dia ordina te mudaren le ketanen kai lenas sama lestar.Porme o Herod gelo andai Judea zhando Casarea, te beshel kotse xantsi vriama.

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.

²⁰O Herod defial xoliariko sas po narodo kai sas ando Tyre ai ando Sidon, numa won avile karing leste. Line pesa pe penge rik, ieka ketani kai busholas Blastus, wo sas pasha amperato, porme gele te mangen katar o Herod e pacha lensa, ke won lestar anenas xaben ande pengo them katar o amperato.

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

²¹O dies kai manglia o Herod, liape peste peske tsalia le amperetsisko , ai beshlo po skamin, ai dia lensa duma angla savorhende.

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

²²Ai o narodo tsipilas, phenenas, "Nai kado manush kai del duma, numa del si."

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

²³Numa strazo o angelo le Devlesko naswardia (dia palma) le amperatos, ke mangelas te garavel pesko barimos, kai trobulas le Devleske te avel, le rhimi xale les, ai mulo.

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴E Vorba le Devleski ashundilias mai but ai mai but.

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.

²⁵Kana o Barnabas ai o Saul getosarde penge buchi avile palpale anda Jerusalem, angerde pesa le Iovanos kai akharenas les Mark.
