¹ Ca jamono jooja Erodd buur ba jàppoon na ay nit ci mbooloom ñi gëm, ngir fitnaal leen.

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

² Noonu mu daldi jàpp Saag, doomu ndeyu Yowaana, mu reylu ko ci jaasi.

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

³ Bi mu gisee nag ne, mbir moomu neex na Yawut ya, mu daldi jàpp it Piyeer; fekk loolu daje ak bési màggalu Yawut, ga ñuy wax Mburu ya amul lawiir.

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 —

⁴ Bi mu ko jàppee, mu tëj ko kaso, teg ko ci loxoy ñeenti mboolooy xarekat, ngir ñu wottu ko, fekk mbooloo mu ci nekk di ñeenti nit; amoon na yéeney yóbbu ko ci kanamu Yawut ya gannaaw màggalu bésu Jéggi ba.

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.

⁵ Noonu ñuy wottu Piyeer ca kaso ba, waaye mbooloom ñi gëm di ko ñaanal Yàlla ak seen xol bépp.

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

⁶ Bi Erodd nekkee ci tànki indilu ko, ca guddi googa yeewoon nañu Piyeer ak ñaari càllala, muy nelaw diggante ñaari xarekat, te ay xarekat di wottu buntu kaso ba.

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,

⁷ Ca saa sa malaakam Boroom bi ñëw, te leer ne ràyy ca néeg ba. Malaaka ma dóor Piyeer ci wetam, yee ko ne ko: «Jógal bu gaaw!» Noonu jéng ya rot ciy loxoom.

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.

⁸ Malaaka ma ne ko: «Takkal sa geño te sol say dàll.» Mu def ko. Malaaka ma ne ko: «Solal sa mbubb te topp ci man.»

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;`

⁹ Piyeer génn, topp ca malaaka ma, fekk gëmul sax ne lu am la, waaye mu yaakaar ne peeñu la.

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,

¹⁰ Noonu ñu weesu wottukat bu jëkk ba ak ba ca tegu, ñu agsi ca buntu weñ, ba jëm ca dëkk ba, mu daldi ubbikul boppam ci seen kanam. Ñu génn nag, jaar ci benn mbedd, malaaka ma daldi ko bàyyi.

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.

¹¹ Bi xelam dellusee ci moom Piyeer ne: «Léegi xam naa ci lu wóor ne, Boroom bi yónni na malaakaam, musal ma ci loxoy Erodd ak li ma Yawut ya yéene woon lépp.»

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;`

¹² Mu rabal xelam ci loolu, daldi dem kër Maryaama, ndeyu Yowaana, mi ñuy wooye Màrk, fekk ñu bare booloo fa, di ñaan ci Yàlla.

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.

¹³ Noonu Piyeer fëgg buntu kër ga, te mbindaan mu tudd Rodd wuyusi ko.

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

¹⁴ Mu xàmmi baatu Piyeer, bég ci, ba fàtte koo ubbil, waaye mu daw ci biir, xamle ne Piyeer a nga ca bunt ba.

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,

¹⁵ Ñu ne ko: «Xanaa dangaa dof.» Waaye mu dëgër ci li mu wax. Noonu ñu ne ko: «Xanaa malaakaam la.»

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

¹⁶ Fekk Piyeer di gën a fëgg. Noonu ñu tijji, gis ko, daldi waaru.

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

¹⁷ Piyeer taf loxoom ci gémmiñam, ngir ñu noppi, daldi leen nettali, ni ko Boroom bi génnee ca kaso ba. Mu ne leen: «Tee ngeen jottali ko Saag ak bokk ya.» Bi mu ko waxee, mu jóge fa, dem feneen.

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.

¹⁸ Bi bët setee nag, yengu-yengu bu réy am na ca xarekat ya, ñu ne: «Ana Piyeer?»

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

¹⁹ Noonu Erodd wutlu ko, waaye gisu ko. Kon mu àtte wottukat ya, joxe ndigalu rey leen. Bi loolu amee Erodd jóge ci diiwaanu Yude, dem dëkku Sesare, toog fa.

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].

²⁰ Fekk mu nekk ci xëccoo bu tàng ak waa dëkki Tir ak Sidon. Naka noona ñu ànd, bëgg koo gis. Ñu neexal Balastus, bëkk-néegu buur ba, di ñaan jàmm, ndaxte réewu buur ba moo doon dundal seen bos.

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;

²¹ Ca bés ba ñu jàpp nag Erodd sol mbubbi buuram, toog ca jal ba ca àttekaay ba, di leen yedd ak a dénk.

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,

²² Noonu mbooloo mi di yuuxu naan: «Lii baatu Yàlla la, du baatu nit!»

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

²³ Ca saa sa nag, gannaaw màggalul Yàlla, malaakam Boroom bi fàdd ko te ay sax dugg ko, ba mu dee.

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.

²⁴ Moona kàddug Boroom bi di gën a màgg tey law.

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

²⁵ Naka Barnabas ak Sool, bi ñu matalee seen liggéey, ñu jóge Yerusalem, ñibbi, ànd ak Yowaana mi tudd Màrk.

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