Eginak 12
1 Eta dembora berean iar cedin regue Herodes Eliçaco batzuén affligitzen.
Around this time King Herod began to persecute some members of the church.
2 Eta hil ceçan Iacques Ioannesen anayea, ezpataz.
He had James, John's brother, executed by sword.
3 Eta ikussiric hori laket çayela Iuduey, auança cedin Pierrisen-ere hatzamaitera: (eta ciraden altchagarri gaberico oguién egunac)
When he saw that the Jews were pleased by this, he had Peter arrested too. (This was during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.)
4 Eta hatzamanic eçar ceçan presoindeguian, eta eman ciecén laur laurnazco gendarmesi beguiratzera: bazco ondoan hura populuari presentatu nahiz.
After having Peter arrested, he threw him in prison, with four squads of four soldiers each to guard him. He planned to have Peter brought out for a public trial after the Passover.
5 Pierris bada beguiratzen çutén presoindeguian: baina Eliçác harengatic ardura Iaincoari othoitz eguiten ceraucan.
While Peter was kept in prison the church prayed earnestly to God for him.
6 Eta Herodesec hura presentatzeco çuenean, gau hartan lo cetzan Pierris bi gendarmesen artean, bi cadenaz estecatua, eta goardéc borthaitzinean beguiratzen çutén presoindeguia.
The night before Herod was to have him put on trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, chained to each of them, and with guards at the door keeping watch.
7 Eta huná, Iaunaren Ainguerubat ethor cedin, eta arguibatec argui ceçan presoindeguian, eta ioric Pierrisen seihetsa, iratzar ceçan, cioela, Iaiqui adi fitetz, eta eror cequizquión cadenác escuetaric.
Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. The angel shook Peter awake, saying “Quick! Get up!” The chains fell from his wrists,
8 Eta erran cieçón Aingueruäc, Guerricadi, eta iaunz itzac eure sandaleac. Eta eguin ceçan hala. Guero erran cieçón, Har eçac eure arropá, eta arreit niri.
and the angel told him, “Get dressed, and put on your sandals.” So he did. Then the angel told him, “Put on your coat and follow me.”
9 Eta ilkiric Pierris iarreiqui cequión, eta etzaquian eguia cenez Aingueruäz eguiten cena: baina vste çuen cembeit visione ikusten çuela.
So Peter followed the angel out. He didn't realize that what the angel was doing was actually happening—he thought he was seeing a vision.
10 Eta iraganic lehen goardia eta bigarrena, ethor citecen burdinazco borthara, ciuitatera daramanera, cein bere buruz irequi baitzequién, eta ilkiric iragan ceçaten karricabat, eta bertan parti cedin Aingueruä harenganic.
They passed the first and second sets of guards, and came to the iron gate that led into the city. This opened for them by itself. They went out and down the street, when suddenly the angel left him.
11 Orduan Pierrisec accordaturic erran ceçan, Orain daquit eguiazqui ecen Iaunac igorri vkan duela bere Aingueruä, eta idoqui nauela Herodesen escutic, eta Iuduén populuaren vstecari gucitaric.
When Peter came to his senses, he said, “Now I realize this really happened! The Lord sent an angel to rescue me from Herod's power, and from everything that the Jewish people had planned.”
12 Eta gauçá consideraturic ethor cedin Maria Ioannesen, icen goiticoz Marc deitzen cenaren amaren etchera, non baitziraden anhitz bilduac eta othoitze eguiten ceudela.
Now that he was conscious of what had happened, Peter went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark. Many believers had gathered there, and were praying.
13 Eta bulkatu çuenean Pierrisec etche aitzineco borthá, ilki cedin nescatobat behatzera, Rhode deitzen cenic.
When he knocked on the gateway door, a servant girl called Rhoda came to open up.
14 Eta eçaguturic Pierrisen voza, bozcarioz etzeçan irequi etche aitzineco borthá, baina barnera laster eguinic declara ciecén, Pierris borthaitzinean cegoela.
But recognizing Peter's voice, in her excitement she didn't open the door. Instead she ran back inside shouting, “Peter's at the door!”
15 Eta hec erran cieçoten, Erhoa aiz. Baina harc seguratzen çuen hala cela: eta hec cioiten, Haren Aingueruä dun.
“You're mad!” they told her. But she kept on insisting it was true. So they said, “It must be his angel.”
16 Baina Pierrisec bulkatzez perseueratzen çuen: eta irequiric, ikus ceçaten hura, eta spanta citecen.
Peter continued knocking. When they did eventually open the door, they saw it was him, and were totally shocked.
17 Eta hæy keinu eguinic escuaz ichil litecen, conta ciecén nola Iaunac idoqui çuen presoindeguitic: eta erran ciecén, Conta ietzeçue gauça hauc Iacquesi eta anayey. Eta ilkiric ioan cedin berce leku batetara.
Peter held up his hand for them to be quiet, and then explained to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. “Let James and the brothers know about this,” he told them, and then left to go somewhere else.
18 Baina arguitu cenean gudu handia cen gendarmesén artean eya Pierris cer eguin cen.
When daylight came the soldiers were totally confused as to what had happened to Peter.
19 Eta Herodesec hura galdeguinic eriden etzuenean, goardez informatione eguinic, mana ceçan punitzera eraman litecen: eta iautsiric Iudeatic Cesareara, han egon cedin.
Herod had a thorough search made for him, but he couldn't be found. After interrogating the guards, Herod ordered that they should be executed. Then Herod left Judea and went to stay in Caesarea.
20 Eta Herodesec çuen guerla eguiteco gogo Tyrianoén eta Sidonianoén contra: baina hec gogo batez ethor citecen harengana, eta irabaciric Blasto, cein baitzén regueren gamberaco guehién, baque esquez ceuden: ceren hayén comarcá reguerenetic entretenitzen baitzen.
Now Herod had become furious with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They sent a joint delegation to see him and managed to win Blastus, the king's personal assistant, over to their side. They pleaded for peace with Herod because they were dependent on the king's territory for food.
21 Eta egun assignatu batez, Herodesec regue arropaz veztituric, iudicioco iar lekuan iarriric, harengabat eguin ciecén.
When the day came for their appointment with the king, Herod put on his royal robes, sat on his throne, and gave a speech to them.
22 Eta populua oihuz iar cedin, Iaincoaren voza, eta ez guiçonarena!
The audience shouted in response, “This is the voice of a god, not that of a man!”
23 Eta bertan io ceçan hura Iaincoaren Aingueruäc, ceren ezpaitzeraucan Iaincoari gloria eman: eta harabarturic hil cedin.
Immediately the angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory. He was consumed by worms and died.
24 Baina Iaincoaren hitza auançatzen cen eta multiplicatzen.
But the word of God spread, and more and more people believed.
25 Barnabas-ere eta Saul itzul citecen Ierusalemetic, carguä complituric, berequin harturic Ioannes-ere icen goiticoz Marc deitzen cena.
Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem once they had finished their mission, taking John Mark with them.
