Acts 12
1 Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
E kindeno ruoth Herode nomako jo-Kristo moko, kendo nochano mar negogi.
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
Ne ogolo chik mi oneg Jakobo owad gi Johana gi ligangla.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
Kane oneno ka timneno nomoro jo-Yahudi, nodhi nyime momako Petro bende. Mano notimore e ndalo Sap Makati ma ok oketie Thowi.
4 When 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.
Kane osemake, nokete e od twech, kendo noketo migepe angʼwen mag askeche, ma moro ka moro otingʼo jorit angʼwen, mondo orite. Herode ne chano mondo ogole oko bangʼ Pasaka mondo oyale e nyim oganda.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
Kuom mano, Petro nokan e od twech, to kanisa to ne lamone Nyasaye ahinya.
6 The 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.
Otieno motelone chiengʼ mane Herode chano goloe Petro oko mondo oyale, negikete onindo e kind askeche ariyo, ka otweye gi nyoroche ariyo, kendo ka askeche mamoko bende rite kochungʼ e dhood twech.
7 And 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 his hands.
Apoya nono malaika mar Ruoth nofwenyore, mi ler norieny ei od twech. Noyuko Petro mochiewe kowacho niya, “Aa malo piyo.” Gikanyono nyoroche mane otwego Petro nolwar piny.
8 The 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.”
Malaika nomedo wachone niya, “Rwak lepi gi wuocheni.” Petro notimo kamano. Malaika nochako okone niya, “Koro rwak kodi mondo iluwa!”
9 And 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.
Petro noluwo bangʼe kowuok e od twech, to kata kamano pache ne pok odwogo mondo ofwenyne ni gima malaika ne timono en adier, to noparo mana ni oleko.
10 When 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.
Ne gikalo jorit mokwongo, gi mar ariyo mi gichopo e ranga chuma mane iwuokgo e od twech kidonjo e dala maduongʼ. Rangano noyawrenigi kende mine gikadho. Kane gisewuotho mabor mochwalore gi od twech, to nopo ka malaika oseweye.
11 When 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.”
Bangʼe pach Petro noduogo mi owacho niya, “Koro angʼeyo maonge kiawa ni Ruoth nooro malaikane mi oresa e twech Herode, kendo osemiyo atony e gimoro amora marach ma jo-Yahudi ne chano timona.”
12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
Kane osengʼeyo gima notimorene, nodhi nyaka od Maria min Johana, ma niluongo bende ni Mariko, kendo kanyo ji nochokore mangʼeny ka gilamo Nyasaye.
13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Kane Petro oduongʼo dhoot ma oko, to nyako moro ma jatich miluongo ni Roda nobiro mondo oyawne.
14 When 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.
To ka nochamo dwond Petro, nodoko mamor ahinya mi noringo odok ei ot kapok oyawone. Nonyiso jogo mane ni e ot kopongʼ gimor niya, “Petro ni e dhoot!”
15 They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
To jogo nokwere kawacho niya, “Wiyi rach!” Ka nyakono nomedo ramo ni Petro ne ni e dhoot adier, negiwachone niya, “Mano nyaka bedi mana malaikane!”
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
To Petro nomedo dwongʼo dhoot, kendo kane giyawo dhoot mi ginene, to dhogi nomoko.
17 But 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.
Petro notingʼo lwete malo mondo gilingʼ, eka nonyisogi yo mane Ruoth ogolego e od twech. Nowachonegi niya, “Nyisuru Jakobo gi jowete mamoko gima nosetimore.” Bangʼe noa kanyo modhi kamachielo.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
Kinyne gokinyi kihondko maduongʼ nomako jolweny mane oket mondo orite e od twech. Negipenjore niya, “Angʼo ma dibed nosetimore ni Petro?”
19 When Herod had sought for him and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
Herode nogolo chik mondo omany Petro, to ne ok ginyal yude. Kuom mano, nonono jorit od twech mondo ginyise kuma Petro odhiye, eka nogolo chik mondo oneg joritogi. Kindeno Herode nodar Judea modhi odak Kaisaria kuom ndalo manok.
20 Now 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.
Noyudo en-gi mirima kod jo-Turo gi jo-Sidon. Kuom mano jo-Turo kod jo-Sidon ne joriwore mi giloso thuolo mar romo gi Herode. Ne gitudore gi Blasto, mane en jatich ruoth mogeno, eka negiyudo yo mar loso kwe gi ruoth, nikech chiembgi ne wuok e piny Herode.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
Odiechiengʼ mane onego giromieno, Herode ne orwako lepe mag ruoth mi obet e kome mar loch mi ochako wuoyo gi ji.
22 The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
To jogo nogoyo koko kawacho niya, “Mano dwond Nyasaye, ok en dwond dhano!”
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.
Gikanyono malaika mar Ruoth nogoyo Herode piny, nikech ne ok omiyo Nyasaye duongʼ kendo kute nochamo ringre, mi otho.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Wach Nyasaye nomedo dhi nyime kendo nomedo landore.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
Kane Barnaba gi Saulo nosetieko tijgi, negidwogo ka gia Jerusalem ka gin gi Johana ma bende iluongo ni Mariko.
