Acts 12
1 Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
Ke pacl se inge Tokosra Herod el mutawauk in akkeokye pac kutu mwet in church uh.
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
El sap anwuki James, tamulel lal John, ke cutlass.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
Ke el liye lah ma se inge akinsewowoye mwet Jew uh, na el sifilpa sap in sruoh Peter. (Ma se inge sikyak ke pacl in Kufwen Bread Tia Akpulol.)
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.
Tukun sruoh Peter, sisiyang el nu in presin, yen ma el taranyuk sin u in mwet mweun akosr, kais akosr mwet mweun ke kais u se. Herod el ako in nununkeyuk Peter ye mutun mwet uh tukun Kufwen Alukela uh.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
Ouinge elos fililya na in presin, tusruktu mwet in church uh arulana moniyuk in pre nu sin God kacl.
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.
Fong se meet liki Herod el akoo in usalu Peter in nununkeyuk el, Peter el oan motul inmasrlon mwet mweun luo. Sein lukwa sang kaprilya, ac oasr pac mwet mweun topang ke mutunoa ah.
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.
In kitin pacl ah na lipufan se lun Leum tu insac, ac kalem se sarmelik infukil in presin. Lipufan sac sruokya finpisal Peter ac oaksalak ac fahk, “Sulaklak, tukakek!” In pacl sacna sein ah putatla liki paol Peter.
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.”
Na lipufan sac fahk, “Losya infulwom ac fahlukyang.” Peter el oru oana ke el fahk ah, na lipufan sac fahk, “Sang nuknuk lik lom an afinkomi, ac fahsru fahsr tukuk.”
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.
Peter el fahsr tokol ac illa liki presin, tusruktu el tia arulana etu lah ma na pwaye pa lipufan sac oru ah; el nunku mu aruruma se pa el liye ah.
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.
Eltal fahsr alukela un mwet topang se meet ac oayapa u se akluo ah, na eltal fah sun mutunpot osra se ma oatula nu ke siti ah. Mutunoa sac sifacna ikakla nu seltal, na eltal illa nu lik ah. Eltal fahla ke inkanek soko, na in kitin pacl ah na lipufan sac wanginla.
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.”
Na Peter el akilenak ma orek nu sel uh, ac el fahk, “Inge nga etu lah ma na pwaye se pa inge! Leum El supwama lipufan se lal in tuleyula liki ku lal Herod uh, ac liki ma nukewa ma mwet Jew uh kena in sikyak nu sik uh.”
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.
Ke el akilenak ma orek nu sel inge, el som nu ke lohm sel Mary, nina kial John Mark, yen mwet puspis tukeni we ac pre.
13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Peter el tongol srungul ke mutunpot ah, na sie mutan kulansap pangpang Rhoda el tuku in liye lah su tongol.
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.
El akilenak pusracl Peter, ac ke yohk engan lal el tia ikasla srungul uh, a el kasrusr folokyak nu in lohm ah, ac fahkak lah Peter el a tu likinum ah.
15 They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
Ac elos fahk nu sel, “Kom wella!” A el sruasralana in fahk mu pwayena, na elos fahk, “Sahp lipufan se lal pa ingan.”
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
In pacl sac Peter el srakna towol srungul ah. Na elos ikasla srungul uh, ac ke elos liyal elos arulana fwefela.
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.
El oru paol tuh elos in misla, na el fahkak nu selos ouiya ma Leum el oru nu sel in tulalla liki presin. Na el fahk, “Fahkang ma inge nu sel James ac mwet lulalfongi ngia.” Na el som lukelos nu ke sie pacna acn.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
In lotu tok ah oasr fohsak na yohk inmasrlon mwet topang ke presin uh — elos suk lah mea sikyak nu sel Peter.
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.
Herod el sapkin in sukok el, tuh elos tia ku in konalak. Ke ma inge el sap in siyukyuk sin mwet topang ke presin uh, tari el sap in anwuki elos. Tukun ma inge Herod el som liki acn Judea ac muta in Caesarea ke kutu pacl.
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.
Herod el arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet Tyre ac Sidon, ke ma inge elos toeni nu ke u sefanna ac som in osun nu sel. Ma se meet elos oru pa elos sakunla inkanek lalos yorol Blastus su karingin inkul fulat uh, ac el insese in kasrelos. Toko elos som nu yorol Herod ac siyuk sel ke misla, mweyen acn lal tokosra uh pa kite acn selos ke mwe mongo uh.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
Ke sun len se ma solla nu selos, Herod el nokomang nuknuk in tokosra lal, muta fin tron lal ac oru sramsram lal nu sin mwet uh.
22 The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
Elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Tia mwet se pa kaskas inge, a god se!”
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.
In pacl sacna lipufan se lun God kipakinilya Herod nu infohk uh, mweyen el tia akfulatye God. Wet uh kangla insial ac el misa.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
In pacl se inge kas lun God uh fahsrelik na ac kapkapak.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
Barnabas ac Saul aksafyela orekma laltal uh ac folokla liki acn Jerusalem. Eltal usal John Mark welultal.
