Katwa Nono Katwa 12
1 Nene nkoni kube Hirudus ugowe taa acara kitene namon ale na iwa di anang kilarin nlira anan wulakauta nani.
About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
2 A wa molu Yakubu ku gbanan Yohana nin kusangali.
He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
3 Na ayene imone ntaa Ayahudawe mang, anyaa cindu kitin Bitrus ku tutung, kone wadi kubin nborodin salin yeast.
And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
4 Na akifoghe, ataghe nanya kilari licin, na anang ncaa anit likure nin kutocin din ucaa me. A wadi nin su ada ninghe nanya nanit iwa malu ubukin Paska.
He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5 Bara nani iwa ceu Bitrus ku nanya kutii licin, bara nani iwa tizughe nlira nanya kutii nlira midya udu kiti Kutelle.
So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
6 Udu ukurtunun nkuiye na ima nutunghe ninkutike Bitrus wadin moro kiitik nanang ncaa me naba. Itereghe nin ninyeng iba anan caa kibulunghe nyenju kilari licine.
On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.
7 Gono kadura Kutelle daa kiti me, nkanang nin daa nanya kutiiye, akpeu Bitrus ku likot afyaghe anin woro, ““Fita mass.” Iyenghe nin deu nacara me.
Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.
8 Gono kadura Kutelle woroghe, “Shoono imoon fe nin nakpatak fe.” Bitrus ta nafo na ibelinghe ba. Gono kadura Kutelle woroghe, “Shoono kulutuk ku dya fe udofini.”
“Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
9 Bara nani Bitrus dofino gono kadura Kutelle udu udas. Na awa yiru imon ile na gono kadura Kutelle ntaaghe wa di kidegenere ba, a wadin su sa adi namoron wuiyari.
So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.
10 Na ikata kibulun kin funu nin kin ba, idaa kibulun nikora kaa na kipira nanya kagbirel kibulunghe puuno usamme, inuzu inyaa udu libau, gono kadura Kutelle nyaa a sunghe kikane.
They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left him.
11 Na Bitrus nzinto, a woro, “Nene nyino Kutelle ntuu gono kadure me ada tu cui nanya nacaran Hirudus, nin kpilizu unanzang na Yahudawa.”
Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”
12 Na ayinno nani, adaa ngan Maryamu unan Yohana ule na lisa lin ba me wa di Markus; anang yinu nin Kutelle gbardang wadi ku idin nlira.
And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.
13 Na a reu kibulunghe, nkung kubura kucin lisa me Rhoda da amada kpanghe.
He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
14 Na ayinno liwuin Bitrus, bara liburi liboo na ayino upunu kibulunghe ba; akpila nin cum udu nanya kutiiya; a benle nani au Bitrus yisin kibulung.
When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”
15 I woroghe, “Kibinai fe nwuluara so.” Ame dirtino nduu nanere, I woro “unang kadura mine.”
“You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
16 Bara nani Bulus leu ubun nfoo kibulunghe, na inin da punoo kibulunghe, itene amere umamaki kifo nani.
But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
17 Bitrus lirina nin nacara me au iti tik, anin belle nani inda na Kutelle nnutunghe nanya kilari licin, a woro, “Benleng ile imoone kitin Yakubu nin kagisin linwana.” Anin nyaa udu nkon kusari.
Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.
18 Na kitin shanta, manyardan madya wa fita nanya nanang ncaa kilari licine sa iyanghari nse Bitrus ku.
At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
19 Na Hirudus npiziraghe na ayeneghe ba, a tiro anang ncaa we aworo na imolu nani. Anin nyaa unuzu Yahudiya udu Ukasariya adi soo kikane.
After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.
20 Hirudus wa nana ayi nin nanitin Taya nin Sidon. I doo kiti me ligowe iresa Blastus, unan buunung ngowe, a buun nani, I pizira lisosin limang bara na imonli mine wa nucu ngangowere.
Now Herod was in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him. Having secured the support of Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their region depended on the king’s country for food.
21 Nlong liri Hirudus shono Imoon tigowe ada soo kitene kutet tigowe, anin benle nani uliru.
On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
22 Anite taa ntet I woro, “Lole liwui Kutelleari na lin nitari ba.”
And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
23 Kitene gono kadura Kutelle penghe bara na a wa zazin Kutelle ba; ishung wa lighe a kuu.
Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 Uliru Kutelle kuno kang unin maka kiti.
But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
25 Na Barnabas nin shawulu nsaa unuzun Urshalima, naimala kadura mine; I yira Yohana ku ule na lisa limba me wadi Markus.
When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
