Acts 12
1 Around this time King Herod began to persecute some members of the church.
I ANSAU nanmarki Erodes pikikidi kame akai nan momodisou.
2 He had James, John's brother, executed by sword.
I ari kamata kila kodlas Iakopus ri en Ioanes.
3 When he saw that the Jews were pleased by this, he had Peter arrested too. (This was during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.)
A lao kilanger, me Sus oko peren kidar, ap pil saikidi Petrus. Nan i ansaun prot somut.
4 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.
A saikidi i o kilang i nan imateng, o kasilaki i pwin en saunpei paieu. Pamen me wia eu pwin, pwe murin pasa a men kasale ong pokon i.
5 While Peter was kept in prison the church prayed earnestly to God for him.
Petrus ari sensal nan imateng a momodisou poden kapakapki i ren Kot.
6 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.
Pongpong mon Erodes pan kasansaleda i, a saimokela nan pung en saunpei riamen, salikidi sal mata riapot. A silepa ko masamasan imateng mon wanim ko.
7 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,
A kilang, amen tounlang en Kaun o pwarado o marain eu sarada nan imateng o. I ari pikir Petrus ni pangepang o kapaurida i masani: Paurida pitipit! Sal mata ko ap pupedi sang ni lim a kan.
8 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.”
A tounlang masani ong i: Pirapirada o suteda! I ari wiadar met. A ap masani ong i: Upupedi o idauen ia do!
9 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.
I ari pedoido sang o idauenla i, o a sota dedeki, me melel en tounlang a wiawia. Pwe a kiki ong, me a auramandar.
10 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.
Ira lao kotin daulier pwin en silepa kaieu, o kariau, ira ap lel ong wanim mata, me salong kanim, i me pein ritida mo’ra. Ira ari kotila pon al apot. A tounlang ap madang kotin rir sang mo a.
11 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.”
A Petrus lao dedeki me wiauier, ap masaniada: I ap asa melel, me Kaun o kotin poronedo sapwilim a tounlang o kapit ia sang ni pa en Erodes o sang en Sus akan ar masamasan.
12 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.
A ni a kotin madamadaua, ap lel ong im en Maria in en Ioanes, me pil ad a Markus, wasa me toto pokon ia wia kapakap.
13 When he knocked on the gateway door, a servant girl called Rhoda came to open up.
A ni en Petrus a letelet ni wanim o, lidu men, ad a Rode, ap pwara dong rong.
14 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!”
A lao asa kapitie en Petrus, a sota ritingada wanim o pweki a peren. A a tanglong katitiki, me Petrus kot mon wanim o.
15 “You're mad!” they told her. But she kept on insisting it was true. So they said, “It must be his angel.”
A irail indai ong i: Koe iakala. A i kelail indada, me melel. Re ap inda: Kaidin i, a sapwilim a tounlang o.
16 Peter continued knocking. When they did eventually open the door, they saw it was him, and were totally shocked.
A Petrus wiawia leteleteta. Irail lao ritingada o kilanger i, re ap puriamui kilar.
17 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.
A i olole irail, en nenenla. A ap masani ong irail duen Kaun o, me kotin kalua i sang nan imateng o, o pil masanier: Kaireki Iakopus o saulang kan mepukat! I ap kotiei sang kotilang ekis wasa.
18 When daylight came the soldiers were totally confused as to what had happened to Peter.
A lao ran pasanger, saunpei kan ap puriamuiki kaualap en Petrus a pitilar.
19 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.
A Erodes lao idok o so diaradar, ap itetokenkone silepa ko o masani, ren kamela. I ari kotilang Säsarea sang Ierusalem kaukauson ia.
20 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.
A Erodes ongiongidar pan men Tirus o Sidon, re ap wiaki eu poto dong i kadekadeke Plastus saunkoa en nanmarki o poeki muei mau, pwe re kin memaureki sap en nanmarki.
21 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.
A kadekadeo eu ran Erodes ap puriong likau en nanmarki, kaipokedi pon mol o kapakaparok ong irail.
22 The audience shouted in response, “This is the voice of a god, not that of a man!”
A aramas akan ngisingis indada: Nan i kapitie en kot amen, a kaidin en aramas.
23 Immediately the angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory. He was consumed by worms and died.
A madang amen tounlang en Kaun o poki i, pweki a so wauneki Kot. A maas akan me kangala i; i ari mela.
24 But the word of God spread, and more and more people believed.
A masan en Kot pwaida o lok sili.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem once they had finished their mission, taking John Mark with them.
Parnapas i Paulus puredo sang Ierusalem, ira lao kanikielar ar dodok, o ira pil ukedo Ioanes, me ad a Markus.
