Acts 12
1 Now, about that time, King Herod arrested certain members of the Church, in order to ill-treat them;
Eta dembora berean iar cedin regue Herodes Eliçaco batzuén affligitzen.
2 and James, John's brother, he beheaded.
Eta hil ceçan Iacques Ioannesen anayea, ezpataz.
3 Finding that this gratified the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also; these being the days of Unleavened Bread.
Eta ikussiric hori laket çayela Iuduey, auança cedin Pierrisen-ere hatzamaitera: (eta ciraden altchagarri gaberico oguién egunac)
4 He had him arrested and lodged in jail, handing him over to the care of sixteen soldiers; and intended after the Passover to bring him out again to the people.
Eta hatzamanic eçar ceçan presoindeguian, eta eman ciecén laur laurnazco gendarmesi beguiratzera: bazco ondoan hura populuari presentatu nahiz.
5 So Peter was kept in prison; but long and fervent prayer was offered to God by the Church on his behalf.
Pierris bada beguiratzen çutén presoindeguian: baina Eliçác harengatic ardura Iaincoari othoitz eguiten ceraucan.
6 Now when Herod was on the point of taking him out of prison, that very night Peter was asleep between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards were on duty outside the door.
Eta Herodesec hura presentatzeco çuenean, gau hartan lo cetzan Pierris bi gendarmesen artean, bi cadenaz estecatua, eta goardéc borthaitzinean beguiratzen çutén presoindeguia.
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell; and, striking Peter on the side, he woke him and said, "Rise quickly." Instantly the chains dropped off his wrists.
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.
8 "Fasten your girdle," said the angel, "and tie on your sandals." He did so. Then the angel said, "Throw your cloak round you, and follow me."
Eta erran cieçón Aingueruäc, Guerricadi, eta iaunz itzac eure sandaleac. Eta eguin ceçan hala. Guero erran cieçón, Har eçac eure arropá, eta arreit niri.
9 So Peter went out, following him, yet could not believe that what the angel was doing was real, but supposed that he saw a vision.
Eta ilkiric Pierris iarreiqui cequión, eta etzaquian eguia cenez Aingueruäz eguiten cena: baina vste çuen cembeit visione ikusten çuela.
10 And passing through the first ward and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. This opened to them of itself; and, going out, they passed on through one of the streets, and then suddenly the angel left him.
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.
11 Peter coming to himself said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and has rescued me from the power of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating."
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.
12 So, after thinking things over, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark, where a large number of people were assembled, praying.
Eta gauçá consideraturic ethor cedin Maria Ioannesen, icen goiticoz Marc deitzen cenaren amaren etchera, non baitziraden anhitz bilduac eta othoitze eguiten ceudela.
13 When he knocked at the wicket in the door, a maidservant named Rhoda came to answer the knock;
Eta bulkatu çuenean Pierrisec etche aitzineco borthá, ilki cedin nescatobat behatzera, Rhode deitzen cenic.
14 and recognizing Peter's voice, for very joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them that Peter was standing there.
Eta eçaguturic Pierrisen voza, bozcarioz etzeçan irequi etche aitzineco borthá, baina barnera laster eguinic declara ciecén, Pierris borthaitzinean cegoela.
15 "You are mad," they said. But she strenuously maintained that it was true. "It is his guardian angel," they said.
Eta hec erran cieçoten, Erhoa aiz. Baina harc seguratzen çuen hala cela: eta hec cioiten, Haren Aingueruä dun.
16 Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, until at last they opened the door and saw that it was really he, and were filled with amazement.
Baina Pierrisec bulkatzez perseueratzen çuen: eta irequiric, ikus ceçaten hura, eta spanta citecen.
17 But he motioned with his hand for silence, and then described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. "Tell all this to James and the brethren," he added. Then he left them, and went to another place.
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.
18 When morning came, there was no little commotion among the soldiers, as to what could possibly have become of Peter.
Baina arguitu cenean gudu handia cen gendarmesén artean eya Pierris cer eguin cen.
19 And when Herod had had him searched for and could not find him, after sharply questioning the guards he ordered them away to execution. He then went down from Judaea to Caesarea and remained there.
Eta Herodesec hura galdeguinic eriden etzuenean, goardez informatione eguinic, mana ceçan punitzera eraman litecen: eta iautsiric Iudeatic Cesareara, han egon cedin.
20 Now the people of Tyre and Sidon had incurred Herod's violent displeasure. So they sent a large deputation to wait on him; and having secured the good will of Blastus, his treasurer, they begged the king to be friendly with them again, because their country was dependent on his for its food supply.
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.
21 So, on an appointed day, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal robes, took his seat on the tribunal, and was haranguing them;
Eta egun assignatu batez, Herodesec regue arropaz veztituric, iudicioco iar lekuan iarriric, harengabat eguin ciecén.
22 and the assembled people kept shouting, "It is the voice of a god, and not of a man!"
Eta populua oihuz iar cedin, Iaincoaren voza, eta ez guiçonarena!
23 Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the glory to God, and being eaten up by worms, he died.
Eta bertan io ceçan hura Iaincoaren Aingueruäc, ceren ezpaitzeraucan Iaincoari gloria eman: eta harabarturic hil cedin.
24 But God's Message prospered, and converts were multiplied.
Baina Iaincoaren hitza auançatzen cen eta multiplicatzen.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having discharged their mission, and they brought with them John, surnamed Mark.
Barnabas-ere eta Saul itzul citecen Ierusalemetic, carguä complituric, berequin harturic Ioannes-ere icen goiticoz Marc deitzen cena.
