Falimaha Rasuullada 12
1 Haddaba wakhtigaas boqorkii Herodos ahaa ayuu wuxuu gacmihiisa u fidiyey inuu dhibo qaar ka mid ah kuwa kiniisadda.
It was about this time that King Herod [Agrippa sent soldiers] [MTY] who seized [and put in prison] some of the [leaders] of the congregation [in Jerusalem. He did that] because he wanted to make the believers suffer.
2 Wuxuuna seef ku dilay Yacquub oo ahaa Yooxanaa walaalkiis.
He commanded [a soldier] to cut off the head of [the apostle] James, the [older] brother of [the apostle] John.
3 Oo markuu arkay inay ka farxisay Yuhuuddii, ayuu weliba ku daray inuu soo qabto Butros. Maalmahaasna waxay ahaayeen maalmihii Iidda Kibista-aan-khamiirka-lahayn.
When Herod realized that he had pleased the [leaders of the] Jewish people by [doing that], he commanded [soldiers] to arrest Peter [in order to kill him], too. This happened during the festival [when the Jewish people ate] bread [that] did not have yeast.
4 Oo kolkuu qabtayna, wuxuu ku riday xabsi, oo u dhiibay afar kooxood oo afar askari ah inay ilaaliyaan, isagoo doonaya inuu Iidda Kormaridda dabadeed dadka u soo saaro.
After [they] seized Peter, they put him in prison. They arranged for four groups of soldiers to guard Peter. Each [group] had four soldiers. [Every three hours a different group began to guard him while the others rested]. Herod wanted to bring Peter out [of prison and judge him] in front of the [Jewish] people after the Passover [Festival was finished. He then planned to command soldiers to execute Peter].
5 Sidaas darteed Butros xabsigaa lagu hayay; laakiin kiniisadda baa Ilaah aad iyo aad ugu bariday isaga.
So [for several days] Peter was kept {they kept Peter} in prison. But the [other believers] in the congregation at [Jerusalem] were praying earnestly to God [that he would help] Peter.
6 Oo markii Herodos damcay inuu soo saaro, isla habeenkaas Butros wuxuu kala dhex hurday laba askari isagoo ku xidhan laba silsiladood; waardiyayaalna albaabka hortiisa ayay xabsiga ka ilaalinayeen.
The night [before] Herod planned to bring Peter out [from prison to have him executed] publicly, Peter was sleeping [in the prison] between two soldiers, with two chains binding his arms [to the arms of the soldiers. Two other] soldiers were guarding the prison doors.
7 Oo bal eega, malaa'igtii Rabbiga baa is-ag taagtay, oo iftiin baana xabsiga iftiimiyey. Markaasay Butros dhinaca ku dhufatay oo toosisay, oo waxay ku tidhi, Dhaqso u kac. Kolkaasaa silsiladihiina gacmihiisii ka dhaceen.
Suddenly an angel [from] the Lord [God] stood [beside Peter], and a [bright] light shone in his cell. The angel poked Peter in the side and woke him up and said, “Get up quickly!” [While Peter was getting up], the chains fell off from his wrists. [However, the soldiers were not aware of what was happening].
8 Markaasaa malaa'igtii waxay ku tidhi, Gunto oo kabahaaga xidho. Taas buuna yeelay. Markaasay waxay ku tidhi isagii, Dharkaagii huwo oo i soo raac.
Then the angel said to Peter, “Put on your clothes and sandals!” So Peter did. Then the angel said to him, “Fasten your belt/girdle [around you(sg)] and put on your sandals!” So Peter did that. Then the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me!”
9 Markaasuu soo baxay oo raacay; ma uuna garanaynin in waxay malaa'igtu samaysay ay run tahay, laakiin wuxuu u maleeyey inuu riyo arkay.
So, [after Peter put on his cloak and sandals], he followed [the angel] out [of the prison cell], but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. He thought [that he] was seeing a vision.
10 Oo markay dhaafeen waardiyihii kowaad iyo kii labaad ayay waxay yimaadeen iriddii birta ahayd oo magaalada loo mari jiray; taas oo iyagii isaga furantay; markaasay ka baxeen oo waxay sii dhex mareen jid yar; markiiba malaa'igtii waa ka tagtay isagii.
Peter and the angel walked by the soldiers who were guarding the two doors, [but the soldiers did not see them. Then] they came to the iron gate that [led] out into the city. The gate opened by itself, and Peter and the angel walked out [of the prison]. After they had walked [a ways] along one street, the angel suddenly disappeared.
11 Oo markii Butros isgartay ayuu wuxuu yidhi, Imminka run ahaantii waan garanayaa in Rabbigu malaa'igtiisii soo diray oo iga bixiyey gacanta Herodos iyo wixii dadka Yuhuuddu filanayeen oo dhan.
Then Peter [finally] realized that [what had happened to him was not a vision, but] it had really happened. So he said [to himself], “Now I really know that the Lord [God] sent an angel [to help me]. He rescued me from what Herod planned to do [MTY] [to me], and [also] from all the things that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] expected [that Herod would do to me].”
12 Kolkuu waxaas ka fikiray, wuxuu yimid gurigii Maryan, oo ahayd hooyadii Yooxanaa oo Markos la odhan jiray; meeshaasoo dad badan ku urursanaayeen oo ku tukanayeen.
When Peter realized [that God had rescued him], he went to Mary’s house. She was the mother of John whose other name was Mark. Many [believers] had assembled there, and they were praying [that God would help Peter somehow].
13 Markuu albaabka iridda garaacayna, waxaa timid gabadh midiidin ah oo Roda la odhan jiray inay maqasho.
When Peter knocked at the outer entrance, a servant girl named Rhoda came to find out [who was outside the door].
14 Kolkay codkii Butros garatay, farxad darteed bay albaabka u furi weyday, laakiin gudaha bay ku orodday, wayna sheegtay in Butros iridda hor taagan yahay.
[When Peter answered her], she recognized his voice, but she was so happy [and excited] that she did not open the door! Instead, she ran back [into the house]. She [excitedly] announced [to the other believers] that Peter was standing outside the door.
15 Markaasay waxay ku yidhaahdeen iyadii, Waad waalan tahay. Laakiin way ku sii adkaysatay inay sidaa tahay. Iyaguse waxay yidhaahdeen, Waa malaa'igtiisii.
But [one of] them said to her, “You [(sg)] are crazy!” But she continued saying that it was [really true. Then] they repeatedly said, “[No], [it cannot be Peter]. It is [probably] the angel [who was guarding] him [who has come] (OR, It is the angel [who has guarded/protected] him, [and he has come to tell us that] Peter [has died].)”
16 Laakiin Butros waa sii garaacay, oo kolkay albaabka fureenna, way arkeen isagii, wayna yaabeen.
But Peter continued knocking [on the door. So when someone finally] opened the door, they saw that it was Peter, and they were completely amazed!
17 Laakiin isagoo u gacan haadinaya inay aamusaan ayuu wuxuu u sheegay sida Rabbigu xabsiga uga soo saaray. Wuxuuna ku yidhi, Waxyaalahan u sheega Yacquub iyo walaalahaba. Markaasuu ka tegey oo meel kale aaday.
Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet. Then he told them exactly how the Lord [God] had led him out of the prison. He [also] said, “Tell James, the [leader] of our [congregation], and our [other] fellow believers what has happened.” Then [Peter left and] went away to another town.
18 Markii waagu beryay, qasmid aan yarayn ayaa askartii ka dhex kacday waxa Butros ku dhacay aawadeed.
The next morning the soldiers [who had been guarding] Peter became terribly distressed, [because they did not know] what had happened to him.
19 Oo Herodos markuu raadiyey isagii oo heli waayay, ayuu wuxuu imtixaamay askartii, oo wuxuu ku amray in iyaga la laayo. Markaasuu Yahuudiya ka tegey oo Kaysariya aaday, oo meeshaasuu joogay.
Then Herod [heard about it]. So he [commanded soldiers] to search for Peter, but they did not find him. Then he questioned the soldiers [who had been guarding Peter], and asked them, “[How did Peter get away when you were there guarding him?]” [But they could not explain it. So] he commanded them to be led away [to be executed] {[other soldiers] to lead them away [to execute them]}. [Afterwards], Herod went from Judea [province] down to Caesarea, where he stayed [for some time].
20 Dadka Turos iyo Siidoon ayuu aad uga xumaaday; markaasay u yimaadeen isagii iyagoo isku wada qalbi ah, oo waxay la saaxiibeen Balaastos kii gurigii boqorka u talin jiray, oo nabad bay ka baryeen, maxaa yeelay, waddankooda waxaa cuntada siin jiray waddankii boqorka.
King Herod had been furiously angry with the people [who lived] in Tyre and Sidon [cities. Then] one day some men [who represented them] came unitedly [to Caesarea in order to meet with] Herod. They persuaded Blastus, who was one of Herod’s important officials, to tell [Herod] that the people [in their cities] wanted to make peace [with him. They wanted to be able to trade with the people that Herod ruled], because they needed to buy food from those regions. [Herod had commanded the people in the areas he ruled to stop selling food to the people in those cities].
21 Maalintii la ballamay ayaa Herodos wuxuu gashaday dharkii boqornimada oo carshiga ku fadhiistay, markaasuu iyaga qudbad u jeediyey.
On the day that Herod had planned to [meet with them], he put on (very expensive clothes that showed that he was king/his royal robes). Then he sat on his (throne/chair from which he ruled [people]), and [formally] addressed [all] the people [who had gathered there].
22 Dadkiina waa qayliyeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Kanu waa ilaah codkiis ee ma aha bini-aadan codkiis.
Those who [were listening to him] shouted repeatedly, “[This man who] is speaking is a god, not a man!”
23 Markiiba ayaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu ku dhufatay, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah ma uu ammaanin; markaasaa waxaa cunay dixiryo, oo naftiina ka dhacday.
So, because Herod [let the people praise him] instead of praising God, immediately an angel [from] the Lord [God] caused Herod to become seriously ill. [Many] worms ate his intestines, and [soon] he died [very painfully].
24 Laakiin Rabbiga ereygiisu waa kordhay oo batay.
[The believers] continued telling God’s message to people in many places, and ([the number of people who believed in Jesus] was continually increasing/there were continually more and more people who were believing in Jesus).
25 Barnabas iyo Sawlos ayaa ka soo noqday Yeruusaalem markay shuqulkoodii soo dhammaysteen, oo waxay wateen Yooxanaa oo la odhan jiray Markos.
When Barnabas and Saul finished [delivering the money to help the Jewish believers in Judea], they left Jerusalem and returned [to Antioch, in Syria province]. They took John, whose other name was Mark, with them.
