1Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
1To nathuem ah Herod siangpahrang loe kricaanawk pacaekthlaek hanah khopoek.
2And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
2Anih mah Johan ih amnawk Jakob to sumsen hoiah hum.
3And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
3Anih mah to tiah ka sak pongah Judah kaminawk anghoe o, tiah panoek naah, Piter doeh naeh hanah pacaeng. (To atue loe taeh thuh ai ih takaw caakhaih poih niah oh.)
4And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
4Anih mah Piter to naeh moe, thongim pakhrak; Herod ih Easter poih boeng pacoengah, anih to kaminawk hma ah lok ka caek han, tiah a poek pongah, anih to abu palito misatuh kaminawk a toepsak.
5Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
5Piter to thongim thungah paung: toe kricaanawk mah anih han boeng ai ah Sithaw khae lawkthuih pae o.
6And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
6Herod mah anih lokcaekhaih atue phak tom naah, Piter to misatuh kami hnik salakah iih o sak moe, sumqui hnetto hoiah pathlet o: thongim thok hma ah loe toepkung kami hnetto oh hoi.
7And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him , and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
7Khenah, Angraeng ih van kami anih khaeah angzoh moe, aanghaih mah thongim thung to toeh: anih mah Piter to panak ah tabaeng pae dop moe, palawt, Karangah angthawk ah, tiah a naa. To naah anih ban ih sumqui doeh angkhring pae roep.
8And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
8Van kami mah anih khaeah, Kahni to angkhuk ah loe, khokpanai abuen ah, tiah a naa. A thuih ih lok baktih toengah Piter mah sak. Anih mah Piter khaeah, Kahni to angkhuk ah loe, ka hnukah bangah, tiah a naa.
9And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
9Anih loe tacawt moe, a hnukah bang; to tiah van kami mah sak ih hmuen loe tangtang ni, tiah Piter mah panoek ai; hmuen hnuksakhaih kalang mue ka hnuk, tiah a poek.
10When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
10Imkhaan maeto hoi hnetto a poeng hoi moe, avang thung caehhaih sum khongkha to a phak hoi; thok loe angmah koehah amongh: a caeh hoi poe moe, loklam maeto a caeh hoi poe pacoengah, van kami mah anih to caehtaak.
11And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
11Piter mah, Angraeng mah angmah ih van kami to patoeh moe, Herod ih ban hoi Judah kaminawk poekhaih thung hoiah ang loisak boeh, tito vaihi ka panoek boeh, tiah thuih.
12And when he had considered the thing , he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
12To tiah a poek pacoengah, Mark, tiah ahmin kangtha paek o ih Johan amno Meri im ah a caeh, to ahmuen ah paroeai kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o moe, lawkthuih o.
13And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
13Piter mah thok to takhuek, Rhoda, tiah ahmin kaom nongpata maeto loe thok paong hanah thok taengah caeh.
14And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
14Anih mah Piter ih lok ni, tiah panoek naah, oep loiah thok paong pae ai ah, imthung ah cawnh pae lat, Piter thok taengah angdoet, tiah a thuih pae.
15And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
15Nihcae mah to nongpata khaeah, Nam thu boeh ta ni, tiah a naa o. Toe anih mah tangtang ni kang thuih o, tiah a naa. To naah nihcae mah anih ih van kami mue, tiah a naa o.
16But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door , and saw him, they were astonished.
16Toe Piter mah thok to takhuek let bae: thok paongh pae o naah, anih to a hnuk o, nihcae loe dawnrai hoiah oh o.
17But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
17Piter mah nihcae khaeah anghngai o duem hanah ban hoi angmathaih paek, to pacoengah Angraeng mah anih thongim thung hoi loisakhaih kawng to a thuih pae. Piter mah nihcae khaeah, Caeh oh loe, Jakob hoi nawkamyanawk khaeah hae hmuen kawng hae thuih pae oh, tiah a naa. To pacoengah anih loe tacawt moe, ahmuen kalah bangah caeh.
18Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
18Khawnbang khodai naah loe, Piter kawbangmaw oh ving boeh, tiah thuih o moe, misatuh kaminawk salakah lokpunghaih to oh.
19And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and there abode.
19Herod mah anih to pakrong, toe hnu ai, to naah Herod mah thongim toep misatuh kaminawk to lokcaek moe, hum hanah lokpaek. To pacoengah anih loe Judea hoi Caesarea ah caeh moe, toah khosak.
20¶ And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country .
20Herod loe Tura hoi Sidon vangpui ah kaom kaminawk nuiah anghoe ai: toe nihcae loe palung maeto amhonghaih hoiah anih khaeah angzoh o, nihcae loe siangpahrang prae thungah caaknaek pakrong o pongah, siangpahrang ukhaih thungah toksah Blasta to ampui ah sak o moe, siangpahrang palungphui han ai ah tahmenhaih hnik o.
21And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
21Khaeh ih ani phak naah, Herod loe siangpahrang khukbuen hoiah amthoep, angmah ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut moe, nihcae khaeah lokthuih.
22And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
22To naah kaminawk mah, hae loe kami ih lok na ai, sithaw ih lok ni, tiah hang o.
23And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
23Herod mah Sithaw lensawkhaih pakoeh ai pongah, akra ai ah Angraeng ih van kami mah anih to boh maat: alungnawk mah anih to caak o moe, duek.
24¶ But the word of God grew and multiplied.
24Toe Sithaw ih lok loe qoengh moe, pung tahang.
25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
25A sak hoi ih tok boeng pacoengah, Barnabas hoi Saul loe Jerusalem hoiah amlaem hoi; nihnik mah Mark, tiah kawk o ih Johan doeh a caeh hoi haih.
