1Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
1ʻI he kuonga ko ia, naʻe mafao ai ʻae nima ʻo Helota ko e tuʻi, ke fakamamahiʻi ʻae niʻihi ʻi he siasi.
2And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
2Pea ne tāmateʻi ʻa Semisi ko e tokoua ʻo Sione ʻaki ʻae heletā.
3And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
3Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻoku fiefia ai ʻae kakai Siu, naʻe fai ʻe ia ke ne puke foki ʻa Pita. (Pea naʻe feʻunga ia mo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe mā taʻemeʻafakatupu.)
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.
4Pea kuo ne puke ia, pea ne fakahū ki he fale fakapōpula, ʻo tuku ki he vāhenga tau ʻe fā, naʻe taki toko fā, ke nau leʻohi ia; ʻo ne tokanga ke ʻomi ia kituaʻā, ki he kakai ʻoka hili ʻa e kātoanga ʻoe Lakaatu.
5Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
5Ko ia naʻe moʻua pe ʻa Pita ʻi he fale fakapōpula: ka naʻe hūfia fakamātoato ia ʻe he siasi ki he ʻOtua.
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.
6Pea ʻi he tokanga ʻa Helota ke ʻomi ia kituaʻā, naʻe mohe ʻa Pita ʻi he pō ko ia ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo tangata tau, naʻe haʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi ʻe ua: pea ʻi he matapā ʻae kau leʻo, ʻo leʻohi ʻae fale fakapōpula.
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.
7Pea vakai, kuo ʻiate ia ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki, pea malama ʻi he fale fakapōpula ʻae maama: pea ne taaʻi ʻa Pita ʻi he vakavaka, mo ne fokotuʻu ia, ʻo pehē, “Tuʻu ke vave.” Pea naʻe homo ʻae ukamea fihifihi ʻi hono nima.
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.
8Pea pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo kiate ia, “Nonoʻo ho kofu, pea fakamaʻu mo ho topuvaʻe.” Pea ne fai ia. Pea ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻAi ho kofu, pea ke muimui kiate au.
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.
9Pea naʻa ne ʻalu kituaʻā, ʻo muimui ʻiate ia; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo pe ko e moʻoni ʻaia kuo fai ʻe he ʻāngelo; ka naʻe mahalo ʻe ia ko e meʻa hā mai ʻoku ne mamata ai.
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.
10Pea kuo na tuku ki mui ʻae ʻuluaki kau leʻo mo hono ua, pea na hoko ki he matapā ukamea, ʻoku ʻalu atu ai ki he kolo; pea matoʻo ia, ʻiate ia pe, kiate kinaua: pea naʻa na ō kituaʻā, ʻo na fononga ʻi he hala ʻe taha; pea fakafokifā pe kuo mole ʻiate ia ʻae ʻāngelo.
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.
11Pea kuo matala ʻae loto ʻo Pita, pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou toki ʻilo pau ni, kuo fekau mai ʻe he ʻEiki ʻene ʻāngelo, pea kuo ne fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻo Helota, mo e ʻamanaki kotoa pē ʻae kakai Siu.”
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.
12Pea ʻi heʻene kei fifili ki ai, mo ʻene hoko ki he fale ʻo Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Sione, ʻoku hingoa ko Maʻake; naʻe kātoa ai ʻae tokolahi ʻo lotu.
13And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
13Pea ʻi he tukituki ʻa Pita ki he matapā ʻi tuaʻā, naʻe haʻu ʻae taʻahine ʻoku hingoa ko Lota, ʻo fakafanongo.
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.
14Pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ʻae leʻo ʻo Pita, naʻe ʻikai te ne toʻo ʻae matapā, ko e meʻa ʻi he fiefia, ka ka lele ia ʻo tala ʻoku tuʻu ʻa Pita ʻi he matapā.
15And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
15Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku ke vale.” Ka naʻe fakapapau ia, Ko e moʻoni ko ia pē. Pea nau toki pehē, Ko ʻene ʻāngelo.
16But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door , and saw him, they were astonished.
16Ka naʻe kei tukituki pē ʻa Pita: pea ʻi heʻenau toʻo ʻo mamata kiate ia, naʻa nau ofo.
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.
17Ka naʻe taʻofi ʻaki ʻe ia hono nima ke nau fakalongo pē, pea ne fakamatala kiate kinautolu ʻa hono ʻomi ia ʻe he ʻEiki mei he fale fakapōpula. Pea ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo fakahā ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kia Semisi, mo e kāinga.” Pea ʻalu ia mei ai, ʻo ʻalu ki ha potu kehe.
18Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
18Pea kuo ʻaho hake, naʻe maveuveu lahi ʻae kau tau, pe kofaʻā ʻa Pita.
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.
19Pea ʻi he kumi ia ʻe Helota, mo ʻikai siʻi ʻilo ia, naʻa ne fakamaauʻi ʻae kau leʻo, pea fekau ʻe ia ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu . Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ia mei Siutea ʻo nofo ki Sesalia.
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 .
20¶ Pea naʻe ʻita lahi ʻa Helota kiate kinautolu ʻi Taia mo Saitone: ka naʻa nau haʻu loto taha kiate ia, pea kuo nau kāinga ʻaki ʻa Palasito, ko e tauhi ʻoe potu mohe ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo kole ke nau fakalelei; koeʻuhi naʻe maʻu ʻe honau fonua ʻae meʻakai mei he fonua ʻoe tuʻi.
21And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
21Pea ko e ʻaho naʻe kotofa, naʻe kofu fakatuʻi ai ʻa Helota, pea nofo ʻi hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, pea fai ʻene lea kiate kinautolu.
22And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
22Pea mavava ʻae kakai ʻo pehē , “Ko e leʻo ia ʻoe ʻotua, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe tangata.”
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.
23Pea taaʻi leva ia ʻe ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ʻOtua: pea naʻe kai ia ʻe he ʻuanga, pea mate ia.
