Herodos Baa Xertii Silciyey Oo Butros Baa Xabsigii Ka Baxsaday

12 Haddaba wakhtigaas boqorkii Herodos ahaa ayuu wuxuu gacmihiisa u fidiyey inuu dhibo qaar ka mid ah kuwa kiniisadda. Wuxuuna seef ku dilay Yacquub oo ahaa Yooxanaa walaalkiis. Oo markuu arkay inay ka farxisay Yuhuuddii, ayuu weliba ku daray inuu soo qabto Butros. Maalmahaasna waxay ahaayeen maalmihii Iidda Kibista-aan-khamiirka-lahayn. 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. Sidaas darteed Butros xabsigaa lagu hayay; laakiin kiniisadda baa Ilaah aad iyo aad ugu bariday isaga.

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. 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. Markaasaa malaa'igtii waxay ku tidhi, Gunto oo kabahaaga xidho. Taas buuna yeelay. Markaasay waxay ku tidhi isagii, Dharkaagii huwo oo i soo raac. Markaasuu soo baxay oo raacay; ma uuna garanaynin in waxay malaa'igtu samaysay ay run tahay, laakiin wuxuu u maleeyey inuu riyo arkay. 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.

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. 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. 13 Markuu albaabka iridda garaacayna, waxaa timid gabadh midiidin ah oo Roda la odhan jiray inay maqasho. 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. 15 Markaasay waxay ku yidhaahdeen iyadii, Waad waalan tahay. Laakiin way ku sii adkaysatay inay sidaa tahay. Iyaguse waxay yidhaahdeen, Waa malaa'igtiisii. 16 Laakiin Butros waa sii garaacay, oo kolkay albaabka fureenna, way arkeen isagii, wayna yaabeen. 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. 18 Markii waagu beryay, qasmid aan yarayn ayaa askartii ka dhex kacday waxa Butros ku dhacay aawadeed. 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.

Dhimashadii Herodos

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.

21 Maalintii la ballamay ayaa Herodos wuxuu gashaday dharkii boqornimada oo carshiga ku fadhiistay, markaasuu iyaga qudbad u jeediyey. 22 Dadkiina waa qayliyeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Kanu waa ilaah codkiis ee ma aha bini-aadan codkiis. 23 Markiiba ayaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu ku dhufatay, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah ma uu ammaanin; markaasaa waxaa cunay dixiryo, oo naftiina ka dhacday.

24 Laakiin Rabbiga ereygiisu waa kordhay oo batay.

25 Barnabas iyo Sawlos ayaa ka soo noqday Yeruusaalem markay shuqulkoodii soo dhammaysteen, oo waxay wateen Yooxanaa oo la odhan jiray Markos.

Peter’s Miraculous Escape From Prison

12 It was about this time that King Herod(A) arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. He had James, the brother of John,(B) put to death with the sword.(C) When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews,(D) he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread.(E) After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.(F)

So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.(G)

The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains,(H) and sentries stood guard at the entrance. Suddenly an angel(I) of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.(J)

Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him. Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.(K) 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself,(L) and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.

11 Then Peter came to himself(M) and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me(N) from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen.”

12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark,(O) where many people had gathered and were praying.(P) 13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door.(Q) 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed(R) she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”

15 “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”(S)

16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 17 Peter motioned with his hand(T) for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. “Tell James(U) and the other brothers and sisters(V) about this,” he said, and then he left for another place.

18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. 19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed.(W)

Herod’s Death

Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea(X) and stayed there. 20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon;(Y) they now joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king’s country for their food supply.(Z)

21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 22 They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel(AA) of the Lord struck him down,(AB) and he was eaten by worms and died.

24 But the word of God(AC) continued to spread and flourish.(AD)

Barnabas and Saul Sent Off

25 When Barnabas(AE) and Saul had finished their mission,(AF) they returned from[a] Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.(AG)
