1 H addaba wakhtigaas boqorkii Herodos ahaa ayuu wuxuu gacmihiisa u fidiyey inuu dhibo qaar ka mid ah kuwa kiniisadda.

At that time King Herod used his power to make it hard for the Christians in the church.

2 W uxuuna seef ku dilay Yacquub oo ahaa Yooxanaa walaalkiis.

He killed James, the brother of John, with a sword.

3 O o markuu arkay inay ka farxisay Yuhuuddii, ayuu weliba ku daray inuu soo qabto Butros. Maalmahaasna waxay ahaayeen maalmihii Iidda Kibista-aan-khamiirka-lahayn.

When he saw that it made the Jews happy, he took hold of Peter also. This was during the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt.

4 O o 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.

Herod took Peter and put him in prison and had sixteen soldiers watch him. After the special religious gathering was over, he planned to bring Peter out to the people. Peter Goes Free

5 S idaas darteed Butros xabsigaa lagu hayay; laakiin kiniisadda baa Ilaah aad iyo aad ugu bariday isaga.

So Peter was held in prison. But the church kept praying to God for him.

6 O o 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 was to bring him out for his trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers. He was tied with two chains. Soldiers stood by the door and watched the prison.

7 O o 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.

All at once an angel of the Lord was seen standing beside him. A light shone in the building. The angel hit Peter on the side and said, “Get up!” Then the chains fell off his hands.

8 M arkaasaa malaa'igtii waxay ku tidhi, Gunto oo kabahaaga xidho. Taas buuna yeelay. Markaasay waxay ku tidhi isagii, Dharkaagii huwo oo i soo raac.

The angel said, “Put on your belt and shoes!” He did. The angel said to Peter, “Put on your coat and follow me.”

9 M arkaasuu soo baxay oo raacay; ma uuna garanaynin in waxay malaa'igtu samaysay ay run tahay, laakiin wuxuu u maleeyey inuu riyo arkay.

Peter followed him out. He was not sure what was happening as the angel helped him. He thought it was a dream.

10 O o 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.

They passed one soldier, then another one. They came to the big iron door that leads to the city and it opened by itself and they went through. As soon as they had gone up one street, the angel left him. The Christians Find It Hard to Believe Peter Is Free

11 O o 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.

As Peter began to see what was happening, he said to himself, “Now I am sure the Lord has sent His angel and has taken me out of the hands of Herod. He has taken me also from all the things the Jews wanted to do to me.”

12 K olkuu waxaas ka fikiray, wuxuu yimid gurigii Maryan, oo ahayd hooyadii Yooxanaa oo Markos la odhan jiray; meeshaasoo dad badan ku urursanaayeen oo ku tukanayeen.

After thinking about all this, he went to Mary’s house. She was the mother of John Mark. Many Christians were gathered there praying.

13 M arkuu albaabka iridda garaacayna, waxaa timid gabadh midiidin ah oo Roda la odhan jiray inay maqasho.

When Peter knocked at the gate, a girl named Rhoda went to see who it was.

14 K olkay codkii Butros garatay, farxad darteed bay albaabka u furi weyday, laakiin gudaha bay ku orodday, wayna sheegtay in Butros iridda hor taagan yahay.

She knew Peter’s voice, but in her joy she forgot to open the gate. She ran in and told them that Peter was standing outside the gate.

15 M arkaasay waxay ku yidhaahdeen iyadii, Waad waalan tahay. Laakiin way ku sii adkaysatay inay sidaa tahay. Iyaguse waxay yidhaahdeen, Waa malaa'igtiisii.

They said to her, “You are crazy.” But she said again that it was so. They kept saying, “It is his angel.”

16 L aakiin Butros waa sii garaacay, oo kolkay albaabka fureenna, way arkeen isagii, wayna yaabeen.

Peter kept knocking. When they opened the gate and saw him, they were surprised and wondered about it.

17 L aakiin 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.

He raised his hand and told them not to talk but to listen to him. He told them how the Lord had brought him out of prison. He said, “Tell all these things to James and to the other Christian brothers.” Then he went to another place. The Death of Herod

18 M arkii waagu beryay, qasmid aan yarayn ayaa askartii ka dhex kacday waxa Butros ku dhacay aawadeed.

In the morning the soldiers were very troubled about what had happened to Peter.

19 O o 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

Herod looked for him but could not find him. He asked the soldiers who watched the prison about Peter. Herod said that the soldiers must be killed because Peter got away. Then Herod went down from the country of Judea to the city of Caesarea to stay for awhile.

20 D adka 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.

Herod was very angry with the people of the cities of Tyre and Sidon. They went to him and asked for peace to be made between them and the king. They asked this because their country got food from the king’s country. The people made friends with Blastus, the king’s helper.

21 M aalintii la ballamay ayaa Herodos wuxuu gashaday dharkii boqornimada oo carshiga ku fadhiistay, markaasuu iyaga qudbad u jeediyey.

A day was set aside. On that day Herod put on purple clothes a king wears. He sat on his throne and spoke to the people.

22 D adkiina waa qayliyeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Kanu waa ilaah codkiis ee ma aha bini-aadan codkiis.

They all started to speak with a loud voice, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.”

23 M arkiiba ayaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu ku dhufatay, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah ma uu ammaanin; markaasaa waxaa cunay dixiryo, oo naftiina ka dhacday.

The angel of the Lord knocked him down because he did not give honor to God. He was eaten by worms and died.

24 L aakiin Rabbiga ereygiisu waa kordhay oo batay.

The Word of God was heard by many people and went into more places.

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

Saul and Barnabas went back to Jerusalem after they had finished their work. They took John Mark with them.
