प्रेरित 12:1-5

1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

4 And 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.

5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

1 त्यति नै बेला (त्यही समयमै) राजा हेरोदले मण्डलीका कतिपय मानिसहरूलाई सताउन थाले।
Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

2 हेरोदले याकूबलाई तरवाले मार्नु भन्ने हुकुम दिए। याकूब यूहन्नाका भाइ थिए।
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

3 हेरोदले देखे कि यहूदीहरूले त्यो मन पराए। यसकारण उनी अघि गए अनि पत्रुसलाई पनि पक्रे। यो घटना यहूदीहरूको निस्तार चाडको समयमा घटेको थियो।
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

4 हेरोदले पत्रुसलाई पक्रेर जेलमा राखे। सोह्र-जना सिपाहीहरूले पत्रुसलाई कडा नजरमा राखे। हेरोदले पत्रुसलाई निस्तार चाडको पछि जनता समक्ष ल्याउने योजना गरे।
And 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.

5 यसैले उनले पत्रुसलाई जेलमा राखे। तर मण्डलीले पत्रुसको लागि परमेश्वरलाई लगातर प्रार्थना गरिरहे।
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
