Masengo 12
1 Katema kakoko mwenye che Helode, ŵatandite kwalagasya ŵandu ŵampepe wa mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
At that time Herod the king laid his hands on some of those of the assembly to do them hurt,
2 Ni ŵambuleje che Yakobo mpwakwe che Yohana ni lipanga.
and slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 Paŵaiweni kuti chitendo cho chanonyelesye Ŵayahudi, ŵapundisye, ŵaakamwile che Petulo nombe nawo. Yeleyo yatendekwe katema ka chindimba cha mikate jangatajikwa amila.
And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he went on to take Peter also: (and they were the days of unleavened bread: )
4 Paŵankamwile che Petulo, ŵammisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni kwaŵika paasi pa mipingo ncheche ja ŵangondo ncheche ncheche kuti ŵalindilile. Che Helode ŵasachile kwakoposya che Petulo kwa ŵandu pakumala chindimba cha Ŵayahudi cha mikate jangatajikwa amila chachikuŵilanjikwa Pasaka.
whom having seized he put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep, purposing after the passover to bring him out to the people.
5 Nipele, che Petulo paŵaliji mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jila, katema kakoko mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵalimbile kwapopelela kwa Akunnungu kwa mitima jao jose.
Peter therefore was kept in the prison; but unceasing prayer was made by the assembly to God concerning him.
6 Chilo, likanaŵe kwika lyuŵa lilyatiji che Helode ankoposye che Petulo pa ŵandu, che Petulo ŵagonile pasikati ja ŵangondo ŵaŵili, ali ataŵikwe ni minyolo jiŵili ni ŵakulindilila ŵaliji nkulindilila pannango wa nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jila.
And when Herod was going to bring him forth, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards before the door kept the prison.
7 Chisisimuchile, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵajimilile ni lilanguka lyalanguchisye mu chuumba mo. Ni katumetume jo ŵantingenye che Petulo mu mbalati ni kwajimusya achitiji, “Njimuche chitema pe!” Papopo unyolo wawantaŵile mmakono wakutwiche ni kugwa paasi.
And lo, an angel of [the] Lord came there, and a light shone in the prison: and having smitten the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off his hands.
8 Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Nlitaŵe nkaanda wenu, mmwale ni italawanda yenu.” Che Petulo ŵatesile yeleyo ni katumetume jo ŵansalile, “Mmwale likoti lyenu munguye.”
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he says to him, Cast thine upper garment about thee and follow me.
9 Che Petulo ŵankuiye mpaka paasa pa nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, nambo nganamanyililaga kuti yele iyatendekwaga ni katumetume jwa kwinani jo yaliji isyene, ŵaganisisye kuti akwiwona yakwiwona.
And going forth he followed [him] and did not know that what was happening by means of the angel was real, but supposed he saw a vision.
10 Ŵapite liuto lyaandanda ni lyaaŵili lya ŵakulindilila, ŵaiche pannango wa chisyano wakwinjilila mmusi. Nnango wo waugwiche usyene, nombewo ŵakopweche paasa. Ni ŵaliji nkwenda litala limo ni papopo katumetume jwa kwinani jo ŵannesile che Petulo jikape.
And having passed through a first and second guard, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city, which opened to them of itself; and going forth they went down one street, and immediately the angel left him.
11 Pelepo che Petulo ŵaimanyi iyakopochele ni ŵatite, “Sambano ngumanyilila kusyene kuti, Ambuje antumile katumetume jwao jwa kwinani kukungulupusya mu ulamusi u che Helode ni kungoposya mu iŵailolelaga Ŵayahudi kuti ikopochele.”
And Peter, being come to himself, said, Now I know certainly that [the] Lord has sent forth his angel and has taken me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Paŵaimanyilile yeleyo ŵajawile ku nyuumba ji che Maliamu achikulugwe che Yohana jwakuŵilanjikwa che Maliko. Mwelemo ŵasongangene ŵandu ŵajinji kupopela.
And having become clearly conscious [in himself], he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.
13 Che Petulo ŵapoposile pannango wa paasa ni ŵaiche katumetume mwali liina lyakwe che Loda kukupilikanila.
And when he had knocked at the door of the entry, a maid came to listen, by name Rhoda;
14 Mwali jo paŵalimanyilile liloŵe li che Petulo, nganaugula nnango kwa ligongo lya kusengwa, nambo ŵautuchile nkati ni kwasalila kuti che Petulo ali pannango.
and having recognised the voice of Peter, through joy did not open the entry, but running in, reported that Peter was standing before the entry.
15 Ni ŵanyawo ŵansalile mwali jo, “Ntekupungwana!” Nombejo ŵalimbile kuti isyene ali ŵawowo. Ni ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Jwelejo ali katumetume jwao jwa kwinani.”
And they said to her, Thou art mad. But she maintained that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.
16 Ni katema kakoko che Petulo ŵapundile kupoposya pannango. Nipele paŵaugwile nnango ŵambweni, ni kusimonga.
But Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him and were astonished.
17 Che Petulo ŵagolwesye nkono kuti amyalale, ni kwasalila iŵatite Ambuje pakwakoposya mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa. Nipele ŵaasalile akaalanjile yelei che Yakobo ni achalongo ŵane ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, nombejo ŵatyosile ni kwaula kwine.
And having made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, he related [to them] how the Lord had brought him out of prison; and he said, Report these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out and went to another place.
18 Pakwachele, ŵangondo ŵala ŵapundile kola lipamba lyelikulungwa yankati chichasimene che Petulo.
And when it was day there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what then was become of Peter.
19 Nipele che Helode ŵatite asosekwe nambo nganiŵaona. Nipele ŵalamwile kuti ŵaausye ŵangondo ŵala, ni ŵatyosisye lilamulo kuti aulajikwe. Nipele che Helode ŵatyosile ku Yudea, ŵajawile ku Kaisalia ni kutama kukoko kwa moŵa gampepe.
And Herod having sought him and not found him, having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be executed. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea and stayed [there].
20 Che Helode ŵaatumbilile nnope ŵandu ŵa ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni. Nambo ŵanyawo kwa pamo ŵaajaulile che Helode. Ŵakombwele kusyoŵekana ni che Blasto juŵaliji jwakuchimbichikwa ni jwakulindilila nyuumba ja mwenye, kuti aŵe pamo ni ŵanyawo. Che Blasto ŵaajaulile che Helode ni kwachondelela kuti kuŵe ni chitendewele, pakuŵa chilambo chao chakulupililaga chakulya kutyochela ku chilambo cha mwenye.
And he was in bitter hostility with [the] Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and, having gained Blastus the king's chamberlain, sought peace, because their country was nourished by the king's.
21 Pa lyuŵa lilyasagulikwe, che Helode ŵawete iwalo ya umwenye ni kutama pa chitengu chao cha umwenye, ni kukunguluka ni ŵandu.
And on a set day, clothed in royal apparel and sitting on the elevated seat [of honour], Herod made a public oration to them.
22 Ni ŵandu ŵala ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ali lili liloŵe lya nnungu, nganiliŵa lya mundu.”
And the people cried out, A god's voice and not a man's.
23 Papopo katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵangwisisye che Helode paasi, pakuŵa nganiŵapa Akunnungu ukulu wo. Ni jakamwile mbango ni kuwa.
And immediately an angel of [the] Lord smote him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he expired, eaten of worms.
24 Nambo Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyapundile kwenela.
But the word of God grew and spread itself.
25 Che Banaba ni che Sauli paŵamalisisye masengo ga Akunnungu, ŵanjigele che Yohana jwakuŵilanjikwa che Maliko ni kuuja kutyochela ku Yelusalemu.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled the service [entrusted to them], taking also with them John, surnamed Mark.
