Masengo 12
1 Katema kakoko mwenye che Helode, ŵatandite kwalagasya ŵandu ŵampepe wa mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
Now, about that time, Herod, the king, laid hands on some of the congregation, to afflict them.
2 Ni ŵambuleje che Yakobo mpwakwe che Yohana ni lipanga.
And he 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 as he saw that this was acceptable to the Jews, he went on to seize Peter also: and it was in 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.
and having seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to the custody of four quaternions of soldiers, intending, 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.
In the meantime, therefore, Peter was kept in the prison; but earnest and continued prayer was made to God on his account, by the congregation.
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 ready to have brought him out, even that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the guards before the door were keeping 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, behold, a messenger of the Lord presented himself, and a light shone in the house; giving Peter a blow on the side, he awoke him, saying, Arise quickly: and his chains fell off from 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 messenger said to him, Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals; and he did so. And he said to him, Throw your mantle round you, 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 out he followed him; and he did not know that what was done by the messenger was real; but supposed that he had seen 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 passing through the first and second watch, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city; which opened to them of its own accord. And going out, they went through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from 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 truly, that the Lord has sent his messenger, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectations of the Jewish people.
12 Paŵaimanyilile yeleyo ŵajawile ku nyuumba ji che Maliamu achikulugwe che Yohana jwakuŵilanjikwa che Maliko. Mwelemo ŵasongangene ŵandu ŵajinji kupopela.
And recollecting, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark; where many were gathered together, praying.
13 Che Petulo ŵapoposile pannango wa paasa ni ŵaiche katumetume mwali liina lyakwe che Loda kukupilikanila.
And as Peter knocked at the door of the outer gate, a maiden, whose name was Rose, went to inquire who was there.
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 knowing Peter's voice, transported with joy, she did not open the gate: but running in, told them that Peter was standing at the gate.
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, You are distracted: but she confidently affirmed that it was so.
16 Ni katema kakoko che Petulo ŵapundile kupoposya pannango. Nipele paŵaugwile nnango ŵambweni, ni kusimonga.
But Peter continued knocking; and when she opened the door, 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 he made a sign to them with his hand to be silent; and related to them how the Lord had conducted him out of prison. And he aid, Inform James and the brethren of these things: and departing, he went to another place.
18 Pakwachele, ŵangondo ŵala ŵapundile kola lipamba lyelikulungwa yankati chichasimene che Petulo.
And as soon as it was day, there was no small tumult among the soldiers, what 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 searching for him, and not finding him, examined the keeper, and ordered them to be led away to execution. and passing from Judea to Cesarea, he abode 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 highly incensed against the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they unanimously came before him; and gaining Blastus, the king's chamberlain, to their interest, they begged for peace; because their country was nourished by that of the king.
21 Pa lyuŵa lilyasagulikwe, che Helode ŵawete iwalo ya umwenye ni kutama pa chitengu chao cha umwenye, ni kukunguluka ni ŵandu.
And upon a set day, Herod, being arrayed in a royal habit, and seated upon the throne, made an oration to them.
22 Ni ŵandu ŵala ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ali lili liloŵe lya nnungu, nganiliŵa lya mundu.”
And the people cried out, It is the voice of a God, and not of a man!
23 Papopo katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵangwisisye che Helode paasi, pakuŵa nganiŵapa Akunnungu ukulu wo. Ni jakamwile mbango ni kuwa.
But immediately a messenger of the Lord smote him, because he did not give glory to God: and being eaten with worms, he expired.
24 Nambo Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyapundile kwenela.
And the word of God grew and was multiplied.
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, having fulfilled their ministry, returned from Jerusalem; bringing along with them John, whose surname was Mark.
