Masengo 12
1 Katema kakoko mwenye che Helode, ŵatandite kwalagasya ŵandu ŵampepe wa mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
About that time Herod the king exerted his power to distress some of the church.
2 Ni ŵambuleje che Yakobo mpwakwe che Yohana ni lipanga.
And he cut off 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 proceeded to apprehend Peter also, (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.
whom he seized and put into prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; 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.
Peter was therefore kept in custody: but incessant prayer was made to God for him by the church.
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 about to bring him forth, that very night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the guards at the door watched 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 an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the room; and smiting Peter on the side, he waked him, and said, Rise up 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 angel said unto him, Gird thyself and tie on thy sandals: and he did so. And he saith unto him, Throw thy garment round 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.
So he went out and followed him; and he did not know, that what was done by the angel was real, but thought 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 passing through the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate, that leadeth into the city, which of its own accord opened to them: and they went out and passed on through one street; and then the angel 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 hath sent his angel and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from 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 considering with himself, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was sirnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
13 Che Petulo ŵapoposile pannango wa paasa ni ŵaiche katumetume mwali liina lyakwe che Loda kukupilikanila.
And when Peter knocked at the door of the porch, a servant named Rhoda came to ask 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, through excess of joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them, that Peter was standing at the door.
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 confidently affirmed that it was so. Then said they, It is his angel.
16 Ni katema kakoko che Petulo ŵapundile kupoposya pannango. Nipele paŵaugwile nnango ŵambweni, ni kusimonga.
But Peter continued knocking; and when they 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.
But he made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, and related to them, how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, tell these things to James and to the other brethren. And he departed and went to another place.
18 Pakwachele, ŵangondo ŵala ŵapundile kola lipamba lyelikulungwa yankati chichasimene che Petulo.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small disturbance 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, brought the keepers to a trial, and ordered them to be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and 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 Herod was going to make war upon the Tyrians and Sidonians: but they came to him with one consent, and making interest with Blastus the king's chamberlain, they sued for peace; because their territory was supplied with provision by the king's country.
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 arrayed in his royal robes, and sitting upon his throne, made an oration to them.
22 Ni ŵandu ŵala ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ali lili liloŵe lya nnungu, nganiliŵa lya mundu.”
And the people gave a shout, saying, 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 an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and being devoured by worms he died.
24 Nambo Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyapundile kwenela.
But 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 returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their charge, taking along with them John who was sirnamed Mark.
