Acts 12
1 Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
Tome na gene mobhapego, a Elode gubhatandwibhe kwaabhonelanga bhandunji bhana bha a Nnungu.
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
A Elode gubhaabhuleje kwa upanga a Yakobho, apwabho a Yowana.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
Bhakabhoneje kuti Bhayaudi ishikwanonyelanga kwa shene shitendisho, gubhaakamwile na a Petili. Genego pugatendeshe mobha ga shikukuu sha mikate jangataga ngedule.
4 When he had arrested him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
Bhakaakamuleje a Petili, gubhaaugalile nnigelesha, gubhaabhishile muulinda gwa ikundi nsheshe ya ashimanjola nsheshensheshe. A Elode pubhatumbilile bhaakopoye pa lugwinjili lwa bhandu shipitaga shikukuu sha Bhayaudi shashemwaga Pashaka.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
Bhai, a Petili bhali nnigelesha, bhandunji bha a Nnungu gubhatumbililenje kwaajuga a Nnungu.
6 The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
Shene shilosho a Elode bhakanabhe kwaakopoya a Petili kulugwinjili, a Petili gubhagonile pakatipakati ja ashimanjola bhabhili, bhalibhatabhilwe mindondolo jibhili na bhalinda bhalinginji muulinda pa nnango gwa ligelesha.
7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off his hands.
Shangupe malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwajimi tome na bhenebho, shilangaya shikulangayaga nnigelesha mula. Malaika jwa a Nnungu akwaapalamulaga a Petili mmbalati alinkuti, “Nnjabhule shangu!” Pala pepala mindondolo jibhatabhilwe mmakono jila jikukutukaga na shigwilile pai.
8 The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”
Malaika jwa a Nnungu gwabhabhalanjile, “Mwitabhe nshipi gwenu, nng'wale ilatu yenu. Gubhatendile nnepeila. Malaika gwabhabhalanjile nng'wale likoti lyenu nngagule.”
9 And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
A Petili gubhankagwile palanga, ikabheje bhakamumanyaga yatendwaga naka malaika jula kuti puyaliji ya kweli, pubhaganishiyaga bhanaagamila.
10 When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
Bhakapitanjeje shikundi sha ndandubho na sha bhili sha ulinda, gubhaikengenenje kunnango gwa itale gwa jinjilila kunnjini. Nnango gula ukwiugulaga guyene gubhakopokenje palanga. Gubhalongenenje mumpanda gumo, kashokope malaika jula akwaalekega a Petili jikape.
11 When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”
Penepo a Petili gubhang'amwile itendeshe ila gubhashite, “Nnaino nimumanyi kweli kuti Bhakulungwa bhashikuntuma malaika jwabho kwiya njoya mmakono ga a Elode na gowe gubhalolelangaga Bhayaudi.”
12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
Bhakagamanyeje genego gubhapite mpaka kwa a Malia anyinabhabho a Yowana bhashemwaga a Maliko. Na mwenemo bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhashinkuimananga nkujuga Nnungu.
13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
A Petili gubhaolishiye pannango, ntumishi jumo jwankongwe lina lyakwe Loda gwapite pilikanishiya.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
Mwali jula akamanyeje kuti lilobhe lila lya a Petili gwainonyele kwa kaje. Jwangaugula nnango gula, ikabhe gwabhutwishe kukwalugulilanga kuti a Petili pubhali pannango.
15 They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
Gubhammalanjilenje mwali jula, “Ushikola shalubha!” Ikabheje jwalakwe gwapundile kukong'ondela kuti kweli. Gubhammalanjilenje bhalinkutinji, “Jwenejo malaika jwabho.”
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
A Petili gubhapundile kuolishiya. Kungai gubhaaugulilenje nnango, bhakaabhonanjeje gubhakanganigwenje.
17 But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.
A Petili gubhaagolosheyenje makono nkupinga bhapumulanje, gubhatalashiye Bhakulungwa shibhashite kwashoya nnigelesha. Kungai gubhaalugulilenje bhapelekanje ntenga kwa a Yakobho na ashaapwabho bhananji, gubhajabhwile kwenda mmbali jina.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
Kukasheje, ashimanjola gubhakwetenje lipamba lya kaje nndi yaapatile a Petili?
19 When Herod had sought for him and did not find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
A Elode gubhaamulishe bhaloleywe, ikabheje bhangaapatanga. Kwa nneyo gubhaamulishe ashimanjola bhala bhabhuywanje na bhabhulagwanje. Kungai a Elode gubhajabhwile ku Yudea, gubhapite tama ku Kaishalia.
20 Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.
A Elode bhashinkwatumbalilanga bhandu bha ku Tilo na ku Shidoni, ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhaatumilenje bhantenga. Gubhapanjilenje mbwiga na a Bhulashito bhaliji bhakulungwa bha nyumba ja bhakulungwa. Kungai gubhaajendele a Elode kukwajuga kubhe na ulele. Pabha shilambo shabhonji kubhakulupalilangaga kupata shalya kushilambo sha bhakulungwa a Elode.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
Lyubha libhatumbilile, a Elode bhali bhawalile ngubho yabho ya upalume, gubhatemi pa shitengu shabho sha upalume gubhatandwibhe kwaalungushiyanga bhandunji.
22 The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
Bhandunji bhala gubhajobhelenje nkwalumbilila bhalinkutinji, “Lyeneli lilobhe lya a nnungu, nngabha lika mundu.”
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.
Shangupe malaika jwa Bhakulungwa akwaagwiyaga pai a Elode kwa ligongo lyangapinga kwaapa a Nnungu Ukulungwa gwabho. Gubhaligwilwe na mbiu, gubhawile.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Lilobhe lya a Nnungu gulipundile kushuma.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
A Bhanabha na a Shauli bhakamaliyanjeje liengo lyabhonji, gubhabhujilenje kukopoka ku Yelushalemu, gubhaatolilenje a Yowana bhashemwaga a Maliko gubhalongene nabhonji.
