Acts 12
1 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
Bwakati obhu mfalme Herode akanyosya kibhoko kya muene kwa baadhi jha bhala bhabhihomela ku kusanyiko ili kubhatesya.
2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
Akan'koma Yakobo ndongomunu Yohana kwa upanga.
3 And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Baada jha kubhona ikabhapendesya Bhayahudi akan'kamula ni Petro kabhele. Ejhe jhajhela wakati bhwa mikate jha jhibeli kulola.
4 He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
Bho an'kamuili, akambeka mu ligereza ni kubheka fikosi fincheche fya askari ili kundonda Petro, akajha itarajila kumpeleka kwa bhanu baadajha pasaka.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
Petro abhakibhu mu ligereza, lakini maombi gha bhombiki kwa bidii ni likusanyiku kwa ndabha jhe muene kwa K'yara.
6 On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.
Ligono kabla Herode alotilepi kumpisya, kiru abhu Petro agonili katikati jha maaskari bhabhele akajha akanjibhu minyororo mibhele, ni bhalinzi mbele jha ndiangu bhakajha bhilenda gereza.
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.
Langagi, malaika bha Bwana ghafla akantokela ni nuru jhikan'g'ara mugati. Akajotobha Petro Petro mu ubhafu ni kunjumuisya akajobha, “Jhumukayi manyata.” Ndipo minyororo gha aka akongibhu ghyabhopuiki mu mabhoko gha muene.
8 “Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
Malaika akan'jobhela, “Fwatayi liguanda lya jhobhi na unitesiajhi.” Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni
9 So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.
Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni Malaika kama kya bhukweli. Afikirileghe ibhona maono.
10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left him.
Baada jha kupeta lindo lya chuma lya kujhingilila kulota kumjini likafunguka lyene kwa ndabha jha bhene. Bhakapita kwibhala bhakaselela ku mtaa, mara Malaika akandeka.
11 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”
Petro bho akimbuili, akajobha, “Henu ni amini kujha Bwana andaghisi Malaika ghwa muene ili kunibhosya mu mabhoko gha Herode, ni kwa matarajio gha bhanu bhoha bha uyahudi.”
12 And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.
baada jha kumanya agha, akahida mu nyumba jha manamu nyinamunu Yohana ambaye ndo Marko; bhakristu bhamehele bha bhonganiki bhis'oka.
13 He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
Bhoabishili pa ndiangu ghwa kizuizi, n'tumishi mmonga n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Roda akahida kufungula.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”
Bhoatamuili sauti jha Petro, kwa furaha akasindwa kudendula ndiangu. Badala jhiake akajumba mugati mu kichumba: ni kubhajulisya ku jha Petro ajhemili pa ndiangu.
15 “You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
Hivyo bhakajobha kwa muene, “Bhebhe ndo mwendawazimu.” Lakini akazili kujha ndo kweli ndo muene. Bhakajobha “Ojho ndo Malaika ghwa muene.”
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
Lakini Petro ajhendelili kubisha, na bho bhahinguili ndiangu, bhakambona na bhashangele sana. Petro akabhagudamisya kibhokho kimyakimya ni kubhajobhela jinsi Bwana kyaambosili mu ligereza. Akajobha,
17 Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.
“Bhajulishayi mambo agha Yakobo ni bhalongo munu.” Kisha akabhoka akalota sehemu jhenge.
18 At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
Pamusi, kwahjele ni huzuni mbaha kati jha askari, kuhusiana ni kyakitokili kwa Petro.
19 After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.
Baada jha Herode kundonda na ambwene lepi akabhakota bhalinzi ni kuamuru bhakonibhwayi. Akalota kuhoma Uyahudi mpaka Kaisaria ni kutama okhu.
20 Now Herod was in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him. Having secured the support of Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their region depended on the king’s country for food.
Herode ajhele ni ligoga juu jha bhanu bha Tiro ni Sidoni. Bhakalota kwa pamonga kwa muene. Bhakejha ni urafiki ni Blasto msaidizi ghwa mfalme, ili abhasaidilayi. Kisha bhakasoka amani, kwa ndabha nchi jha mfalme.
21 On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
Ligono lya kusudibhu Herode afwalili maguanda gha kifalme ni kutama pa kiti kya muene kya kifalme, ni kubhahutubila.
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
Bhanu bhakapiga maghuegho, “Ejhe ndo sauti jha K'yara wala sio sauti jha mwanadamu.”
23 Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
Mara ghafla Malaika akan'tobha kwa ndabha ampelililepi K'yara utukufu; alelibhu ni chango na afuili.
24 But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
Lakini lilobhi lya k'yara likakhola ni kusambala.
25 When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
Baada jha Barnaba ni Sauli kukamilisya huduma jha bhene bhakabhoka pala bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu, bhakan'tola ni Yohana ambajhe lilina lya kuhogoleka ndo Marko
