Acts 12
1 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
Pakwegera shipindi shiraa shilii, mfalumi Herodi kanjiti kuwatabisiya wantu wamu yawamjimira Kristu.
2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
Kamlagiti kwa upanga Yakobu, mlongu gwakuwi Yohani.
3 And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Pakawoniti handa shiweri shitendu ashi shiwafiriziyiti Wayawudi, kendeleyiti, kamubata Peteru. Ashi shitendikiti shipindi sha msambu gwa libumunda lyangali kutulwa simika.
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.
Pamberi pakumkamla, Peteru katatilwa mshibetubetu, katulwa pasi pa mlolera gwa vipinga vyamsheshi vya wanjagila wamsheshi wamsheshi. Herodi kafiriti kumtula paweru pagupititi msambu gwa Pasaka.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
Su, Peteru pakaweriti mushibetubetu, kumbiti wantu wa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu waweriti wankumluwira kwa Mlungu.
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.
Pashiru pamberi pa lishaka lilii lyeni Herodi hakamlaviyi Peteru paweru, Peteru kaweriti kagonja pakati pa wanjagila wawili wawili. Kaweriti kayopwa minyololu miwili, na walolera waweriti wankulolera mlyangu gwa shibetubetu.
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.
Vumu, ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kagoloka pakwegera nayomberi na uweru ulangala mshumba mshibetubetu. Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamshinkula Peteru mluwavu kamyumusiya pakatakula, “Guwuki kanongola!” Kamukamu minyololu ilii yayitawitwi mmawoku idumuka na ituluka pasi.
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.”
Shakapanu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kamgambira, “Gulitawi mshipi gwaku, guvali vilwatu vyaku.” Peteru Katenda hangu. Shakapanu Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi ayu kamgambira, “Guvali likoti lyaku, gunfati.”
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.
Peteru kamfata kunja kumbiti kavimana ndiri handa aga gagatenditwi na ntumintumi gwa kumpindi ayu gaweriti ga nakaka, kalihola kaweriti kankulota mumbota.
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.
Wapititi shituwu sha kwanja sha kulolilera na sha pili, shakapanu wasoka kumlyangu gwa kwingilira mlushi. Hangu mlyangu guwavugukira, nawomberi walawa kunja. Waweriti wankugendagenda munjira yimu su ntumintumi gwa kumpindi ulii kamleka Peteru.
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.”
Panu Peteru ndo kavimaniti yagalawiriti, katakula, “Vinu nuvimana nakaka handa Mtuwa kamtuma ntumintumi gwakuwi gwa kumpindi kanopoziyi mumawoku mwa Herodi na kulawa muvitwatira vilii vyoseri Wayawudi watumbiriti galawili.”
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.
Pakavimaniti hangu kagenditi kanongola mpaka ukaya kwa Mariya mawu gwakuwi Yohani Mariku, Amu wantu wavuwa waweriti wajojinika pawaluwa Mlungu.
13 He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
Peteru kapiga hodi kumlyangu gwa kunja, na ntundami yumu litawu lyakuwi Roda kagenda kumlyangu kwitikira.
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!”
Mhinja kalimaniti liziwu lya Peteru kanemelera nentu, Mhinja ulii kawuya utuga bila kuvugula Mlyangu na kuwagambira handa Peteru kaweriti kagoloka kunja kumlyangu.
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.”
Wamgambira mhinja ulii, “Gwana lukwali!” Kumbiti yomberi kakazaniyiti handa iweriti nakaka. Nawomberi wamgambira, “Ayu ndo ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwakuwi.”
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
Shipindi ashi Peteru kaweriti kendeleyiti kupiga hodi. Upeleru wavugula mlyangu, wamwona, walikangasha.
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.
Peteru kawapungira liwoku walikali jiii, na kawagambira Mtuwa ntambu yakamlaviyiti mshibetubetu. Kawagambira walaviyi shisoweru sha shitwatira ashi kwa Yakobu na walii walongu wamonga, shakapanu kalawa kagenda pahala pingikayi.
18 At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
Pawushiyiti, lilawiriti lyoga likulu pakati pa wanjagila walii kuusu yagaweriti gamlawiriti Peteru.
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.
Herodi kaamuwiti wagutendi msaku kumbiti waweza ndiri kumpata. Hangu kaamuwiti wanjagila walii wawakosiyi, kalagalira wawalagi. Shakapanu kalawa aku Yudeya, kagenda Kaisariya kalikaliti kweni aku.
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.
Herodi kakalaziwitwi nentu na wantu wa Tiru na Sidoni. Kumbiti womberi wamjegiriti ujumbi. Nawomberi wafawulu kwanja kumpata Bilastu kaweri uwega wawomberi. Bilastu kaweriti mgolokera mkulu gwa ikulu ya mfalumi. Shakapanu, kamgendera Herodi wamluwa kuweri na ponga, kwa mana isi yawu ilitumbiriti isi ya mfalumi kwa shiboga.
21 On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
Lishaka limu lyalisyagulitwi, Herodi kaweriti kavala nguwu lasimi na kulivaga mushiti sha mfalumi, na kawabweliriti wantu.
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
“Ali ndo liziwu lya Mlungu, lya muntu ndiri.”
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.
Pala panu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamgusiya Herodi pasi toziya kampanana ndiri Mlungu nzyumi azi. Wamliya wasangu, kahowa.
24 But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
Shisoweru sha Mlungu shizidi kweneya na kukula.
25 When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
Pa Barinaba na Sauli kujimira utenderu wawu, walawiti kayi Yerusalemu, wamtola Yohani yawamshema viraa Mariku.
