Acts 12
1 And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
Pakwegera shipindi shiraa shilii, mfalumi Herodi kanjiti kuwatabisiya wantu wamu yawamjimira Kristu.
2 And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
Kamlagiti kwa upanga Yakobu, mlongu gwakuwi Yohani.
3 And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
Pakawoniti handa shiweri shitendu ashi shiwafiriziyiti Wayawudi, kendeleyiti, kamubata Peteru. Ashi shitendikiti shipindi sha msambu gwa libumunda lyangali kutulwa simika.
4 And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
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 Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
Su, Peteru pakaweriti mushibetubetu, kumbiti wantu wa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu waweriti wankumluwira kwa Mlungu.
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept 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 And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.
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 And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, 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 And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
Peteru kamfata kunja kumbiti kavimana ndiri handa aga gagatenditwi na ntumintumi gwa kumpindi ayu gaweriti ga nakaka, kalihola kaweriti kankulota mumbota.
10 And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from 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 And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
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 considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
Pakavimaniti hangu kagenditi kanongola mpaka ukaya kwa Mariya mawu gwakuwi Yohani Mariku, Amu wantu wavuwa waweriti wajojinika pawaluwa Mlungu.
13 And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.
Peteru kapiga hodi kumlyangu gwa kunja, na ntundami yumu litawu lyakuwi Roda kagenda kumlyangu kwitikira.
14 And as soon as she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before 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 But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.
Wamgambira mhinja ulii, “Gwana lukwali!” Kumbiti yomberi kakazaniyiti handa iweriti nakaka. Nawomberi wamgambira, “Ayu ndo ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwakuwi.”
16 But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
Shipindi ashi Peteru kaweriti kendeleyiti kupiga hodi. Upeleru wavugula mlyangu, wamwona, walikangasha.
17 But he beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison, and he said: Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And going out, he went into 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 Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Pawushiyiti, lilawiriti lyoga likulu pakati pa wanjagila walii kuusu yagaweriti gamlawiriti Peteru.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not; having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death; and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode 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 And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him, and having gained Blastus, who was the king’s chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him.
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 And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.
Lishaka limu lyalisyagulitwi, Herodi kaweriti kavala nguwu lasimi na kulivaga mushiti sha mfalumi, na kawabweliriti wantu.
22 And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
“Ali ndo liziwu lya Mlungu, lya muntu ndiri.”
23 And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.
Pala panu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamgusiya Herodi pasi toziya kampanana ndiri Mlungu nzyumi azi. Wamliya wasangu, kahowa.
24 But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
Shisoweru sha Mlungu shizidi kweneya na kukula.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
Pa Barinaba na Sauli kujimira utenderu wawu, walawiti kayi Yerusalemu, wamtola Yohani yawamshema viraa Mariku.
