Acts 12
1 Now about that time, Herod the king laid hands on some from the church to mistreat them.
Pakwegera shipindi shiraa shilii, mfalumi Herodi kanjiti kuwatabisiya wantu wamu yawamjimira Kristu.
2 James, the brother of John, he put to death by sword.
Kamlagiti kwa upanga Yakobu, mlongu gwakuwi Yohani.
3 When he saw that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter as well (it was during the days of the unleavened loaves)
Pakawoniti handa shiweri shitendu ashi shiwafiriziyiti Wayawudi, kendeleyiti, kamubata Peteru. Ashi shitendikiti shipindi sha msambu gwa libumunda lyangali kutulwa simika.
4 —upon seizing him he put him in prison, turning him over to sixteen soldiers to guard him, intending 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 Well Peter was being held in the prison all right, but the congregation was making earnest prayer to God on his behalf.
Su, Peteru pakaweriti mushibetubetu, kumbiti wantu wa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu waweriti wankumluwira kwa Mlungu.
6 So when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with guards protecting the prison in front of the doors.
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 was there, and a light shone in the cell; striking Peter on the side he roused him saying, “Quick, get up!” and the chains fell away from 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 Then the angel said to him, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” So he did. Then he said to him, “Put on your cloak 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 he went out and started following him, not realizing that what the angel was doing was real; he supposed he was 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 Passing through the first and second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, that opened for them by itself; upon exiting they advanced one block, and suddenly the angel 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 When Peter had come to himself he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord sent His angel and delivered me out of Herod's hand and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.”
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 Upon reflection he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John (the one called Mark), where a considerable number had gathered and were praying.
Pakavimaniti hangu kagenditi kanongola mpaka ukaya kwa Mariya mawu gwakuwi Yohani Mariku, Amu wantu wavuwa waweriti wajojinika pawaluwa Mlungu.
13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Peteru kapiga hodi kumlyangu gwa kunja, na ntundami yumu litawu lyakuwi Roda kagenda kumlyangu kwitikira.
14 Upon recognizing Peter's voice, she was so glad she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing 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, “You're crazy!” but she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, “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 kept on knocking; so when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
Shipindi ashi Peteru kaweriti kendeleyiti kupiga hodi. Upeleru wavugula mlyangu, wamwona, walikangasha.
17 Motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. Then he said, “Tell these things to James and the brothers.” And going out he went off to a different 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 as soon as it was day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers about what had become of Peter!
Pawushiyiti, lilawiriti lyoga likulu pakati pa wanjagila walii kuusu yagaweriti gamlawiriti Peteru.
19 Well after searching for him and not finding him, Herod examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Going down from Judea to Caesarea, he stayed 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 very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; so they came with one accord to him, and having won over Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king's.
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 So on an appointed day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on the throne and started to deliver an address to them.
Lishaka limu lyalisyagulitwi, Herodi kaweriti kavala nguwu lasimi na kulivaga mushiti sha mfalumi, na kawabweliriti wantu.
22 But the crowd started calling out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”
“Ali ndo liziwu lya Mlungu, lya muntu ndiri.”
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give glory to God, and being eaten by worms, he died.
Pala panu ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kamgusiya Herodi pasi toziya kampanana ndiri Mlungu nzyumi azi. Wamliya wasangu, kahowa.
24 And the Word of God kept growing and multiplying.
Shisoweru sha Mlungu shizidi kweneya na kukula.
25 Now Barnabas and Saul returned to Antioch, having fulfilled their mission, also taking with them John, the one called Mark.
Pa Barinaba na Sauli kujimira utenderu wawu, walawiti kayi Yerusalemu, wamtola Yohani yawamshema viraa Mariku.
