Acts 12
1 Around this time King Herod began to persecute some members of the church.
Mu mwanya ogwo omukama Herode nagolola okubhoko kwae ku bhanu abhandi bhalya abhasoka mu likofyanyisho koleleki abhanyashe.
2 He had James, John's brother, executed by sword.
Namwita Yakobo omumula wabho Yohana kwa lipanga.
3 When he saw that the Jews were pleased by this, he had Peter arrested too. (This was during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.)
Ejile alola ati jabhakondela Abhayaudi, namugwata Petro lindi. Gunu gwaliga guli mwanya gwa jinsiku je emikate jinu jitalimo chifwimbhya.
4 After having Peter arrested, he threw him in prison, with four squads of four soldiers each to guard him. He planned to have Peter brought out for a public trial after the Passover.
Ejile amugwata, namuta mwibhoyelo natao kuti bhise bhina bya bhasilikale koleleki bhamulinde, aliga nenda okumusila ku bhanu ikamala okulabhao ipasaka.
5 While Peter was kept in prison the church prayed earnestly to God for him.
Petro natulwa mwibhoyelo, nawe lisabhwa nilikolwa kwa mananga ne likofyanyisho lyona ingulu yae ku Nyamuanga.
6 The night before Herod was to have him put on trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, chained to each of them, and with guards at the door keeping watch.
Luchali kukinga olusiku lwa Herode okuja okumusoshamo, mugeta eyo Petro aliga amamile agati-gati ya bhasilikale bhabhili kenu abhoyelwe na mabhoyelo na bhalindi imbhele yo mulyango gwa libhoyelo.
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. The angel shook Peter awake, saying “Quick! Get up!” The chains fell from his wrists,
Lola, Malaika wa Latabugenyi ao nao namusolomokela mu bhwelu bhunu bhaliga bhusekana namunda ya inyumba. Namubhuma Petro mulubhafu no kumulafya naika,”Imuka bhwangu.” Mbe ebhibhoyelo bhinu bhyaliga bhimubhoyele nibhisulumuka nibhisoka mu mabhoko gae.
8 and the angel told him, “Get dressed, and put on your sandals.” So he did. Then the angel told him, “Put on your coat and follow me.”
Malaika namubhwila,”nufwale jingubho ne bhikwilya bhyao.” Petro nakola kutyo. Malaika namubhwila,”fwala ebhifwalo bhyao na undubhe.”
9 So Peter followed the angel out. He didn't realize that what the angel was doing was actually happening—he thought he was seeing a vision.
Kulwejo Petro namulubha malaika Mbe nauluka anja. Atekilisishe chinu chakolelwe na malaika kuti ni ja chimali. Aliga netogela ati kalola bhilolo.
10 They passed the first and second sets of guards, and came to the iron gate that led into the city. This opened for them by itself. They went out and down the street, when suddenly the angel left him.
Ejile Alabha kwilindo lyo kwamba ne lya kabhili, nibhakinga ku lwigi lwe chuma olwo kwingilila okuja mu musi, nilubhegukila olwene ingulu ya abhene. nibhauluka anja nibhatula kumwila, okumala malaika namusiga.
11 When Peter came to his senses, he said, “Now I realize this really happened! The Lord sent an angel to rescue me from Herod's power, and from everything that the Jewish people had planned.”
Petro ejile emenya, naika ati, “oli nekilisha ati Latabugenyi niwe amatuma malaika wae koleleki bhansoshe mu mabhoko ga Herode, na mu bhwima bhwa bhanu bhone abha Bhayaudi.
12 Now that he was conscious of what had happened, Peter went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark. Many believers had gathered there, and were praying.
Wejile Amala okumenya ganu, naja ku nyumba ya Mariamu nyilamwene Yohana unu elindi ni Marko; Abhakristo bhafu bhekofyanyishe nibhasabhwa.
13 When he knocked on the gateway door, a servant girl called Rhoda came to open up.
Ejile akonona ku lwigi lunu olwigala lilango, omukosi umwi we chiyalakaji unukatogwa Roda naja okwigula
14 But recognizing Peter's voice, in her excitement she didn't open the door. Instead she ran back inside shouting, “Peter's at the door!”
. Ejile abhumenya obhulaka bhwa Petro kwo bhukondeleywe natamibhwa okugwigula omulyango; amwi nebhyo, nabhilimila munju no kubhamenyesha ati Petro emeleguyu anja imbhele yo mulyango.
15 “You're mad!” they told her. But she kept on insisting it was true. So they said, “It must be his angel.”
Kwibhyo, nibhamubhwila ati “wasala” nawe mwenene nagendelela-la okubhabhwila no kukomelesha ati ni chimali nio omwene. Nibhaika ati “oyo ni malaika wae.”
16 Peter continued knocking. When they did eventually open the door, they saw it was him, and were totally shocked.
Mbe nawe Petro nagendelelala okukonona, bhejile bhagwigula omulyango, nibhamulola Mbe nibhatang'ang'ala muno. Petro nabhajibhisha kwo kubhoko bhujibie-jibhie no kubhabhwila lwa kutyo Latabugenyi amusolomokee mwibhoyelo. Naika,”
17 Peter held up his hand for them to be quiet, and then explained to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. “Let James and the brothers know about this,” he told them, and then left to go somewhere else.
nubhamenyeshe amasango ganu Yakobo na bhaili bhae.” Okumala nasokao nagenda mwibhala lindi.
18 When daylight came the soldiers were totally confused as to what had happened to Peter.
Mbe yejile yakinga mumwisi, nibhubhao obhusulumbhae bhwafu mu bhasilikale, okulubhana na chinu chabhonekene ku Petro.
19 Herod had a thorough search made for him, but he couldn't be found. After interrogating the guards, Herod ordered that they should be executed. Then Herod left Judea and went to stay in Caesarea.
Ejile Herode namuyenja nawe nalema omubhona nabhabhusha abhalindi no kulagilila bhetwe. Nasokao bhuyaudi nagenda Kaisaria no kwikala eyo.
20 Now Herod had become furious with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They sent a joint delegation to see him and managed to win Blastus, the king's personal assistant, over to their side. They pleaded for peace with Herod because they were dependent on the king's territory for food.
Herode aliga abhanyigalie abhanu bha Tiro na Sidoni. Nibhagendela amwi ewae. Nibhabha no bhusani na Blasto omusakisi wo mkama, koleleki abhasakile. Okumala nibhasabhwa omlembe, ku nsonga echalo chebhwe chabhwene ebhilyo okusoka mu Chalo cho bhukama.
21 When the day came for their appointment with the king, Herod put on his royal robes, sat on his throne, and gave a speech to them.
olusiku lunu Herode aliga alulamulie nafwala ebhifwalo bhye chikama no kwinyanja ku chitebhe chae eche chikama, no kubhasimulila.
22 The audience shouted in response, “This is the voice of a god, not that of a man!”
Abhanu nibhayogana,” bhunu ni bhulaka bhwa Nyamuanga nolwo bhutali bhulaka bhwo mwana munu!”
23 Immediately the angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory. He was consumed by worms and died.
Ao nao malaika namubhuma, kulwo kubha atamuyae Nyamuanga likusho; nalibhwa na liuka nafwa.
24 But the word of God spread, and more and more people believed.
Mbe nawe omusango gwa Nyamuanga nigukula no kwiyongesha muno.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem once they had finished their mission, taking John Mark with them.
Barnaba na Sauli Bhejile bhamala obhufulubhendi bhwebhwe nibhasokao ao nibhasubha Yerusalemu, nibhamugega na Yohana unu lisina lyae elyo inogwa (bhwibhulwa) ni Marko.
