Acts 12
1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
Papipi na Lukumbi lwenulo, Nkosi Helodi atumbwili kuvang'aha msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Ahamwili Yakobo akomiwa na upanga, mlongo wa Yohani.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
Peamanyili kuvya lijambu lenilo lavaganisi Vayawudi, ndi ayendalili akamkamula Petili. Lenilo lahengiki lukumbi lwa Mselebuko wa Mabumunda gangali ngemeku.
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
Peamali kumkamula Petili, akamsopa muchifungu, akavika manjolinjoli mcheche mu msambi mcheche. Helodi aganili kumuhumisa pavandu pawimalika Mselebuko wa Pasaka.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
Hinu, lukumbi Petili avi muchifungu, nambu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vayendalili kumuyupa Chapanga kwa kukangamala.
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.
Kilu kwakona ligono Helodi lealindila kumuhumisa Petili pavandu, Petili agonili pagati ya manjolinjoli vavili. Kuni akungiwi minyololo yivili, na valonda vavi mlyangu wa kujela mukulindila.
7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he stroke Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
Bahapo, mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamuhumila na kuyima papipi nayu na lumuli wamlangisi muchifungu. Mtumu wa Kunani kwa Chapanga yula akamtova Petili muluvafu akamuyumsa akamjovela, “Yumuka kanyata!” Bahapo, minyololo yevamkungalili mu mawoko yikadaukana na kugwa pahi.
8 And the angel said unto him, Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals. And so he did. And he says unto him, Cast your garment about you, and follow me.
Hinu mtumu wa Kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Kunga mkungi na champali zaku.” Kangi akamjovela, “Uwala likoti laku na unilandayi.”
9 And he went out, and followed him; and know not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
Petili akamlanda mbaka kuvala, nambu nakumanya kuvya gegihengeka na mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga gala ndi gachakaka, aholalili manya ilota maono.
10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leads unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
Vapitili msambi wa valonda va kutumbula na kugelekela chingi, ndi vakahika pamlyangu wa lyuma wa kuyingila pamuji. Mlyangu wula wadindwiki wene, navene vakahuma kuvala. Pavagendayi munjila bahapo mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga yula akamleka Petili.
11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know certainly, that the LORD has sent his angel, and has delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Hinu Petili peamanyili gegahumili, akajova, “Hinu nimanya chakaka kuvya Bambu amtumili mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga anisangula kuhuma mu mawoko ga Helodi na mambu goha Vayawudi gevalindalila.”
12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
Peamanyili genago, ndi akahamba mbaka kunyumba ya Maliya nyina waki Yohani mweikemiwa mewawa Maluko. Mwenumo vandu vamahele vakonganiki kumuyupa Chapanga.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
Petili ahodisi mlyangu wa kuvala na mdala mmonga mtumisi liina laki Loda, akamyidakila.
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
Msikana yula amanyili kuvya mweihodisa ndi Petili, akavya na luheku neju, hati kwakona kudindula mlyangu wula ndi akajumbalila mugati kuvajovela kuvya Petili ayimili kuvala ya mlyangu.
15 And they said unto her, You are mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
Vakamjovela msikana yula, “Una lupengu!” Nambu mwene akakangamala kujova chakaka. Vene vakamyangula, “Mwenuyo ndi manya mtumi waki.”
16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
Lukumbi lwenulo Petili ayendelela kuhodisa mlyangu. Pamwishu vakadindula mlyangu pavamuwene vakakangasa neju.
17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go show these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
Mwene akavagunisa kwa kuvalangisa chiwoko, akavadandaulila Bambu cheamusiwi muchifungu. Kangi akavajovela lijambu lenilo vavajovela Yakobo na vamsadika vangi vala, kavili akawuka na kuhamba pandu pangi.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Kwapachili wogohi wavayingili manjolinjoli vala, vakatumbula kukotana, “Kyani chechimkolili Petili?”
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
Helodi akalagazila vamlonda, nambu vamuwene lepi. Hinu akalagiza manjolinjoli vala vakotiwa, kangi akahamula vakomiwa. Helodi akawuka ku Yudea kula, na kuhamba kumuji wa Kaisalia na kutama.
20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
Helodi ayomiswi neju na vandu va ku Tilo na vandu va ku Sidoni, hinu vene vampelekili vajumbi. Vene vakahotola kumkulukisa hoti Blasto avyaa upandi wavi, Blasto avi myimilila mkulu wa nyumba ya Unkosi. Kangi vakamhambila Helodi na kumuyupa kuvya na uteke, muni mulima wavi wahuvalila mulima wa Nkosi ndava ya chakulya.
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
Ligono limonga lelahaguliwi, Helodi kuni awalili nyula yaki ya unkosi na kutama pachigoda cha unkosi, avakokosili vandu.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Vandu vala vakaluluta kwa lwami vakajova, “Lwenulo ndi lwami lwa chapanga, lepi lwa mundu.”
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord stroke him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the spirit.
Bahapo mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamgwisa Helodi pahi ndava amlumbalili lepi Chapanga, ndi akamemenwa na mangokoko ndi afwili.
24 But the word (logos) of God grew and multiplied.
Nambu Lilovi la Chapanga likayonjokesa kukula na kudandasika.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Banaba na Sauli pevamalili lihengu lavi, vakawuya ku Yelusalemu vakamtola Yohani mweikemiwa Maluko.
