Acts 12
1 And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands to do evil to certain of those of the Assembly,
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 having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also—and they were the days of the Unleavened [Bread]—
Peamanyili kuvya lijambu lenilo lavaganisi Vayawudi, ndi ayendalili akamkamula Petili. Lenilo lahengiki lukumbi lwa Mselebuko wa Mabumunda gangali ngemeku.
4 whom also having seized, he put in prison, having delivered [him] to four squads of four soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him forth to the people after the Passover.
Peamali kumkamula Petili, akamsopa muchifungu, akavika manjolinjoli mcheche mu msambi mcheche. Helodi aganili kumuhumisa pavandu pawimalika Mselebuko wa Pasaka.
5 Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the Assembly to God for him,
Hinu, lukumbi Petili avi muchifungu, nambu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vayendalili kumuyupa Chapanga kwa kukangamala.
6 and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards were also keeping the prison before the door,
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, a messenger of the LORD stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having struck Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, “Rise in haste,” and his chains fell from off [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 The messenger also said to him, “Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals”; and he did so; and he says to him, “Cast your garment around and follow me”;
Hinu mtumu wa Kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Kunga mkungi na champali zaku.” Kangi akamjovela, “Uwala likoti laku na unilandayi.”
9 and having gone forth, he was following him, and he did not know that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking 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 and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came to the iron gate that is leading into the city, which opened to them of its own accord, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger 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 Peter having come to himself, said, “Now I have known of a truth that the LORD sent forth His messenger, and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and 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 also, having considered, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.
Peamanyili genago, ndi akahamba mbaka kunyumba ya Maliya nyina waki Yohani mweikemiwa mewawa Maluko. Mwenumo vandu vamahele vakonganiki kumuyupa Chapanga.
13 And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a girl to listen, by name Rhoda,
Petili ahodisi mlyangu wa kuvala na mdala mmonga mtumisi liina laki Loda, akamyidakila.
14 and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,
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 to her, “You are mad”; and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, “It is his messenger”;
Vakamjovela msikana yula, “Una lupengu!” Nambu mwene akakangamala kujova chakaka. Vene vakamyangula, “Mwenuyo ndi manya mtumi waki.”
16 and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,
Lukumbi lwenulo Petili ayendelela kuhodisa mlyangu. Pamwishu vakadindula mlyangu pavamuwene vakakangasa neju.
17 and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the LORD brought him out of the prison, and he said, “Declare these things to James and to the brothers”; and having gone forth, he went on to 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 And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,
Kwapachili wogohi wavayingili manjolinjoli vala, vakatumbula kukotana, “Kyani chechimkolili Petili?”
19 and Herod having sought for him, and having not found, having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding [there].
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 the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came to him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king’s;
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 on a set day, Herod having clothed himself in kingly clothing, and having sat down on the judgment seat, was making an oration to them,
Ligono limonga lelahaguliwi, Helodi kuni awalili nyula yaki ya unkosi na kutama pachigoda cha unkosi, avakokosili vandu.
22 and the populace were shouting, “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 a messenger of the LORD struck him in return for that he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.
Bahapo mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga akamgwisa Helodi pahi ndava amlumbalili lepi Chapanga, ndi akamemenwa na mangokoko ndi afwili.
24 And the word of God grew and multiplied,
Nambu Lilovi la Chapanga likayonjokesa kukula na kudandasika.
25 and Barnabas and Saul turned back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministry, having also taken John with [them], who was surnamed Mark.
Banaba na Sauli pevamalili lihengu lavi, vakawuya ku Yelusalemu vakamtola Yohani mweikemiwa Maluko.
