Acts 12
1 Now, in the course of that season, Herod the king thrust forth his hands to harm some of them of the assembly, —
Papipi na Lukumbi lwenulo, Nkosi Helodi atumbwili kuvang'aha msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
2 And slew James the brother of John with a sword;
Ahamwili Yakobo akomiwa na upanga, mlongo wa Yohani.
3 And, seeing that it was acceptable unto the Jews, he went on to apprehend Peter also (now they 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 Whom also having seized, he put into prison, delivering him up unto four quaternions of soldiers, to be guarding him, —intending, after the passover, to bring him up unto 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 the prison; but, prayer, was, earnestly, being made by the assembly, unto God, concerning 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, on that night, was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, guards, also, before the door, were keeping 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 lo! a messenger of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in the cell; and, smiting the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying—Rise up quickly! And his chains fell off out of 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 messenger said unto him—Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him—Throw around thee thy mantle, and be following me.
Hinu mtumu wa Kunani kwa Chapanga akamjovela, “Kunga mkungi na champali zaku.” Kangi akamjovela, “Uwala likoti laku na unilandayi.”
9 And, coming out, he began following, and knew not that it was true which was coming about through means of the messenger; but supposed that, a vision, he was beholding.
Petili akamlanda mbaka kuvala, nambu nakumanya kuvya gegihengeka na mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga gala ndi gachakaka, aholalili manya ilota maono.
10 And, passing through the first ward and the second, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city, the which, of its own accord, opened unto them; and, coming out, they went on through one street, and, straightway, the messenger was parted 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, coming to himself said—Now, know I, of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his messenger, and taken 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 And, considering the matter, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where a considerable number were gathered 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, when he had knocked at the door of the porch, there came unto it a maiden to hearken, by name Rhoda;
Petili ahodisi mlyangu wa kuvala na mdala mmonga mtumisi liina laki Loda, akamyidakila.
14 And, recognizing the voice of Peter, by reason of her joy, she opened not the porch, —but, running in, bare tidings that Peter was standing before the porch. But, they, unto her, said—Thou art raving
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 She, however, kept on strongly declaring that, so, it was. But, they, were saying—It is his, messenger.
Vakamjovela msikana yula, “Una lupengu!” Nambu mwene akakangamala kujova chakaka. Vene vakamyangula, “Mwenuyo ndi manya mtumi waki.”
16 And, Peter, continued knocking; and, opening, they saw him, and were amazed.
Lukumbi lwenulo Petili ayendelela kuhodisa mlyangu. Pamwishu vakadindula mlyangu pavamuwene vakakangasa neju.
17 But, making a sign to them with his hand to hold their peace, he related to them how, the Lord, had brought, him, forth out of the prison; and he said—Carry tidings unto James and the brethren, as to these things. And, going out, he went his way unto some other 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, when it became day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what, then, Peter had become!
Kwapachili wogohi wavayingili manjolinjoli vala, vakatumbula kukotana, “Kyani chechimkolili Petili?”
19 And, Herod, seeking after and not finding, him, having examined the guards, ordered them to be led away [to death]; and, going down from Judaea unto Caesarea, stayed 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 Now he was bitterly hostile to them of Tyre and Zidon; but, with one accord, they came unto him, and, persuading Blastus, who was over the bed-chamber of the king, they were suing for peace; because their country was fed by 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 an appointed day, Herod, putting on royal apparel, and seating himself upon the tribunal, proceeded to deliver an oration unto them.
Ligono limonga lelahaguliwi, Helodi kuni awalili nyula yaki ya unkosi na kutama pachigoda cha unkosi, avakokosili vandu.
22 And, the populace, began to shout—A god’s, voice, and not, a man’s!
Vandu vala vakaluluta kwa lwami vakajova, “Lwenulo ndi lwami lwa chapanga, lepi lwa mundu.”
23 And, instantly, there smote him, a messenger of the Lord, because he gave not the glory unto God; and, becoming worm-eaten, 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 the Lord, went on growing and multiplying.
Nambu Lilovi la Chapanga likayonjokesa kukula na kudandasika.
25 And, Barnabas and Saul, returned unto Jerusalem, fulfilling the ministering, taking with them John who was surnamed Mark.
Banaba na Sauli pevamalili lihengu lavi, vakawuya ku Yelusalemu vakamtola Yohani mweikemiwa Maluko.
