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, —
Mu thangu yina, ntinu Elode wukangisa ndambu yi batu ba dibundu di Yelusalemi mu diambu di kuba yamisa.
2 And slew James the brother of John with a sword;
Wuvondisa Zaki, khomba Yowani, mu sabala.
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), —
Bu kamona ti Bayuda bamuena diambu beni khini wubuela kangisa Piela; yiba mu thangu nyengo mapha makambu tulu luvi.
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.
Bu kankangisa, wunkotisa mu nloko ayi wutula kumi masodi masambanu muingi mansunga. Mayindu maba yandi, Pasika yawu vioka, ma kunsambisa va ntuala batu.
5 Peter, therefore, was kept in the prison; but, prayer, was, earnestly, being made by the assembly, unto God, concerning him.
Piela wuba mu nloko; vayi dibundu disambila zitsambulu, mu kambu vonga kuidi Nzambi mu diambu diandi.
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.
Vayi thangu Elode kaba mayindu ma kunsambisa, mu builu buna Piela wuba wuleka va khatitsika masodi muadi. Wuba wukangama mu zisieni zizole. Minsungi miba va muelo mu sunga nloko.
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.
Tala mbasi yi Pfumu yitotuka ayi kiezila kingolo kikienzulanloko. Mbasi yisimba Piela mu luvati, yinkotula ayi yinkamba: —Temala nsualu. Zisieni ziba mu mioko miandi zidabuda.
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.
Bosi mbasi yinkamba: —Vuata minledi miaku ayi zisapatu. Wuvanga buawu. Mbasi yinkamba diaka: —Buela tetika yunga kiaku bosi ndandakana.
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.
Piela wutotuka mu nloko, wunlandakana. Kasia zaba ko ti mambu momo mavanga mbasi maba makiedika vayi kabanzila ti tsongolo kalembo moni.
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.
Bu bavioka vaba minsungi mitheti ayi vaba minsungi mimmuadi, buna batula va muelo wusengo wuyenda ku ndambu yi divula, wuzibuka wawu veka! Bu batotuka ayi bayenda nate ku tsongi nzila. Tumbu zimbukila mbasi yizimbala va meso ma Piela.
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.
Diela di Piela bu divutukisa, Piela wukamba: “Buabu khikinini ti Pfumu fidisidi mbasiꞌandi, yikhudidi mu mioko mi Elode ayi mu mambu momo Bayuda bazodidi kuphangila.”
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.
Bu kabakula buawu, wuyenda ku nzo Maliya, ngudi yi Yowani diodi baba ntedilanga Malako, kuawu kukutakana batu bawombo ayi basambila.
13 And, when he had knocked at the door of the porch, there came unto it a maiden to hearken, by name Rhoda;
Piela bu kakokuta va muelo, kisadi kimosi kinketo, dizina diandi Lode wuyiza mu vana mvutu.
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
Bu kabakula mbembo Piela; mu diambu di khini kasia zibula ko muelo vayi wuvutuka mu nsualu ayi wuba kamba: —Piela widi va muelo.
15 She, however, kept on strongly declaring that, so, it was. But, they, were saying—It is his, messenger.
—Bawu bankamba: —A ngeyo bati lawukidi e? Vayi wuba kamba ti diambu beni didi di kiedika. Vayi bawu batuba: —Buna mbasi andi.
16 And, Peter, continued knocking; and, opening, they saw him, and were amazed.
Piela wutatamana kokuta, buna bazibula; bammona ayi basimina.
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.
Piela wuba labikisa mu koko muingi babika biyoko, wuba sudikisa buevi Pfumu kantotudila mu nloko. Wuba kamba: —Lukamba mambu mama kuidi Zaki ayi kuidi bakhomba. Bu katotuka, wuyenda ku buangu kinkaka.
18 And, when it became day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what, then, Peter had become!
Buisi bu bukia, tsisi yingolo yibua mu masodi mu diambu masia zaba ko mambu mbi mabuila Piela.
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.
Elode bu kantombisa ayi bu kasia kummona ko, buna wusambisa minsungi mi nloko, ayi wuvana lutumunu lu kuba vondisa. Elode wubotuka mu Yuda ayi wuyenda ku Sezali, wuvuanda kuna.
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,
Elode wufuemina ngolo basi Tile ayi basi Sidoni. Vayi basi Tile ayi Sidoni bawizana, bayiza kuidi niandi. Mu lusadusu lu Balasitusi, mutu wowo wuba nsalanga mu vinga kiba nlekanga ntinu, batomba vutula ndembama bila tsi yi ntinu Elode yiba zingisanga zitsi ziawu.
21 And, on an appointed day, Herod, putting on royal apparel, and seating himself upon the tribunal, proceeded to deliver an oration unto them.
Mu lumbu kioki bawizana, Elode wuvuata minledi miandi mi kitinu; wuvuanda va kundu kiandi ki kitinu, wutona kuba yolukila mu luniemo.
22 And, the populace, began to shout—A god’s, voice, and not, a man’s!
Batu bayamikina: “A keti mbembo yi Nzambi yoyi; yisi yi mutu ko!”
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.
Vana vawu, mbasi yi Nzambi yiyiza kumbeta mu diambu kasia vana nkembo kuidi Nzambi ko. Zimvidi zindia; bosi wufua.
24 And, the word of the Lord, went on growing and multiplying.
Muaki mambu ma Nzambi maluta tembakana ngolo.
25 And, Barnabas and Saul, returned unto Jerusalem, fulfilling the ministering, taking with them John who was surnamed Mark.
Balinabasi ayi Sawuli bu bamanisa kisalu kiawu, babika Yelusalemi. Bayenda ayi Yowani, diodi baba ntedilanga Malako.
