< Acts 12 >

1 And at that time Herod the king, who was surnamed Agrippa, laid hands on some of the church, to maltreat them.
Mu mwanya ogwo omukama Herode nagolola okubhoko kwae ku bhanu abhandi bhalya abhasoka mu likofyanyisho koleleki abhanyashe.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Namwita Yakobo omumula wabho Yohana kwa lipanga.
3 And when he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded also to arrest Simon Cephas. And the days of unleavened bread were then passing.
Ejile alola ati jabhakondela Abhayaudi, namugwata Petro lindi. Gunu gwaliga guli mwanya gwa jinsiku je emikate jinu jitalimo chifwimbhya.
4 He seized him and cast him into prison, and delivered him to sixteen soldiers, who were to guard him; that he might, after the passover, deliver him up to the people of the Jews.
Ejile amugwata, namuta mwibhoyelo natao kuti bhise bhina bya bhasilikale koleleki bhamulinde, aliga nenda okumusila ku bhanu ikamala okulabhao ipasaka.
5 And while Simon was in custody in the prison, continual prayer to God in his behalf, was offered to God by the church.
Petro natulwa mwibhoyelo, nawe lisabhwa nilikolwa kwa mananga ne likofyanyisho lyona ingulu yae ku Nyamuanga.
6 And on the night before the morning in which he was to be delivered up, while Simon was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains, and others were guarding the doors of the prison;
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 an angel of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in all the building; and he pricked his side, and awaked him, and said to him: Arise, instantly. And the chains fell from his hands.
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 said to him: Gird thy loins, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And again he said to him: Wrap thyself in thy cloak, and come after me.
Malaika namubhwila,”nufwale jingubho ne bhikwilya bhyao.” Petro nakola kutyo. Malaika namubhwila,”fwala ebhifwalo bhyao na undubhe.”
9 And he went out and followed him, not knowing that what had been done by the angel was a reality; for he supposed, that he saw a vision.
Kulwejo Petro namulubha malaika Mbe nauluka anja. Atekilisishe chinu chakolelwe na malaika kuti ni ja chimali. Aliga netogela ati kalola bhilolo.
10 And when the first ward was passed and the second, they came to the iron gate, and it opened to them of its own accord. And when they had gone out, and had passed one street, the angel departed from 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 Then Simon recognized where he was; and he said: Now I know, in reality, that God hath sent his angel, and delivered me from the hand of Herod the king, and from what the Jews were devising against me.
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 And when he had considered, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark; because many brethren were assembled there and praying.
Wejile Amala okumenya ganu, naja ku nyumba ya Mariamu nyilamwene Yohana unu elindi ni Marko; Abhakristo bhafu bhekofyanyishe nibhasabhwa.
13 And he knocked at the gate of the court; and a maid named Rhoda came to reply to him.
Ejile akonona ku lwigi lunu olwigala lilango, omukosi umwi we chiyalakaji unukatogwa Roda naja okwigula
14 And she recognized the voice of Simon: and, In her joy, she did not open to him the gate, but ran back, and told them: Lo, Simon is standing at the gate of the court.
. Ejile abhumenya obhulaka bhwa Petro kwo bhukondeleywe natamibhwa okugwigula omulyango; amwi nebhyo, nabhilimila munju no kubhamenyesha ati Petro emeleguyu anja imbhele yo mulyango.
15 They said to her: Thou art delirious. But she maintained that it was a fact. They said to her: Perhaps it is his ghost.
Kwibhyo, nibhamubhwila ati “wasala” nawe mwenene nagendelela-la okubhabhwila no kukomelesha ati ni chimali nio omwene. Nibhaika ati “oyo ni malaika wae.”
16 And Simon was knocking at the gate; and they went out, saw him, and were astonished.
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 And he beckoned to them with the hand to be still; and he went in, and related to them how the Lord had released him from the prison. And he said to them: Tell these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place.
nubhamenyeshe amasango ganu Yakobo na bhaili bhae.” Okumala nasokao nagenda mwibhala lindi.
18 And when it was morning, there was a great dispute among the soldiers concerning Simon, what had become of him.
Mbe yejile yakinga mumwisi, nibhubhao obhusulumbhae bhwafu mu bhasilikale, okulubhana na chinu chabhonekene ku Petro.
19 And Herod, when he sought him, and could not find him, arraigned the keepers, and sentenced them to die. And he went from Judaea, and resided at Caesarea.
Ejile Herode namuyenja nawe nalema omubhona nabhabhusha abhalindi no kulagilila bhetwe. Nasokao bhuyaudi nagenda Kaisaria no kwikala eyo.
20 And because he was angry against the Tyrians and Sidonians, they assembled and came to him in a body; and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they begged of him that they might have peace; because the supplies of their country were derived from the kingdom of Herod.
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 And on a day appointed, Herod was arrayed in royal apparel, and sat on a tribunal, and made a speech to the assembly.
olusiku lunu Herode aliga alulamulie nafwala ebhifwalo bhye chikama no kwinyanja ku chitebhe chae eche chikama, no kubhasimulila.
22 And all the people shouted, and said: These are the utterances of a God, and not of a mortal.
Abhanu nibhayogana,” bhunu ni bhulaka bhwa Nyamuanga nolwo bhutali bhulaka bhwo mwana munu!”
23 And, because he gave not the glory to God, immediately the angel of God smote him; and he was eaten of worms, and died.
Ao nao malaika namubhuma, kulwo kubha atamuyae Nyamuanga likusho; nalibhwa na liuka nafwa.
24 And the gospel of God was proclaimed, and made progress.
Mbe nawe omusango gwa Nyamuanga nigukula no kwiyongesha muno.
25 And Barnabas and Saul, after they had completed their ministration, returned from Jerusalem to Antioch. And they took with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
Barnaba na Sauli Bhejile bhamala obhufulubhendi bhwebhwe nibhasokao ao nibhasubha Yerusalemu, nibhamugega na Yohana unu lisina lyae elyo inogwa (bhwibhulwa) ni Marko.
