Acts 12
1 About that time King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church in order to harm them.
Katema kakoko mwenye che Helode, ŵatandite kwalagasya ŵandu ŵampepe wa mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
2 He killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Ni ŵambuleje che Yakobo mpwakwe che Yohana ni lipanga.
3 And when he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (This took place during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.)
Paŵaiweni kuti chitendo cho chanonyelesye Ŵayahudi, ŵapundisye, ŵaakamwile che Petulo nombe nawo. Yeleyo yatendekwe katema ka chindimba cha mikate jangatajikwa amila.
4 After seizing him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod planned to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
Paŵankamwile che Petulo, ŵammisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni kwaŵika paasi pa mipingo ncheche ja ŵangondo ncheche ncheche kuti ŵalindilile. Che Helode ŵasachile kwakoposya che Petulo kwa ŵandu pakumala chindimba cha Ŵayahudi cha mikate jangatajikwa amila chachikuŵilanjikwa Pasaka.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.
Nipele, che Petulo paŵaliji mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jila, katema kakoko mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵalimbile kwapopelela kwa Akunnungu kwa mitima jao jose.
6 The very night before Herod was going to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while the guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison.
Chilo, likanaŵe kwika lyuŵa lilyatiji che Helode ankoposye che Petulo pa ŵandu, che Petulo ŵagonile pasikati ja ŵangondo ŵaŵili, ali ataŵikwe ni minyolo jiŵili ni ŵakulindilila ŵaliji nkulindilila pannango wa nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jila.
7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before Peter, and a light shone in the cell. The angel struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off Peter's hands.
Chisisimuchile, katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵajimilile ni lilanguka lyalanguchisye mu chuumba mo. Ni katumetume jo ŵantingenye che Petulo mu mbalati ni kwajimusya achitiji, “Njimuche chitema pe!” Papopo unyolo wawantaŵile mmakono wakutwiche ni kugwa paasi.
8 Then the angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on yoʋr sandals.” And Peter did so. Then the angel said to him, “Put on yoʋr cloak and follow me.”
Katumetume jwa kwinani ŵansalile, “Nlitaŵe nkaanda wenu, mmwale ni italawanda yenu.” Che Petulo ŵatesile yeleyo ni katumetume jo ŵansalile, “Mmwale likoti lyenu munguye.”
9 So Peter went out and followed him, but he did not realize that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.
Che Petulo ŵankuiye mpaka paasa pa nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, nambo nganamanyililaga kuti yele iyatendekwaga ni katumetume jwa kwinani jo yaliji isyene, ŵaganisisye kuti akwiwona yakwiwona.
10 After they passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them on its own, and they went out. When they had gone the length of one street, the angel immediately left him.
Ŵapite liuto lyaandanda ni lyaaŵili lya ŵakulindilila, ŵaiche pannango wa chisyano wakwinjilila mmusi. Nnango wo waugwiche usyene, nombewo ŵakopweche paasa. Ni ŵaliji nkwenda litala limo ni papopo katumetume jwa kwinani jo ŵannesile che Petulo jikape.
11 When Peter came to his senses, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from everything the Jewish people were expecting to happen.”
Pelepo che Petulo ŵaimanyi iyakopochele ni ŵatite, “Sambano ngumanyilila kusyene kuti, Ambuje antumile katumetume jwao jwa kwinani kukungulupusya mu ulamusi u che Helode ni kungoposya mu iŵailolelaga Ŵayahudi kuti ikopochele.”
12 When Peter realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John (who was called Mark), where many had gathered together and were praying.
Paŵaimanyilile yeleyo ŵajawile ku nyuumba ji che Maliamu achikulugwe che Yohana jwakuŵilanjikwa che Maliko. Mwelemo ŵasongangene ŵandu ŵajinji kupopela.
13 Peter knocked at the door of the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Che Petulo ŵapoposile pannango wa paasa ni ŵaiche katumetume mwali liina lyakwe che Loda kukupilikanila.
14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed that she did not open the gate, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
Mwali jo paŵalimanyilile liloŵe li che Petulo, nganaugula nnango kwa ligongo lya kusengwa, nambo ŵautuchile nkati ni kwasalila kuti che Petulo ali pannango.
15 They said to her, “Yoʋ are out of yoʋr mind.” But when she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It is his angel.”
Ni ŵanyawo ŵansalile mwali jo, “Ntekupungwana!” Nombejo ŵalimbile kuti isyene ali ŵawowo. Ni ŵanyawo ŵansalile, “Jwelejo ali katumetume jwao jwa kwinani.”
16 Meanwhile Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the gate, they saw him and were astonished.
Ni katema kakoko che Petulo ŵapundile kupoposya pannango. Nipele paŵaugwile nnango ŵambweni, ni kusimonga.
17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he told them how the Lord had brought him out of prison. He also said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he left and went to another place.
Che Petulo ŵagolwesye nkono kuti amyalale, ni kwasalila iŵatite Ambuje pakwakoposya mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa. Nipele ŵaasalile akaalanjile yelei che Yakobo ni achalongo ŵane ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, nombejo ŵatyosile ni kwaula kwine.
18 When daybreak came, there was a great commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
Pakwachele, ŵangondo ŵala ŵapundile kola lipamba lyelikulungwa yankati chichasimene che Petulo.
19 When Herod searched for him but did not find him, he questioned the guards and ordered them to be led away and executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent time there.
Nipele che Helode ŵatite asosekwe nambo nganiŵaona. Nipele ŵalamwile kuti ŵaausye ŵangondo ŵala, ni ŵatyosisye lilamulo kuti aulajikwe. Nipele che Helode ŵatyosile ku Yudea, ŵajawile ku Kaisalia ni kutama kukoko kwa moŵa gampepe.
20 Now Herod was having an angry dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him with one accord, and having won over Blastus, the king's personal attendant, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king's country.
Che Helode ŵaatumbilile nnope ŵandu ŵa ku Tilo ni ku Sidoni. Nambo ŵanyawo kwa pamo ŵaajaulile che Helode. Ŵakombwele kusyoŵekana ni che Blasto juŵaliji jwakuchimbichikwa ni jwakulindilila nyuumba ja mwenye, kuti aŵe pamo ni ŵanyawo. Che Blasto ŵaajaulile che Helode ni kwachondelela kuti kuŵe ni chitendewele, pakuŵa chilambo chao chakulupililaga chakulya kutyochela ku chilambo cha mwenye.
21 On an appointed day Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat down on the platform, and made a speech to them.
Pa lyuŵa lilyasagulikwe, che Helode ŵawete iwalo ya umwenye ni kutama pa chitengu chao cha umwenye, ni kukunguluka ni ŵandu.
22 The people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”
Ni ŵandu ŵala ŵanyanyisye achitiji, “Ali lili liloŵe lya nnungu, nganiliŵa lya mundu.”
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod down because he did not give glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last breath.
Papopo katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵangwisisye che Helode paasi, pakuŵa nganiŵapa Akunnungu ukulu wo. Ni jakamwile mbango ni kuwa.
24 But the word of God increased and multiplied.
Nambo Liloŵe lya Akunnungu lyapundile kwenela.
25 And when Barnabas and Saul completed their ministry, they returned to Jerusalem and brought with them John, who was called Mark.
Che Banaba ni che Sauli paŵamalisisye masengo ga Akunnungu, ŵanjigele che Yohana jwakuŵilanjikwa che Maliko ni kuuja kutyochela ku Yelusalemu.
