Acts 12
1 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.
Yakanga iri nguva inenge imwe cheteyo Mambo Herodhi paakasunga vamwe vaiva nhengo dzekereke, achida kuvatambudza.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Akanga aita kuti Jakobho mukoma waJohani aurayiwe nomunondo.
3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. ( Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
Paakaona kuti izvozvo zvakafadza vaJudha, akapfuurira mberi akandosungawo Petro. Izvi zvakaitika panguva yoMutambo weZvingwa Zvisina Mbiriso.
4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.
Mushure mokumusunga, akamuisa mutorongo, akaita kuti arindwe namapoka mana avarwi, boka rimwe nerimwe riina varwi vana. Herodhi akanga achida kumumisa padare rokutongwa shure kwePasika.
5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing by the church to God for him.
Saka Petro akachengetwa mutorongo, asi kereke yakanga ichimunyengeterera zvikuru kuna Mwari.
6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
Usiku hwaaifanira kumiswa pamberi pedare naHerodhi husati hwasvika, Petro akanga avete pakati pavarwi vaviri, akasungwa nengetani mbiri, uye varindi vakanga vakamira vakarinda vari pamukova.
7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shone in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
Pakarepo mutumwa waShe akaonekwa uye chiedza chakavhenekera muchitokisi. Akarova Petro parutivi ndokumumutsa achiti, “Kurumidza muka!” Ipapo ngetani dzakawa pamaoko aPetro.
8 And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith to him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
Mutumwa akati kwaari, “Pfeka nguo dzako neshangu dzako.” Uye Petro akaita saizvozvo. Mutumwa akati kwaari, “Monera jasi rako ubve wanditevera.”
9 And he went out, and followed him; and knew not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
Petro akamutevera achibuda mutorongo, asi akanga asingazivi kuti zvaiitwa nomutumwa zvakanga zvichitoitika; akafunga kuti aiona chiratidzo.
10 When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel departed from him.
Vakapfuura napavarindi vokutanga nevechipiri ndokusvika pasuo resimbi rakanga rakatarira kuguta. Rakangovazarukira roga, vakapinda nepariri. Vakati vafamba kusvika kumagumo kweimwe nzira, pakarepo mutumwa akamusiya.
11 And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know with certainty, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Ipapo Petro akapengenuka akati, “Zvino ndava kuziva ndisingatongokahadziki kuti Ishe atuma mutumwa wake uye andinunura pamaoko aHerodhi napazvinhu zvose zvanga zvakatarisirwa navanhu vechiJudha.”
12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
Izvi zvakati zvajeka kwaari, akaenda kumba kwaMaria mai vaJohani, ainziwo Mako, uko kwakanga kwakaungana vanhu vazhinji vachinyengetera.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.
Petro akagogodza pamukova wokunze, musikana ainzi Rodha akauya kuzodaira kugogodza uku.
14 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.
Akati anzwa kuti inzwi raPetro, akafara zvikuru akadzokera achimhanya asati atongozarura musuo akavaudza akati, “Petro ari pamukova!”
15 And they said to her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.
Vakati kwaari, “Wava kupenga.” Paakaramba achisimbisisa kuti zvakanga zviri izvo, ivo vakati, “Anofanira kunge ari mutumwa wake.”
16 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
Asi Petro akaramba achigogodza, uye vakati vazarura mukova, vakamuona vakashamiswa.
17 But he, beckoning to them with the hand to hold their peace, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go show these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
Petro akaninira maoko ake kwavari kuti vanyarare ndokurondedzera kuti Ishe akanga amubudisa sei mutorongo. Akati, “Muudze Jakobho nehama pamusoro paizvozvi.” Ipapo akabva akaenda kune imwe nzvimbo.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Mangwanani acho, kwakava nebope guru pakati pavarwi vachida kuziva kuti chii chakanga chaitika kuna Petro.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
Mushure mokunge Herodhi amutsvakisisa kwazvo uye asina kumuwana, akanyatsobvunzisisa varindi ndokubva arayira kuti vaurayiwe. Ipapo Herodhi akabva kuJudhea akaenda kuKesaria akandogarako kwechinguva.
20 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country.
Akanga atsamwirana navanhu veTire neSidhoni, ndokubva vabatana pamwe chete vakauya kwaari kuti vataure naye. Vakati vawana rutsigiro rwaBhurasto, muranda akatendeka wamambo, vakakumbira runyararo, nokuti vaipona nenyika yamambo, nokuti ndiko kwavaiwana zvokudya.
21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration to them.
Pazuva rakanga ratarwa, Herodhi akapfeka nguo dzake dzoushe, akagara pachigaro chake choushe akataura kuvanhu.
22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Vakadanidzira vachiti, “Iri inzwi ramwari, kwete romunhu.”
23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten by worms, and died.
Pakarepo, nokuti Herodhi haana kurumbidza Mwari, mutumwa waShe akamurova, akadyiwa nehonye uye akafa.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Uye shoko raMwari rakaramba richikura uye richipararira.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Bhanabhasi naSauro vakati vapedza basa ravo, vakadzokera kuJerusarema, vakatorawo Johani, ainzi Mako.
