Acts 12
1 Now, about that time, King Herod arrested certain members of the Church, in order to ill-treat them;
Bwakati obhu mfalme Herode akanyosya kibhoko kya muene kwa baadhi jha bhala bhabhihomela ku kusanyiko ili kubhatesya.
2 and James, John's brother, he beheaded.
Akan'koma Yakobo ndongomunu Yohana kwa upanga.
3 Finding that this gratified the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also; these being the days of Unleavened Bread.
Baada jha kubhona ikabhapendesya Bhayahudi akan'kamula ni Petro kabhele. Ejhe jhajhela wakati bhwa mikate jha jhibeli kulola.
4 He had him arrested and lodged in jail, handing him over to the care of sixteen soldiers; and intended after the Passover to bring him out again to the people.
Bho an'kamuili, akambeka mu ligereza ni kubheka fikosi fincheche fya askari ili kundonda Petro, akajha itarajila kumpeleka kwa bhanu baadajha pasaka.
5 So Peter was kept in prison; but long and fervent prayer was offered to God by the Church on his behalf.
Petro abhakibhu mu ligereza, lakini maombi gha bhombiki kwa bidii ni likusanyiku kwa ndabha jhe muene kwa K'yara.
6 Now when Herod was on the point of taking him out of prison, that very night Peter was asleep between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards were on duty outside the door.
Ligono kabla Herode alotilepi kumpisya, kiru abhu Petro agonili katikati jha maaskari bhabhele akajha akanjibhu minyororo mibhele, ni bhalinzi mbele jha ndiangu bhakajha bhilenda gereza.
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell; and, striking Peter on the side, he woke him and said, "Rise quickly." Instantly the chains dropped off his wrists.
Langagi, malaika bha Bwana ghafla akantokela ni nuru jhikan'g'ara mugati. Akajotobha Petro Petro mu ubhafu ni kunjumuisya akajobha, “Jhumukayi manyata.” Ndipo minyororo gha aka akongibhu ghyabhopuiki mu mabhoko gha muene.
8 "Fasten your girdle," said the angel, "and tie on your sandals." He did so. Then the angel said, "Throw your cloak round you, and follow me."
Malaika akan'jobhela, “Fwatayi liguanda lya jhobhi na unitesiajhi.” Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni
9 So Peter went out, following him, yet could not believe that what the angel was doing was real, but supposed that he saw a vision.
Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni Malaika kama kya bhukweli. Afikirileghe ibhona maono.
10 And passing through the first ward and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. This opened to them of itself; and, going out, they passed on through one of the streets, and then suddenly the angel left him.
Baada jha kupeta lindo lya chuma lya kujhingilila kulota kumjini likafunguka lyene kwa ndabha jha bhene. Bhakapita kwibhala bhakaselela ku mtaa, mara Malaika akandeka.
11 Peter coming to himself said, "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and has rescued me from the power of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating."
Petro bho akimbuili, akajobha, “Henu ni amini kujha Bwana andaghisi Malaika ghwa muene ili kunibhosya mu mabhoko gha Herode, ni kwa matarajio gha bhanu bhoha bha uyahudi.”
12 So, after thinking things over, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark, where a large number of people were assembled, praying.
baada jha kumanya agha, akahida mu nyumba jha manamu nyinamunu Yohana ambaye ndo Marko; bhakristu bhamehele bha bhonganiki bhis'oka.
13 When he knocked at the wicket in the door, a maidservant named Rhoda came to answer the knock;
Bhoabishili pa ndiangu ghwa kizuizi, n'tumishi mmonga n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Roda akahida kufungula.
14 and recognizing Peter's voice, for very joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them that Peter was standing there.
Bhoatamuili sauti jha Petro, kwa furaha akasindwa kudendula ndiangu. Badala jhiake akajumba mugati mu kichumba: ni kubhajulisya ku jha Petro ajhemili pa ndiangu.
15 "You are mad," they said. But she strenuously maintained that it was true. "It is his guardian angel," they said.
Hivyo bhakajobha kwa muene, “Bhebhe ndo mwendawazimu.” Lakini akazili kujha ndo kweli ndo muene. Bhakajobha “Ojho ndo Malaika ghwa muene.”
16 Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, until at last they opened the door and saw that it was really he, and were filled with amazement.
Lakini Petro ajhendelili kubisha, na bho bhahinguili ndiangu, bhakambona na bhashangele sana. Petro akabhagudamisya kibhokho kimyakimya ni kubhajobhela jinsi Bwana kyaambosili mu ligereza. Akajobha,
17 But he motioned with his hand for silence, and then described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. "Tell all this to James and the brethren," he added. Then he left them, and went to another place.
“Bhajulishayi mambo agha Yakobo ni bhalongo munu.” Kisha akabhoka akalota sehemu jhenge.
18 When morning came, there was no little commotion among the soldiers, as to what could possibly have become of Peter.
Pamusi, kwahjele ni huzuni mbaha kati jha askari, kuhusiana ni kyakitokili kwa Petro.
19 And when Herod had had him searched for and could not find him, after sharply questioning the guards he ordered them away to execution. He then went down from Judaea to Caesarea and remained there.
Baada jha Herode kundonda na ambwene lepi akabhakota bhalinzi ni kuamuru bhakonibhwayi. Akalota kuhoma Uyahudi mpaka Kaisaria ni kutama okhu.
20 Now the people of Tyre and Sidon had incurred Herod's violent displeasure. So they sent a large deputation to wait on him; and having secured the good will of Blastus, his treasurer, they begged the king to be friendly with them again, because their country was dependent on his for its food supply.
Herode ajhele ni ligoga juu jha bhanu bha Tiro ni Sidoni. Bhakalota kwa pamonga kwa muene. Bhakejha ni urafiki ni Blasto msaidizi ghwa mfalme, ili abhasaidilayi. Kisha bhakasoka amani, kwa ndabha nchi jha mfalme.
21 So, on an appointed day, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal robes, took his seat on the tribunal, and was haranguing them;
Ligono lya kusudibhu Herode afwalili maguanda gha kifalme ni kutama pa kiti kya muene kya kifalme, ni kubhahutubila.
22 and the assembled people kept shouting, "It is the voice of a god, and not of a man!"
Bhanu bhakapiga maghuegho, “Ejhe ndo sauti jha K'yara wala sio sauti jha mwanadamu.”
23 Instantly an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the glory to God, and being eaten up by worms, he died.
Mara ghafla Malaika akan'tobha kwa ndabha ampelililepi K'yara utukufu; alelibhu ni chango na afuili.
24 But God's Message prospered, and converts were multiplied.
Lakini lilobhi lya k'yara likakhola ni kusambala.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having discharged their mission, and they brought with them John, surnamed Mark.
Baada jha Barnaba ni Sauli kukamilisya huduma jha bhene bhakabhoka pala bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu, bhakan'tola ni Yohana ambajhe lilina lya kuhogoleka ndo Marko
