Acts 12
1 And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly,
Bwakati obhu mfalme Herode akanyosya kibhoko kya muene kwa baadhi jha bhala bhabhihomela ku kusanyiko ili kubhatesya.
2 and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword,
Akan'koma Yakobo ndongomunu Yohana kwa upanga.
3 and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also — and they were the days of the unleavened food —
Baada jha kubhona ikabhapendesya Bhayahudi akan'kamula ni Petro kabhele. Ejhe jhajhela wakati bhwa mikate jha jhibeli kulola.
4 whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth 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 Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for him,
Petro abhakibhu mu ligereza, lakini maombi gha bhombiki kwa bidii ni likusanyiku kwa ndabha jhe muene kwa K'yara.
6 and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the prison,
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 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, 'Rise in haste,' and his chains fell from off [his] hands.
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 The messenger also said to him, 'Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;' and he did so; and he saith to him, 'Put thy garment round and be following me;'
Malaika akan'jobhela, “Fwatayi liguanda lya jhobhi na unitesiajhi.” Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni
9 and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking 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 having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from 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 And Peter having come to himself, said, 'Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews;'
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 also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.
baada jha kumanya agha, akahida mu nyumba jha manamu nyinamunu Yohana ambaye ndo Marko; bhakristu bhamehele bha bhonganiki bhis'oka.
13 And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda,
Bhoabishili pa ndiangu ghwa kizuizi, n'tumishi mmonga n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Roda akahida kufungula.
14 and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,
Bhoatamuili sauti jha Petro, kwa furaha akasindwa kudendula ndiangu. Badala jhiake akajumba mugati mu kichumba: ni kubhajulisya ku jha Petro ajhemili pa ndiangu.
15 and they said unto her, 'Thou art mad;' and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, 'It is his messenger;'
Hivyo bhakajobha kwa muene, “Bhebhe ndo mwendawazimu.” Lakini akazili kujha ndo kweli ndo muene. Bhakajobha “Ojho ndo Malaika ghwa muene.”
16 and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,
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 and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, 'Declare to James and to the brethren these things;' and having gone forth, he went on to another place.
“Bhajulishayi mambo agha Yakobo ni bhalongo munu.” Kisha akabhoka akalota sehemu jhenge.
18 And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,
Pamusi, kwahjele ni huzuni mbaha kati jha askari, kuhusiana ni kyakitokili kwa Petro.
19 and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding [there].
Baada jha Herode kundonda na ambwene lepi akabhakota bhalinzi ni kuamuru bhakonibhwayi. Akalota kuhoma Uyahudi mpaka Kaisaria ni kutama okhu.
20 And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king's;
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 and on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making an oration unto them,
Ligono lya kusudibhu Herode afwalili maguanda gha kifalme ni kutama pa kiti kya muene kya kifalme, ni kubhahutubila.
22 and the populace were shouting, '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 and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.
Mara ghafla Malaika akan'tobha kwa ndabha ampelililepi K'yara utukufu; alelibhu ni chango na afuili.
24 And the word of God did grow and did multiply,
Lakini lilobhi lya k'yara likakhola ni kusambala.
25 and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with [them] John, who was 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
