Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 12
1 Mu mwanya ogwo omukama Herode nagolola okubhoko kwae ku bhanu abhandi bhalya abhasoka mu likofyanyisho koleleki abhanyashe.
Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church so that he might mistreat them.
2 Namwita Yakobo omumula wabho Yohana kwa lipanga.
He killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 Ejile alola ati jabhakondela Abhayaudi, namugwata Petro lindi. Gunu gwaliga guli mwanya gwa jinsiku je emikate jinu jitalimo chifwimbhya.
After he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. That was during the days of unleavened bread.
4 Ejile amugwata, namuta mwibhoyelo natao kuti bhise bhina bya bhasilikale koleleki bhamulinde, aliga nenda okumusila ku bhanu ikamala okulabhao ipasaka.
After arresting him, he put him in prison, assigning him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him; he was intending to bring him to the people after the Passover.
5 Petro natulwa mwibhoyelo, nawe lisabhwa nilikolwa kwa mananga ne likofyanyisho lyona ingulu yae ku Nyamuanga.
So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer was made earnestly to God for him by those in the church.
6 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.
On the night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison.
7 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.
Behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared by him, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him and said, “Get up quickly,” and his chains fell off his hands.
8 Malaika namubhwila,”nufwale jingubho ne bhikwilya bhyao.” Petro nakola kutyo. Malaika namubhwila,”fwala ebhifwalo bhyao na undubhe.”
The angel said to him, “Dress yourself and put on your sandals.” Peter did so. The angel said to him, “Put on your outer garment and follow me.”
9 Kulwejo Petro namulubha malaika Mbe nauluka anja. Atekilisishe chinu chakolelwe na malaika kuti ni ja chimali. Aliga netogela ati kalola bhilolo.
So Peter followed the angel and went out. He did not know that what was done by the angel was real. He thought he was seeing a vision.
10 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.
After they had passed by the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that led into the city; it opened for them by itself. They went out and went down a street, and the angel left him right away.
11 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.
When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”
12 Wejile Amala okumenya ganu, naja ku nyumba ya Mariamu nyilamwene Yohana unu elindi ni Marko; Abhakristo bhafu bhekofyanyishe nibhasabhwa.
When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.
13 Ejile akonona ku lwigi lunu olwigala lilango, omukosi umwi we chiyalakaji unukatogwa Roda naja okwigula
When he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 . Ejile abhumenya obhulaka bhwa Petro kwo bhukondeleywe natamibhwa okugwigula omulyango; amwi nebhyo, nabhilimila munju no kubhamenyesha ati Petro emeleguyu anja imbhele yo mulyango.
When she recognized Peter's voice, out of joy she failed to open the door; instead, she came running into the room; she reported that Peter was standing at the door.
15 Kwibhyo, nibhamubhwila ati “wasala” nawe mwenene nagendelela-la okubhabhwila no kukomelesha ati ni chimali nio omwene. Nibhaika ati “oyo ni malaika wae.”
So they said to her, “You are insane.” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
16 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,”
But Peter continued knocking, and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed.
17 nubhamenyeshe amasango ganu Yakobo na bhaili bhae.” Okumala nasokao nagenda mwibhala lindi.
Peter motioned to them with his hand to be silent, and he told them how the Lord had brought him out of prison. He said, “Report these things to James and the brothers.” Then he left and went to another place.
18 Mbe yejile yakinga mumwisi, nibhubhao obhusulumbhae bhwafu mu bhasilikale, okulubhana na chinu chabhonekene ku Petro.
Now when it became day, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers over what had happened to Peter.
19 Ejile Herode namuyenja nawe nalema omubhona nabhabhusha abhalindi no kulagilila bhetwe. Nasokao bhuyaudi nagenda Kaisaria no kwikala eyo.
After Herod had searched for him and could not find him, he questioned the guards and ordered them to be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.
20 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.
Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They went to him together. They persuaded Blastus, the king's assistant, to help them. Then they asked for peace, because their country received its food from the king's country.
21 olusiku lunu Herode aliga alulamulie nafwala ebhifwalo bhye chikama no kwinyanja ku chitebhe chae eche chikama, no kubhasimulila.
On a set day Herod dressed himself in royal clothing and sat on a throne; he made a speech to them.
22 Abhanu nibhayogana,” bhunu ni bhulaka bhwa Nyamuanga nolwo bhutali bhulaka bhwo mwana munu!”
The people shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man!”
23 Ao nao malaika namubhuma, kulwo kubha atamuyae Nyamuanga likusho; nalibhwa na liuka nafwa.
Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory; he was eaten by worms and died.
24 Mbe nawe omusango gwa Nyamuanga nigukula no kwiyongesha muno.
But the word of God increased and multiplied.
25 Barnaba na Sauli Bhejile bhamala obhufulubhendi bhwebhwe nibhasokao ao nibhasubha Yerusalemu, nibhamugega na Yohana unu lisina lyae elyo inogwa (bhwibhulwa) ni Marko.
So when Barnabas and Saul had completed their mission, they returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
