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, King Herod arrested certain members of the Church, in order to ill-treat them;
2 Namwita Yakobo omumula wabho Yohana kwa lipanga.
and James, John's brother, he beheaded.
3 Ejile alola ati jabhakondela Abhayaudi, namugwata Petro lindi. Gunu gwaliga guli mwanya gwa jinsiku je emikate jinu jitalimo chifwimbhya.
Finding that this gratified the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also; these being 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.
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.
5 Petro natulwa mwibhoyelo, nawe lisabhwa nilikolwa kwa mananga ne likofyanyisho lyona ingulu yae ku Nyamuanga.
So Peter was kept in prison; but long and fervent prayer was offered to God by the Church on his behalf.
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.
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.
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.
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.
8 Malaika namubhwila,”nufwale jingubho ne bhikwilya bhyao.” Petro nakola kutyo. Malaika namubhwila,”fwala ebhifwalo bhyao na undubhe.”
"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."
9 Kulwejo Petro namulubha malaika Mbe nauluka anja. Atekilisishe chinu chakolelwe na malaika kuti ni ja chimali. Aliga netogela ati kalola bhilolo.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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."
12 Wejile Amala okumenya ganu, naja ku nyumba ya Mariamu nyilamwene Yohana unu elindi ni Marko; Abhakristo bhafu bhekofyanyishe nibhasabhwa.
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.
13 Ejile akonona ku lwigi lunu olwigala lilango, omukosi umwi we chiyalakaji unukatogwa Roda naja okwigula
When he knocked at the wicket in the door, a maidservant named Rhoda came to answer the knock;
14 . Ejile abhumenya obhulaka bhwa Petro kwo bhukondeleywe natamibhwa okugwigula omulyango; amwi nebhyo, nabhilimila munju no kubhamenyesha ati Petro emeleguyu anja imbhele yo mulyango.
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.
15 Kwibhyo, nibhamubhwila ati “wasala” nawe mwenene nagendelela-la okubhabhwila no kukomelesha ati ni chimali nio omwene. Nibhaika ati “oyo ni malaika wae.”
"You are mad," they said. But she strenuously maintained that it was true. "It is his guardian angel," they said.
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,”
Meanwhile Peter went on knocking, until at last they opened the door and saw that it was really he, and were filled with amazement.
17 nubhamenyeshe amasango ganu Yakobo na bhaili bhae.” Okumala nasokao nagenda mwibhala lindi.
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.
18 Mbe yejile yakinga mumwisi, nibhubhao obhusulumbhae bhwafu mu bhasilikale, okulubhana na chinu chabhonekene ku Petro.
When morning came, there was no little commotion among the soldiers, as to what could possibly have become of Peter.
19 Ejile Herode namuyenja nawe nalema omubhona nabhabhusha abhalindi no kulagilila bhetwe. Nasokao bhuyaudi nagenda Kaisaria no kwikala eyo.
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.
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 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.
21 olusiku lunu Herode aliga alulamulie nafwala ebhifwalo bhye chikama no kwinyanja ku chitebhe chae eche chikama, no kubhasimulila.
So, on an appointed day, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal robes, took his seat on the tribunal, and was haranguing them;
22 Abhanu nibhayogana,” bhunu ni bhulaka bhwa Nyamuanga nolwo bhutali bhulaka bhwo mwana munu!”
and the assembled people kept shouting, "It is the voice of a god, and not of a man!"
23 Ao nao malaika namubhuma, kulwo kubha atamuyae Nyamuanga likusho; nalibhwa na liuka nafwa.
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.
24 Mbe nawe omusango gwa Nyamuanga nigukula no kwiyongesha muno.
But God's Message prospered, and converts were multiplied.
25 Barnaba na Sauli Bhejile bhamala obhufulubhendi bhwebhwe nibhasokao ao nibhasubha Yerusalemu, nibhamugega na Yohana unu lisina lyae elyo inogwa (bhwibhulwa) ni Marko.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having discharged their mission, and they brought with them John, surnamed Mark.
