Imbombo incha Vasuhwa 12
1 Usikhei ugwa Untwa akhagolosya eikhi vokho khu vala avalundamine alikhunogwa ukhuvatesya.
Now, about that time, King Herod arrested certain members of the Church, in order to ill-treat them;
2 Akhabuda uYakovo ulukololwe nu Yohani nei mundu.
and James, John's brother, he beheaded.
3 Vualelele ukhuta yeva ganile Avayahudi, akhamwibata nu Peteli khavili. eiye yale usikhe gwa mikata eimin'chila khuve.
Finding that this gratified the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also; these being the days of Unleavened Bread.
4 Vuamubite akhadindila mulugadun'cho nukhuvikha ifipuga vine ifya vasikhali findolelage vu igulile ukhung'iukha khuvanu vuyisilile eiPasakha.
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 U Peteli akhavikhiwa mundugadun'cho inyeisayo n'chikhavombekha namakha nulundamano lwa vanu khunjila ya mwene nu Nguluve.
So Peter was kept in prison; but long and fervent prayer was offered to God by the Church on his behalf.
6 Akhasikhi uHelodi salutile khukhung'umya, Eikilo iyo uPeteli agonelile pagati pavasikhali vavile khunu apinyiwe nei miinyololo gevile navasikhali pavulongolo pa ndiango valikhulindilila ulugadun'cho.
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 Pu usuhwa va Nguluve akhahumila nulumuli lukha ng'ala mugati. Akhatova uPeteli paluvafu nukhusisimula akhata(akhachova), “Sisimukha khimbevi.”pu eiminyololo eifevakhakunjile gikhadumukha mumavokho ga mwene.
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 Usuhwa akhambula akhata, “Fuala emienda gwakho ni filato.” U Peteli akhagaha ewo. Usuhwa akhambula akhata, “Fuala umwenda gwakho ung'ongange.”
"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 Pu uPeteli akhakonga usuhwa akhahuma khunji. Salukhukela eikhivombikhe nusuhwandaa lweli. Akhata pamo igogwa njosi(magonafivi).
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 Vu agendile eikhilindokua khwanja nei kyavile vakhafikha paligeti la kyumaeilya khwingila khu jini ukhadendukha lyene khujili ya vene. Vakhahuma panji vakhikha mutava, Nusuhwa akhandekha.
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 U Peteli vueiwene, akhanchova akhata, “Lino neidikhe ukhuta Unguluve usuhile usuhwa va mwene ukhuta ang'enche mukevokho kya Helode, na masage gooni aga vayahudi.”
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 Vuagamanyile aga akhinche khu nyumba ya Mariamu umamaye va Yohani uviivii Markho; Vaeivunganin'che nukhweisaya(ukhudova).
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 Vu ahodin'che pa ndiango ugusigiwe, umbombi yumo ei litawa vei Roda akhincha khudendula.
When he knocked at the wicket in the door, a maidservant named Rhoda came to answer the knock;
14 Vualumanyile ukhuta eisavuti ei yeya Peteli, nuluhekhelo akhalemwa ukhudendula undiango; badala yake, akhanyila mugati mkheyumba; nukhuvavula ukhuta uPeteli eimile panji Pandiango.
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 Puvakhata khumwene, “Uve un'changanyikhiwe” akhandelela ukhuta vimwene lweli. Vakhata “Uyu visuhwa va mwene.”
"You are mad," they said. But she strenuously maintained that it was true. "It is his guardian angel," they said.
16 U Peteli akhendelela ukhudindin'cha vuvadinduule undiango vakhambona nukhuswiga. U Peteli akhava nunan'cha ni khivokho kheimyemye vakhavula na Unguluve vu ang'umin'che mundugadun'cho(akhata),
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 “Muvavuli eimbombo n'chei uYakobo navalukololwe.” Pu akhahega akhaluta khuvunge.
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 Vuvukhile khukhava nulususuvalo khuvasikhali ukhuhumana na khila eikhei humile khwa Peteli.
When morning came, there was no little commotion among the soldiers, as to what could possibly have become of Peter.
19 Vu uHelode andondile ambwene akhavavun'cha avasikhali akhalamula ukhuta vabudiwe. akhaluta khuvuyahudi akhafikha khu Kaisalia akhatuma ukhwa.
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 U Helodi ali neilioyo na vanu vakhu Tiro nakhu Sidoni, vakhaluta pupaninei khumwene vakhava muvumanyani nu Brasto untangili va ntwa, avatange, vakhadova nulunon'chehencho pakhuva ikhilunga kyavene kya pokhile eikyakhulya ukhuhuma khu ntwa.
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 Eisikhu eiyenogiwe uHelode akhafuala eimienda gwa vuntwa nukhutama pakhiigoda kya vutwa, nukhuvavula.
So, on an appointed day, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal robes, took his seat on the tribunal, and was haranguing them;
22 Avanu vakhaywega, “Eiyee savuti ya nguluve syoo savuti ya munu!”
and the assembled people kept shouting, "It is the voice of a god, and not of a man!"
23 Puu usuhwa va Nguluve akhantova pakhuva saa ampe uvudwadwa akhaliuva ni chango akhafywa
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 Pu eilimenyu lya Nguluve likhakula nukhwenela.
But God's Message prospered, and converts were multiplied.
25 Pu uBarnaba nu Savuli vuvamalesinche eimbombo vakhahuma pala vakhaluta khu Yelusalemu, vakhantova nu Yohani uvi eilitawa lya mwene ulyakhuholiwa vei Marko.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having discharged their mission, and they brought with them John, surnamed Mark.
