1 Bwakati obhu mfalme Herode akanyosya kibhoko kya muene kwa baadhi jha bhala bhabhihomela ku kusanyiko ili kubhatesya.
2 Akan'koma Yakobo ndongomunu Yohana kwa upanga.
3 Baada jha kubhona ikabhapendesya Bhayahudi akan'kamula ni Petro kabhele. Ejhe jhajhela wakati bhwa mikate jha jhibeli kulola.
4 Bho an'kamuili, akambeka mu ligereza ni kubheka fikosi fincheche fya askari ili kundonda Petro, akajha itarajila kumpeleka kwa bhanu baadajha pasaka.
5 Petro abhakibhu mu ligereza, lakini maombi gha bhombiki kwa bidii ni likusanyiku kwa ndabha jhe muene kwa K'yara.
6 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 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 Malaika akan'jobhela, “Fwatayi liguanda lya jhobhi na unitesiajhi.” Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni
9 Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni Malaika kama kya bhukweli. Afikirileghe ibhona maono.
10 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 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 baada jha kumanya agha, akahida mu nyumba jha manamu nyinamunu Yohana ambaye ndo Marko; bhakristu bhamehele bha bhonganiki bhis'oka.
13 Bhoabishili pa ndiangu ghwa kizuizi, n'tumishi mmonga n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Roda akahida kufungula.
14 Bhoatamuili sauti jha Petro, kwa furaha akasindwa kudendula ndiangu. Badala jhiake akajumba mugati mu kichumba: ni kubhajulisya ku jha Petro ajhemili pa ndiangu.
15 Hivyo bhakajobha kwa muene, “Bhebhe ndo mwendawazimu.” Lakini akazili kujha ndo kweli ndo muene. Bhakajobha “Ojho ndo Malaika ghwa muene.”
16 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 “Bhajulishayi mambo agha Yakobo ni bhalongo munu.” Kisha akabhoka akalota sehemu jhenge.
18 Pamusi, kwahjele ni huzuni mbaha kati jha askari, kuhusiana ni kyakitokili kwa Petro.
19 Baada jha Herode kundonda na ambwene lepi akabhakota bhalinzi ni kuamuru bhakonibhwayi. Akalota kuhoma Uyahudi mpaka Kaisaria ni kutama okhu.
20 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 Ligono lya kusudibhu Herode afwalili maguanda gha kifalme ni kutama pa kiti kya muene kya kifalme, ni kubhahutubila.
22 Bhanu bhakapiga maghuegho, “Ejhe ndo sauti jha K'yara wala sio sauti jha mwanadamu.”
23 Mara ghafla Malaika akan'tobha kwa ndabha ampelililepi K'yara utukufu; alelibhu ni chango na afuili.
24 Lakini lilobhi lya k'yara likakhola ni kusambala.
25 Baada jha Barnaba ni Sauli kukamilisya huduma jha bhene bhakabhoka pala bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu, bhakan'tola ni Yohana ambajhe lilina lya kuhogoleka ndo Marko
