< Ebikolwa by’Abatume 12 >
1 Awo mu biro ebyo Kabaka Kerode n’atandika okuyigganya abamu ku bakkiriza ab’omu Kkanisa.
In that tyme Herode the kynge stretched forthe his handes to vexe certayne of the congregacion.
2 N’atta Yakobo muganda wa Yokaana n’ekitala.
And he kylled Iames the brother of Iohn with the swerde:
3 Bwe yalaba nga ky’akoze kisanyusizza Abayudaaya, n’akwata Peetero mu kiseera eky’Embaga ey’Emigaati Egitazimbulukuswa
and because he sawe that it pleased ye Iewes he proceded forther and toke Peter also. Then were the dayes of swete breed.
4 n’amusiba mu kkomera, ng’amutaddeko abaserikale abamukuuma kkumi na mukaaga mu bibinja bina eby’abaserikale banabana. Kerode yali ategese amuleete mu bantu, ng’Embaga y’Okuyitako ewedde.
And when he had caught him he put him in preson and delyvered him to. iiii. quaternios of soudiers to be kepte entendynge after ester to brynge him forth to the people.
5 Peetero n’akuumirwa mu kkomera, naye Ekkanisa n’enyiikira nnyo okumusabira eri Katonda.
Then was Peter kepte in preson. But prayer was made with out ceasynge of the congregacion vnto God for him.
6 Ekiro ekyo, ng’enkeera Kerode ategese okuwaayo Peetero, Peetero yali yeebase wakati w’abaserikale babiri, ng’asibiddwa n’enjegere bbiri, nga ne ku mulyango gw’ekkomera kuliko abakuumi.
And when Herode wolde have brought him oute vnto the people the same nyght slepte Peter bitwene two soudiers bounde with two chaynes and the kepers before the dore kepte the preson.
7 Laba malayika wa Mukama n’ayimirira awali Peetero, ekitangaala ne kyaka mu kisenge, Malayika n’akuba ku Peetero mu mbiriizi n’amuzuukusa ng’amugamba nti, “Yanguwa. Ggolokoka.” Enjegere ne ziva ku mikono gye ne zigwa wansi.
And beholde the angell of ye Lorde was there present and a lyght shyned in the lodge. And smote Peter on the syde and steryd him vp sayinge: aryse vp quyckly. And his cheynes fell of fro his hondes.
8 Malayika n’amugamba nti, “Weesibe olukoba lwo, oyambale n’engatto zo.” Peetero n’akola nga bw’agambiddwa. Malayika n’amugamba nti, “Kale, yambala omunagiro gwo ongoberere.”
And the angell sayd vnto him: gyrde thy selfe and bynde on thy sandales. And so he dyd. And he sayde vnto him: cast thy mantle aboute the and folowe me.
9 Awo Peetero n’agoberera malayika. Naye ekiseera kino kyonna ng’alowooza nti alabye kwolesebwa, nga tayinza kukitegeera nti byonna ebyali bimutuukako mu kaseera ako byaliwo ddala.
And he came oute and folowed him and wist not that it was truthe which was done by the angell but thought he had sene a vision.
10 Ne bayita ku bakuumi abasooka n’abookubiri ne batuuka ku luggi olunene olw’ekyuma olufuluma mu kkomera nga luggukira mu kibuga. Luno ne lweggulawo lwokka, ne bayitamu. Bwe baatambulako akabanga mu luguudo mu kibuga, amangwago malayika n’amuleka.
When they were past ye fyrst and ye seconde watche they came vnto yt yron gate yt ledeth vnto the cyte which opened to them by his awne accorde. And they went out and passed thorowe one strete and by and by the angell departed fro him.
11 Awo Peetero bwe yeddamu n’alyoka ategeera bwe bibadde, n’agamba nti, “Ntegeeredde ddala nga Mukama yatumye malayika we n’anziggya mu mukono gwa Kerode, era n’amponya n’eby’akabi byonna Abayudaaya bye babadde bantegekedde.”
And when Peter was come to him selfe he sayde: now I knowe of a surety that the Lorde hath sent his angell and hath delyvered me out of the honde of Herode and from all the waytynge for of the people of ye Iewes.
12 Bwe yamala okukakasa ebyo munda ye, n’atambula n’alaga mu maka ga Maliyamu nnyina wa Yokaana Makko, abantu bangi gye baali bakuŋŋaanidde nga basaba.
And as he consydred the thinge he cam to ye housse of Mary the mother of one Iohn which was called Marke also where many were gaddered to gedder in prayer.
13 Awo Peetero n’akonkona ku luggi olunene olw’ebweru, omuwala omuweereza erinnya lye Looda n’ajja okuggulawo.
As Peter knocked at the entry dore a damsell cam forth to herken named Rhoda.
14 Naye bwe yategeera nga ddoboozi lya Peetero essanyu ne limuyitirira, n’adduka buddusi nga n’oluggi talugguddeewo, n’ategeeza abaali mu nju nti, “Peetero ali wabweru ku luggi!”
And when she knew Peters voyce she opened not the entrey for gladnes but ran in and told how Peter stode before the entrey.
15 Naye abaali mu nju ne bamuddamu nti, “Oguddemu akazoole.” Naye ne yeyongera okulumiriza nti ky’agamba bwe kiri. Ne bagamba nti, “Oyo malayika we.”
And they sayde vnto her: thou arte mad. And she bare them doune yt it was even so. Then sayde they: it is his angell.
16 Naye Peetero n’ayongera okukonkona. Oluvannyuma ne bagenda ne baggulawo oluggi, ne bamulaba. Ne basamaalirira nnyo.
Peter cotynued knockinge. When they had opened the dore and sawe him they were astonyed.
17 N’abakomako basirike, n’alyoka abategeeza byonna ebyamubaddeko, nga Mukama bwe yamusumuludde mu kkomera. N’abagamba nti, “Mutegeeze Yakobo n’abooluganda bino byonna ebibaddewo.” Awo n’afuluma n’alaga mu kifo ekirala.
And he beckened vnto them with ye honde to holde their peace and tolde them by what meanes ye Lorde had brought him oute of the preson. And sayde: goo shew these thinges vnto Iames and to the brethren. And he departed and went into a nother place.
18 Enkeera ekkomera ne lijjula akagugumuko ng’abaserikale beebuuza nti, “Peetero abulidde wa?”
Assone as it was daye ther was no lyttell a doo amoge the soudyers what was becum of Peter.
19 Awo Kerode bwe yamutumya ne basanga nga taliiyo, ne bamunoonya n’ababula. Abaserikale bwe baamala okuwozesebwa n’alagira babafulumye babatte. Oluvannyuma Kerode n’ava e Buyudaaya n’agenda abeera e Kayisaliya.
When Herode had called for him and founde him not he examined the kepers and comaunded to departe. And he descended from Iewry to Cesarea and ther abode.
20 Kerode yali anyiigidde abantu b’e Ttuulo n’e Sidoni. Awo ne bamuweereza ababaka baabwe okujja okumulaba, ne bakwana omuwandiisi we Bulasito, era n’abayamba okubatuusiza ensonga zaabwe ewa Kerode nga bamusaba emirembe, kubanga emmere eyali eriisa ebibuga byabwe byombi yali eva mu nsi ya kabaka.
Herode was displeased with them of Tyre and Sydon. And they came all at once and made intercession vnto Blastus the kynges chamberlen and desyred peace because their countrey was norysshed by the kynges londe.
21 Awo olunaku olwategekebwa bwe lwatuuka, Kerode n’ayambala eminagiro gye egy’obwakabaka n’atuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka, n’ayogera eri ababaka n’abantu bonna.
And upon a daye appoynted Herode arayed him in royall apparell and set him in his seate and made an oraycon vnto them.
22 Abantu bonna ne boogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Lino ddoboozi lya Katonda so si lya muntu!”
And the people gave a shoute sayinge: it is ye voyce of a God and not of a man.
23 Amangwago malayika wa Mukama n’amubonereza, n’ajjula envunyu yenna, ne zimulya n’afa, kubanga yakkiriza abantu ne bamusinza, n’atawa Katonda kitiibwa.
And immediatly the angell of ye Lorde smote him because he gave not God the honoure and he was eatyn of wormes and gave vp the goost.
24 Awo ekigambo kya Katonda ne kyeyongera okubuna wonna.
And ye worde of God grewe and multiplied.
25 Balunabba ne Sawulo bwe baamala okutuukiriza ekyabaleeta mu Yerusaalemi, ne baddayo ne Yokaana ayitibwa Makko.
And Barnabas and Paul returned to Ierusalem when they had fulfilled their office and toke with them Iohn which was also called Marcus.
