Matendo ga Mitume 12
1 Wakati huo mpwalume Herode kanyosha luboko lwake kwa baadhi ya balo baboka mu'likusanyiko ili kubatesa.
Now about that time, Herod the king laid hands on some from the church to mistreat them.
2 Kamulaga Yakobo nongo wake Yohana kwa upanga.
James, the brother of John, he put to death by sword.
3 Baada ya kubona kuwa yawapendeza Ayahudi, kamkamwa na Petro kae. Ayee ibile muda wa mikate ibile kwaa na chachu.
When he saw that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter as well (it was during the days of the unleavened loaves)
4 Paamkamwile, kambeka muligereza na kubeka vikosi ncheche vya askari ili kumlinda, abile akitarajia kumpeleka kwa bandu baada ya Pasaka.
—upon seizing him he put him in prison, turning him over to sixteen soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5 Petro abekwa mu'ligereza, lakini maombi kapangwa kwa bidii na kusanyiko kwa ajili yake kwa Nnongo.
Well Peter was being held in the prison all right, but the congregation was making earnest prayer to God on his behalf.
6 Lisoba kabla Herode kuyenda kumtoa, Kilo yee Petro abile agonjike katikati ya maaskari abele, abile atabilwe na nyororo yanaibele, na balinzi nnongi ya nnango babile bakililinda ligereza.
So when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with guards protecting the prison in front of the doors.
7 Linga, malaika wa Ngwana gafla atimtokya na bweya uting'ara mu'ligereza. Kankombwa Petro mu ubau na kumwamsha kabaya, “Amka haraka,” Nga nyororo yabile atabilwe nayo itomboka boka mu'maboko gake.
Suddenly, an angel of the Lord was there, and a light shone in the cell; striking Peter on the side he roused him saying, “Quick, get up!” and the chains fell away from his wrists.
8 Malaika kambakiya, “Uwale ngobo zako na uwale ilatu yako.” Petro kapanga nyoo. Malaika kambakiya, “Uwale ngobo yako ni unikengame.”
Then the angel said to him, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” So he did. Then he said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”
9 Petro kankengama Malaika na katoka panja. Aaminiya kwaaa chakipangilwe na malaika mana ni cha kweli. Atangite panga abona maono.
So he went out and started following him, not realizing that what the angel was doing was real; he supposed he was seeing a vision.
10 Baada ya pitya mu'lindo lya kwanza na lya ibele, baikite pa'nnango nkolo wa chuma wa jingya mjini, lyatifunguka lyene kwa ajili yabe. Babokite panja na kuuluka mu'mitaa, mara Malaika annekite.
Passing through the first and second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, that opened for them by itself; upon exiting they advanced one block, and suddenly the angel left him.
11 Petro paajitangite, kabaya, “Nambeambe naaminiya kuwa Ngwana amtumile Malaika bake ili kuntoa katika maboko ga Herode, na kwa matarajio ga bandu bote na Uyahudi,”
When Peter had come to himself he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord sent His angel and delivered me out of Herod's hand and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.”
12 Baada ya kugatanga aga, kaisa mu'nyumba ya Mariamu mao bake Yohana ambaye ni Marko, Bakristo banyansima batikwembana nakunloba Nnongo.
Upon reflection he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John (the one called Mark), where a considerable number had gathered and were praying.
13 Paatibisha pa'nnango wa kizuizi, mtumishi yumo nwawa ywakemelwa Roda atiisa na kufungua.
When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 Paatangite kuwa ni lilobe lya Petro, kwa puraha kashindwa kufungua nnango; badala yake atibutuka mu'chumba; kubajulisha kuwa Petro ayemi nnongi ya Nnango.
Upon recognizing Peter's voice, she was so glad she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing before the gate!
15 Nga nyo, kababaya kwake, “Wenga wa mwendawazimu” lakini atikazia kuwa kweli ni ywembe. Babaya “Ayoo ni malaika bake.”
But they said to her, “You're crazy!” but she kept insisting that it was so. So they said, “It is his angel.”
16 Lakini Petro kayendelea kombwa odi, kabamfungua nnango, bamweni na kushangala muno. Petro kaanyamazisha kwa maboko kimya kimya na kuwabakiya namna Ngwana atimtoa boka mu'ligereza. kabaya,
But Peter kept on knocking; so when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
17 “Mubajulishe makowe aga Yakobo na alongo bake.”Boka po atiboka no yenda sehemu yenge.
Motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. Then he said, “Tell these things to James and the brothers.” And going out he went off to a different place.
18 Paiikite mutwekati, pabile na huzuni ngolo kati ya askari, husiana na chakipangite kwa Petro.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers about what had become of Peter!
19 baada ya Herode kumpala na amweni kwaa kaanaluya balinzi na atiamuru baabulage. Kayenda na kuboka Uyahudi mpaka Kaisaria na tama kolyo.
Well after searching for him and not finding him, Herod examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Going down from Judea to Caesarea, he stayed there.
20 Herode abile na hasira nnani ya bandu ba Tiro na Sidoni. Bayenda pamope kwake. Babile na urafiki na Blasto msaidizi ba Mpwalume, ili abasaidie. Boka po batiloba amani, kwa mana nchi yabe ipokile chakulya boka mu'nchi ya mpwalume.
Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; so they came with one accord to him, and having won over Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king's.
21 Lisoba lyalikusudiwa Herode abile kawala ngobo ya kipwalume na tama mu'iteo chake cha kipwalume, na kabahutubia.
So on an appointed day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on the throne and started to deliver an address to them.
22 Bandu bakombwa ndoti, “Ayee nga lilobe lya nnongo wala lya mundu kwaa!”
But the crowd started calling out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”
23 Mara ghafla Malaika ankombwile, kwa mana ampeya kwaa Nnongo utukufu; kaminya ndumbo na awile.
Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give glory to God, and being eaten by worms, he died.
24 Lakini neno lya Nnongo likakua na lyatisambaa.
And the Word of God kept growing and multiplying.
25 Baada ya Barnaba na Sauli kamilisha huduma yabe babokite kolyo na kerebukya Yerusalemu, kabantola na Yohana ambaye lina lyake lyaubeleki ni Marko.
Now Barnabas and Saul returned to Antioch, having fulfilled their mission, also taking with them John, the one called Mark.
