Imbombo zya Atume 12
1 Umfumu u Herode ahandile abhatese aKristo.
Now, at about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands to ill- treat certain members of the church;
2 Ahabudile uYakobo uholo wa Yohana ni panga.
and beheaded James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 Nawalola huje Ayahudi bhasungwa wakhata nu Petro. Esho shali shipindi she mabumunda gasiga bhaponyizye ehamila.
And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. (This was during the days of unleavened bread.)
4 Nawakhata uPetro wafunga mulumanti amapunga gane aje bhadime aje nayashila Epasaka atwale hwa bhantu.
He had him arrested and thrown in prison, and put under guard of sixteen soldiers. He intended, after the Passover, to bring him forth to the people.
5 Akristo bhamwaba nabhamvwa huje uPetro akhetwe na fungwe bhabhungana bhetehana bhonti apuute na hupuutile tee hwa Ngulubhi.
So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer to God was made by the church for him.
6 Isiku sasile uHerode humeje uPetro mwijela nu siku ahenzele umalaika humwefwe u Petro mwijela, alinzi bhazyungulile uPetro na mundyango bhaali abhasikali.
Now when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that very night, while Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison,
7 Umalaika winza wakhozya mwijela umalaika wadamuzya u Petro waga bhuuha nanali amanyololo gabhapinyiye gagwagepa mumakhono na mumanama.
suddenly an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side, he woke him saying, "Rise up quickly." At once the chains dropped from his hands.
8 Umalaika waga kwata evilato vyaho wa menda gaho saali ndondozyanje ane.”
"Gird yourself," said the angel, "and put on your sandals." He did so. Then he said unto him, "Throw your cloak about you, and follow me."
9 U Petro walondozya uMalaika bhafuma hwunzi. U Petro sigaaloline aje ezyo zili lyoli agagajibha alota njozi.
So Peter went out, following him, but did not realize that what the angel was doing was real, but supposed that he was seeing a vision.
10 Bhashila undyango ugwa hwande bhashila nugwabhili bhafuma hundyango ugosi ugwabhalile humujini, ugwo gwali gwimajela gwahigushe gwene bhasogola bhafiha apatali, uMalaika waleha uPetro waga eshi bhalaga.
And when they had passed the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate that led to the city. This opened to them of its own accord; and they went out passed on through one street; and suddenly the angel left him.
11 U Petro nawamanya huje zililyolo siganjozi waga Ungulubhi atumile Umalaika wakwe huje anefwe mwijela nensubhizyo zya ayahudi.”
Peter, coming to himself, said, "Now I know for a certainty that the Lord has sent his angel and released me from the hand of Herod, and from all that the Jewish people were anticipating."
12 U Petro wafiha munyumba ya Mariamu unyina wa Yohana yahwitwa Marko; mwabhabhangine Akristo nabhapuutaga.
So, after he had thought 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 Nawakhoma ehodi mundyango wabhala humwigulile ulendu umo itawa yu Roda.
When he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid servant named Rhoda came to answer.
14 Nawamanya huje yu Petro, sigawigula undyango; washimbila wabhala abhabhuule munyumba huje yu Petro yakhoma ehodi.
And when she recognized Peter’s voice, for very joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15 Abhamunyumba bhabisya bhagasiga yuyo umwene wakhasya huje yuyo bhaga yu malaika wakwe.”
"You are mad," they said. But she confidently insisted that it was so. "It is his angel," they said.
16 U Petro wabhasagonga undyango pamandi bhamwigulila na bhalola bhaswiga tee. U Petro wabhapumizyia wabhalatila zyonti umalaika zyabhombile shafumizye mwijela,
Meanwhile Peter continued to knock, until at last they opened the door, and were amazed to see that it was really he.
17 “Wababhuula huje mubhuule u Yakobo na holo abhamwabho, wasogola wabhala uhwamwabho.
He motioned to them to keep quiet, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell all this to James," he said, "and to the brothers," and away he went to another place.
18 Nawasha askali bhala bhazugumiye tee hunongwa ya Petro huje afumile wele.
When morning came there was no small stir among the soldiers as to what could possibly have become of Peter.
19 U Herode nawabhala humweje siga amwajile wabhabhuuzya alinzi, u Herode wamula abhabude alinzi bhaala, wasogola wabha hu Kaisaria akhale.
Then Herod had search made for him, and could not find him. After sharply questioning the guards, he ordered them off to execution. He then went down from Judea to Caesarea, where he stayed for some time.
20 U Herode ali ne lyoyo na bhantu abhahu Tiro na hu Sidoni. Bhabhala bhonti palishimo. Bhakundana nu saidizi wa mfumu, bhalabha ulwetehano, ensi yabho ehapataga eshalya afume hunsi ya mfumu.
Now Herod was violently displeased with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they came to him, with one accord, and after conciliating Blastus, the royal chamberlain, they begged for peace because their country depended upon the king’s country for its food supply.
21 Isiku limo umfumu u Herode ali nu mbungano nawakhala pitengo lyakwe elyeufumu, wayanga na bhantu.
So on the appointed day, Herod put on his royal robes, and after taking his seat upon the throne, began to harangue them.
22 Abhantu bhabwaga bhaga eli lizu lya Ngulubhi sigalizu lya muntu!”
"The voice of a god, and not of a man," the people kept shouting.
23 Umalaika wakhoma amachango galya muvyanda wafwa
Instantly an angel of the Lord smote him, because he had not given God the glory, and being eaten up by worms, he died.
24 Lelo izu lya Ngulubhi lyanyampana hwa bhanti bhabhinji.
But the word of God grew and multiplied;
25 A Barnaba nu Paulo nabhala bhabhala hu Yerusalemu bhamwega nu Yohana yahwitwa Marko elyo lyapipwe nalyo.
and after discharging their mission, Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, bringing with them John, surnamed Mark.
