Imbombo zya Atume 12
1 Umfumu u Herode ahandile abhatese aKristo.
And at that time Herod the king, who was surnamed Agrippa, laid hands on some of the church, to maltreat them.
2 Ahabudile uYakobo uholo wa Yohana ni panga.
And he killed 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 this pleased the Jews, he proceeded also to arrest Simon Cephas. And the days of unleavened bread were then passing.
4 Nawakhata uPetro wafunga mulumanti amapunga gane aje bhadime aje nayashila Epasaka atwale hwa bhantu.
He seized him and cast him into prison, and delivered him to sixteen soldiers, who were to guard him; that he might, after the passover, deliver him up to the people of the Jews.
5 Akristo bhamwaba nabhamvwa huje uPetro akhetwe na fungwe bhabhungana bhetehana bhonti apuute na hupuutile tee hwa Ngulubhi.
And while Simon was in custody in the prison, continual prayer to God in his behalf, was offered to God by the church.
6 Isiku sasile uHerode humeje uPetro mwijela nu siku ahenzele umalaika humwefwe u Petro mwijela, alinzi bhazyungulile uPetro na mundyango bhaali abhasikali.
And on the night before the morning in which he was to be delivered up, while Simon was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains, and others were guarding the doors of the prison;
7 Umalaika winza wakhozya mwijela umalaika wadamuzya u Petro waga bhuuha nanali amanyololo gabhapinyiye gagwagepa mumakhono na mumanama.
an angel of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in all the building; and he pricked his side, and awaked him, and said to him: Arise, instantly. And the chains fell from his hands.
8 Umalaika waga kwata evilato vyaho wa menda gaho saali ndondozyanje ane.”
And the angel said to him: Gird thy loins, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And again he said to him: Wrap thyself in thy cloak, and come after me.
9 U Petro walondozya uMalaika bhafuma hwunzi. U Petro sigaaloline aje ezyo zili lyoli agagajibha alota njozi.
And he went out and followed him, not knowing that what had been done by the angel was a reality; for he supposed, that he saw 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 the first ward was passed and the second, they came to the iron gate, and it opened to them of its own accord. And when they had gone out, and had passed one street, the angel departed from him.
11 U Petro nawamanya huje zililyolo siganjozi waga Ungulubhi atumile Umalaika wakwe huje anefwe mwijela nensubhizyo zya ayahudi.”
Then Simon recognized where he was; and he said: Now I know, in reality, that God hath sent his angel, and delivered me from the hand of Herod the king, and from what the Jews were devising against me.
12 U Petro wafiha munyumba ya Mariamu unyina wa Yohana yahwitwa Marko; mwabhabhangine Akristo nabhapuutaga.
And when he had considered, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark; because many brethren were assembled there and praying.
13 Nawakhoma ehodi mundyango wabhala humwigulile ulendu umo itawa yu Roda.
And he knocked at the gate of the court; and a maid named Rhoda came to reply to him.
14 Nawamanya huje yu Petro, sigawigula undyango; washimbila wabhala abhabhuule munyumba huje yu Petro yakhoma ehodi.
And she recognized the voice of Simon: and, In her joy, she did not open to him the gate, but ran back, and told them: Lo, Simon is standing at the gate of the court.
15 Abhamunyumba bhabisya bhagasiga yuyo umwene wakhasya huje yuyo bhaga yu malaika wakwe.”
They said to her: Thou art delirious. But she maintained that it was a fact. They said to her: Perhaps it is his ghost.
16 U Petro wabhasagonga undyango pamandi bhamwigulila na bhalola bhaswiga tee. U Petro wabhapumizyia wabhalatila zyonti umalaika zyabhombile shafumizye mwijela,
And Simon was knocking at the gate; and they went out, saw him, and were astonished.
17 “Wababhuula huje mubhuule u Yakobo na holo abhamwabho, wasogola wabhala uhwamwabho.
And he beckoned to them with the hand to be still; and he went in, and related to them how the Lord had released him from the prison. And he said to them: Tell these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed to another place.
18 Nawasha askali bhala bhazugumiye tee hunongwa ya Petro huje afumile wele.
And when it was morning, there was a great dispute among the soldiers concerning Simon, what had become of him.
19 U Herode nawabhala humweje siga amwajile wabhabhuuzya alinzi, u Herode wamula abhabude alinzi bhaala, wasogola wabha hu Kaisaria akhale.
And Herod, when he sought him, and could not find him, arraigned the keepers, and sentenced them to die. And he went from Judaea, and resided at Caesarea.
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.
And because he was angry against the Tyrians and Sidonians, they assembled and came to him in a body; and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they begged of him that they might have peace; because the supplies of their country were derived from the kingdom of Herod.
21 Isiku limo umfumu u Herode ali nu mbungano nawakhala pitengo lyakwe elyeufumu, wayanga na bhantu.
And on a day appointed, Herod was arrayed in royal apparel, and sat on a tribunal, and made a speech to the assembly.
22 Abhantu bhabwaga bhaga eli lizu lya Ngulubhi sigalizu lya muntu!”
And all the people shouted, and said: These are the utterances of a God, and not of a mortal.
23 Umalaika wakhoma amachango galya muvyanda wafwa
And, because he gave not the glory to God, immediately the angel of God smote him; and he was eaten of worms, and died.
24 Lelo izu lya Ngulubhi lyanyampana hwa bhanti bhabhinji.
And the gospel of God was proclaimed, and made progress.
25 A Barnaba nu Paulo nabhala bhabhala hu Yerusalemu bhamwega nu Yohana yahwitwa Marko elyo lyapipwe nalyo.
And Barnabas and Saul, after they had completed their ministration, returned from Jerusalem to Antioch. And they took with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
