< Mabasa 12 >
1 Nenguva iyoyo Herodhe mambo wakaisa maoko kuti atambudze vamwe kubva mukereke.
Bwakati obhu mfalme Herode akanyosya kibhoko kya muene kwa baadhi jha bhala bhabhihomela ku kusanyiko ili kubhatesya.
2 Ndokuuraya Jakobho mukoma waJohwani nemunondo.
Akan'koma Yakobo ndongomunu Yohana kwa upanga.
3 Zvino wakati achiona kuti zvinofadza VaJudha, wakapfuurira mberi akabata Petrowo; zvino aiva mazuva ezvingwa zvisina mbiriso;
Baada jha kubhona ikabhapendesya Bhayahudi akan'kamula ni Petro kabhele. Ejhe jhajhela wakati bhwa mikate jha jhibeli kulola.
4 akati amubatawo akaisa mutirongo, akamukumikidza kumapoka mana evanhu vana emauto kuti vamurinde, achida kumuisa kuvanhu mushure mepasika.
Bho an'kamuili, akambeka mu ligereza ni kubheka fikosi fincheche fya askari ili kundonda Petro, akajha itarajila kumpeleka kwa bhanu baadajha pasaka.
5 Naizvozvo Petro wakachengetwa mutirongo; asi munyengetero wakaenderera mberi uchiitwa nekereke kuna Mwari uchiitirwa iye.
Petro abhakibhu mu ligereza, lakini maombi gha bhombiki kwa bidii ni likusanyiku kwa ndabha jhe muene kwa K'yara.
6 Zvino Herodhe wakati oda kumubudisa, usiku ihwohwo Petro wakange arere pakati pemauto maviri, akasungwa nemaketani maviri; nevarindi pamberi pemusuwo vakarinda tirongo.
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 Zvino tarira, mutumwa waIshe wakamirapo, chiedza ndokupenya muchitokisi; zvino akarova rutivi rwaPetro, akamumutsa achiti: Simuka nekukurumidza. Zvino maketani ake akawa pamaoko ake.
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 Mutumwa ndokuti kwaari: Zvisunge chiuno, uye sunga manyatera ako. Ndokuita saizvozvo. Zvino akati kwaari: Monera nguvo yako, unditevere.
Malaika akan'jobhela, “Fwatayi liguanda lya jhobhi na unitesiajhi.” Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni
9 Zvino wakabuda akamutevera; uye asingazivi kuti ichokwadi chinoitwa nemutumwa, asi waifunga kuti anoona chiratidzo.
Hivyo Petro akankesya Malaika ni kuhoma kwibhala. Aaminilepi kya kya bhombiki ni Malaika kama kya bhukweli. Afikirileghe ibhona maono.
10 Zvino vakati vapfuura chirindo chekutanga nechepiri, vakasvika pasuwo reutare raipinda muguta; iro rakavazarukira rega; zvino vakabuda, vakapfuura nzira imwe yemumusha, pakarepo mutumwa ndokubva kwaari.
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 Zvino Petro, wakati apengenuka, akati: Zvino ndinoziva zvirokwazvo kuti Ishe watuma mutumwa wake, uye wandisunungura paruoko rwaHerodhe netarisiro yese yevanhu veVaJudha.
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 Zvino wakati arangarira akaenda kumba kwaMaria mai vaJohwani wainzi Mariko, vazhinji pavakange vakaungana vachinyengetera.
baada jha kumanya agha, akahida mu nyumba jha manamu nyinamunu Yohana ambaye ndo Marko; bhakristu bhamehele bha bhonganiki bhis'oka.
13 Zvino Petro wakati agogodza pagonhi resuwo, murandakadzi wakauya kuzoteerera, wainzi Rodha.
Bhoabishili pa ndiangu ghwa kizuizi, n'tumishi mmonga n'dala jhaakutibhweghe Roda akahida kufungula.
14 Zvino wakati achiziva inzwi raPetro, haana kuzarura suwo nekuda kwemufaro, asi wakamhanyira mukati akavaudza kuti Petro amire pamberi pesuwo.
Bhoatamuili sauti jha Petro, kwa furaha akasindwa kudendula ndiangu. Badala jhiake akajumba mugati mu kichumba: ni kubhajulisya ku jha Petro ajhemili pa ndiangu.
15 Asi vakati kwaari: Unopenga. Asi wakaramba achisimbisa kuti zvaiva zvakadaro. Ivo ndokuti: Mutumwa wake.
Hivyo bhakajobha kwa muene, “Bhebhe ndo mwendawazimu.” Lakini akazili kujha ndo kweli ndo muene. Bhakajobha “Ojho ndo Malaika ghwa muene.”
16 Asi Petro wakaramba achigogodza; zvino vakati vazarura vakamuona, vakashamisika.
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 Zvino wakavaninira neruoko kuti vanyarare, akavarondedzera kuti Ishe wakamubudisa sei mutirongo, akati: Pirai kuna Jakobho nekuhama zvinhu izvi. Zvino akabuda akaenda kune imwe nzvimbo.
“Bhajulishayi mambo agha Yakobo ni bhalongo munu.” Kisha akabhoka akalota sehemu jhenge.
18 Zvino kwakati kwaedza, bongozozo risati riri diki rikavapo pakati pemauto, kuti chii chakawira Petro.
Pamusi, kwahjele ni huzuni mbaha kati jha askari, kuhusiana ni kyakitokili kwa Petro.
19 Zvino Herodhe wakati amutsvaka akasamuwana, wakabvunzisisa varindi, akaraira kuti vabviswe. Zvino akabva Judhiya akaburukira Kesariya akagarako.
Baada jha Herode kundonda na ambwene lepi akabhakota bhalinzi ni kuamuru bhakonibhwayi. Akalota kuhoma Uyahudi mpaka Kaisaria ni kutama okhu.
20 Zvino Herodhe wakatsamwira zvikuru veTire neVaSidhoni; asi vakauya kwaari nemoyo umwe, vakashamwaridzana naBhurasto mutariri weimba yekurara yamambo, vakakumbira rugare, nokuti nyika yavo yaipiwa kudya nenyika yamambo.
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 Zvino nezuva rakatarwa Herodhe wakapfeka nguvo dzeumambo, akagara pachigaro chekutonga, akaita nhaurwa kwavari.
Ligono lya kusudibhu Herode afwalili maguanda gha kifalme ni kutama pa kiti kya muene kya kifalme, ni kubhahutubila.
22 Vanhu ndokudanidzira vachiti: Inzwi raMwari, uye kwete remunhu.
Bhanu bhakapiga maghuegho, “Ejhe ndo sauti jha K'yara wala sio sauti jha mwanadamu.”
23 Zvino pakarepo mutumwa waIshe wakamurova, nokuti haana kupa Mwari rukudzo; ndokudyiwa nehonye, akapera.
Mara ghafla Malaika akan'tobha kwa ndabha ampelililepi K'yara utukufu; alelibhu ni chango na afuili.
24 Asi shoko raMwari rakakura rikawanda.
Lakini lilobhi lya k'yara likakhola ni kusambala.
25 Zvino Bhanabhasi naSauro vakadzoka vachibva kuJerusarema, vapedzisa basa, vakaenda naJohwaniwo wainzi Mariko.
Baada jha Barnaba ni Sauli kukamilisya huduma jha bhene bhakabhoka pala bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu, bhakan'tola ni Yohana ambajhe lilina lya kuhogoleka ndo Marko
