Incito 12
1 Palikuba pacindi copeleco Mwami Helode mpwalekata nabambi bamu mubungano wa bashoma, kwambeti abapenshe.
But at this time king Herod reached forth his hands to persecute some of those from the church.
2 Walambila mushilikali kwambeti ashine Jemusi, mukwabo Yohane, ne cibeshi. Nendi walamushina.
And he slew James the brother of John with a sword.
3 Mpwalaboneti ici cilakondweleshe Bayuda, walatuma bashilikali kuya kwikata Petulo. Ici calenshika pacindi ca Pasika, kusekelela kwa shinkwa wabula cishikufufumusha.
And seeing that it is pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also: and those were the days of the unleavened bread:
4 Mpobalamwikata, balamuwala mujele, umo mwalikupembelelwa ne makoto ana abashilikali. Kalikoto kamo kalikuba ne bashilikali bana. Helode walikuyanda kumombolosha Petulo pamenso abantu bangi, panyuma pakusekelela Pasika.
whom having seized, he also put in prison, having committed him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; wishing to bring him out to the people after the passover.
5 Neco Petulo walikuba wasungwa mujele. Nomba bantu mu mubungano balikupaila cangofu kuli Lesa.
Then indeed Peter was kept in prison: but prayer to God in his behalf was incessantly made by the church.
6 Mashiku, kwambeti lilo bwakaca Helode akamomboloshe, Petulo walikuba wona pakati pa bashilikali babili. Walikuba wasungwa ncetani shibili, napo pacishinga palikuba bamalonda nabambi.
But when Herod was about to lead him forth, and Peter was sleeping that night between two soldiers, and bound with two chains; and the guards were keeping guard before the door.
7 Kwakubula kwingashila mungelo wa Lesa walashika, mucipinda mobalikuba mwalatuba tuu. Mungeloyo walamunyukumuna mumbafu Petulo, ne kumwambileti, “Fwambana, kupunduka!” Pacindi copeleco ncetani shalalaka kumakasa mbwee panshi.
And, behold, the angel of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in the house; and having touched the side of Peter, he raised him up, saying; Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 Kayi mungelo usa walamwambileti, “Fwala mukopo ne nkwabilo shakobe.” Petulo mpwalenseco, mungelo usa kayi walambeti, “Fwala mwinjila wakobe wapelu, unkonkele.”
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he thus did. And he says to him, Throw thy cloak about thee, and follow me.
9 Petulo walapula kaya kumukonkela, nomba nkalikwinshibeti cilenshinga mungelo nicakubinga. Nendi walikuyeyeti nicimbonimboni.
And having come out, he was following; and did not know that it is true which was done by the angel; but he was thinking that he saw a vision.
10 Mungelo usa pamo ne Petulo, balapitilila kalikoto kabashilikali kakutanguna, kayi pakalikoto kacibili, mpaka balakashika pacisasa ca nshimbi cakwingilila mu munshi. Cisasa calacaluka conka, balo balapula kabaya kwenda munshila ya mu munshi, mungelo usa walashimangana.
And having come through the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and having come out, they came on to the first street; and the angel immediately departed from him.
11 Petulo mpwalashinshimuka walambeti, “Cakubinga lino ndenshibeti Mwami Lesa langa latumu mungelo wakendi kwisa kumpulusha kuli Helode, ne Bayuda abo bapembelelanga kwambeti babone ceticinshike kulinjame.”
And Peter coming to himself, said, Now I know truly, that the Lord sent his angel, and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, out of all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Mpwalenshibeco, walaya kung'anda ya Maliya banyina Yohane Maliko, uko bantu bangi nkobalikuba babungana kabapaila.
And recognizing his whereabouts, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, called Mark; where many were assembled and praying.
13 Petulo mpwalakonkosha pa cisasa cakunsa, mutukashi musebenshi, lina lyakendi Loda, walesa kwambeti acalule.
And he knocking at the door of the gate, a damsel, by name Rhoda, came to hearken:
14 Nomba mpwalenshiba liswi kwambeti nilya Petulo, walakondwa cakwinseti uliya kucalula cisasa, walafwambila mukati nekuya kubambileti, “Petulo wemana pacishinga pansapa!”
and recognizing the voice of Peter, from joy did not open the gate, but running in, she proclaimed that Peter stands before the gate.
15 Balo balambeti, “Obe ulakonyo!” Nsombi nendi walapitilisha kwambeti nicakubinga. Neco balo balambeti, “Mpani ulanyumfu liswi lya mungelo wakendi.”
And they said to her, You are gone mad; but she persisted that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.
16 Petulo walapitilisha kukonkoshowa pacisasa. Mpobalacalula cisasa ne kumuboneti cakubinga endiye Petulo, balekatowa pamulomo.
But Peter remained knocking: and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
17 Petulo walabamweneka ne cikasa cakendi, kwambeti abambile mbuli Lesa ncalamupulishi mujele. Walambeti, “Mwenga mumwambile Jemusi, ne banse nabambi makani awa.” Popelapo Petulo walapula nekuya kumbi.
And he, beckoning to them with his hand to keep silent, related how the Lord led him out from the prison: and said, Proclaim these things to James, and the brethren. And having gone out, he departed into another place.
18 Mpobwalaca mumene, bashilikali balanyongana mu mitwi ne kutina kwambeti, inga nicani cilenshiki kuli Petulo?
And it being day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to where Peter then was.
19 Helode walambila bashilikali kwambeti bamulangaule, mpobalalilwa kumucana, walabepushisha cena bamalonda basa, nomba walabapa mulandu wakwambeti bashiniwe. Panyuma pakendi Helode walafumako ku Yudeya, nekuya kwikala ku Kaisaleya.
And Herod having sought him, and found him not, condemning the guards, commanded that they should be put to death; and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he tarried.
20 Helode walepilwa nabo bantu baku Tulo ne Sidoni. Neco bantu ba mumisena iyi balatuma kalikoto kabantu kwambeti benga banyumfwane nendi. Cakutanguna balaya kuli Blasito, mukulene waku ng'anda ya mwami Helode kwambeti abanyamfwilishe. Kufumapo balaya kuli Helode kuya kumusengeti pabe lumuno, pakwinga cakulya ncebalikukute mucishi cabo, calikufumina mucishi ca mwami Helode.
And he was very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians: and they unanimously came to him, and having persuaded Blastus who was over the chamber of the king, they continued to seek peace; because their country is supported by the kings.
21 Pabusuba mbobalapangana, Helode walafwala byakufwala byacami, walekala pacipuna cabwami, ne kutatika kubambila bantu basa.
But on an appointed day, Herod, invested with his royal apparel, sitting on his tribunal, delivered a discourse to them:
22 Bantu balabilikisheti, “Nteyo muntu lambanga sobwe! Nsombi ni Lesa!”
and the people shouted, It is the voice of God and not of man.
23 Popelapo mungelo wa Lesa, walalengesheti Helode akolwe bulwashi, pakwinga uliya kulemeka Lesa. Myambo yamulibunda eyalamulya nekumushina.
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not the glory to God; and being eaten by worms, he breathed out his soul.
24 Lino maswi a Lesa alamwaikila kulikonse bantu bangi balashoma.
And the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
25 Banabasi ne Saulo mpobalakwanilisha ncebalabatumina ku Yelusalemu, balabwelako. Balamantako Yohane Maliko.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having filled their ministry, taking with them John, called Mark.
