Incito 12
1 Palikuba pacindi copeleco Mwami Helode mpwalekata nabambi bamu mubungano wa bashoma, kwambeti abapenshe.
Now, about that time, Herod, the king, laid hands on some of the congregation, to afflict them.
2 Walambila mushilikali kwambeti ashine Jemusi, mukwabo Yohane, ne cibeshi. Nendi walamushina.
And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 Mpwalaboneti ici cilakondweleshe Bayuda, walatuma bashilikali kuya kwikata Petulo. Ici calenshika pacindi ca Pasika, kusekelela kwa shinkwa wabula cishikufufumusha.
And as he saw that this was acceptable to the Jews, he went on to seize Peter also: and it was in the days of 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.
and having seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to the custody of four quaternions of soldiers, intending, after the passover, to bring him out to the people.
5 Neco Petulo walikuba wasungwa mujele. Nomba bantu mu mubungano balikupaila cangofu kuli Lesa.
In the meantime, therefore, Peter was kept in the prison; but earnest and continued prayer was made to God on his account, by the congregation.
6 Mashiku, kwambeti lilo bwakaca Helode akamomboloshe, Petulo walikuba wona pakati pa bashilikali babili. Walikuba wasungwa ncetani shibili, napo pacishinga palikuba bamalonda nabambi.
And when Herod was ready to have brought him out, even that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.
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, a messenger of the Lord presented himself, and a light shone in the house; giving Peter a blow on the side, he awoke him, saying, Arise 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 messenger said to him, Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals; and he did so. And he said to him, Throw your mantle round you, and follow me.
9 Petulo walapula kaya kumukonkela, nomba nkalikwinshibeti cilenshinga mungelo nicakubinga. Nendi walikuyeyeti nicimbonimboni.
And going out he followed him; and he did not know that what was done by the messenger was real; but supposed that he had seen 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 passing through the first and second watch, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city; which opened to them of its own accord. And going out, they went through one street, and immediately the messenger 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, being come to himself, said, Now I know truly, that the Lord has sent his messenger, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectations of the Jewish people.
12 Mpwalenshibeco, walaya kung'anda ya Maliya banyina Yohane Maliko, uko bantu bangi nkobalikuba babungana kabapaila.
And recollecting, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark; where many were gathered together, praying.
13 Petulo mpwalakonkosha pa cisasa cakunsa, mutukashi musebenshi, lina lyakendi Loda, walesa kwambeti acalule.
And as Peter knocked at the door of the outer gate, a maiden, whose name was Rose, went to inquire who was there.
14 Nomba mpwalenshiba liswi kwambeti nilya Petulo, walakondwa cakwinseti uliya kucalula cisasa, walafwambila mukati nekuya kubambileti, “Petulo wemana pacishinga pansapa!”
And knowing Peter's voice, transported with joy, she did not open the gate: but running in, told them that Peter was standing at 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 distracted: but she confidently affirmed that it was so.
16 Petulo walapitilisha kukonkoshowa pacisasa. Mpobalacalula cisasa ne kumuboneti cakubinga endiye Petulo, balekatowa pamulomo.
But Peter continued knocking; and when she opened the door, 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 made a sign to them with his hand to be silent; and related to them how the Lord had conducted him out of prison. And he aid, Inform James and the brethren of these things: and departing, he went to another place.
18 Mpobwalaca mumene, bashilikali balanyongana mu mitwi ne kutina kwambeti, inga nicani cilenshiki kuli Petulo?
And as soon as it was day, there was no small tumult among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
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 searching for him, and not finding him, examined the keeper, and ordered them to be led away to execution. and passing from Judea to Cesarea, he abode there.
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 highly incensed against the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they unanimously came before him; and gaining Blastus, the king's chamberlain, to their interest, they begged for peace; because their country was nourished by that of the king.
21 Pabusuba mbobalapangana, Helode walafwala byakufwala byacami, walekala pacipuna cabwami, ne kutatika kubambila bantu basa.
And upon a set day, Herod, being arrayed in a royal habit, and seated upon the throne, made an oration to them.
22 Bantu balabilikisheti, “Nteyo muntu lambanga sobwe! Nsombi ni Lesa!”
And the people cried out, It is the voice of a God, and not of a man!
23 Popelapo mungelo wa Lesa, walalengesheti Helode akolwe bulwashi, pakwinga uliya kulemeka Lesa. Myambo yamulibunda eyalamulya nekumushina.
But immediately a messenger of the Lord smote him, because he did not give glory to God: and being eaten with worms, he expired.
24 Lino maswi a Lesa alamwaikila kulikonse bantu bangi balashoma.
And the word of God grew and was multiplied.
25 Banabasi ne Saulo mpobalakwanilisha ncebalabatumina ku Yelusalemu, balabwelako. Balamantako Yohane Maliko.
And Barnabas and Saul, having fulfilled their ministry, returned from Jerusalem; bringing along with them John, whose surname was Mark.
