Imbombo 12
1 Unsiki ughuo untua u Herode akagholosia uluvoko lwa mwene kuvamonga vala vano vihuma kukipugha ulwakuti vavapumusie.
And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
2 Akam'buda u Yakobo unyalukolo ghwa Yohana ni bamba.
And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 Ye alolile kuuti ava Yahudi vikela isio, akankola naju Pettrokange. Ulu lulilya amasiki agha makate aghasita kilule.
And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
4 Ye an'kolile, akamponia mu ndinde pe akavika ifipugha fine fya vasikari ulwakuti vamulolelaghe, alyale ihuvila kuntwala kuvanhu yekikilile ikimike kya pasaka.
And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
5 U Petro akabukua mundinde, looli inyifunyo sikavombua ni ngufu ni kipugha vwimila vwa mwene kwa Nguluve.
Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
6 Ikighono yekikiale u Herode nalutile kukumumia, ikilo ijio akaghonile pakati na Kate pa vasikali vavili kumo akungilue na manyololo ghavili, navaloleli pavulongolo pa muliango vakava vilolela indinde.
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 Lolagha, u nyamola ghwa Mutwa nakalingi akamumia nu lumuli lukamulika nkate. Akantova u Petro muluvafu na pikunsisimula akati, “Sisimuka ng'aning'ani.” apuo amanyororo ghoni ghano akakungilue ghakavopoka mumavoko gha mwene.
And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.
8 U munyamola akambula, “Fwala Amanda ghako na fifilato fyako.” U Petro akavimba vulevule. U Munyamola akam'bula, “fwala umwenda ghwako pe umbingililaghe.”
And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 Apuo u Petro akambingilila u Munyamola akahuma kunji. Nalyakitang'inie kind kilyavombilue nu Munyamola kuuti sa kyang'ani. Akahwanagha ighonela injosi.
And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
10 Ye akiling'inie ikilolelo ikilongosi ni kyavuvili vakafika palilyingo ilya kyuma ilya kwingilila kuluta kulikaja, likadinduka lyene vwimila vwa mwene. Vakahuma mulikaja kunji vakika mum'pulo, nakalingi u Nyamola akamuleka.
And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 U Petro ye itang'inie, akati, “Lino nitike kuuti Mutwa amwomwile u Munyamola ghwa mwene ulwakuti anyimie mumavoko gha Herode, namuhuvilo sa vanhu vooni ava muvu Yahudi.”
And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Ye akagwile isi, akaluta kunyumba ja Mariamu ung'ina wawa Yohana juno ghwe Marko; Avakilisite vinga valyakong'anile vikufunya.
And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
13 Ye ahodisie kumulyango ughwa kisighililo, u-mbombi jumo uminja juno itambulivua Roda akisa kudindula.
And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.
14 Ye akaguile lisio lya Petro, nu lukelo akakunua kudindula umulyango; pa uluo, akakimbilila nkate mu kyumba; nakuvavula kuuti u Petro imile kuvulongolo ku mulyingo.
And as soon as she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate.
15 Apuo, vakajova kwa mwene, “Uve ulinyalukwale” looli akakangasia kuuti sakyang'ani ghwe mwene. Vakati “Ujuo ghwe Munyamola ghwa mwene.”
But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.
16 Looli u Petro akajigha ifidudusia, ye vadindwile umulyango, vakamwagha vakadegha kyingo. U Petro akavanyamasia nu luvoko Kimie Kimmie pe akavavula ndavule u Mutwa amumisie kuhuma mundinde akati,
But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
17 “Vavule isi u YakoboYakobo na vanyalukolo va mwene.” Apuo pe akavuka kuluta ku vunge.
But he beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison, and he said: Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place.
18 Pano kukava mwisi, lukava lusukunalo mun'kate muva sikali, kuhumilanila na kino kihumile kwa Petro.
Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 U Herode ye amulondile nalyambweene akavaposia avaloleli pe akalaghila vabudue. Akaluta kuhuma kuvu Yahudi kuhuma kuvu Kaisaria pe akikala kukuo.
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not; having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death; and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there.
20 U Herode alyale ni ng'alasi vwimila vwa vaanhu ava Tiro ni Sidonia. Vakaluta palikimo kwa mwene. Vakava nikimanyani nu Blasto untangili ghwa Ntua, kuuti avatange. Kange vakasuma ulutengano, ulwakuva iisi jave jilyaplilue ikyakulia kuhuma mu iisi ja Ntua.
And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him, and having gained Blastus, who was the king’s chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him.
21 Ikighono kinokilyavikilue u Herode akafwala amenda agha kitua napikukala pakitengo ikyamwene ikya vutua, pe akavadalikila.
And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.
22 anhuAvanhu vakajeghela, “Ili lye lisio lya Nguluve nambe nalisio lya munhu!”
And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 Nakalingi u Nyamola akantova, ulwakuva nalyampelile u Nguluve ulwimiko; akalivua namatekenya akafua
And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.
24 Looli ilisio lya Nguluve likakula na kukwilana.
But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
25 U Sauli nu Barnaba ye vakwisisie imbombo jivanave vakavuka pala vakagomoka ku Yerusalemu, vakantola nu Yohana juno ilitavua ilyakuholua ghwe Marko
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
