< Acts 12 >

1 Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
Linu mwezo inako Simwine Heroda avali kusebelisa inguzu zakwe kusumina vava kuzwila mwikeleke mukuti avasukulule.
2 He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
Abehayi Jakovo mwache wa Joani cha mukwale.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
Kuzwaho chinga bona kuti zisangisa majuda, nichazwila hansu nikusumina Pitorosi naye. Linu ayo avali mazuva achikwa chisena mulungo.
4 When he had arrested him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
Hmana kumusumina, nicha mubika mwitolongo linu nicha bika zikwata zone za masole kumu mamela; Avali kuzeza kumuleta kubatu kumasule Epaseka haimana.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
Linu Pitorosi ava bwikitwe mwitolongo, Imi balumeli kana ba bali kusiya kumu kumbilila kwa Ireeza mwikereke.
6 The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
Izuva lichilila Heroda avakuya ku kumuzwisa hanze. Awo masiku aswana Pitrosi avalele hakati kamasole bovere, nasumwinwe ichaini; vaganteli habusu bya chiyazo niba mamele itolongo.
7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off his hands.
Muvone, Iñiloyi lya Simwine inakozana chillya libonahalisa, linu mu moni chiwa munika mwizuvo yetolongo. chilya vakula Pitrosi he mbali niku muvusa,”'buke chakulitahanela' Imi ichaini chizawa kumayaza akwe.
8 The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”
Iñiloyi chilyawamba kwali nichinilyati, lizwatike zizwato, Imi zwate nimakatulo” Pitrosi cha chita vulyo. Iñiloyi chi lyati kwali, zwate zizwato za hanze unichilile
9 And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
Linu Pitrosi niche chilila Iñoliyi ni kuzwa haze, kana abezi kuti zipangahala zakusakusima zilipanga Iñiloyi, Abakutele uvwene ipono,
10 When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
Hava hitilila mugateli we intazi ni wa buveli, Nichibakeza kumulyango wesipi ubakuya mwitolopo; nichi we yaluka uwo wine. nichi bazwa haze nikuya mu mungwangwa, Iñiloyi nichi lyamusiya haho.
11 When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”
Linu Pitrosi chinga volelwa mano, chawamba kuti,” hanu chabusakusima chine ziva Simwine aba tumini Iñoloyi lyakwe ni kwiza kuni sumununa mu mayaza a Heroda, mane nizintu ziva va livelele vantu va majuda.
12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
“Hamana kuzeza izii, Nicha yenda kuzubo ya Maria inyina wa Joani izina livesi ba vali njiva Mareka; vangi vazumina baba kungene momo nivakwete kurapera.
13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Chinga ngongota ha mulyango werapa, muhikana wamukazana wezina lya Roda hakeza kukwi tava.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
Halemuha kuti izwi njilya Pitrosi, kuzwililila kuku sanga chakangwa kwiyalula mulyango; kuhita, nicha tilila muzubo; nicha kava wambila kuti Pitrosi uzimene hamulyango;
15 They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
Linu nichi vanta kwali,' umbulumuka,” Nicha tundamena kuti njimona bovulyo. Nichi vata kwali, “Iñiloloyi lyakwe.”
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
Linu Pitrosi nicha zwila havunsu niku ngongota, chinga veyalula mulyango, Nichi vamubona niku komokwa,
17 But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.
Pitrosi nicha vatondeza kama yaza kuti vantotole. Linu nicha vawambila Simwine mwava muzwisikizi mwitolongo. Ni chati, “mukawambile inzi zintu Jakovo niva mwakwe,” kuzwaho nicha vasiya nikuya kuchimwi chivaka.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
Linu chinga lyazwa izuva. Nichi kwava nikulyangana kungi mukati kamasole, kuamana nichi vapangahali kwa Pitrosi.
19 When Herod had sought for him and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
Kumasule Heroda chinga mungana linu kana aba muwani, NIchavuza ba ngatela nikuha itaelo kuti vehayiwe. Kuzwa aho ni chazwa mwa Judea nikuya mwa Sesarea niku ke kala mwateni.
20 Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.
Linu Heroda nicha vengela vantu va Tire ni Sidoni. Nichi vayenda hamwina kwali. Nichi vaka wola Blasto mutusi wa Simwine, mukuti avatuse. Kuzwaho nichiva kumbila ikozo, Mukuti ikanda yavo ivatambuli zilyo zayo zizwa kwa simwine weyo ikanda.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
Mwizuva livatomwa Heroda nicha zwata zizwato zakwe zavu simwine nikwikala hachihuna chavu Simwine; Nicha wamba kuvali.
22 The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
LInu batu chiva ngalumuka, “nikuta kuti ilzwi lya muzimu, isinyi lya muntu;”
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.
Pona hahaho Iñiloyi lya Simwine chilya mukava, Mukuti kana avahi Ireeza ikanya; Nicha liwa masene niku nfwa.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Imi izwii lye Ireeza chilya kula ni njihekana.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.
Linu Barnabasi ni Saule chinga vamana musevesi mwa Jerusalema, nichi vabolela haho, nivahinda Joani, Izina livesi va vali njiva Mareka.
