Zvino nenguva inenge iyeyo mambo Herodhe akatambanudza mavoko ake kuti atambudze vamwe vekereke;Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
akavuraya Jakobho, mukuru waJohane, nomunondo.And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Zvino wakati achivona kuti zvafadza vaJudha, ndokupfuvura akabata Petro vo. Aiva mazuva ezvingwa zvisinembiriso.And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
Zvino wakati amubata, akamusunga mutorongo, akamuisa kumapoka mana, rimwe nerimwe rinavarwi vana, kuti vamurinde, achiti amuise pamberi pavanhu, kana paseka yapfuvura.And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
Naizvozvo Petro akachengetwa mutorongo,; asi wakanga achinyengetererwa zvikuru nekereke kunaMwari.Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
Zvino Herodhe wakati oda kumubudisa, vusiku ibwobwo Petro wakanga avete pakati pavarwi vaviri, akasungwa namaketani maviri; navarindi vakanga vachirinda torongo pamberi pomukova.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.
Ipapo, tarira, mutumwa waShe wakamirapo, chiedza chikapenya mumba; akarova Petro parutivi, ndokumumutsa, achiti: Muka, ukurumidze. Ipapo maketani akawa pamavoko ake.And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
Mutumwa akati kwaari: Zvisunge chivuno, usungire shangu dzako. Akaita saizvozvo. Akati kwaari: Fuka nguvo yako, unditevere.And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
Akabuda, akamutevera, asingazivi kuti zvirokwazvo zvinoitwa nomutumwa; asi wakati ndinovona chiratidzo.And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
Zvino vakati vapfuvura murindi wokutanga nowechipiri, vakasvika pasuvo ramatare, pavaipinda napo paguta; rikangovazarukira roga; vakabuda, vakapfuvura neimwe nzira, mutumwa ndokubva kwaari pakarepo.When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
Petro wakati apengenuka, akati: Zvino ndinoziva zvirokwazvo kuti Ishe wakatuma mutumwa wake, akandirwira paruvoko rwaHerodhe napazvose zvakanga zvichifungwa navanhu vavaJudha.And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, 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.
Zvino wakati arangarira izvozvo, akaenda kumba kwaMaria, mai vaJohane, wainzi Marko; vazhinji vakanga vakavunganapo, vachinyengetera.And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
Zvino wakati agogodza pagonhi resuvo, musikana wainzi Rodha akavuya kuzoterera.And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
Iye akati achinzwa inzwi raPetro, akasazarura suvo nomufaro, asi wakamhanyira mukati akavavudza kuti Petro umire pasuvo.And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
Ivo vakati kwaari: Unopenga. Asi iye wakasimbisa achiti ndizvozvo. Ivo vakati: Mutumwa wake.And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
Asi Petro wakaramba achigogodza; vakazozarura, vakamuvona, vakashamiswa.But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
Zvino iye akavaninira noruvoko kuti vanyarare, akavarondedzera mutovo waakabudiswa nawo naShe patorongo. Akati: Vudzai Jakobho nehama zvinhu izvozvi; ndokubva akaenda kumwe.But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
Zvino kwakati kwaedza, bope guru rikavapo pakati pavarwi, vachiti Petro waitiwa sei?Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Herodhe wakati amutsvaka, akamushaiwa, ndokubvunzisisa varindi, akaraira kuti vavurawe. Zvino akaburuka Judhea, akaenda Kesaria, akandogara’ko.And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
Zvino akatsamwira zvikuru vanhu veTire neSidhoni; ivo ndokuvuya kwaari vose pamwe chete, vakaita vushamwari naBrasto, mutariri weimba yamambo, vakakumbira rugare, nokuti nyika yavo yaipiwa zvokudya nenyika yamambo.And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country.
Ipapo nezuva rakanga ratarwa, Herodhe akafuka nguvo dzovumambo, akagara pachigaro chake chovushe, akataura kwavari.And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
Ipapo vanhu vakadanidzira vachiti: Inzwi raMwari, harizi romunhu.And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
Pakarepo mutumwa waShe ukamurova, nokuti wakanga asinakukudza Mwari; akadyiwa nehonye, akafa.And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
Asi shoko raMwari rakakura rikawanda.But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Zvino Bharnabhasi naSauro vakati vapedzisa basa ravo, vakadzokera Jerusarema, vakaenda naJohane, wainzi Marko.And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
