¹Nenguva iyoyo Herodhe mambo wakatandavadza maoko kuti atambudze avo kubva mukereke.

¹Sa ande kodia vriama o amperato Herod chinuilas uni manushen kai sas Devleske andel khangeria.

²Ndokuuraya Jakobho mukoma waJohwani nemunondo.

²Ai mudardia la sabiasa o James, ophral le Iovanosko.

³Zvino wakati achiona kuti zvinofadza vaJudha, wakapfuurira mberi akabata Petrowo; zvino aiva mazuva ezvingwa zvisina mbiriso;

³Ai dikhlia ke so kerelas drago sas le Zhidovonge, phendia te phandaven le Petres. Kodia kerdilia ande vriama le manrhonge bi drozhdi.

⁴akati amubatawo akaisa mutirongo, akamukumikidza kumapoka mana evanhu vana emauto kuti vamurinde, achida kumuisa kuvanhu mushure mepasika.

⁴Line les, ai thode les ande temnitsa, ai thode desh u shov ketani te arakhen les; ai mangen te sikaven les angla narodo pala E Patradi.

⁵Naizvozvo Petro wakachengetwa mutirongo; asi munyengetero waiitwa zvikuru nekereke kuna Mwari uchiitirwa iye.

⁵O Petri sas phandado ande temnitsa; numa e khangeri chi terdiolas te rhugilpe ka Del anda leste.

⁶Zvino Herodhe wakati oda kumubudisa, usiku ihwohwo Petro wakange arere pakati pemauto maviri, akasungwa nemaketani maviri; nevarindi pamberi pemusuwo vakarinda tirongo.

⁶Iek riat mai anglal kai o amperato Herod zhalas te angerel le Petres angla narodo, o Petri sovelas ai phanglo sas dui lantsonsa mashkar dui ketani; ai aver ketani lenas sama angla wudar katar e temnitsa.

⁷Zvino tarira, mutumwa waIshe wakamira parutivi, chiedza ndokupenya muchitokisi; zvino akarova Petro parutivi, akamumutsa achiti: Simuka nekukurumidza. Zvino maketani ake akawa pamaoko ake.

⁷Eta, o angelo le Devlesko avilo, ai ek bari vediara strefialas ande temnitsa. O angelo wushtiardia le Petres, ai phenel leske, "Wushti opre strazo," ai le lantsuria pele tele katar leske vas.

⁸Mutumwa ndokuti kwaari: Zvisunge chiuno, uye sunga manyatera ako. Ndokuita saizvozvo. Zvino akati kwaari: Monera nguvo yako, unditevere.

⁸Ai o angelo phendia leske, "Tho chi prashtai ai le shpargati." Ai o Petri kerdia so phendia leske, o angelo mai phendia leske, "Le pe tute chi raxami, ai aidi pala mande."

⁹Zvino wakabuda akamutevera; uye asingazivi kuti ichokwadi chinoitwa nemutumwa, asi waifunga kuti unoona chiratidzo.

⁹O Petri anklisto avri, ai liape pala leste, ai chi zhanelas ke so kerelas o angelo, chache sas, gindilas ke vizion dikhelas.

¹⁰Zvino vakati vapfuura varindi vekutanga nevechipiri, vakasvika pasuwo reutare raipinda muguta; iro rakavazarukira roga; zvino vakabuda, vakapfuura nzira imwe yemumusha, pakarepo mutumwa ndokubva kwaari.

¹⁰Kana nakhle anglal pervo ketani ai porme anglal duito, aresle angla o wudar o sastruno kai angerel ando foro, kodo wudar phuterdiol korkorho angla lende, ankliste avri, ai dine po drom, ai strazo o angelo meklia le Petres.

¹¹Zvino Petro, wakati apengenuka, akati: Zvino ndinoziva zvirokwazvo kuti Ishe watuma mutumwa wake, uye wandisunungura paruoko rwaHerodhe netarisiro yose yevanhu vevaJudha.

¹¹Avilo peste o Petri ai mothol, akana dikhav ke chaches O Del tradia peske angelos, ai ke lia ma anda vas le amperatosko, ai so godi le Zhiduvuria azhukerenas.

¹²Zvino wakati arangarira akaenda kumba kwaMaria mai vaJohwani wainzi Mako, vazhinji pavakange vakaungana vachinyengetera.

¹²Kana haliardia so kerdilia lesa, gelo ka kher la Mariako, woi sas e dei la Iovanoski, kai akharenas les Mark, kotse but narodo sas andek than ai rhuginaspe.

¹³Zvino Petro wakati agogodza pagonhi resuwo, murandakadzi wakauya kuzoteerera, wainzi Rodha.

¹³O Petri mardia anda o wudar, ai ek shei kai busholas Rhode, avili te dikhel.

¹⁴Zvino wakati achiziva inzwi raPetro, haana kuzarura suwo nekuda kwemufaro, asi wakamhanyira mukati akavaudza kuti Petro umire pamberi pesuwo.

¹⁴Ai prinzhardia o glaso le Petresko, ai ando pesko raduimos chi phuterdia o wudar, numa geli te mothol le kolavrenge ke o Petri angla o wudar sas.

¹⁵Asi vakati kwaari: Unopenga. Asi wakaramba achisimbisa kuti zvaiva zvakadaro. Ivo ndokuti: Mutumwa wake.

¹⁵Won mothonas lake, "Dzili san," numa woi motholas ke chaches sas. Ai won mothonas, "Ke lesko angelo si."

¹⁶Asi Petro wakaramba achigogodza; zvino vakati vazarura vakamuona, vakashamisika.

¹⁶Numao Petri mai marelas anda o wudar, ai kana phuterde o wudar ai dikhle les, chudisaile.

¹⁷Zvino wakavaninira neruoko kuti vanyarare, akavarondedzera kuti Ishe wakamubudisa sei mutirongo, akati: Pirai kuna Jakobho nekuhama zvinhu izvi. Zvino akabuda akaenda kune imwe nzvimbo.

¹⁷Kerdia lenge anda vas te na kerren mui, ai phendia lenge sar O Del lia les avri andai temnitsa. Ai phendia, phenen so kerdilia le Jamesoske ai le kolaver phralenge. Porme gelotar, ai gelo ande kolaver rik.

¹⁸Zvino kwakati kwaedza, bongozozo risati riri diki rikavapo pakati pemauto, kuti chii chakawira Petro.

¹⁸Kana phuterdilo o dies, le ketani chi haliarenas so kerdilia, ai chi zhanenas kai sas o Petri.

¹⁹Zvino Herodhe wakati amutsvaka akasamuwana, wakabvunzisisa varindi, akaraira kuti vabviswe. Zvino akabva Judhiya akaburukira Kesariya akagarako.

¹⁹Ai kana o amperato Herod rodia les, chi arakhe les, ai phushlia katar le bare, ai dia ordina te mudaren le ketanen kai lenas sama lestar.Porme o Herod gelo andai Judea zhando Casarea, te beshel kotse xantsi vriama.

²⁰Zvino Herodhe wakatsamwira zvikuru veTire nevaSidhoni; asi vakauya kwaari nemoyo umwe, vakashamwaridzana naBhurasto mutariri weimba yekurara yamambo, vakakumbira rugare, nekuti nyika yavo yaipiwa chikafu nenyika yamambo.

²⁰O Herod defial xoliariko sas po narodo kai sas ando Tyre ai ando Sidon, numa won avile karing leste. Line pesa pe penge rik, ieka ketani kai busholas Blastus, wo sas pasha amperato, porme gele te mangen katar o Herod e pacha lensa, ke won lestar anenas xaben ande pengo them katar o amperato.

²¹Zvino nezuva rakatarwa Herodhe wakafuka nguvo dzeumambo, akagara pachigaro chekutonga, akaita nhaurwa kwavari.

²¹O dies kai manglia o Herod, liape peste peske tsalia le amperetsisko , ai beshlo po skamin, ai dia lensa duma angla savorhende.

²²Vanhu ndokudanidzira vachiti: Inzwi raMwari, uye kwete remunhu.

²²Ai o narodo tsipilas, phenenas, "Nai kado manush kai del duma, numa del si."

²³Zvino pakarepo mutumwa waIshe wakamurova, nekuti haana kupa Mwari rukudzo; ndokudyiwa nehonye, akapera.

²³Numa strazo o angelo le Devlesko naswardia (dia palma) le amperatos, ke mangelas te garavel pesko barimos, kai trobulas le Devleske te avel, le rhimi xale les, ai mulo.

²⁴Asi shoko raMwari rakakura rikawanda.

²⁴E Vorba le Devleski ashundilias mai but ai mai but.

²⁵Zvino Bhanabhasi naSauro vakadzoka vachibva kuJerusarema, vapedzisa basa, vakaenda naJohwaniwo wainzi Mako.

²⁵Kana o Barnabas ai o Saul getosarde penge buchi avile palpale anda Jerusalem, angerde pesa le Iovanos kai akharenas les Mark.
