Omu biro ebyo omugabe Heroode akakwata bamwe aha b'omu kanisa okubakora kubi. 2Yakobo mukuru wa Yohaana yaamwitsa rurara. 3Ku yaareebire Abayudaaya baakisiima, yaagaruka yaakwata na Petero. (Ebiro ebyo bikaba biri eby'Emigaati Etatumbisiibwe.) 4Ku yaaherize kumukwata, yaamuta omu kihome, yaamutaho abaserukare ikumi na mukaaga kumurinda bana-bana, amaririire kumureeta omu maisho g'abantu bwanyima y'Okuhingurwaho. 52 Petero nikwo yaarinzirwe atyo omu kihome. Kwonka ekanisa yaayezirika kumushabira ahari Ruhanga.

6Heroode ku yaabaire naayenda kumubareetera omu kasheeshe, ekiro ekyo Petero akaba agwejegyeire ari ahagati y'abaserukare babiri, n'abarinzi bari aha rwigi barinzire ekihome. 73 Maraika wa Mukama yaamwemerera aha rubaju, omushana gwajwa omu kishengye; yaateerateera Petero omu mbaju, yaamusisiimura, yaagira ati: Rahuka kwimuka. Enjegyere zaamuruga aha mikono. 8Maraika yaamugira ati: Yezirikye, ojware enkaito zaawe. Yaakora atyo. Kandi ati: Jwara omunagiro gwawe, onkurate. 9Yaashohora, yaamukuratira; kwonka tiyaamanya ekyakorwa maraika yaaba kiri eky'amazima, kureka yaateekateeka ngu n'okworekwa. 10Ku baahingwire aha barinzi b'okubanza n'aba kabiri, baahika aha rwigi rw'ekyoma, orurikuza omu irembo. Orwigi orwo rwabaigukira rwonka; baashohora, baahingura omu muhanda gumwe; ahonaaho maraika yaamutsigaho. 11Petero ku yaagarukirwe omutima omunda, yaagira ati: Mbwenu naamanyira kimwe ku Mukama yaatuma maraika we kunjuna omu mikono ya Heroode, n'okunkiza omuri byona ebi Abayudaaya baabaire baineho amatsiko. 124

Ku yaabyetegyereize, yaaza owa Mariamu nyina wa Yohaana orikwetwa Mako; okwo niyo baabaire bateeraniire baingi nibashaba. 13Ku yaakongootsire aha rwigi rw'eirembo, omwishiki orikwetwa Rooda yaija kwetaba. 14Ku yaamanyire eiraka rya petero, okushemererwa kwamuzibira kwiguraho orwigi, yaagaruka omu nju nairuka, yaabagira ati: Petero ayemereire aha irembo. 155 Baamugira bati: Ogwire eiraro. Omwishiki yaahamiza kimwe ku nikwo kiri. Baagira bati: Ni maraika we. 16Kwonka Petero yaagumizamu naakongoota; ku baigwireho, baamureeba, baatangaara munonga. 17Yaabacureeza n'omukono, yaabateekyerereza oku Mukama yaamwiha omu kihome. Kandi yaagira ati: Mubigambire Yakobo n'ab'eishe-emwe. Atyo yaarugayo, yaaza ahandi. 18Ku bwaseesire, haabaho okujagarara kwingi omu baserukare ahabw'okushoberwa oku Petero abaire. 19Heroode ku yaatumire kumweta, yaashanga abuzire, yaabuuza munonga abarinzi; atyo yaaragiira ku babaita. Bwanyima yaaruga Buyudaaya, yaaza Kaisarea, yaagumayo.

Okufa kwa Heroode

20Heroode akaba agwereirwe kubi munonga aba Tuuro na Sidoni. Nabo baija ah'ari n'omutima gumwe; ku baaherize kunywana na Bulasto omukuru w'abambari b'omugabe, baashaba obusingye, ahakuba ensi yaabo ekaba neeshaka omu nsi y'omugabe. 21Aha kiro eki yaataireho, Heroode yaajwara ebijwaro by'obugabe, yaashutama aha kitebe kye, yaabagambira ebigambo bye. 226 Abantu baagamba n'eiraka rihango bati: Eiraka eri n'erya ruhanga, ti ry'omuntu. 237 Ahonaaho maraika wa Mukama yaamuteera, ahakuba tarahaire Ruhanga kitiinisa; yaariibwa enyogori, yaafa. 248

Kwonka ekigambo kya Ruhanga kyayeyongyera, kandi kyakanya. 259 Barunaba na Saulo, ku baaherize omurimo gwabo gw'okuheereza, baaruga Yerusaalemu, baagarukayo, nibatwara Yohaana orikwetwa Mako.
