¹Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.

¹Nang panahon ngang yaon ay iniunat ni Herodes ang kaniyang mga kamay upang pahirapan ang ilan sa iglesia.

²And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

²At pinatay niya sa tabak si Santiago na kapatid ni Juan.

³And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

³At nang makita niya na ito'y ikinatutuwa ng mga Judio, ay kaniya namang ipinagpatuloy na hulihin si Pedro. At noo'y mga araw ng mga tinapay na walang lebadura.

⁴And 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.

⁴At nang siya'y mahuli na niya, ay kaniyang inilagay siya sa bilangguan at siya'y ibinigay sa apat na tigaapat na kawal upang siya'y bantayan; na inaakalang siya'y iharap sa bayan pagkatapos ng Paskua.

⁵Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

⁵Kaya nga't si Pedro ay iningatan sa bilangguan: datapuwa't ang iglesia ay maningas na dumalangin sa Dios patungkol sa kaniya.

⁶And 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.

⁶At nang siya'y malapit nang ilabas ni Herodes, nang gabi ring yaon ay natutulog si Pedro sa gitna ng dalawang kawal, na nagagapos ng dalawang tanikala: at ang mga bantay sa harap ng pintuan ay nangagbabantay ng bilangguan.

⁷And, 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.

⁷At narito, tumayo sa tabi niya ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, at lumiwanag ang isang ilaw sa silid na kulungan: at tinapik si Pedro sa tagiliran, at siya'y ginising, na sinasabi, Magbangon kang madali. At nangalaglag ang kaniyang mga tanikala sa kaniyang mga kamay.

⁸And 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.

⁸At sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, Magbigkis ka, at itali mo ang iyong mga pangyapak. At gayon ang ginawa niya. At sinabi niya sa kaniya. Isuot mo sa iyo ang damit mo, at sumunod ka sa akin.

⁹And 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.

⁹At siya'y lumabas, at sumunod; at hindi niya nalalaman kung tunay ang ginawa ng anghel kundi ang isip niya'y nakakita siya ng isang pangitain.

¹⁰When 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.

¹⁰At nang kanilang maraanan na ang una at ang pangalawang bantay, ay nagsirating sila sa pintuang-bakal na patungo sa bayan; na kusang nabuksan sa kanila: at sila'y nagsilabas, at nangagpatuloy sa isang lansangan; at pagdaka'y humiwalay sa kaniya ang anghel.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹At nang si Pedro ay pagsaulian ng isip, ay kaniyang sinabi, Ngayo'y nalalaman kong sa katotohanan ay sinugo ng Panginoon ang kaniyang anghel at iniligtas ako sa kamay ni Herodes at sa buong pagasa ng bayan ng mga Judio.

¹²And 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.

¹²At nang siya'y makapagnilay na, ay naparoon siya sa bahay ni Maria na ina ni Juan na may pamagat na Marcos; na kinaroroonan ng maraming nangagkakatipon at nagsisipanalangin.

¹³And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.

¹³At nang siya'y tumuktok sa pintuang-daan, ay lumabas upang sumagot, ang isang dalagang nagngangalang Rode.

¹⁴And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.

¹⁴At nang makilala niya ang tinig ni Pedro, sa tuwa'y hindi niya binuksan ang pintuan, kundi nagtakbo sa loob, ipinagbigay-alam na nakatayo si Pedro sa harap ng pintuan.

¹⁵And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

¹⁵At kanilang sinabi sa kaniya, Nauulol ka. Datapuwa't buong tiwala niyang pinatunayan na gayon nga. At kanilang sinabi, na yao'y kaniyang anghel.

¹⁶But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.

¹⁶Datapuwa't nanatili si Pedro nang pagtuktok: at nang kanilang buksan, ay nakita nila siya, at sila'y nangamangha.

¹⁷But 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.

¹⁷Datapuwa't siya, nang mahudyatan sila ng kaniyang kamay na sila'y tumahimik, ay isinaysay sa kanila kung paanong inilabas siya ng Panginoon sa bilangguan. At sinabi niya, Ipagbigay-alam ninyo ang mga bagay na ito kay Santiago, at sa mga kapatid. At siya'y umalis, at napasa ibang dako.

¹⁸Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.

¹⁸Nang maguumaga na ay hindi kakaunti ang kaguluhang nangyari sa mga kawal, tungkol sa kung anong nangyari kay Pedro.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹At nang siya'y maipahanap na ni Herodes, at hindi siya nasumpungan, ay siniyasat niya ang mga bantay, at ipinagutos na sila'y patayin. At siya buhat sa Judea ay lumusong sa Cesarea, at doon tumira.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰At galit na galit nga si Herodes sa mga taga Tiro at taga Sidon: at sila'y nangagkaisang pumaroon sa kaniya, at, nang makaibigan na nila si Blasto na katiwala ng hari, ay kanilang ipinamanhik ang pagkakasundo, sapagka't ang lupain nila'y pinakakain ng lupain ng hari.

²¹And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.

²¹At isang takdang araw ay nagsuot si Herodes ng damit-hari, at naupo sa luklukan, at sa kanila'y tumalumpati.

²²And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.

²²At ang bayan ay sumigaw, Tinig ng dios, at hindi ng tao.

²³And 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.

²³At pagdaka'y sinaktan siya ng isang anghel ng Panginoon, sapagka't hindi niya ibinigay ang kaluwalhatian sa Dios: at siya'y kinain ng mga uod, at nalagot ang hininga.

²⁴But the word of God grew and multiplied.

²⁴Datapuwa't lumago ang salita ng Dios at dumami.

²⁵And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

²⁵At nagbalik na galing sa Jerusalem si Bernabe at si Saulo, nang maganap na nila ang kanilang ministerio, na kanilang isinama si Juan na may pamagat na Marcos.
