¹And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to do evil to certain of those of the assembly,

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 having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also — and they were the days of the unleavened food —

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.

⁴whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover 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, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the assembly 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 was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards also before the door were keeping 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 lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, `Rise in haste,` and his chains fell from off [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.

⁸The messenger also said to him, `Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals;` and he did so; and he saith to him, `Put thy garment round and be following 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 having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew not that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking 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.

¹⁰and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger 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 Peter having come to himself, said, `Now I have known of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and 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.

¹²also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and 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 Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda,

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

¹⁴and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,

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;` and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, `It is his messenger;`

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

¹⁶and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,

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

¹⁷and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison, and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these things;` and having gone forth, he went on to 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.

¹⁸And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,

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

¹⁹and Herod having sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, did command [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea, he was abiding [there].

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 the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king`s;

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 on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making 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 populace were shouting, `The voice of a god, and not of a man;`

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

²³and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord, because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.

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.

²⁴And the word of God did grow and did multiply,

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

²⁵and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with [them] John, who was surnamed 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.
