¹Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.

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

²He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.

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

³When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during 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.

⁴When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

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 the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to 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.

⁶The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of 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, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” 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.

⁸The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak, 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. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, 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 guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately 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.

¹¹When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”

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.

¹²Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were 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.

¹³When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a maid named Rhoda came to answer.

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

¹⁴When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of 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.

¹⁵They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “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. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.

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

¹⁷But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James, and to the brothers.” Then he departed, and went 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.

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

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

¹⁹When Herod had sought for him, and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed 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.

²⁰Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.

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.

²¹On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.

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

²²The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”

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

²³Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

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.

²⁵Barnabas and Saul returned to TR reads “from” instead of “to” Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking 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.
