Oihana 12
1 A MA ia wa, o aku la na lima o Herode o ke alii e hoomaino aku i kekaki poe o ka ekalesia.
Around this time King Herod began to persecute some members of the church.
2 Pepehi aku la oia ia Iakobo ke kaikuaana o Ioane i ka pahikaua.
He had James, John's brother, executed by sword.
3 A ike aku la ia, ua maikai keia i na Iudaio, hana hou aku la no ia, a hopu iho la ia Petero. (Oia na la o ka barena hu ole.)
When he saw that the Jews were pleased by this, he had Peter arrested too. (This was during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.)
4 A paa, alaila hahao aku la oia ia ia iloko o ka halepaahao, a haawi aku la ia ia i kekahi poe koa, eha kauna, na lakou e malama. Manao iho la ia, a pau ka moliaola, alaila e lawe mai ia ia imua o na kanaka.
After having Peter arrested, he threw him in prison, with four squads of four soldiers each to guard him. He planned to have Peter brought out for a public trial after the Passover.
5 Kiaiia iho la o Petero maloko o ka halepaahao; aka, pule ikaika aku la ka ekalesia i ke Akua nona.
While Peter was kept in prison the church prayed earnestly to God for him.
6 A i ka wa a Herode i manao ai e lawe mai ia ia iwaho, ia po, e moe ana no o Petero mawaena o na koa elua, ua nakinakiia i na kaulahao elua; a o na kiai mamua o ka puka, e malama ana no i ka halepaahao.
The night before Herod was to have him put on trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, chained to each of them, and with guards at the door keeping watch.
7 Aia hoi, he anela o ka Haku i ku mai la, a anapu mai la ka malamalama maloko o ka halepaahao; paipai mai la oia ma ko Petero aoao, hoala mai ia ia, i mai la, E ala koke oe. A haule iho la na kaulahao mai kona lima iho.
Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. The angel shook Peter awake, saying “Quick! Get up!” The chains fell from his wrists,
8 I mai la ka anela ia ia, E liki oe ia oe iho, a e hawele i kou kamaa. Hana iho la no ia pela. I mai la kela ia ia, E aahu oe i kou kapa, a e hahai mai ia'u.
and the angel told him, “Get dressed, and put on your sandals.” So he did. Then the angel told him, “Put on your coat and follow me.”
9 Hele aku Ia hoi ia iwaho, a hahai aku la ia ia. Aole ia i ike, he oiaio ka mea i hanaia mai ai e ka anela; manao iho la ia, he hihio kana i ike ai.
So Peter followed the angel out. He didn't realize that what the angel was doing was actually happening—he thought he was seeing a vision.
10 A hala kekahi papa kiai, a me ka lua o ka papa, a hiki aku laua i ka pani hao e hiki aku ai i ke kulanakanhale; wehe wale mai ka puka no laua, a puka aku la lana mawaho, a hele aku la, a hala kekahi alanui; haalele koke iho la ka anela ia ia.
They passed the first and second sets of guards, and came to the iron gate that led into the city. This opened for them by itself. They went out and down the street, when suddenly the angel left him.
11 A loaa ia Petero ka manao maopopo, i iho li ia, Ua ike maopopo an, he oiaio no; ua hoouna mai ka Haku i kona anela, a ua hoopakele mai nei ia'u mai ka lima o Herode, a me ka manao a pau o na Iudaio.
When Peter came to his senses, he said, “Now I realize this really happened! The Lord sent an angel to rescue me from Herod's power, and from everything that the Jewish people had planned.”
12 I kona hoomaopopo ana ae, hele mai la ia i ka hale o Maria, ka makuwahine o Ioane, i kapaia o Mareko; he poe nui hoi ka i akoakoa mai malaila, e pule ana.
Now that he was conscious of what had happened, Peter went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark. Many believers had gathered there, and were praying.
13 I kona kikeke ana ma ka puka o ka hale, hele mai la kekahi kaikamahine e hoolohe, o Rode kona inoa.
When he knocked on the gateway door, a servant girl called Rhoda came to open up.
14 A ike iho la ia i ko Petero leo, aole ia i wehe i ka puka no ka olioli, holo aku la oia iloko, a hai aku la i ke ku ana mai o Petero ma ke alo o ka puka.
But recognizing Peter's voice, in her excitement she didn't open the door. Instead she ran back inside shouting, “Peter's at the door!”
15 I mai la lakou ia ia. Ua hehena oe. Hoopaa loa aku la kela, he oiaio no. I mai la lakou, O kona anela.
“You're mad!” they told her. But she kept on insisting it was true. So they said, “It must be his angel.”
16 Hoomau aku la o Petero e kikeke ana, a wehe ae la lakou a ike aku la ia ia, kahaba iho la ko lakou naau.
Peter continued knocking. When they did eventually open the door, they saw it was him, and were totally shocked.
17 Peahi mai la me ka lima ia lakou, e noho malie, a hai mai la oia ia lakou i ka lawe ana mai o ka Haku ia ia mailoko mai o ka halepaahao. I mai la ia, E hai aku i keia mau mea ia Iakobo, a me na hoahanau. Haalele aku la oia ia wahi, a hele aku la i kahi e.
Peter held up his hand for them to be quiet, and then explained to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. “Let James and the brothers know about this,” he told them, and then left to go somewhere else.
18 I ke ao ana ae, nui loa iho la ka pioloke o ka poe koa, i ka mea i lilo aku ai o Petero.
When daylight came the soldiers were totally confused as to what had happened to Peter.
19 Imi iho la o Herode ia ia, aole nae i loaa, alaila hookolokolo aku la ia i na kiai, kena ae la, e make lakou. A hele aku la ia mai Iudea aku a Kaisareia, a noho iho la ilaila.
Herod had a thorough search made for him, but he couldn't be found. After interrogating the guards, Herod ordered that they should be executed. Then Herod left Judea and went to stay in Caesarea.
20 Huhu loa iho la o Herode i ko Turo, a mo ko Sidona. Hele lokahi mai la lakou io na la, hoomalimali mai la ia Belaseto, i ka mea nana i malama kahi moe o ko alii, nonoi mai la lakou i kuikahi; no ka mea, ua hanaiia ko lakou aina e ko ke alii.
Now Herod had become furious with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They sent a joint delegation to see him and managed to win Blastus, the king's personal assistant, over to their side. They pleaded for peace with Herod because they were dependent on the king's territory for food.
21 A i ka la i hai mua ia'i, aahu iho la o Herode i ke kapa alii, a noho iho la ma ka nohoalii, e olelo aku ia lakou.
When the day came for their appointment with the king, Herod put on his royal robes, sat on his throne, and gave a speech to them.
22 Uwa mai la na kanaka, E, he leo ka, no ke Akua, aole no ke kanaka.
The audience shouted in response, “This is the voice of a god, not that of a man!”
23 Uhau koke mai la ka anela o ka Haku ia ia, no kona hoonani ole ana i ke Akua. Aiia iho la ia e na ilo, a kaili aku la ke aho.
Immediately the angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory. He was consumed by worms and died.
24 Ulu ae la ka olelo a ke Akua a mahuahua aku la.
But the word of God spread, and more and more people believed.
25 A pau ka hana a Barenaba, laua me Saulo, hoi aku laua mai Ierusalema aku, a lawe pu aku la ia Ioane i kapaia o Mareko.
Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem once they had finished their mission, taking John Mark with them.
