Dagiti Aramid 12
1 Ita, kadagidiay metlaeng a tiempo, ni Herodes nga ari, inkabilna ti imana iti dadduma kadagiti nagtaud iti taripnong tapno pagaramidanna ida iti saan a nasayaat.
It was about this time that King Herod [Agrippa sent soldiers] [MTY] who seized [and put in prison] some of the [leaders] of the congregation [in Jerusalem. He did that] because he wanted to make the believers suffer.
2 Pinatayna ni Santiago a kabsat ni Juan babaen iti kampilan.
He commanded [a soldier] to cut off the head of [the apostle] James, the [older] brother of [the apostle] John.
3 Kalpasan a nakitana a naay-ayo daytoy dagiti Judio, intuloyna a tiniliw met ni Pedro. Dayta ket kabayatan dagiti aldaw ti saan a nalebaduraan a tinapay.
When Herod realized that he had pleased the [leaders of the] Jewish people by [doing that], he commanded [soldiers] to arrest Peter [in order to kill him], too. This happened during the festival [when the Jewish people ate] bread [that] did not have yeast.
4 Kalpasan a tiniliwda isuna, impupokna isuna iti pagbaludan ken nangdutok isuna iti uppat a bunggoy dagiti soldado a mangbantay kenkuana; pangpanggepenna nga ipan isuna kadagiti tattao kalpasan ti Ilalabas.
After [they] seized Peter, they put him in prison. They arranged for four groups of soldiers to guard Peter. Each [group] had four soldiers. [Every three hours a different group began to guard him while the others rested]. Herod wanted to bring Peter out [of prison and judge him] in front of the [Jewish] people after the Passover [Festival was finished. He then planned to command soldiers to execute Peter].
5 Isu a ni Pedro ket nagtalinaed iti pagbaludan, ngem sipapasnek ti taripnong a nagkararag iti Dios para kenkuana.
So [for several days] Peter was kept {they kept Peter} in prison. But the [other believers] in the congregation at [Jerusalem] were praying earnestly to God [that he would help] Peter.
6 Iti rabii ti aldaw sakbay iti ipapan ni Herodes a mangirruar kenkuana, matmaturog ni Pedro iti nagbaetan ti dua a soldado, nagalutan iti dua a kawar; ken adda dagiti guardia iti sango ti ruangan a mangbanbantay iti pagbaludan.
The night [before] Herod planned to bring Peter out [from prison to have him executed] publicly, Peter was sleeping [in the prison] between two soldiers, with two chains binding his arms [to the arms of the soldiers. Two other] soldiers were guarding the prison doors.
7 Pagammoan, adda anghel ti Apo a kellaat a nagparang iti abayna, ket adda lawag a nagraniag iti selda. Sinagidna iti sikigan ni Pedro ken riniingna isuna ket kinunana, “Partakam ti bumangon.” Kalpasanna, dagiti kawar ket natinnag manipud kadagiti imana.
Suddenly an angel [from] the Lord [God] stood [beside Peter], and a [bright] light shone in his cell. The angel poked Peter in the side and woke him up and said, “Get up quickly!” [While Peter was getting up], the chains fell off from his wrists. [However, the soldiers were not aware of what was happening].
8 Kinuna ti anghel kenkuana, “Agkaweska ken ikursongmo dagiti sandaliasmo.” Kasta ngarud ti inaramid ni Pedro. Kinuna ti anghel kenkuana, “Ikawesmo ti makinruar a pagan-anaymo ken surotennak.”
Then the angel said to Peter, “Put on your clothes and sandals!” So Peter did. Then the angel said to him, “Fasten your belt/girdle [around you(sg)] and put on your sandals!” So Peter did that. Then the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me!”
9 Isu a simmurot ni Pedro ket rimmuarda. Saanna nga ammo a ti inaramid ti anghel ket pudno. Iti pagarupna, sirmata ti makitkitana.
So, [after Peter put on his cloak and sandals], he followed [the angel] out [of the prison cell], but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. He thought [that he] was seeing a vision.
10 Kalpasan a linabsanda ti umuna a guardia ken ti maikadua, dimtengda iti landok a ruangan nga agturong iti siudad; naglukat daytoy a bukbukodna para kadakuada. Rimmuarda ken simmalogda iti kalsada, ket dagus a pinanawan isuna ti anghel.
Peter and the angel walked by the soldiers who were guarding the two doors, [but the soldiers did not see them. Then] they came to the iron gate that [led] out into the city. The gate opened by itself, and Peter and the angel walked out [of the prison]. After they had walked [a ways] along one street, the angel suddenly disappeared.
11 Idi agbalaw ni Pedro, kinunana, “Ita, pudno nga ammokon nga imbaon ti Apo ti anghelna ket insalakannak manipud iti ima ni Herodes, ken manipud iti amin a namnamaen dagiti tattao a Judio.”
Then Peter [finally] realized that [what had happened to him was not a vision, but] it had really happened. So he said [to himself], “Now I really know that the Lord [God] sent an angel [to help me]. He rescued me from what Herod planned to do [MTY] [to me], and [also] from all the things that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] expected [that Herod would do to me].”
12 Kalpasan a naamirisna daytoy, dimteng isuna iti balay ni Maria, ti ina ni Juan a ti apilyedona ket Marcos; adu a namati ti naguummong sadiay ken agkarkararag.
When Peter realized [that God had rescued him], he went to Mary’s house. She was the mother of John whose other name was Mark. Many [believers] had assembled there, and they were praying [that God would help Peter somehow].
13 Idi nagtuktok isuna iti ridaw ti ruangan, immay simmungbat ti adipen a babai a managan Rhoda.
When Peter knocked at the outer entrance, a servant girl named Rhoda came to find out [who was outside the door].
14 Idi nabigbigna ti timek ni Pedro, saannan a linukatan ti ridaw gapu iti ragsakna; no di ket nagtaray isuna a napan iti siled; impadamagna nga agtaktakder ni Pedro iti ridaw.
[When Peter answered her], she recognized his voice, but she was so happy [and excited] that she did not open the door! Instead, she ran back [into the house]. She [excitedly] announced [to the other believers] that Peter was standing outside the door.
15 Isu a kinunada kenkuana, “Agmauyongka.” Ngem impapilitna a dayta ti pudno. Kinunada, “Dayta ket ti anghelna.”
But [one of] them said to her, “You [(sg)] are crazy!” But she continued saying that it was [really true. Then] they repeatedly said, “[No], [it cannot be Peter]. It is [probably] the angel [who was guarding] him [who has come] (OR, It is the angel [who has guarded/protected] him, [and he has come to tell us that] Peter [has died].)”
16 Ngem intuloy ni Pedro ti nagtuktuktok, ket idi linukatanda ti ridaw, nakitada isuna ket nagsiddaawda.
But Peter continued knocking [on the door. So when someone finally] opened the door, they saw that it was Peter, and they were completely amazed!
17 Nagsenyas ni Pedro kadakuada babaen iti imana nga agulimekda, ken imbagana kadakuada no kasano nga inruar isuna ti Dios idiay pagbaludan. Kinunana, “Ipadamagyo dagitoy a banbanag kenni Santiago ken kadagiti kakabsat a lallaki.” Kalpasanna, pimmanaw isuna ket napan iti sabali a lugar.
Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet. Then he told them exactly how the Lord [God] had led him out of the prison. He [also] said, “Tell James, the [leader] of our [congregation], and our [other] fellow believers what has happened.” Then [Peter left and] went away to another town.
18 Ita, idi umaldawen, awan ti uray bassit a gagar kadagiti soldado maipapan iti napasamak kenni Pedro.
The next morning the soldiers [who had been guarding] Peter became terribly distressed, [because they did not know] what had happened to him.
19 Kalpasan a biniruk isuna ni Herodes ket saanna a mabirukan isuna, pinalutpotna dagiti guardia ket kalpasanna, imbilinna a mapapatayda. Kalpasanna, simmalog isuna manipud Judea ket nagturong idiay Caesarea ket nagtalinaed sadiay.
Then Herod [heard about it]. So he [commanded soldiers] to search for Peter, but they did not find him. Then he questioned the soldiers [who had been guarding Peter], and asked them, “[How did Peter get away when you were there guarding him?]” [But they could not explain it. So] he commanded them to be led away [to be executed] {[other soldiers] to lead them away [to execute them]}. [Afterwards], Herod went from Judea [province] down to Caesarea, where he stayed [for some time].
20 Ita, nakapungtot unay ni Herodes kadagiti tattao ti Tiro ken Sidon. Nagkuyog dagitoy a napan kenkuana. Inallukoyda ni Blasto, a katulongan ti ari, a tulunganna ida. Ket dinawatda ti kapia, gapu ta adda idi naawat ti pagilianda a taraon manipud iti pagilian ti ari.
King Herod had been furiously angry with the people [who lived] in Tyre and Sidon [cities. Then] one day some men [who represented them] came unitedly [to Caesarea in order to meet with] Herod. They persuaded Blastus, who was one of Herod’s important officials, to tell [Herod] that the people [in their cities] wanted to make peace [with him. They wanted to be able to trade with the people that Herod ruled], because they needed to buy food from those regions. [Herod had commanded the people in the areas he ruled to stop selling food to the people in those cities].
21 Iti naituding nga aldaw, nagkawes ni Herodes iti pagan-anayna kas ari ket nagtugaw iti trono; nagbitla kadakuada.
On the day that Herod had planned to [meet with them], he put on (very expensive clothes that showed that he was king/his royal robes). Then he sat on his (throne/chair from which he ruled [people]), and [formally] addressed [all] the people [who had gathered there].
22 Nagpukkaw dagiti tattao, “Daytoy ket timek iti maysa a dios, saan nga iti tao!
Those who [were listening to him] shouted repeatedly, “[This man who] is speaking is a god, not a man!”
23 Dagus a dinangran isuna ti anghel ti Dios, gapu ta saanna nga inted iti Dios ti pammadayaw; kinnan isuna dagiti igges ket natay.
So, because Herod [let the people praise him] instead of praising God, immediately an angel [from] the Lord [God] caused Herod to become seriously ill. [Many] worms ate his intestines, and [soon] he died [very painfully].
24 Ngem ti sao ti Dios ket dimmakel ken immadu.
[The believers] continued telling God’s message to people in many places, and ([the number of people who believed in Jesus] was continually increasing/there were continually more and more people who were believing in Jesus).
25 Kalpasan a lineppas da Bernabe ken Saulo ti gapuanan iti nakaibaonanda idiay Jerusalem, nagsublida manipud sadiay; inkuyogda ni Juan, a Marcos ti apilyedona.
When Barnabas and Saul finished [delivering the money to help the Jewish believers in Judea], they left Jerusalem and returned [to Antioch, in Syria province]. They took John, whose other name was Mark, with them.
