Mga Gawa 12
1 Nang panahong ding iyon, pinagbuhatan ng kamay ni haring Herodes ang ilan sa kapulungan, upang abusuhin sila.
Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.
2 Pinatay niya si Santiago na kapatid ni Juan sa pamamagitan ng espada.
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
3 Nang makita niya na nalugod ang mga Judio, ipinadakip din niya si Pedro. Ito ay sa panahon ng mga tinapay na walang lebadura.
And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened bread.
4 Pagkatapos siyang dakipin, ipinabilanggo siya at nagtalaga ng apat na pangkat ng mga sundalo upang siya ay bantayan; binabalak niyang iharap si Pedro sa mga tao pagkatapos ng Paskwa.
And when he had taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.
5 Kaya nanatili si Pedro sa kulungan, ngunit ang kapulungan ay masigasig na nanalangin sa Diyos para sa kaniya.
Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.
6 Nang araw bago siya ilabas ni Herodes, nang gabing iyon, natutulog si Pedro sa pagitan ng dalawang kawal, gapos ng dalawang mga tanikala at nagbabantay ang mga bantay sa harap ng pintuan ng bilangguan.
And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door kept the prison.
7 At biglang lumitaw ang isang anghel ng Diyos sa kaniyang tabi at isang ilaw ang lumiwanag sa bilangguan. Tinapik niya si Pedro sa tagiliran at ginising at sinabi, “Bumangon kang madali.” Pagkatapos nahulog ang kaniyang mga kadena sa kaniyang mga kamay.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
8 Sinabi sa kaniya ng anghel, “Magdamit ka at isuot ang iyong sandalyas.”Ginawa nga ito ni Pedro. Sinabi ng anghel sa kaniya, “Isuot mo ang iyong panlabas na kasuotan at sumunod ka sa akin.”
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 Kaya sumunod nga si Pedro sa anghel at lumabas. Hindi niya alam na ang nangyari sa pamamagitan ng anghel ay totoo. Ang akala niya nakakakita siya ng isang pangitain.
And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw a vision.
10 Pagkatapos nilang makalampas sa una at sa pangalawang bantay, nakarating sila sa pintuang bakal na patungo sa lungsod, kusa itong bumukas para sa kanila. Lumabas sila at bumaba sa isang kalye, at kaagad siyang iniwan ng anghel.
And when they were past the first and the second guard, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway the angel departed from him.
11 Nang matauhan si Pedro, sinabi niya, “Ngayon, aking napatunayan na ipinadala ng Diyos ang kaniyang anghel at iniligtas ako sa kamay ni Herodes, at mula sa lahat ng inaasahan ng mga mamamayang Judio.”
And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Pagkatapos niyang maunawaan ito, dumating siya sa bahay ni Maria na ina ni Juan na ang huling pangalan ay Marcos; maraming mananampalataya ang nagkatipon doon at nananalangin.
And 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 and were praying.
13 Nang kumatok siya sa may pintuan ng tarangkahan, isang aliping babae na nagngangalang Roda ang pumunta upang sumagot.
And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.
14 Nang makilala niya ang tinig ni Pedro, sa kaniyang kagalakan, hindi niya nabuksan ang pintuan; sa halip, tumakbo siya sa silid at kaniyang ibinalita na nakatayo si Pedro sa may pintuan.
And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.
15 Kaya sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Nababaliw ka na.”Ngunit kaniyang ipinilit na ito ay totoo. Kanilang sinabi, “Ito ang kaniyang anghel.”
And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, It is his angel.
16 Ngunit patuloy pa rin si Pedro sa pagkatok, at nang kanilang buksan ang pintuan, nakita nila siya at sila ay namangha.
But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
17 Sumenyas si Pedro sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kamay na tumahimik, at sinabi niya sa kanila kung paano siya inilabas ng Diyos sa bilangguan. Sinabi niya, “Ibalita ninyo ang mga bagay na ito kay Santiago at sa mga kapatid.” Pagkatapos umalis siya at nagpunta sa ibang lugar.
But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place.
18 Nang sumapit na ang araw, gulong-gulo ang mga kawal tungkol sa nangyari kay Pedro.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 Pagkatapos siyang hanapin ni Herodes at hindi matagpuan, tinanong niya ang mga bantay at iniutos na patawan sila ng kamatayan. Pagkatapos siya ay bumaba mula Judea hanggang Cesarea at nanatili doon.
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judæa to Cæsarea, and tarried there.
20 Ngayon galit na galit si Herodes sa mga taga-Tiro at Sidon. Pumunta sila sa kaniya na magkakasama. Hinikayat nila si Blasto, na kanang kamay ng Hari, upang tulungan sila. Pagkatapos humiling sila ng kapayapaan, dahil ang kanilang bansa ay tumatanggap ng pagkain mula sa bansa ng hari.
Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country.
21 Nang dumating ang takdang araw, nagbihis si Herodes ng marangyang kasuotan at umupo sa trono; nagsalita siya sa kanila.
And upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto them.
22 Sumigaw ang mga tao, “Ito ang tinig ng isang diyos, hindi ng isang tao!”
And the people shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 Kaagad siyang hinampas ng isang anghel ng Panginoon, dahil hindi niya ibinigay ang kaluwalhatian sa Diyos; kinain siya ng mga uod at namatay.
And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
24 Ngunit lumago at lumaganap ang salita ng Diyos.
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 Nang matapos nina Bernabe at Saul ang kanilang misyon sa Jerusalem, bumalik sila mula doon; isinama nila si Juan na ang huling pangalan ay Marcos.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
