Acts 12
1 Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.
Nang panahong ding iyon, pinagbuhatan ng kamay ni haring Herodes ang ilan sa kapulungan, upang abusuhin sila.
2 He killed Jacob, the brother of Yochanan, with the sword.
Pinatay niya si Santiago na kapatid ni Juan sa pamamagitan ng espada.
3 When he saw that it pleased the Judeans, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
Nang makita niya na nalugod ang mga Judio, ipinadakip din niya si Pedro. Ito ay sa panahon ng mga tinapay na walang lebadura.
4 When 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.
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.
5 Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.
Kaya nanatili si Pedro sa kulungan, ngunit ang kapulungan ay masigasig na nanalangin sa Diyos para sa kaniya.
6 The 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.
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.
7 And 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 his hands.
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.
8 The 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.”
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.”
9 And 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.
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.
10 When 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.
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.
11 When 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.”
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.”
12 Thinking about that, he came to the house of Miriam, the mother of Yochanan who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
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.
13 When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Nang kumatok siya sa may pintuan ng tarangkahan, isang aliping babae na nagngangalang Roda ang pumunta upang sumagot.
14 When she recognised 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.
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.
15 They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”
Kaya sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Nababaliw ka na.”Ngunit kaniyang ipinilit na ito ay totoo. Kanilang sinabi, “Ito ang kaniyang anghel.”
16 But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.
Ngunit patuloy pa rin si Pedro sa pagkatok, at nang kanilang buksan ang pintuan, nakita nila siya at sila ay namangha.
17 But 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 Jacob and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.
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.
18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir amongst the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
Nang sumapit na ang araw, gulong-gulo ang mga kawal tungkol sa nangyari kay Pedro.
19 When Herod had sought for him and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
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.
20 Now 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.
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.
21 On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
Nang dumating ang takdang araw, nagbihis si Herodes ng marangyang kasuotan at umupo sa trono; nagsalita siya sa kanila.
22 The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
Sumigaw ang mga tao, “Ito ang tinig ng isang diyos, hindi ng isang tao!”
23 Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.
Kaagad siyang hinampas ng isang anghel ng Panginoon, dahil hindi niya ibinigay ang kaluwalhatian sa Diyos; kinain siya ng mga uod at namatay.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Ngunit lumago at lumaganap ang salita ng Diyos.
25 Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them Yochanan who was called Mark.
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.
