Hechos 12
1 Y en el mismo tiempo el rey Heródes tendió las manos para maltratar a algunos de la iglesia.
BUT at that time Herodes the king, he who was surnamed Agripos, stretched forth hands upon some who were in the church, to ill-treat them.
2 Y mató a Santiago el hermano de Juan a espada.
And he killed with the sword Jakub the brother of Juhanon.
3 Y viendo que había agradado a los Judíos, pasó adelante para prender también a Pedro. (Eran entonces los días de los panes sin levadura.)
And when he saw that this pleased the Jihudoyee, he added to apprehend also Shemun Kipha. And they were the days of the Phatiree.
4 El cual prendido, le echó en la cárcel, entregándo le a cuatro cuaterniones de soldados que le guardasen: queriendo sacarle al pueblo después de la pascua.
And he apprehended him and cast him into the house of the bound, and delivered him to sixteen soldiers to keep him, that after the Petscha he might deliver him to the people of the Jihudoyee.
5 Así que, Pedro era guardado en la cárcel; mas la iglesia hacía oración a Dios sin cesar por él.
And while Shemun was kept in the house of the bound, constant prayer was offered by the church on his behalf unto Aloha.
6 Y cuando Heródes le había de sacar, aquella misma noche, estaba Pedro durmiendo entre dos soldados, preso con dos cadenas, y los guardas delante de la puerta que guardaban la cárcel.
And in that night of the coming morning when he should be delivered up, while Shemun slept between two soldiers, and bound with two chains, and the others were watching the gates of the house of the bound,
7 Y, he aquí, el ángel del Señor sobrevino, y una luz resplandeció en la cárcel: e hiriendo a Pedro en el lado, le despertó, diciendo: Levántate prestamente. Y las cadenas se le cayeron de las manos.
the angel of the Lord stood over him, and light shined in all the house.
8 Y le dijo el ángel: Cíñete, y átate tus sandalias. Y lo hizo así. Y le dijo: Rodéate tu ropa, y sígueme.
And he smote him on his side, and said to him, Arise quickly. And the chains fell from his hands. And the angel said to him, bind thy loins, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And again he said to him, Wrap thy mantle, and come after me.
9 Y saliendo, le seguía; y no sabía que era verdad lo que hacía el ángel: mas pensaba que veía una visión.
And he went forth, and came after him; not knowing that what was done by the hand of the angel was reality, for he thought that he saw a vision.
10 Y como pasaron la primera y la segunda guarda, vinieron a la puerta de hierro, que va a la ciudad, la cual se les abrió de suyo; y salidos, pasaron adelante por una calle; y luego el ángel se apartó de él.
And when he had passed the first and second guard, they came to the gate of iron, and it was opened to them of its own accord. And when they went forth and had passed one street, the angel departed from him.
11 Entonces Pedro, volviendo en sí, dijo: Ahora entiendo verdaderamente, que el Señor ha enviado su ángel, y me ha librado de la mano de Heródes, y de toda la expectación del pueblo de los Judíos.
Then acknowledged Shemun, and said, Now know I in truth that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me from the hand of Herodes the king, and from that which the Jihudoyee had calculated against me.
12 Y habiendo considerado, llegó a casa de María la madre de Juan, el que tenía por sobrenombre Márcos, donde muchos estaban congregados, y orando.
And when he had understood, he came to the house of Mariam the mother of Juhanon, he who is surnamed Markos; because many brethren were assembled there and praying.
13 Y tocando Pedro a la puerta del portal, salió una muchacha, para escuchar, que se llamaba Rode.
And he knocked at the gate of the court, and there came forth to answer him a damsel whose name was Roda.
14 La cual como conoció la voz de Pedro, de gozo no abrió la puerta, sino corriendo dentro, dio la nueva, que Pedro estaba ante la puerta.
And she knew the voice of Shemun; and for joy she opened not the gate, but returned with running, and said to them, Shemun, behold, stands at the gate of the court.
15 Y ellos le dijeron: Estás loca: mas ella afirmaba que era así. Entonces ellos decían: Su ángel es.
And they said to her, Thou art altogether moved. And she contended that it was so. And they said, It may be that it is his angel.
16 Empero Pedro perseveraba en llamar; y como le abrieron la puerta, le vieron, y se espantaron.
And Shemun knocked at the gate; and they went forth, and seeing him they were astonished.
17 Mas él, haciéndoles señal con la mano que callasen, les contó como el Señor le había sacado de la cárcel; y dijo: Hacéd saber esto a Santiago y a los hermanos. Y salido, se partió a otro lugar.
And he beckoned to them with his hand to be silent; and entered, and showed them how the Lord had brought him out from the house of the bound. And he said to them, Show these to Jakub and to the brethren; and he departed and went to another place.
18 Siendo pues de día, había no poco alboroto entre los soldados, sobre qué se había hecho de Pedro.
And when it was morning there was made a great tumult among the soldiers concerning Shemun, what was become of him?
19 Mas Heródes, como le buscó, y no le halló, hecha inquisición de los guardas, los mandó llevar a la muerte. Y descendiendo de Judea a Cesarea, se quedó allí.
But Herodes when he inquired and found him not, condemned the guards, and commanded that they should die. And he went forth from Jihud and came to Cesarea.
20 Y Heródes estaba enojado contra los de Tiro, y los de Sidón; mas ellos vinieron de acuerdo a él; y habiendo sobornado a Blasto, que era el camarero del rey, pedían paz; porque las tierras de ellos eran mantenidas por las del rey.
And because he was angry with the Tsuroyee and with the Tsaidonoyee, they gathered together and came to him by persuasion of Blestos the chamberlain of the king, and prayed of him that peace should be to them, because the sustenance of their country was from the kingdom of Herodes.
21 Y en un día señalado, Heródes vestido de ropa real, se sentó en su trono, y les arengaba.
But upon a public day Herodes was clothed with the robe of royalty, and sat upon the tribunal, and he discoursed to an assembly.
22 Y el pueblo aclamaba, diciendo: Esta es la voz de un dios, y no de un hombre.
But all the people exclaimed, and said, These are the words of a god, and not of a man.
23 Y luego el ángel del Señor le hirió, por cuanto no dio la gloria a Dios; y comido de gusanos espiró.
And on this account, because he gave not the glory to Aloha, in that hour the angel of the Lord smote him, and he was corroded with worms, and died.
24 Mas la palabra del Señor crecía, y se multiplicaba.
And the gospel of Aloha was proclaimed, and was great.
25 Y Barnabás y Saulo volvieron de Jerusalem, cumplido su ministerio, tomando consigo a Juan, el que tenía por sobrenombre Márcos.
BUT Bar Naba and Shaol returned from Urishlem to Antiokia after they had accomplished their ministry; and they took with them Juhanon who was called Markos.
