1And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
1Y EN el mismo tiempo el rey Herodes echó mano á maltratar algunos de la iglesia.
2And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
2Y mató á cuchillo á Jacobo, hermano de Juan.
3And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
3Y viendo que había agradado á los Judíos, pasó adelante para prender también á Pedro. Eran entonces los días de los ázimos.
4And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
4Y habiéndole preso, púsole en la cárcel, entregándole á cuatro cuaterniones de soldados que le guardasen; queriendo sacarle al pueblo después de la Pascua.
5Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
5Así que, Pedro era guardado en la cárcel; y la iglesia hacía sin cesar oración á Dios por él.
6And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
6Y cuando Herodes 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.
7And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.
7Y he aquí, el ángel del Señor sobrevino, y una luz resplandeció en la cárcel; é hiriendo á Pedro en el lado, le despertó, diciendo: Levántate prestamente. Y las cadenas se le cayeron de las manos.
8And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
8Y le dijo el ángel: Cíñete, y átate tus sandalias. Y lo hizo así. Y le dijo: Rodéate tu ropa, y sígueme.
9And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
9Y saliendo, le seguía; y no sabía que era verdad lo que hacía el ángel, mas pensaba que veía visión.
10And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him.
10Y como pasaron la primera y la segunda guardia, vinieron á la puerta de hierro que va á la ciudad, la cual se les abrió de suyo: y salidos, pasaron una calle; y luego el ángel se apartó de él.
11And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
11Entonces Pedro, volviendo en sí, dijo: Ahora entiendo verdaderamente que el Señor ha enviado su ángel, y me ha librado de la mano de Herodes, y de todo el pueblo de los Judíos que me esperaba.
12And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
12Y habiendo considerado esto , llegó á casa de María la madre de Juan, el que tenía por sobrenombre Marcos, donde muchos estaban juntos orando.
13And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.
13Y tocando Pedro á la puerta del patio, salió una muchacha, para escuchar, llamada Rhode:
14And as soon as she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate.
14La cual como conoció la voz de Pedro, de gozo no abrió el postigo, sino corriendo adentro, dió nueva de que Pedro estaba al postigo.
15But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.
15Y ellos le dijeron: Estás loca. Mas ella afirmaba que así era. Entonces ellos decían: Su ángel es.
16But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
16Mas Pedro perseveraba en llamar: y cuando abrieron, viéronle, y se espantaron.
17But he beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison, and he said: Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place.
17Mas él haciéndoles con la mano señal de que callasen, les contó cómo el Señor le había sacado de la cárcel. Y dijo: Haced saber esto á Jacobo y á los hermanos. Y salió, y partió á otro lugar.
18Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
18Luego que fué de día, hubo no poco alboroto entre los soldados sobre qué se había hecho de Pedro.
19And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not; having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death; and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there.
19Mas Herodes, como le buscó y no le halló, hecha inquisición de los guardas, los mandó llevar. Después descendiendo de Judea á Cesarea, se quedó allí .
20And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him, and having gained Blastus, who was the king’s chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him.
20Y Herodes estaba enojado contra los de Tiro y los de Sidón: mas ellos vinieron concordes á él, y sobornado Blasto, que era el camarero del rey, pedían paz; porque las tierras de ellos eran abastecidas por las del rey.
21And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.
21Y un día señalado, Herodes vestido de ropa real, se sentó en el tribunal, y arengóles.
22And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
22Y el pueblo aclamaba: Voz de Dios, y no de hombre.
23And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.
23Y luego el ángel del Señor le hirió, por cuanto no dió la gloria á Dios; y espiró comido de gusanos.
24But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
24Mas la palabra del Señor crecía y era multiplicada.
25And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
25Y Bernabé y Saulo volvieron de Jerusalem cumplido su servicio, tomando también consigo á Juan, el que tenía por sobrenombre Marcos.
