Acts 12
1 Now about that time Herod the king threw on hands to harm some of those from the church.
Nan menm epòk sa a, wa Ewòd te pran maltrete kèk manm nan legliz la.
2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
Li fè touye Jak, frè Jan an, ak nepe.
3 And after seeing that it was pleasing the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also (and those were the days of unleavened bread),
Lè l' wè sa te fè jwif yo plezi, li fè arete Pyè tou. Se te epòk fèt Pen san ledven an.
4 whom, having also arrested, he put in prison, having delivered to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him forth to the people.
Lè li fin arete Pyè, Ewòd fè mete l' nan prizon. Li mete kat eskwad, yo chak avèk kat sòlda, pou veye li. Li te fè lide pou l' te mennen l' devan pèp la apre fèt Delivrans jwif yo.
5 Indeed therefore Peter was kept in the prison, but fervent prayer was being made by the church to God for him.
Pyè te anba gwo siveyans nan prizon an. Men, manm legliz yo t'ap lapriyè Bondye pou li san rete.
6 And when Herod was about to bring him forth, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound by two chains. And guards in front of the door guarded the prison.
Lavèy jou pou Ewòd ta mennen Pyè konparèt devan pèp la, nan mitan lannwit Pyè t'ap dòmi ak de sòlda, yonn sou chak kote li. Yo te mare l' ak de chenn. Epi te gen gad devan pòt la ki t'ap veye prizon an.
7 And behold, an agent of the Lord stood near, and light shone in the room. And after striking the side of Peter, he raised him up, saying, Get up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
Yon zanj Bondye rete konsa li parèt, yon limyè klere tout kacho a. Zanj lan manyen Pyè bò kòt, li souke l', li di li: Leve vit. Chenn ki te mare men l' yo tonbe.
8 And the agent said to him, Gird thyself, and tie on thy sandals. And he did so. And he says to him, Throw on thy garment, and follow me.
Zanj lan di li: Mete sentiwon ou, mare sapat ou. Pyè fè tou sa. Zanj lan di l' ankò: Mete gwo rad ou sou ou, swiv mwen.
9 And after going out, he followed him. And he had not seen that the thing happening by the agent was true, but presumed to see a vision.
Pyè swiv zanj lan, li mache soti nan kacho a. Li pa t' kwè sa zanj Bondye a t'ap fè a se te vre. Li te kwè se reve l' t'ap reve.
10 And when they passed a first and a second watch, they came to the iron gate, the one leading to the city, which opened spontaneously to them. And after going out, they advanced one street. And straightaway the agent withdrew from him.
Yo pase premye pòs gad la, yo pase dezyèm pòs la, yo rive bò pòtay an fè ki bay sou lavil la. Pòtay la louvri pou kont li devan yo. Yo soti, yo pran lari. Menm lè a, zanj lan kite Pyè.
11 And when Peter came to himself, he said, Now I know truly, that the Lord dispatched his agent and delivered me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Se lè sa a Pyè vin konprann sak te rive li a. Li di: Koulye a, mwen wè se tout bon. Bondye voye zanj li delivre m' anba men Ewòd. Li sove m' anba tout bagay pèp jwif la t'ap pare pou mwen an.
12 And having realized it, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, surnamed Mark, where a considerable were gathered and praying.
Lè l' vin konprann sitiyasyon an, li ale dwat kay Mari, manman Jan, ki te gen yon ti non Mak. Te gen anpil moun sanble la, yo t'ap lapriyè.
13 And when Peter knocked the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to hearken.
Pyè frape nan pòt devan an. Yon sèvant yo rele Wòd vin reponn.
14 And after recognizing Peter's voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but having ran in, she reported Peter was standing in front of the gate.
Li rekonèt vwa Pyè. Li te sitèlman kontan, li pa louvri pòt la, li kouri antre al di moun yo: Men Pyè deyò a wi.
15 And they said to her, Thou are mad. But she insisted to have it so. But they said, It is his agent.
Yo di li: Gen lè ou pèdi tèt ou? Men, li te kenbe sa l' te di a se vre. Lè sa a, yo di li: Se dwe bonnanj li.
16 But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
Men, Pyè t'ap frape pi rèd toujou. Lè yo louvri pòt la, yo wè l', yo pa t' manke sezi.
17 But after motioning to them with the hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison. And he said, Report these things to James, and to the brothers. And having departed, he went to a different place.
Li fè yo siy ak men l' pou yo pa pale, epi l' rakonte yo ki jan Bondye te fè l' soti nan prizon an. Li di yo ankò. Al di Jak sa pou mwen ansanm ak lòt frè yo. Epi l' soti, li al yon lòt kote.
18 But having become day, there was no small stir among the soldiers what then became of Peter.
Lè l' fè jou, gad yo te nan yon pakèt tèt chaje. Yo t'ap mande kote Pyè pase.
19 And Herod, who sought for him, and not having found, having examined the guards, he commanded them to be led away. And going down from Judea to Caesarea, he remained there.
Ewòd fè chache l' toupatou, men yo pa jwenn li. Li fè keksyonnen gad yo. Lèfini, li bay lòd touye yo. Apre sa, Ewòd kite peyi Jide, li al lavil Sezare kote li pase kèk tan.
20 Now Herod was angry at the Tyrians and Sidonians. But they came with one accord to him, and, having persuaded Blastus the man over the king's bedchamber, they requested peace, because their country was sustained from the monarchy.
Ewòd te fache anpil sou moun lavil Tir ak moun lavil Sidon yo. Sa moun sa yo fè, yo mete ansanm pou yo vin kote li. Yo pran tèt Blastis, yon ofisye ki t'ap travay lakay wa a. Epi y' al mande Ewòd pou l' fè lapè ak yo, paske se nan peyi Ewòd la moun lakay yo te konn ale fè pwovizyon.
21 And at a set day Herod, having arrayed himself in royal apparel, and having sat on the tribunal, he made an oration to them.
Lè jou yo te fikse a rive, Ewòd abiye l' ak tout kostim wa li sou li, li chita sou gwo fotèy li a, epi l' fè yon diskou ba yo.
22 And the populace shouted, The voice of a god, and not of a man.
Pèp la pran rele: Se pa yon moun k'ap pale la a, se yon bondye.
23 And immediately an agent of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And after becoming worm-eaten, he expired.
Menm lè a, yon zanj Bondye frape Ewòd, paske li te asepte resevwa lwanj ki fèt pou Bondye sèlman. Vè tonbe sou li, epi li mouri.
24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Pawòl Bondye a menm t'ap gaye plis toujou, li t'ap fè anpil avans.
25 And Barnabas and Saul turned back in Jerusalem after fulfilling the service, also having taken along John who was surnamed Mark.
Lè Banabas ak Sòl fin fè misyon yo lavil Jerizalèm, yo tounen lakay yo, yo pran Jan ki te gen ti non Mak la ak yo.
