Acts 12
1 Nowe about that time, Herod the King stretched forth his hands to vexe certaine of the Church,
Alò, vè lè sila a, Wa Hérode te mete men l sou kèk moun ki te apatyen a legliz la pou l maltrete yo.
2 And he killed Iames the brother of Iohn with the sword.
Li te mete Jacques, frè a Jean a lanmò avèk yon nepe.
3 And when he sawe that it pleased the Iewes, he proceeded further, to take Peter also (then were the dayes of vnleauened bread.)
Lè l te wè ke sa te fè Jwif yo kontan, li te avanse pou l arete Pierre tou. Sa se te pandan jou Pen San Ledven yo.
4 And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and deliuered him to foure quaternions of souldiers to be kept, intending after the Passeouer to bring him foorth to the people.
Lè l te sezi li, li te mete l nan prizon, e te livre li a kat ekip sòlda pou yo te veye l, avèk entansyon apre Pak la, pou mennen l devan pèp la.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer was made of ye Church vnto God for him.
Yo te kenbe Pierre nan prizon an, men legliz Bondye a t ap priye fò pou li.
6 And when Herod woulde haue brought him out vnto the people, the same night slept Peter betweene two souldiers, bound with two chaines, and the keepers before the doore, kept the prison.
Nan menm nwit lan lè Hérode te prèt pou mennen l devan l, Pierre t ap dòmi antre de sòlda. Li te byen anchene avèk de chenn, e jandam yo devan pòt la t ap veye prizon an.
7 And behold the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and a light shined in the house, and he smote Peter on the side, and raysed him vp, saying, Arise quickely. And his chaines fell off from his handes.
Epi vwala yon zanj Senyè a te parèt sibitman, e yon limyè te briye nan kacho a. Li te frape bò kote Pierre. Li fè l leve, e te di l: “Leve vit!” Konsa, chenn yo te tonbe kite men l.
8 And the Angel saide vnto him, Girde thy selfe, and binde on thy sandales. And so he did. Then he said vnto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
Zanj lan te di l: “Mare senti ou e mete sapat ou”. Li te fè sa, epi li te di li: “Vlope ou ak manto a e swiv mwen.”
9 So Peter came out and followed him, and knewe not that it was true, which was done by the Angel, but thought he had seene a vision.
Konsa, li te ale deyò e te kontinye swiv li. Li pa t fin konnen si sa ki t ap fèt pa zanj lan te vrè, men te sipoze ke se te yon vizyon ke li t ap fè.
10 Nowe when they were past the first and the second watch, they came vnto the yron gate, that leadeth vnto the citie, which opened to them by it owne accord, and they went out, and passed through one streete, and by and by the Angel departed from him.
Lè yo te fin pase premye ak dezyèm gad yo, yo te rive a yon pòtay an fè ki te mennen nan lantre vil la. Li te ouvri pou yo pou kont li. Yo te pase ale deyò, e te desann nan yon ri. Imedyatman zanj lan te kite li.
11 And when Peter was come to himselfe, he said, Nowe I know for a trueth, that the Lord hath sent his Angel, and hath deliuered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the wayting for of the people of the Iewes.
Lè Pierre te vin reflechi klè, li te di: “Koulye a mwen konnen san dout ke Senyè a te voye zanj Li pou te delivre m nan men Hérode, ak tout sa ke pèp Jwif la t ap atann.”
12 And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Marie, the mother of Iohn, whose surname was Marke, where many were gathered together, and prayed.
Lè li te fin konprann sa, li te ale lakay Marie, manman a Jean ki osi te rele Marc. La, anpil moun te reyini ansanm e t ap priye.
13 And when Peter knocked at the entrie doore, a maide came foorth to hearken, named Rhode,
Lè l te frape nan pòtay la, yon sèvant kay la ki te rele Rhode te vin reponn.
14 But when she knew Peters voyce, she opened not the entrie doore for gladnesse, but ranne in, and tolde howe Peter stood before the entrie.
Lè l te rekonèt vwa Pierre a akoz kè kontan li, li pa t ouvri pòt la, men te kouri anndan, e te anonse ke Pierre te kanpe devan pòtay la.
15 But they said vnto her, Thou art mad. Yet she affirmed it constantly, that it was so. Then said they, It is his Angel.
Yo te di li: “Ou fin pèdi tèt ou!” Men li te kontinye ensiste ke se te konsa. Yo t ap di: “Se zanj li”.
16 But Peter continued knocking, and when they had opened it, and sawe him, they were astonied.
Men Pierre te kontinye frape sou pòtay la. Lè yo te louvri pòt la, yo te wè li. Yo te etone.
17 And he beckened vnto them with the hand, to hold their peace, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he saide, Goe shewe these things vnto Iames and to the brethren: and he departed and went into an other place.
Men li te fè yon sinyal avèk men l, pou yo fè silans, e te eksplike yo jan Senyè a te mennen li sòti nan prizon an. Li te di: “Fè Jacques ak frè yo konnen bagay sa yo.” Konsa, li te pati e te ale yon lòt kote.
18 Nowe assoone as it was day, there was no small trouble among the souldiers, what was become of Peter.
Lè jounen an te rive, se pa ti kras tenten ki te genyen pami sòlda yo sou sa ki te rive Pierre a.
19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded them to be led to be punished. And he went downe from Iudea to Cesarea, and there abode.
Lè Hérode te chache li e li pa t twouve l, li te egzamine gad yo e te kòmande pou yo te egzekite. Li te desann, soti Judée pou ale Césarée e t ap pase tan an la.
20 Then Herod was angrie with them of Tyrus and Sidon, but they came all with one accord vnto him, and perswaded Blastus the Kings Chamberlaine, and they desired peace, because their countrey was nourished by the Kings land.
Alò, Hérode te byen fache avèk moun Tyr ak Sidon yo. Men yo te vin kote l ansanm lè yo te fin fè zanmi avèk Blaste, asistan pèsonèl a wa a, yo t ap fè demann lapè, akoz ke peyi pa yo te resevwa, manje nan men a peyi wa a.
21 And vpon a day appointed, Herod arayed himselfe in royall apparell, and sate on the iudgement seate, and made an oration vnto them.
Nan jou apwente a, Hérode te mete sou li tout rad wayal yo. Li te pran chèz li sou twòn nan, e te kòmanse livre yon diskou piblik a yo menm.
22 And the people gaue a shoute, saying, The voyce of God, and not of man.
Konsa, pèp la t ap kriye: “Se vwa a yon dye, pa a yon moun!”
23 But immediatly the Angel of the Lord smote him, because he gaue not glorie vnto God, so that he was eaten of wormes, and gaue vp the ghost.
Imedyatman yon zanj Senyè a te frape l paske li pa t bay Bondye glwa. Konsa li te vin manje pa vè, e te mouri.
24 And the worde of God grewe, and multiplied.
Men pawòl Senyè a te kontinye grandi e te vin miltipliye.
25 So Barnabas and Saul returned from Hierusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and tooke with them Iohn, whose surname was Marke.
Barnabas ak Saul te retounen Jérusalem lè yo te fin akonpli misyon pa yo a. Yo te pran Jean avèk yo ki te osi rele Marc.
