Acts 12
1 Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain 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 James the brother of John with the sword.
Li te mete Jacques, frè a Jean a lanmò avèk yon nepe.
3 And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. And [those] were the days of unleavened 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 taken him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending after the Passover to bring him forth 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 Peter therefore was kept in the prison: but prayer was made earnestly of the church unto God for him.
Yo te kenbe Pierre nan prizon an, men legliz Bondye a t ap priye fò pou li.
6 And when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and guards before the door 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, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shined in the cell: and he smote Peter on the side, and awoke him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
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 said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he saith unto 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 And he went out, and followed; and he wist not that it was true which was done by the angel, but thought he saw 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 And when they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and straightway 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 himself, he said, Now I know of a truth, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
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 when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house of Mary the mother of John whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together and were praying.
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 he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid came to answer, named Rhoda.
Lè l te frape nan pòtay la, yon sèvant kay la ki te rele Rhode te vin reponn.
14 And when she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but ran in, and told that Peter stood before the gate.
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 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she confidently affirmed that it was even so. And they said, 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, they saw him, and were amazed.
Men Pierre te kontinye frape sou pòtay la. Lè yo te louvri pòt la, yo te wè li. Yo te etone.
17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him forth out of the prison. And he said, Tell these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another 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 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, 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 guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and tarried there.
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 Now he was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: and they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, they asked for peace, because their country was fed from the king’s country.
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 upon a set day Herod arrayed himself in royal apparel, and sat on the throne, and made an oration unto 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 shouted, [saying], The voice of a god, and not of a man.
Konsa, pèp la t ap kriye: “Se vwa a yon dye, pa a yon moun!”
23 And immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up 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 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Men pawòl Senyè a te kontinye grandi e te vin miltipliye.
25 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministration, taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
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.
