Travay 12
1 Nan menm epòk sa a, wa Ewòd te pran maltrete kèk manm nan legliz la.
Now about that time, Herod the king laid his hands upon certain of the church, to oppress them.
2 Li fè touye Jak, frè Jan an, ak nepe.
And he slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 Lè l' wè sa te fè jwif yo plezi, li fè arete Pyè tou. Se te epòk fèt Pen san ledven an.
And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also; (then were the days of unleavened bread; )
4 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.
and he seized him and put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.
5 Pyè te anba gwo siveyans nan prizon an. Men, manm legliz yo t'ap lapriyè Bondye pou li san rete.
Peter therefore was kept guarded in prison; but earnest prayer was made by the church to God in his behalf.
6 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.
And when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and keepers before the door were guarding the prison.
7 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.
And lo! an angel of the Lord came to him, and a light shone in the room; and he smote Peter on the side, and roused him, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell from his hands.
8 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.
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals; and he did so. And he saith to him, Throw thy garment round thee, and follow me.
9 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.
And he went out, and followed; and he knew not that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
10 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.
And when they had passed the first, and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which opened to them of itself; and they went out and passed on through one street, and the angel immediately departed from him.
11 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.
And when Peter had come to himself, he said, Now I know certainly, that the Lord hath sent forth his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 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.
And when he understood the matter, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together, and praying.
13 Pyè frape nan pòt devan an. Yon sèvant yo rele Wòd vin reponn.
And as he knocked at the door of the gate, a maid-servant came to listen, named Rhoda;
14 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.
and recognizing Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness; but ran in, and told them that Peter was standing before the gate.
15 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.
And they said to her, Thou art mad. But she positively affirmed that it was even so. Then they said, It is his angel.
16 Men, Pyè t'ap frape pi rèd toujou. Lè yo louvri pòt la, yo wè l', yo pa t' manke sezi.
But Peter continued knocking; and opening the door, they saw him, and were amazed.
17 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.
But beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, he related how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go and tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went to another place.
18 Lè l' fè jou, gad yo te nan yon pakèt tèt chaje. Yo t'ap mande kote Pyè pase.
And when it was day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to what had become of Peter.
19 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.
And Herod, when he had sought for him and found him not, examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be led away [[to execution]]. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and there abode.
20 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.
And he was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, sued for peace; because their country drew its nourishment from that of the king.
21 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.
And on a day appointed, Herod, having arrayed himself in royal apparel, and taken his seat on the throne, made a speech to them.
22 Pèp la pran rele: Se pa yon moun k'ap pale la a, se yon bondye.
And thereupon the people shouted, The voice of a god, and not of a man!
23 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.
But immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory, and he was eaten by worms, and expired.
24 Pawòl Bondye a menm t'ap gaye plis toujou, li t'ap fè anpil avans.
But the word of God grew and was extended.
25 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.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having performed their service, taking with them also John, surnamed Mark.
