Travay 12
1 Alò, vè lè sila a, Wa Hérode te mete men l sou kèk moun ki te apatyen a legliz la pou l maltrete yo.
Now about that time, Herod the king stretched out his hands to oppress some of the church.
2 Li te mete Jacques, frè a Jean a lanmò avèk yon nepe.
He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 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.
When he saw that it pleased the Jewish people, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
4 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.
When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5 Yo te kenbe Pierre nan prizon an, men legliz Bondye a t ap priye fò pou li.
Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the church to God for him.
6 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.
The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
7 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.
And look, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly." His chains fell off from his hands.
8 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.”
The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak, and follow me."
9 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.
And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
10 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.
When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 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.”
When Peter had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
12 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.
Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13 Lè l te frape nan pòtay la, yon sèvant kay la ki te rele Rhode te vin reponn.
And when Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 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.
When she recognized Peter's voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.
15 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”.
They said to her, "You are crazy." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."
16 Men Pierre te kontinye frape sou pòtay la. Lè yo te louvri pòt la, yo te wè li. Yo te etone.
But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
17 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.
But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell these things to James, and to the brothers." Then he departed, and went to another place.
18 Lè jounen an te rive, se pa ti kras tenten ki te genyen pami sòlda yo sou sa ki te rive Pierre a.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.
19 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.
When Herod had sought for him, and did not find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.
20 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.
Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
21 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.
On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, and sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
22 Konsa, pèp la t ap kriye: “Se vwa a yon dye, pa a yon moun!”
But the crowd shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man."
23 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.
Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 Men pawòl Senyè a te kontinye grandi e te vin miltipliye.
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 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.
Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John whose surname was Mark.
