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.
And at that time Herod the king, who was surnamed Agrippa, laid hands on some of the church, to maltreat them.
2 Li te mete Jacques, frè a Jean a lanmò avèk yon nepe.
And 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.
And when he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded also to arrest Simon Cephas. And the days of unleavened bread were then passing.
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.
He seized him and cast him into prison, and delivered him to sixteen soldiers, who were to guard him; that he might, after the passover, deliver him up to the people of the Jews.
5 Yo te kenbe Pierre nan prizon an, men legliz Bondye a t ap priye fò pou li.
And while Simon was in custody in the prison, continual prayer to God in his behalf, was offered to God by the church.
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.
And on the night before the morning in which he was to be delivered up, while Simon was sleeping between two soldiers, and was bound with two chains, and others were guarding the doors of 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.
an angel of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in all the building; and he pricked his side, and awaked him, and said to him: Arise, instantly. And the chains fell 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.”
And the angel said to him: Gird thy loins, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And again he said to him: Wrap thyself in thy cloak, and come after 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, not knowing that what had been done by the angel was a reality; for he supposed, that 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.
And when the first ward was passed and the second, they came to the iron gate, and it opened to them of its own accord. And when they had gone out, and had passed one street, 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.”
Then Simon recognized where he was; and he said: Now I know, in reality, that God hath sent his angel, and delivered me from the hand of Herod the king, and from what the Jews were devising against me.
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.
And when he had considered, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John surnamed Mark; because many brethren were assembled there and praying.
13 Lè l te frape nan pòtay la, yon sèvant kay la ki te rele Rhode te vin reponn.
And he knocked at the gate of the court; and a maid named Rhoda came to reply to him.
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.
And she recognized the voice of Simon: and, In her joy, she did not open to him the gate, but ran back, and told them: Lo, Simon is standing at the gate of the court.
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: Thou art delirious. But she maintained that it was a fact. They said to her: Perhaps it is his ghost.
16 Men Pierre te kontinye frape sou pòtay la. Lè yo te louvri pòt la, yo te wè li. Yo te etone.
And Simon was knocking at the gate; and they went out, saw him, and were astonished.
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.
And he beckoned to them with the hand to be still; and he went in, and related to them how the Lord had released him from the prison. And he said to them: Tell these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out, and departed 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.
And when it was morning, there was a great dispute among the soldiers concerning Simon, what had become of him.
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.
And Herod, when he sought him, and could not find him, arraigned the keepers, and sentenced them to die. And he went from Judaea, and resided at Caesarea.
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.
And because he was angry against the Tyrians and Sidonians, they assembled and came to him in a body; and having persuaded Blastus, the king's chamberlain, they begged of him that they might have peace; because the supplies of their country were derived from the kingdom of Herod.
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.
And on a day appointed, Herod was arrayed in royal apparel, and sat on a tribunal, and made a speech to the assembly.
22 Konsa, pèp la t ap kriye: “Se vwa a yon dye, pa a yon moun!”
And all the people shouted, and said: These are the utterances of a God, and not of a mortal.
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.
And, because he gave not the glory to God, immediately the angel of God smote him; and he was eaten of worms, and died.
24 Men pawòl Senyè a te kontinye grandi e te vin miltipliye.
And the gospel of God was proclaimed, and made progress.
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.
And Barnabas and Saul, after they had completed their ministration, returned from Jerusalem to Antioch. And they took with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
