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.
About that time Herod the king exerted his power to distress some of the church.
2 Li te mete Jacques, frè a Jean a lanmò avèk yon nepe.
And he cut off 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 seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to apprehend Peter also, (in 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.
whom he seized and put into prison, delivering him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; intending, after the passover, to bring him out to the people.
5 Yo te kenbe Pierre nan prizon an, men legliz Bondye a t ap priye fò pou li.
Peter was therefore kept in custody: but incessant prayer was made to God for him 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 when Herod was about to bring him forth, that very night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the guards at the door watched 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 behold an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the room; and smiting Peter on the side, he waked him, and said, Rise up quickly. And 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.”
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself and tie on thy sandals: and he did so. And he saith unto him, Throw thy garment round thee, 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.
So he went out and followed him; and he did not know, that what was 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.
And passing through the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate, that leadeth into the city, which of its own accord opened to them: and they went out and passed on through one street; and then 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.”
And Peter being come to himself said, Now I know truly, that the Lord hath sent his angel and hath delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
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 considering with himself, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was sirnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and 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 porch, a servant named Rhoda came to ask who was there.
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 knowing Peter's voice, through excess of joy she did not open the door, but ran in and told them, that Peter was standing at the door.
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”.
And they said to her, Thou art mad: but she confidently affirmed that it was so. Then said they, 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; and when they opened the door, they 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.
But he made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, and related to them, how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, tell these things to James and to the other brethren. And 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 disturbance among the soldiers, what was 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.
And Herod searching for him, and not finding him, brought the keepers to a trial, and ordered them to be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and abode 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.
And Herod was going to make war upon the Tyrians and Sidonians: but they came to him with one consent, and making interest with Blastus the king's chamberlain, they sued for peace; because their territory was supplied with provision by the king's country.
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 upon a set day, Herod arrayed in his royal robes, and sitting upon his throne, made an oration to them.
22 Konsa, pèp la t ap kriye: “Se vwa a yon dye, pa a yon moun!”
And the people gave a shout, saying, It is 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.
but immediately an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and being devoured by worms he died.
24 Men pawòl Senyè a te kontinye grandi e te vin miltipliye.
But the word of God grew and was 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.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their charge, taking along with them John who was sirnamed Mark.
