Travay 12
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Nan menm epòk sa a, wa Ewòd te pran maltrete kèk manm nan legliz la. 2 Li fè touye Jak, frè Jan an, ak nepe. 3 Lè l' wè sa te fè jwif yo plezi, li fè arete Pyè tou. Se te epòk fèt Pen san ledven an. 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. 5 Pyè te anba gwo siveyans nan prizon an. Men, manm legliz yo t'ap lapriyè Bondye pou li san rete. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 13 Pyè frape nan pòt devan an. Yon sèvant yo rele Wòd vin reponn. 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. 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. 16 Men, Pyè t'ap frape pi rèd toujou. Lè yo louvri pòt la, yo wè l', yo pa t' manke sezi. 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. 18 Lè l' fè jou, gad yo te nan yon pakèt tèt chaje. Yo t'ap mande kote Pyè pase. 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. 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. 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. 22 Pèp la pran rele: Se pa yon moun k'ap pale la a, se yon bondye. 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. 24 Pawòl Bondye a menm t'ap gaye plis toujou, li t'ap fè anpil avans. 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.

Travay 12:1-3
Ac 12:1-19. Persecution of the Church by Herod Agrippa I--Martyrdom of James and Miraculous Deliverance of Peter.
1-3. Herod the king--grandson of Herod the Great, and son of Aristobulus. He at this time ruled over all his father's dominions. Paley has remarked the accuracy of the historian here. For thirty years before this there was no king at Jerusalem exercising supreme authority over Judea, nor was there ever afterwards, save during the three last years of Herod's life, within which the transactions occurred.
Travay 12:4
4. delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers--that is, to four parties of four each, corresponding to the four Roman watches; two watching in prison and two at the gates, and each party being on duty for the space of one watch.
intending after Easter--rather, "after the Passover"; that is, after the whole festival was over. (The word in our King James Version is an ecclesiastical term of later date, and ought not to have been employed here).
to bring him forth to the people--for execution; for during "the days of unleavened bread," or the currency of any religious festival, the Jews had a prejudice against trying or putting anyone to death.
Travay 12:5-6
5-6. prayer was made without ceasing--rather, "instant," "earnest," "urgent" (Margin); as in Lu 22:44; Ac 26:7; and 1Pe 4:8 (see Greek).
of the church unto God for him--not in public assembly, for it was evidently not safe to meet thus; but in little groups in private houses, one of which was Mary's (Ac 12:12). And this was kept up during all the days of unleavened bread.
Travay 12:7-11
7-11. the angel of the Lord--rather, "an angel."
came upon him--so in Lu 2:9, expressive of the unexpected nature of the visit.
smote Peter on the side ... Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off ... Gird thyself ... And so he did ... Cast thy garment--tunic, which he had thrown off for the night.
Travay 12:12-17
12-17. he came to the house of Mary, &c.--who "must have had a house of some pretensions to receive a large number; and, accordingly, we read that her brother Barnabas (Col 4:10) was a person of substance (Ac 4:37). She must also have been distinguished for faith and courage to allow such a meeting in the face of persecution" [Webster and Wilkinson]. To such a house it was natural that Peter should come.
mother of John ... Mark--so called to distinguish him from the apostle of that name, and to distinguish her from the other Marys.
where many were gathered together praying--doubtless for Peter's deliverance, and continuing, no doubt, on this the last of the days of unleavened bread, which was their last hope, all night in prayer to God.
Travay 12:18-19
18-19. as soon as it was day, &c.--His deliverance must have been during the fourth watch (three to six A.M.); else he must have been missed by the keepers at the change of the watch [Wies].
Travay 12:20
Ac 12:20-25. Herod's Miserable End--Growing Success of the Gospel--Barnabas and Saul Return to Antioch.
20. Herod was ... displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon--for some reason unknown; but the effect on their commercial relations made the latter glad to sue for peace.
their country was nourished by the king's country--See 1Ki 5:11; Ezr 3:7; Eze 27:17. Perhaps the famine (Ac 11:28) made them the more urgent for reconciliation.
Travay 12:21
21. And upon a set day Herod ... made an oration unto them--to the Tyrians and Sidonians especially.
Travay 12:22-23
22-23. the people gave a shout, &c.--Josephus' account of his death is remarkably similar to this [Antiquities, 19.8.2]. Several cases of such deaths occur in history. Thus was this wretched man nearer his end than he of whom he had thought to make a public spectacle.
Travay 12:24
24. But the word grew, &c.--that is, Not only was the royal representative ignominiously swept from the stage, while his intended victim was spared to the Church, but the cause which he and his Jewish instigators sought to crush was only furthered and glorified. How full of encouragement and consolation is all this to the Christian Church in every age!
Travay 12:25
25. Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem--where, it thus appears, they had remained during all this persecution.
when they had fulfilled their ministry--or service; that mentioned on Ac 11:29, 30.
took with them John ... Mark--(See on Ac 12:12), not to be confounded with the second Evangelist, as is often done. As his uncle was Barnabas, so his spiritual father was Peter (1Pe 5:13).
