Acts 12
1 At that [very] now time put forth Herod the king the hands to mistreat some of those of the church.
Vers le même temps, le roi Hérode se mit à maltraiter quelques membres de l’Église,
2 He executed then James the brother of John with the sword.
et il fit mourir par l’épée Jacques, frère de Jean.
3 (and *k*) Having seen (now *no*) that pleasing it is to the Jews, he proceeded to take also Peter — these were now (the *no*) days of the Unleavened [Bread] —
Voyant que cela était agréable aux Juifs, il fit encore arrêter Pierre. C’était pendant les jours des pains sans levain.
4 whom also having seized he put in prison having delivered [him] to four sets of four soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring out him to the people.
Après l’avoir saisi et jeté en prison, il le mit sous la garde de quatre escouades de quatre soldats chacune, avec l’intention de le faire comparaître devant le peuple après la Pâque.
5 Indeed therefore Peter was kept in the prison; prayer however was (fervently *N(k)O*) being made by the church to God (concerning *N(k)O*) him.
Pierre donc était gardé dans la prison; et l’Église ne cessait d’adresser pour lui des prières à Dieu.
6 When then was about (to bring forth *N(k)(o)*) him Herod, in the night that [one] was Peter sleeping between two soldiers bound with chains two, guards also before the door were watching the prison.
La nuit qui précéda le jour où Hérode allait le faire comparaître, Pierre, lié de deux chaînes, dormait entre deux soldats; et des sentinelles devant la porte gardaient la prison.
7 And behold an angel of [the] Lord stood by and a light shone in the cell; Having struck then the side of Peter he woke up him saying; do rise up with speed. And fell of him the chains off the hands.
Et voici, un ange du Seigneur survint, et une lumière brilla dans la prison. L’ange réveilla Pierre, en le frappant au côté, et en disant: Lève-toi promptement! Les chaînes tombèrent de ses mains.
8 Said (then *N(k)O*) the angel to him; (do dress yourself *N(K)O*) and do yourself put on the sandals of you. He did and so. And he says to him; do yourself wrap around the cloak of you and do follow me.
Et l’ange lui dit: Mets ta ceinture et tes sandales. Et il fit ainsi. L’ange lui dit encore: Enveloppe-toi de ton manteau, et suis-moi.
9 And having gone forth he was following (him; *k*) and not did know that real is what is happening through the angel, he was thinking however a vision to see.
Pierre sortit, et le suivit, ne sachant pas que ce qui se faisait par l’ange fût réel, et s’imaginant avoir une vision.
10 Having passed through then a first guard and a second they came to the gate iron which is leading into the city, which by itself (opened *N(k)O*) to them, And having gone out they went on through street one and immediately departed the angel from him.
Lorsqu’ils eurent passé la première garde, puis la seconde, ils arrivèrent à la porte de fer qui mène à la ville, et qui s’ouvrit d’elle-même devant eux; ils sortirent, et s’avancèrent dans une rue. Aussitôt l’ange quitta Pierre.
11 And Peter to himself having come said; Now I know truly that has sent forth (the *no*) Lord the angel of Him and delivered me out of [the] hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Revenu à lui-même, Pierre dit: Je vois maintenant d’une manière certaine que le Seigneur a envoyé son ange, et qu’il m’a délivré de la main d’Hérode et de tout ce que le peuple juif attendait.
12 Having considered [it] also he came to the house (*no*) of Mary the mother of John who is called Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.
Après avoir réfléchi, il se dirigea vers la maison de Marie, mère de Jean, surnommé Marc, où beaucoup de personnes étaient réunies et priaient.
13 When was knocking then (*k*) (he *N(K)O*) [at] the door of the gate came a girl to answer named Rhoda;
Il frappa à la porte du vestibule, et une servante, nommée Rhode, s’approcha pour écouter.
14 And having recognized the voice of Peter from joy not she opened the gate having run in but she reported to have been standing Peter before the gate.
Elle reconnut la voix de Pierre; et, dans sa joie, au lieu d’ouvrir, elle courut annoncer que Pierre était devant la porte.
15 And to her they said; You rave. But she was insisting [it] so to be. And they were saying; The angel it is of him.
Ils lui dirent: Tu es folle. Mais elle affirma que la chose était ainsi.
16 But Peter was continuing knocking; having opened [it] then they saw him and were amazed.
Et ils dirent: C’est son ange. Cependant Pierre continuait à frapper. Ils ouvrirent, et furent étonnés de le voir.
17 Having made a sign then to them with the hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord him had brought out of the prison; He said (then; *N(k)O*) do report to James and to the brothers these things. And having gone out he went to another place.
Pierre, leur ayant de la main fait signe de se taire, leur raconta comment le Seigneur l’avait tiré de la prison, et il dit: Annoncez-le à Jacques et aux frères. Puis il sortit, et s’en alla dans un autre lieu.
18 When was coming now day there was disturbance no small among the soldiers what then [of] Peter has become.
Quand il fit jour, les soldats furent dans une grande agitation, pour savoir ce que Pierre était devenu.
19 Herod then having sought after him and not having found [him] having examined the guards he commanded [them] to be led away [to death], And having gone down from Judea to (*k*) Caesarea he was staying [there].
Hérode, s’étant mis à sa recherche et ne l’ayant pas trouvé, interrogea les gardes, et donna l’ordre de les mener au supplice. Ensuite il descendit de la Judée à Césarée, pour y séjourner.
20 He was now (*k*) (Herod *K*) furiously angry with [the] Tyrians and Sidonians; with one accord then they were coming to him And having gained Blastus who [was] over the bedchamber of the king they were seeking peace, because of being nourished their region by the king’s.
Hérode avait des dispositions hostiles à l’égard des Tyriens et des Sidoniens. Mais ils vinrent le trouver d’un commun accord; et, après avoir gagné Blaste, son chambellan, ils sollicitèrent la paix, parce que leur pays tirait sa subsistance de celui du roi.
21 On the appointed now day Herod having put on apparel royal and having sat on the throne was making an address to them.
A un jour fixé, Hérode, revêtu de ses habits royaux, et assis sur son trône, les harangua publiquement.
22 And the people were crying out; Of a god [this is the] voice and not of a man!
Le peuple s’écria: Voix d’un dieu, et non d’un homme!
23 Immediately then struck him an angel of [the] Lord in return for that not he gave the glory to God, and having been eaten by worms he breathed his last.
Au même instant, un ange du Seigneur le frappa, parce qu’il n’avait pas donné gloire à Dieu. Et il expira, rongé des vers.
24 But the word (of God *NK(O)*) was continuing to grow and was being multiplied.
Cependant la parole de Dieu se répandait de plus en plus, et le nombre des disciples augmentait.
25 Barnabas then and Saul returned (to *N(K)O*) Jerusalem having fulfilled the mission, having taken with [them] (and *k*) John the [one] having been called Mark.
Barnabas et Saul, après s’être acquittés de leur message, s’en retournèrent de Jérusalem, emmenant avec eux Jean, surnommé Marc.
