Acts 12 Acts 12

12 1 Eodem autem tempore misit Herodes rex manus, ut affligeret quosdam de ecclesia. 12 1 At the time of King Herod, to afflict some of the church. 1 En même temps, le roi Hérode étendit les mains pour affliger quelques membres de l'Église. 2 Occidit autem Jacobum fratrem Joannis gladio. 2 killed James, brother John. 3 Videns autem quia placeret Judæis, apposuit ut apprehenderet et Petrum. 3 saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter. Erant autem dies Azymorum. We're also. 4 Quem cum apprehendisset, misit in carcerem, tradens quatuor quaternionibus militum custodiendum, volens post Pascha producere eum populo. 4 he had arrested and put into prison, delivering him to four squads of soldiers, intending after Easter to bring it to the people. 5 Et Petrus quidem servabatur in carcere. 5 therefore was kept in prison. Oratio autem fiebat sine intermissione ab ecclesia ad Deum pro eo. Prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.

6 Cum autem producturus eum esset Herodes, in ipsa nocte erat Petrus dormiens inter duos milites, vinctus catenis duabus : et custodes ante ostium custodiebant carcerem. 6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. 7 Et ecce angelus Domini astitit, et lumen refulsit in habitaculo : percussoque latere Petri, excitavit eum, dicens : Surge velociter. 7 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood, and a light shone in the dwelling: and striking Peter's side, he woke him up, saying: Get up quickly. Et ceciderunt catenæ de manibus ejus. And the chains fell from his hands. 8 Dixit autem angelus ad eum : Præcingere, et calcea te caligas tuas. 8 And the angel said to him: Preach, and put on your shoes and your boots. Et fecit sic. Et dixit illi : Circumda tibi vestimentum tuum, et sequere me. 9 Et exiens sequebatur eum, et nesciebat quia verum est, quod fiebat per angelum : existimabat autem se visum videre. 9 And he went out and followed him, and did not know that it was true that it was done by an angel: but he thought that he saw a vision. 10 Transeuntes autem primam et secundam custodiam, venerunt ad portam ferream, quæ ducit ad civitatem : quæ ultro aperta est eis. 10 And having passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate which leads to the city: which was open to them on the other side. Et exeuntes processerunt vicum unum : et continuo discessit angelus ab eo. And going out, they proceeded a certain way: and immediately the angel departed from him.

11 Et Petrus ad se reversus, dixit : Nunc scio vere quia misit Dominus angelum suum, et eripuit me de manu Herodis, et de omni exspectatione plebis Judæorum. 11 And Peter returning to himself, said: Now I truly know that the Lord sent his angel and delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. 12 Consideransque venit ad domum Mariæ matris Joannis, qui cognominatus est Marcus, ubi erant multi congregati, et orantes. 13 Pulsante autem eo ostium januæ, processit puella ad audiendum, nomine Rhode. 14 Et ut cognovit vocem Petri, præ gaudio non aperuit januam, sed intro currens nuntiavit stare Petrum ante januam. 15 At illi dixerunt ad eam : Insanis. Illa autem affirmabat sic se habere. Illi autem dicebant : Angelus ejus est. 16 Petrus autem perseverabat pulsans. Cum autem aperuissent, viderunt eum, et obstupuerunt. 17 Annuens autem eis manu ut tacerent, narravit quomodo Dominus eduxisset eum de carcere, dixitque : Nuntiate Jacobo et fratribus hæc. Et egressus abiit in alium locum.

18 Facta autem die, erat non parva turbatio inter milites, quidnam factum esset de Petro. 19 Herodes autem cum requisisset eum et non invenisset, inquisitione facta de custodibus, jussit eos duci : descendensque a Judæa in Cæsaream, ibi commoratus est. 20 Erat autem iratus Tyriis et Sidoniis. At illi unanimes venerunt ad eum, et persuaso Blasto, qui erat super cubiculum regis, postulabant pacem, eo quod alerentur regiones eorum ab illo. 21 Statuto autem die Herodes vestitus veste regia sedit pro tribunali, et concionabatur ad eos. 21 On the appointed day, Herod, clothed in royal robes, sat before the tribunal and preached to them. 22 Populus autem acclamabat : Dei voces, et non hominis. 22 And the people shouted: The voices of God, and not of man. 23 Confestim autem percussit eum angelus Domini, eo quod non dedisset honorem Deo : et consumptus a vermibus, expiravit. 23 And the angel of the Lord immediately struck him, because he had not given honor to God: and he expired, consumed by worms. 24 Verbum autem Domini crescebat, et multiplicabatur. 25 Barnabas autem et Saulus reversi sunt ab Jerosolymis expleto ministerio assumpto Joanne, qui cognominatus est Marcus. 25 Now Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, after having taken over the ministry of John, who was surnamed Mark.
