| 1 | And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. | Paul, les regards fixés sur le Sanhédrin, dit : "Frères, je me suis conduit devant Dieu jusqu'à ce jour en toute bonne conscience." | And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day. |
| 2 | And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. | Mais le grand prêtre Ananie ordonna à ses assistants de le frapper sur la bouche. Alors Paul lui dit : | And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. |
| 3 | Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? | "Dieu te frappera, muraille blanchie ! Même toi qui sièges pour me juger selon la Loi, au mépris de la Loi, tu ordonnes qu'on me frappe ! " | Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: and sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? |
| 4 | And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? | Les assistants dirent : "Tu injuries le grand prêtre de Dieu ! " | And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God`s high priest? |
| 5 | Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. | Paul dit : "Je ne savais pas, frères, qu'il fût grand prêtre; car il est écrit : Tu ne parleras pas mal du chef de ton peuple." | And Paul said, I knew not, brethren, that he was high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people. |
| 6 | But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. | Or Paul, sachant qu'une partie (de l'assemblée) était (composée) de Sadducéens et l'autre de Pharisiens, s'écria dans le Sanhédrin : "Frères, je suis Pharisien, fils de Pharisiens; c'est à cause de l'espérance en la résurrection des morts que je suis mis en jugement." | But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees: touching the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. |
| 7 | And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. | Quand il eut prononcé ces paroles, il s'éleva une discussion entre les Pharisiens et les Sadducéens, et l'assemblée se divisa. | And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees; and the assembly was divided. |
| 8 | For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. | Car les Sadducéens disent qu'il n'y a point de résurrection, ni d'ange ni d'esprit, tandis que les Pharisiens affirment l'un et l'autre. | For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess both. |
| 9 | And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. | Il y eut donc une grande clameur, et quelques scribes du parti des Pharisiens, s'étant levés, discutaient fortement, disant : "Nous ne trouvons rien de mal en cet homme; si un esprit ou un ange lui a parlé ?… " | And there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel? |
| 10 | And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle. | Comme la discussion allait croissant, le tribun, craignant que Paul ne fût mis en pièces par eux, ordonna à la troupe de descendre pour l'enlever du milieu d'eux et de le ramener à la forteresse. | And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle. |
| 11 | And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. | La nuit suivante, le Seigneur se présenta à lui et dit : "Courage ! Car de même que tu as rendu témoignage à Jérusalem sur ce qui me concerne, il faut aussi que tu rendes témoignage à Rome." | And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer: for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. |
| 12 | And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. | Quand le jour fut venu, les Juifs tinrent une réunion et jurèrent avec anathème contre eux-mêmes de ne manger ni boire jusqu'à ce qu'ils eussent tué Paul. | And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. |
| 13 | And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. | Ils étaient plus de quarante qui avaient fait cette conjuration. | And they were more than forty that made this conspiracy. |
| 14 | And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. | Ils allèrent trouver les grands prêtres et les Anciens, et ils dirent : "Nous avons juré avec anathème contre nous-mêmes de ne prendre aucune nourriture que nous n'ayons tué Paul. | And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul. |
| 15 | Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. | Vous donc, maintenant, signifiez au tribun, avec le Sanhédrin, qu'il l'amène devant vous, comme si vous vouliez examiner plus à fond son affaire, et nous, nous sommes prêts à le tuer avant qu'il approche." | Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to slay him. |
| 16 | And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. | Or le fils de la soeur de Paul, ayant eu connaissance du guet-apens, se rendit à la forteresse et entra pour en donner communication à Paul. | But Paul`s sister`s son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the castle and told Paul. |
| 17 | Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him. | Paul, ayant appelé un des centurions, (lui) dit : "Mène ce jeune homme au tribun, car il a quelque chose à lui communiquer." | And Paul called unto him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him. |
| 18 | So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee. | Lui, prenant le jeune homme, le mena au tribun et dit : "Le prisonnier Paul, m'ayant appelé, m'a prié de t'amener ce jeune homme, qui a quelque chose à te dire." | So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and saith, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and asked me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say to thee. |
| 19 | Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? | Le tribun le prit par la main et, l'ayant tiré à part, il lui demanda : Qu'as-tu à me communiquer ? | And the chief captain took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is it that thou hast to tell me? |
| 20 | And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly. | Il dit : "Les Juifs sont convenus de te prier de faire conduire Paul demain au Sanhédrin, sous prétexte de t'informer plus à fond sur lui. | And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow unto the council, as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him. |
| 21 | But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee. | Toi donc, ne les écoute pas, car plus de quarante d'entre eux lui préparent un guet-apens et ont juré avec anathème contre eux-mêmes de ne manger ni boire qu'ils ne l'aient tué. Maintenant ils sont prêts, dans l'attente de ta promesse." | Do not thou therefore yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him: and now are they ready, looking for the promise from thee. |
| 22 | So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me. | Le tribun renvoya le jeune homme, après lui avoir commandé de ne dire à personne qu'il lui avait révélé cela. | So the chief captain let the young man go, charging him, Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me. |
| 23 | And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; | Et ayant appelé deux des centurions, il dit : "Tenez prêts, dès la troisième heure de la nuit, deux cents soldats ainsi que soixante-dix cavaliers et deux cents lanciers, pour aller jusqu'à Césarée. | And he called unto him two of the centurions, and said, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night: |
| 24 | And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. | Que des montures soient là pour faire monter Paul et le conduire sain et sauf au procurateur Félix." | and [he bade them] provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. |
| 25 | And he wrote a letter after this manner: | Il écrivit une lettre en ces termes : | And he wrote a letter after this form: |
| 26 | Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting. | "Claude Lysias, au très excellent procurateur Félix, salut ! | Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix, greeting. |
| 27 | This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. | Les Juifs s'étaient saisis de cet homme et allaient le tuer, lorsque je survins avec la troupe et l'arrachai de leurs mains, ayant apprit qu'il était Romain. | This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman. |
| 28 | And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: | Voulant savoir pour quel motif ils l'accusaient, je l'ai amené devant leur Sanhédrin. | And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council: |
| 29 | Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. | J'ai trouvé qu'il était accusé pour des questions relatives à leur loi, mais qu'il n'avait aucune charge qui méritât la mort ou les chaînes. | whom I found to be accused about questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. |
| 30 | And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell. | Informé qu'il y avait un complot contre cet homme, je te l'ai aussitôt envoyé, faisant savoir aussi aux accusateurs de dire devant toi ce (qu'ils ont) contre lui. Porte-toi bien." | And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee. |
| 31 | Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. | Les soldats donc ayant pris Paul, selon l'ordre qu'ils avaient reçu, le conduisirent pendant la nuit à Antipatris. | So the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris. |

| 35 | I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come.
