| 1 | And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band. | Après qu'il eut été résolu que nous nous embarquerions pour l'Italie, on confia Paul et quelques autres prisonniers à un centenier nommé Julius, de la cohorte appelée Auguste; | And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band. |
| 2 | And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. | Et étant montés sur un vaisseau d'Adramytte, nous partirent, devant toucher aux lieux du littoral de l'Asie, ayant avec nous Aristarque, Macédonien de Thessalonique. | And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. |
| 3 | And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself. | Le jour suivant, nous abordèrent à Sidon; et Julius, traitant Paul avec humanité, lui permit d'aller chez ses amis, pour recevoir leurs soins. | And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself. |
| 4 | And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. | Puis étant partis de là, nous naviguèrent en dessous de l'île de Cypre, parce que les vents étaient contraires. | And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. |
| 5 | And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. | Et après avoir traversé la mer de Cilicie et de Pamphylie, nous abordèrent à Myrrha en Lycie, | And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia. |
| 6 | And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein. | Et le centenier y ayant trouvé un vaisseau d'Alexandrie, qui allait en Italie, nous y fit monter. | And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein. |
| 7 | And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone; | Et comme pendant plusieurs jours nous avancions fort peu, et que nous n'étions arrivés qu'avec peine vis-à-vis de Gnide, parce que le vent ne nous permettait pas d'avancer, nous naviguèrent en dessous de la Crète, vers Salmone; | And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone; |
| 8 | And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. | Et la côtoyant avec difficulté, nous vinrent dans un lieu appelé Beaux-Ports, près duquel est la ville de Lasée. | and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea. |
| 9 | Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, | Comme il s'était écoulé beaucoup de temps, et que la navigation devenait dangereuse, puisque le temps du jeûne était déjà passé, Paul les avertit, | And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them, |
| 10 | And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. | Et dit: Je vois que la navigation sera accompagnée de périls et de grand dommage, non seulement pour le vaisseau et pour sa charge, mais encore pour nos personnes. | and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives. |
| 11 | Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul. | Mais le centenier ajoutait plus de foi au pilote et au maître du vaisseau, qu'à ce que Paul disait. | But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul. |
| 12 | And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west. | Et comme le port n'était pas propre pour hiverner, la plupart furent d'avis de partir de là, pour tâcher de gagner Phoenice, port de Crète, qui regarde le vent d'Afrique et le nord-ouest, afin d'y passer l'hiver. | And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there; which is] a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east. |
| 13 | And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete. | Et le vent du midi ayant soufflé doucement, ils se crurent maîtres de leur dessein, et levant l'ancre, ils côtoyèrent de près la Crète. | And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore. |
| 14 | But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon. | Mais peu après, un vent violent, qu'on appelle Euroclydon, se déchaîna contre le rivage. | But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo: |
| 15 | And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive. | Le vaisseau fut entraîné, et ne pouvant résister au vent, nous nous laissèrent emporter; | and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it,] and were driven. |
| 16 | And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat: | Et quand nous sommes passé en dessous d'une petite île, appelée Clauda, nous eurent de la peine à être maîtres de la chaloupe. | And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat: |
| 17 | Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. | L'ayant retirée, les matelots firent usage de secours, en liant le vaisseau avec des câbles; et craignant d'échouer sur la Syrte ils abaissèrent le mât; et ils étaient emportés ainsi. | and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven. |
| 18 | And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship; | Comme nous étions fortement battus de la tempête, le jour suivant ils jetèrent la cargaison dans la mer. | And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the [the freight] overboard; |
| 19 | And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. | Et le troisième jour, nous jetèrent de nos propres mains les agrès du vaisseau. | and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship. |
| 20 | And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away. | Et comme pendant plusieurs jours, ni le soleil, ni les étoiles ne parurent, et que nous étions en butte à une forte tempête, nous perdirent tout espoir d'être rescapé. | And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us,] all hope that we should be saved was now taken away. |
| 21 | But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. | Or il y avait longtemps qu'on n'avait mangé. Alors Paul se levant au milieu d'eux, leur dit: O hommes, il fallait donc me croire, et ne pas partir de Crète, pour éviter cette détresse et ce désastre. | And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss. |
| 22 | And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. | Je vous exhorte maintenant à prendre courage, car aucun de vous ne perdra la vie, le vaisseau seul périra. | And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship. |
| 23 | For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, | Car un ange du Dieu, à qui je suis et que je sers, m'est apparu cette nuit, et m'a dit: | For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve, |
| 24 | Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee. | Paul, ne crains point; il faut que tu comparaisses devant César; et voici, Dieu t'a donné tous ceux qui naviguent avec toi. | saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee. |
| 25 | Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. | C'est pourquoi, ô hommes, prenez courage; car j'ai cette confiance en Dieu, qu'il en arrivera comme il m'a été dit; | Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me. |
| 26 | Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island. | Mais il faut que nous échouions sur quelque île. | But we must be cast upon a certain island. |
| 27 | But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country; | Comme la quatorzième nuit était venue, et que nous étions portés çà et là dans l'Adriatique, les matelots, vers minuit, estimèrent qu'ils approchaient de quelque terre. | But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country: |
| 28 | And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms. | Et ayant jeté la sonde, ils trouvèrent vingt brasses. A quelque distance de là, ayant jeté la sonde de nouveau, ils trouvèrent quinze brasses. | and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms. |
| 29 | Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. | Et craignant d'échouer contre des écueils, ils jetèrent quatre ancres de la poupe, et ils désiraient que le jour arrive. | And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day. |
| 30 | And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, | Et comme les matelots cherchaient à se sauver du vaisseau, et qu'ils avaient descendu la chaloupe à la mer, sous prétexte de jeter les ancres de la proue, | And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship, |
| 31 | Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. | Paul dit au centenier et aux soldats: S'ils ne demeurent dans le vaisseau, vous ne pouvez être sauvés. | Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. |
| 32 | Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. | Alors les soldats coupèrent les cordes de la chaloupe, et la laissèrent tomber. | Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. |
| 33 | And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. | Et en attendant que le jour vînt, Paul les exhorta tous à prendre de la nourriture, en disant: C'est aujourd'hui le quatorzième jour que, en attendant, vous êtes sans manger, et vous n'avez rien pris. | And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing. |
| 34 | Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. | Je vous exhorte donc à prendre de la nourriture, car cela importe à votre conservation; et il ne tombera pas un cheveu de la tête d'aucun de vous. | Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you. |
| 35 | And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. | Ayant dit cela, il prit du pain, et rendit grâces à Dieu en présence de tous; et l'ayant rompu, il se mit à manger. | And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat. |
| 36 | Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. | Tous alors, ayant pris courage, mangèrent aussi. | Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food. |
| 37 | And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. | Or, nous étions en tout, dans le vaisseau, deux cent soixante-seize personnes. | And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. |
| 38 | And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. | Et quand ils eurent mangé suffisamment, ils allégèrent le vaisseau en jetant le blé à la mer. | And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea. |
| 39 | And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. | Et le jour étant venu, ils ne reconnaissaient point la terre; mais ayant aperçu un golfe qui avait une plage, ils résolurent d'y faire échouer le vaisseau, s'ils le pouvaient. | And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it. |
| 40 | And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. | Ayant donc coupé les ancres, ils les laissèrent dans la mer, lâchant en même temps les attaches des gouvernails; et ayant mis au vent la voile de l'artimon, ils se dirigeaient vers le rivage. | And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. |
| 41 | And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves. | Et rencontrant un endroit qui avait la mer des deux côtés, le vaisseau y échoua, et la proue engagée avec force, demeurait immobile, mais la poupe se rompait par la violence des vagues. | But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves]. |
| 42 | And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. | Alors les soldats furent d'avis de tuer les prisonniers, de peur que quelqu'un d'eux ne se sauvât à la nage. | And the soldiers` counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape. |
| 43 | But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: | Mais le centenier, voulant sauver Paul, les détourna de ce dessein, et ordonna à tous ceux qui savaient nager de se jeter à l'eau les premiers, et de se sauver à terre; | But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land; |
| 44 | And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land. | Et aux autres de se mettre, les uns sur des planches, les autres sur quelque pièce du vaisseau. Il arriva ainsi que tous se sauvèrent à terre. | and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land. |
