Acts 27
1 When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners under the charge of a centurion named Julius of the Imperial Regiment.
Lè yo deside pou fè n' pati nan batiman pou peyi Itali, yo renmèt Pòl ansanm ak kèk lòt prizonye nan men Jiliyis, kòmandan yon batayon lame Wòm lan yo te rele Batayon Seza.
2 We boarded a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail along the coast of Asia. So we went to sea. Aristarchus from Thessalonica in Macedonia went with us.
Nou anbake sou yon batiman ki te soti lavil Adramit ki tapral fè lakòt nan Lazi. Epi nou pati. Aristak, yon moun lavil Tesalonik nan peyi Masedwan, te avèk nou.
3 The next day we landed at the city of Sidon, where Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive their care.
Nan denmen nou rive lavil Sidon. Jiliyis te boule byen ak Pòl, li te ba l' pèmisyon pou li al wè zanmi l' yo pou li al chache sa l' te bezwen.
4 From there we went to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus, close to the island, because the winds were against us.
Apre nou kite Sidon, nou pase sou bò dwat lil Chip, nou lonje kòt la sou anwo, paske van an te kontrè pou nou lòt bò a.
5 Then we had sailed across the sea and were near the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra, a city of Lycia.
Nou travèse lanmè a devan Silisi ak Panfili, nou rive lavil Mira nan Lisi.
6 There, the centurion found a ship from Alexandria that was going to sail to Italy. He put us in it.
Antan nou la, kòmandan an jwenn yon batiman ki te soti lavil Aleksandri tapral an Itali. Li fè nou anbake sou li.
7 When we had sailed slowly for many days and had finally arrived with difficulty near Cnidus, the wind no longer allowed us to go that way, so we sailed along the sheltered side of Crete, opposite Salmone.
Pandan plizyè jou nou vwayaje ti pa ti pa. Se pa ti traka anvan nou te ka rive devan lavil Nid. Van an pa t' ban nou chans pou n' al pi lwen nan k'ap sa a. Nou te blije desann, pase devan k'ap Salmone, vire anba lil Krèt.
8 We sailed along the coast with difficulty, until we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, which is near the city of Lasea.
Nou lonje kòt la avèk anpil traka jouk nou rive yon kote yo rele Bon Pò, toupre lavil Laze.
9 We had now taken much time, the time of the Jewish fast also had passed, and it had now become dangerous to sail. So Paul warned them,
Nou te deja pèdi anpil tan, jou pou jwif yo te fè jèn yo te deja pase. Lè sa a se te gwo danje pou moun vwayaje.
10 and said, “Men, I see that the voyage we are about to take will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
Se poutèt sa Pòl ba yo konsèy sa a: Mesye, mwen wè vwayaj la pral gen gwo danje ladan li: n'ap pèdi chay la ansanm ak batiman an. Ata moun ka mouri tou.
11 But the centurion paid more attention to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things that were spoken by Paul.
Men, kòmandan women an te gen plis konfyans nan pawòl kaptenn lan ak amatè batiman an pase nan pawòl Pòl.
12 Because the harbor was not easy to spend the winter in, most of the sailors advised to sail from there, if by any means we could reach the city of Phoenix, to spend the winter there. Phoenix is a harbor in Crete, and it faces northeast and southeast.
Pò a pa t' bon pou yo te rete pase sezon fredi a tou: se poutèt sa pifò moun ki te abò a te vle pati. Yo t'ap pran chans rive Finiks, yon lòt pò nan lil Krèt la ki bay sou lanmè nan direksyon siwa nòwa. Konsa, yo ta ka pase sezon fredi a la.
13 When the south wind began to blow gently, the sailors thought that they had what they needed. So they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.
Lè yo wè yon ti van swèt leve, yo te kwè yo te kapab rive Finiks. Yo leve lank, yo pran lonje kòt lil la.
14 But after a short time a wind of hurricane force, called the northeaster, began to beat down from the island.
Men, yon lòt moman, yon gwo van yo rele nòde desann soti nan mòn lil la.
15 When the ship was caught by the storm and could no longer head into the wind, we had to give way to the storm and were driven along by the wind.
Li pran trennen batiman an. pa t' gen mwayen kenbe tèt ak li. Nou te blije kite l' pote n' ale.
16 We sailed along the lee of a small island called Cauda, and with difficulty we were able to secure the lifeboat.
Nou pase bò anba yon ti zile yo rele Kloda. La, nou pran yon ti souf. Se pa ti traka anvan nou resi sove ti kannòt bò a.
17 When they had hoisted the lifeboat up, they used its ropes to bind the hull of the ship. They were afraid that they should run upon the sandbars of Syrtis, so they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
Yo rale l' moute abò. Apre sa, yo pran mare kèk kòd, yo sentre batiman an byen sentre. Yo te pè tou pou batiman an pa t' al chwe sou yon fon plat ki nan mitan lanmè a devan peyi Libi. Yo desann vwal yo. Se konsa nou kite van an bwote nou.
18 We took such a violent battering by the storm that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard.
Gwo van an t'ap bat nou pi rèd. Nan denmen, nou te blije jete chay yo nan dlo.
19 On the third day the sailors threw overboard the ship's equipment with their own hands.
Nan denmen ankò, marin yo voye tout aparèj batiman an jete nan dlo ak pwòp men yo.
20 When the sun and stars did not shine on us for many days, and the great storm still beat upon us, any more hope that we should be saved was abandoned.
Pandan plizyè jou nou pa wè ni solèy, ni zetwal. Van an menm t'ap soufle byen fò toujou. Lè n' wè sa, nou pèdi tout espwa sove.
21 When they had gone long without food, then Paul stood up among the sailors and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, so as to get this injury and loss.
Moun ki te abò yo pa t' manje anyen depi lontan. Pòl kanpe devan yo, li di yo konsa: Mesye, nou te dwe koute mwen. Nou pa t' dwe soti kite Krèt. Nou ta egzante tout danje sa yo ak tout pèt sa yo.
22 Now I urge you to take courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the loss of the ship.
Men, koulye a, m'ap di nou pran kouraj. Pesonn p'ap mouri. Se batiman an ase k'ap pèdi.
23 For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong, whom also I worship—his angel stood beside me
Yè oswa, Bondye m'ap sèvi a, li menm ki mèt mwen, li voye yon zanj li bò kote m',
24 and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar, and see, God in his kindness has given to you all those who are sailing with you.'
li di mwen: Pa pè, Pòl. Fòk ou konparèt devan Seza. Epi Bondye fè favè sa a pou ou: li ba ou lavi tout moun k'ap vwayaje ansanm avèk ou yo.
25 Therefore be cheerful, men! For I trust God that it will happen just as it was told to me.
Se poutèt sa, mesye, pran kouraj. Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye. Sa gen pou l' rive jan li di m' lan.
26 But we must run aground upon some island.”
Men, nou pral chwe sou yon zile.
27 When the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven this way and that in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors thought that they were approaching some land.
Sa te fè katòz nwit deja. Van an t'ap bwote nou toujou sou lanmè Mediterane a. Vè menwi konsa, marin yo vin santi nou t'ap pwoche bò yon tè.
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms; after a little while, they took more soundings and found fifteen fathoms.
Yo mare yon sonn nan yon liy, yo lage l' nan fon. Yo jwenn dlo a te gen vin bras. Pi devan ankò yo lage liy lan, yo jwenn kenz bras ase.
29 They were afraid that we might crash on the rocks, so they lowered four anchors from the stern and prayed that morning would come soon.
Yo te pè pou batiman an pa moute sou resif. Yo lage kat lank nan dèyè batiman an. Yo t'ap tann solèy la leve.
30 The sailors were looking for a way to abandon the ship and had lowered the lifeboat into the sea, and pretended that they would throw down the anchors from the bow.
Marin yo menm t'ap chache chape kò yo. Yo desann ti kannòt bò a nan dlo, yo pran pretès yo tapral mare kèk lank devan batiman an.
31 But Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
Men, Pòl di kòmandan women an ak sòlda yo: Si moun sa yo pa rete nan batiman an, nou yonn p'ap sove.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it drift away.
Lè sa a, sòlda yo koupe kòd ki te mare ti kannòt bò a, yo kite l' ale.
33 When daylight was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food. He said, “This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and do not eat; you have eaten nothing.
Anvan solèy leve, Pòl mande tout moun pou yo manje yon ti manje. Li di yo: Mezanmi, jòdi a fè katòz jou depi nou rete la san manje, n'ap tann.
34 So I urge you to share some food, for this is necessary for you to survive. For not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”
Tanpri, koulye a, mete kichòy nan vant nou. N'a byen bezwen l' pou nou sove. Ata yon branch cheve nou p'ap pèdi.
35 When he had said this, he took bread and he thanked God in the sight of everyone. Then he broke the bread and began to eat.
Lè li fin di sa, Pòl pran pen, li di Bondye mèsi devan yo tout, li kase pen an, epi l' kòmanse manje.
36 Then they were all encouraged and they also took food.
Tout moun reprann kouraj; yo menm tou yo manje.
37 We were 276 people in the ship.
Te gen desanswasannsèz (276) moun antou abò batiman an.
38 When they had eaten enough, they made the ship lighter by throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Lè yo fin manje kont yo, yo jete rès ble a nan lanmè pou deleste batiman an.
39 When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a beach, and they discussed whether they could drive the ship onto it.
Lè solèy leve, marin yo pa t' rekonèt tè a. Men, yo wè yon lans ak yon bèl plaj. Yo fè lide pran chans ale fè tè la.
40 So they cut loose the anchors and left them in the sea. At the same time they loosed the ropes of the rudders and raised the foresail to the wind; and so they headed to the beach.
Yo demare lank yo, yo lage yo nan lanmè. Yo demare kòd ki te kenbe zaviwon ki te sèvi yo gouvènay la. Yo moute fòk la pou van an pouse batiman an tou dwat devan yo. Yo mete k'ap sou plaj la.
41 But they came to a place where two currents met, and the ship ran into the ground. The bow of the ship stuck there and remained unmovable, but the stern began to break up because of the waves' violence.
Men, batiman an moute sou yon ban sab nan mitan de kouran, li chwe. Devan batiman an te antre kole nan sab la, dèyè a menm gwo lanm yo t'ap fin kraze li.
42 The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners so that none of them could swim away and escape.
Sòlda yo te vle touye prizonye yo pou okenn ladan yo pa t' naje sove.
43 But the centurion wanted to save Paul, so he stopped their plan; and he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
Men, kòmandan women an ki te vle sove Pòl di yo non pa fè sa. Li bay lòd pou tout moun ki konn naje jete kò yo nan dlo anvan pou y' al atè.
44 Then the rest of the men should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. In this way it happened that all of us came safely to land.
Lòt moun yo va swiv apre, y'a kenbe kèk planch osinon kèk moso nan batiman an. Se konsa nou tout nou rive atè anbyen, san lòt donmaj ni malè.
