Travay 27
1 Lè yo te deside ke nou ta pran vwal pou Italie, yo te pwosede livre Paul avèk kèk lòt prizonye bay yon santenye ki manm nan kowòt Auguste la, ki te nome Julius.
And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy, and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,
2 Nou te anbake nan yon bato Adramityen ki te prèt pou pran vwal pou rejyon akote kot Asie. Nou te monte nan lanmè a, akonpanye pa Aristarque, yon Masedonyen ki soti Théssalonique.
Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
3 Pwochen jou a nou te antre kote Sidon. Julius te byen trete Paul e te pèmèt li ale bò kote zanmi li yo, kote li te resevwa swen.
And the day following we came to Sidon. And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.
4 Soti la nou te monte sou lanmè a pou te pran vwal anba pwoteksyon Chypre akoz van an ki te kontrè.
And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Lè nou te fin travèse lanmè a toupre kot Cilicie ak Pamphylie, nou te rive nan Myra, nan Lycie.
And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
6 La santenye a te twouve yon bato Alexandryen ki t ap pran vwal pou Italie, e li te fè nou anbake.
And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.
7 Nou te navige byen lantman pandan anpil jou, epi avèk difikilte te rive akote Nid, akoz ke van pa t pèmèt nou ale pi lwen. Akoz sa nou te pran vwal anba pwoteksyon Crète la, toupre Salmone.
And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:
8 Konsa, avèk difikilte, nou te vwayaje pou rive a yon sèten kote ke yo te rele Beau-Ports, toupre lavil Lasea a.
And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.
9 Lè anpil tan te fin pase, vwayaj la te vin andanje akoz ke tan Fèt Jèn nan te fin pase, e Paul te kòmanse avèti yo.
And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
10 Li te di yo, “Mesye yo, mwen prevwa ke vwayaj la va an verite gen donmaj ak gwo pèt, non sèlman pou bagay nou pote ak bato a, men anplis pou lavi nou.”
Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 Men santenye a te plis enfliyanse pa pilòt la ak kaptenn bato a, ke pawòl a Paul yo.
But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
12 Akoz pò a pa t bon pou pase sezon livè a, majorite a te rive a yon desizyon pou retounen sou lanmè a pou wè si yo ta kab rive Phoenix, yon pò nan Crète, anfas sidwès ak nòdwès pou pase sezon livè a la.
And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.
13 Lè yon van sid byen modere te vin parèt, avèk kalkil la ke yo vin reyisi plan an, yo leve lank bato a, e yo te kòmanse pran vwal pou swiv Crète, toupre kot la.
And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.
14 Men avan anpil tan, yon van vyolan, ke yo te rele Euraquilon te desann soti atè e te vin vole sou yo.
But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
15 Konsa, lè bato a te pran nan li, li pa t kab fè fas a van an, e nou te kite l pran nou pou lèse nou pouse pa van an.
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
16 Pandan nou t ap kouri anba pwoteksyon a yon ti lil ke yo rele Clauda, nou te prèske pa t kab mete bato a anba kontwòl.
And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
17 Lè yo te fin leve l, yo te sèvi ak kab pou ranfòse bato a. Akoz pè ke yo ta vin echwe nan bafon Syrte la, yo te desann gwo vwal la, epi konsa kite van an pouse yo avanse.
Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.
18 Nan demen, pandan nou t ap jete toupatou avèk vyolans akoz van a, yo te kòmanse vide chaj yo pote nan lanmè.
And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
19 Nan twazyèm jou a, yo te jete tout aparèy pou manevre bato a nan lanmè avèk pwòp men yo.
And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 Akoz ni solèy, ni etwal pa t parèt pandan anpil jou, e se pa yon ti kras tanpèt ki t ap atake nou an, depi la, tout espwa pou nou ta sove te disparèt.
And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
21 Lè yo te fin fè anpil tan san manje, Paul te kanpe nan mitan yo e te di yo: “Mesye yo, nou te dwe swiv konsèy mwen an pou nou pa pran lanmè a soti Crète pou envite fè rive donmaj ak pèt sila yo.
And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.
22 Men koulye a mwen ankouraje nou pou pran kouraj, paske p ap gen pèt lavi pami nou, men sèlman chaj bato a.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Paske nan menm nwit sa a, yon zanj a Bondye a Sila ke m apatyen, e Sila ke m sèvi, te kanpe devan mwen.
For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
24 Konsa li te di: ‘Pa pè anyen Paul. Ou dwe kanpe devan César. Gade byen, Bondye gen tan ba ou tout sila ki ap vwayaje avèk ou yo.’
Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Akoz sa, mesye yo pran kouraj. Paske mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye ke sa va fini menm jan ke Li te di mwen an.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
26 Men fòk nou echwe sou yon sèten lil.”
And we must come unto a certain island.
27 Men lè katòzyèm nwit lan te vin rive, pandan van a t ap pouse vire nou nan Lanmè Adriatique la, anviwon minwi, yo te kòmanse vin konprann ke yo t ap pwoche vè yon tè.
But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
28 Lè Yo te sonde, yo te twouve ke se te a ven bwas pwofondè; epi yon ti kras pi lwen, yo te sonde ankò, e te twouve li a kenz bwas.
Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.
29 Nan pè pou nou ta kouri atè yon kote sou wòch, yo voye kat lank pa dèyè bato yo e te espere pou jounen an vin rive.
Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 Men pandan mesye lanmè yo t ap eseye chape kite bato a, yo te deja lonje desann ti kannòt bato a nan lanmè a, sou pretèks ke yo t ap lonje lank pa devan yo,
But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,
31 Paul te di santenye a ak sòlda yo: “Si moun sa yo pa rete nan bato a, nou menm nou p ap kab sove.”
Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
32 Alò, sòlda yo te koupe kòd a kannòt bato a, e te kite l tonbe lib.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Jiskaske joune a te prèt pou pwente, Paul t ap ankouraje yo tout pou pran kèk bagay pou manje, e t ap di: “Jodi a fè katòzyèm jou ke nou ap veye san rete, ale san manje, e pa pran anyen.
And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited, and continued fasting, taking nothing.
34 Konsa, mwen ankouraje nou pou pran kèk manje, paske sa se pou prezève nou; paske pa menm yon cheve nan tèt a okenn nan nou p ap peri.”
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health’s sake; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish.
35 Lè l fin di sa, li te pran pen e te remèsye Bondye nan prezans a tout moun. Li te kase li e te kòmanse manje.
And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Yo tout te ankouraje e yo menm yo tout te pran manje.
Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 Nou tout nan bato a se te de-san-swasann-sèz moun.
And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 Lè yo te manje kont yo, yo te kòmanse fè bato a pi lejè pa voye ble nan lanmè a.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
39 Lè jounen an te vin rive yo pa t rekonèt tè a, men yo te wè yon pò avèk yon plaj, e yo te pran kouraj pou dirije bato a vè li si l te posib.
And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.
40 Konsa, yo te jete lank yo, e te kite yo nan lanmè a, pandan nan menm moman an yo t ap lage kòd gouvènay yo, yo te monte vwal devan an pou van an pran l; konsa yo te tire vè plaj la.
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.
41 Men yo te vin frape a yon resif kote de lanmè te rankontre, yo te kouri echwe batimán an; pwent avan bato a te kole rèd, e pa t kapab deplase, men dèyè a te kòmanse kraze an moso akoz gwo vag lanmè a.
And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.
42 Sòlda yo te fè plan pou touye tout prizonye yo, pou okenn nan yo pa ta chape naje nan lanmè a.
And the soldiers’ counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
43 Men santenye a ki te vle fè Paul rive sof, te anpeche entansyon yo a, e te kòmande ke sila ki te kapab naje, vòltije nan lanmè a avan pou naje rive atè,
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.
44 epi rès la ta swiv yo, kèk sou mòso bwa, e lòt yo sou plizyè lòt bagay pou kite bato a. Konsa li te rive, ke yo tout te vin rive sof atè.
And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
