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.
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 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.
Embarking in a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being 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.
The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Soti la nou te monte sou lanmè a pou te pran vwal anba pwoteksyon Chypre akoz van an ki te kontrè.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of 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.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 La santenye a te twouve yon bato Alexandryen ki t ap pran vwal pou Italie, e li te fè nou anbake.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
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.
When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8 Konsa, avèk difikilte, nou te vwayaje pou rive a yon sèten kote ke yo te rele Beau-Ports, toupre lavil Lasea a.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
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.
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished 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.”
and said to them, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the 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 gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken 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.
Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.
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.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Men avan anpil tan, yon van vyolan, ke yo te rele Euraquilon te desann soti atè e te vin vole sou yo.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
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.
When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
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.
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure 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.
After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 Nan demen, pandan nou t ap jete toupatou avèk vyolans akoz van a, yo te kòmanse vide chaj yo pote nan lanmè.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Nan twazyèm jou a, yo te jete tout aparèy pou manevre bato a nan lanmè avèk pwòp men yo.
On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
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.
When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be 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.
When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury 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.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of 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 there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
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, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
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.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Men fòk nou echwe sou yon sèten lil.”
But we must run aground on 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 when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
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.
They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and 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.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
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,
As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
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, "Unless 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 away the ropes of the boat, and let it 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.
While the day was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken 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.”
Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
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.
When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.
36 Yo tout te ankouraje e yo menm yo tout te pran manje.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Nou tout nan bato a se te de-san-swasann-sèz moun.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Lè yo te manje kont yo, yo te kòmanse fè bato a pi lejè pa voye ble nan lanmè a.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out 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.
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
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.
Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
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.
But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
42 Sòlda yo te fè plan pou touye tout prizonye yo, pou okenn nan yo pa ta chape naje nan lanmè a.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and 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, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the 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 should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.
