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 decided that we would sail to Italy, they transferred Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan Cohort.
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.
We got on board a ship of Adramyttium and put out to sea, intending to sail by the ports along the coast of Asia. With us was Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica.
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 put in at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul kindly, allowing him to go to his friends and receive care.
4 Soti la nou te monte sou lanmè a pou te pran vwal anba pwoteksyon Chypre akoz van an ki te kontrè.
From there we put out to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.
5 Lè nou te fin travèse lanmè a toupre kot Cilicie ak Pamphylie, nou te rive nan Myra, nan Lycie.
After sailing across the open sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we arrived at Myra 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 an Alexandrian ship that was sailing to Italy and 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.
We sailed along slowly for many days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.
8 Konsa, avèk difikilte, nou te vwayaje pou rive a yon sèten kote ke yo te rele Beau-Ports, toupre lavil Lasea a.
Sailing along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, which was 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.
Since much time had been lost and the voyage had now become dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised the ship's officers,
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.”
“Men, I perceive that this voyage is going to result in damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and of 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 was persuaded by the ship's captain and the shipowner rather than by what Paul said.
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 harbor was not a suitable place for spending the winter, the majority made a decision to set sail from there also, hoping to somehow reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest, so that we could spend the winter there.
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 a south wind started blowing gently, they thought that the opportunity had come for them to carry out their plan. So they weighed anchor and sailed closely along the shore of 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 before long, a hurricane-force wind called Euroclydon swept down from the island.
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 by the storm and could not head into 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 Clauda, we were able with difficulty to secure the skiff.
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 hoisting it up, the sailors used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing they might run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and in this manner the ship was 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.
The next day, because we were being severely battered by the storm, the sailors began throwing the cargo 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 we threw the ship's tackle overboard with our 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 appeared for many days, and the violent storm continued to rage, all hope that we might be saved was lost.
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.
Since there had been little desire to eat, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to my advice not to set sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage 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.
But now I advise you to be of good cheer, 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 this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me
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.’
and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; yoʋ must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted yoʋ the safety of all who are sailing with yoʋ.’
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 be of good cheer, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as I have been told.
26 Men fòk nou echwe sou yon sèten lil.”
But we must run aground on some 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.
When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were approaching 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.
So they took a sounding and found it to be twenty fathoms. After going a little farther, they took another sounding and found it to be 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 might run aground on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak to come.
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,
Then the sailors tried to escape from the ship by lowering the skiff into the sea under the pretense that they were going to 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.”
So Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “If these men do not remain 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 skiff and let it drift away.
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.
When daybreak was about to come, Paul encouraged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense without eating, 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 important for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any one of you.”
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.
After saying this, Paul took some bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Yo tout te ankouraje e yo menm yo tout te pran manje.
They were all encouraged and took food themselves.
37 Nou tout nan bato a se te de-san-swasann-sèz moun.
(Altogether there were two hundred seventy-six of us 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 their fill of food, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the wheat out 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 daybreak came, the sailors did not recognize the land. But they noticed a bay with a beach and decided that, if possible, they would run the ship ashore there.
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.
So they cut away the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the bands of the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail up into the blowing wind and 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 they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow stuck fast and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken apart by the force 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' plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away 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, wishing to save Paul's life, kept them from carrying out their plan. So he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first 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 were to follow, some on planks and some on pieces of the ship. And so it was that they were all brought safely to land.
