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 we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to [one] named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' 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.
And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we lanched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, [one] 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.
And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously treated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go to his friends to refresh 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 lanched 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 when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Mira, [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.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
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 we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce had come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against 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 hardly passing it, came to a place which is called, The fair havens; nigh to which was 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.
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, 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 this voyage will be with hurt 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.
Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than the 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.
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] a haven of Crete, and lieth towards the south-west and north-west.
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 when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], 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 Euroclydon.
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 into the wind, we let [her] drive.
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 isle which is called Clauda, 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 when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, 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 exceedingly tossed with a 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] we cast out with our 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 in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was then 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.
But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to 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 life among you, but 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 the angel of 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, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, 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 will be even as it was told to me.
26 Men fòk nou echwe sou yon sèten lil.”
But we must be cast upon a certain isle.
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 was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen suspected that they drew near to 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.
And sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found [it] 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 rocks, 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,
And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under color as though they would cast anchors out of the foreship,
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 abide in the ship, ye 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 while the day was coming on, Paul besought [them] all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried, and continued 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.”
Wherefore I pray you to take [some] food; for this is for your health: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any 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.
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.
36 Yo tout te ankouraje e yo menm yo tout te pran manje.
Then they were all of good cheer, and they also took food.
37 Nou tout nan bato a se te de-san-swasann-sèz moun.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy six 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, and cast 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 with a shore, into which they purposed, if it were possible, 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, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted the mainsail to the wind, and made towards the 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 falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the hinder part was broken with 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.
And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should 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, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their] purpose, and commanded that they who could swim, should cast [themselves] first [into the sea], 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 on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship: And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
