Actes 27	Acts 27
Actes 27:1 Lorsqu`il fut décidé que nous nous embarquerions pour l`Italie, on remit Paul et quelques autres prisonniers à un centenier de la cohorte Auguste, nommé Julius.	Acts 27:1 And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.
Actes 27:2 Nous montâmes sur un navire d`Adramytte, qui devait côtoyer l`Asie, et nous partîmes, ayant avec nous Aristarque, Macédonien de Thessalonique.	Acts 27:2 And we went to sea in a ship of Adramyttium which was sailing to the sea towns of Asia, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Actes 27:3 Le jour suivant, nous abordâmes à Sidon; et Julius, qui traitait Paul avec bienveillance, lui permit d`aller chez ses amis et de recevoir leurs soins.	Acts 27:3 And on the day after, we came to Sidon; and Julius was kind to Paul, and let him go to see his friends and take a rest.
Actes 27:4 Partis de là, nous longeâmes l`île de Chypre, parce que les vents étaient contraires.	Acts 27:4 And sailing again from there, we went on under cover of Cyprus, because the wind was against us.
Actes 27:5 Après avoir traversé la mer qui baigne la Cilicie et la Pamphylie, nous arrivâmes à Myra en Lycie.	Acts 27:5 And having gone across the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra, in Lycia.
Actes 27:6 Et là, le centenier, ayant trouvé un navire d`Alexandrie qui allait en Italie, nous y fit monter.	Acts 27:6 And there the captain came across a ship of Alexandria, sailing for Italy, and put us in it.
Actes 27:7 Pendant plusieurs jours nous naviguâmes lentement, et ce ne fut pas sans difficulté que nous atteignîmes la hauteur de Cnide, où le vent ne nous permit pas d`aborder. Nous passâmes au-dessous de l`île de Crète, du côté de Salmone.	Acts 27:7 And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;
Actes 27:8 Nous la côtoyâmes avec peine, et nous arrivâmes à un lieu nommé Beaux Ports, près duquel était la ville de Lasée.	Acts 27:8 And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.
Actes 27:9 Un temps assez long s`était écoulé, et la navigation devenait dangereuse, car l`époque même du jeûne était déjà passée.	Acts 27:9 And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,
Actes 27:10 C`est pourquoi Paul avertit les autres, en disant: O hommes, je vois que la navigation ne se fera pas sans péril et sans beaucoup de dommage, non seulement pour la cargaison et pour le navire, mais encore pour nos personnes.	Acts 27:10 Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.
Actes 27:11 Le centenier écouta le pilote et le patron du navire plutôt que les paroles de Paul.	Acts 27:11 But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.
Actes 27:12 Et comme le port n`était pas bon pour hiverner, la plupart furent d`avis de le quitter pour tâcher d`atteindre Phénix, port de Crète qui regarde le sud-ouest et le nord-ouest, afin d`y passer l`hiver.	Acts 27:12 And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.
Actes 27:13 Un léger vent du sud vint à souffler, et, se croyant maîtres de leur dessein, ils levèrent l`ancre et côtoyèrent de près l`île de Crète.	Acts 27:13 And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.
Actes 27:14 Mais bientôt un vent impétueux, qu`on appelle Euraquilon, se déchaîna sur l`île.	Acts 27:14 But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.
Actes 27:15 Le navire fut entraîné, sans pouvoir lutter contre le vent, et nous nous laissâmes aller à la dérive.	Acts 27:15 And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.
Actes 27:16 Nous passâmes au-dessous d`une petite île nommée Clauda, et nous eûmes de la peine à nous rendre maîtres de la chaloupe;	Acts 27:16 And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:
Actes 27:17 après l`avoir hissée, on se servit des moyens de secours pour ceindre le navire, et, dans la crainte de tomber sur la Syrte, on abaissa les voiles. C`est ainsi qu`on se laissa emporter par le vent.	Acts 27:17 And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.
Actes 27:18 Comme nous étions violemment battus par la tempête, le lendemain on jeta la cargaison à la mer,	Acts 27:18 And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;
Actes 27:19 et le troisième jour nous y lançâmes de nos propres mains les agrès du navire.	Acts 27:19 And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.
Actes 27:20 Le soleil et les étoiles ne parurent pas pendant plusieurs jours, et la tempête était si forte que nous perdîmes enfin toute espérance de nous sauver.	Acts 27:20 And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.
Actes 27:21 On n`avait pas mangé depuis longtemps. Alors Paul, se tenant au milieu d`eux, leur dit: O hommes, il fallait m`écouter et ne pas partir de Crète, afin d`éviter ce péril et ce dommage.	Acts 27:21 And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.
Actes 27:22 Maintenant je vous exhorte à prendre courage; car aucun de vous ne périra, et il n`y aura de perte que celle du navire.	Acts 27:22 But now, I say to you, be of good heart, for there will be no loss of life, but only of the ship.
Actes 27:23 Un ange du Dieu à qui j`appartiens et que je sers m`est apparu cette nuit,	Acts 27:23 For this night there came to my side an angel of the God who is my Master and whose servant I am,
Actes 27:24 et m`a dit: Paul, ne crains point; il faut que tu comparaisses devant César, et voici, Dieu t`a donné tous ceux qui naviguent avec toi.	Acts 27:24 Saying, Have no fear, Paul, for you will come before Caesar, and God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.
Actes 27:25 C`est pourquoi, ô hommes, rassurez-vous, car j`ai cette confiance en Dieu qu`il en sera comme il m`a été dit.	Acts 27:25 And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.
Actes 27:26 Mais nous devons échouer sur une île.	Acts 27:26 But we will be sent on to a certain island.
Actes 27:27 La quatorzième nuit, tandis que nous étions ballottés sur l`Adriatique, les matelots, vers le milieu de la nuit, soupçonnèrent qu`on approchait de quelque terre.	Acts 27:27 But when the fourteenth day came, while we were going here and there in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the sailors had an idea that they were getting near land;
Actes 27:28 Ayant jeté la sonde, ils trouvèrent vingt brasses; un peu plus loin, ils la jetèrent de nouveau, et trouvèrent quinze brasses.	Acts 27:28 And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.
Actes 27:29 Dans la crainte de heurter contre des écueils, ils jetèrent quatre ancres de la poupe, et attendirent le jour avec impatience.	Acts 27:29 Then, fearing that by chance we might come on to the rocks, they let down four hooks from the back of the ship, and made prayers for the coming of day.
Actes 27:30 Mais, comme les matelots cherchaient à s`échapper du navire, et mettaient la chaloupe à la mer sous prétexte de jeter les ancres de la proue,	Acts 27:30 Then the sailors made attempts secretly to get away from the ship, letting down a boat as if they were about to put down hooks from the front of the ship;
Actes 27:31 Paul dit au centenier et aux soldats: Si ces hommes ne restent pas dans le navire, vous ne pouvez être sauvés.	Acts 27:31 But Paul said to the captain and his men, If you do not keep these men in the ship, you will not be safe.
Actes 27:32 Alors les soldats coupèrent les cordes de la chaloupe, et la laissèrent tomber.	Acts 27:32 Then the armed men, cutting the cords of the boat, let her go.
Actes 27:33 Avant que le jour parût, Paul exhorta tout le monde à prendre de la nourriture, disant: C`est aujourd`hui le quatorzième jour que vous êtes dans l`attente et que vous persistez à vous abstenir de manger.	Acts 27:33 And when dawn was near, Paul gave them all orders to take food, saying, This is the fourteenth day you have been waiting and taking no food.
Actes 27:34 Je vous invite donc à prendre de la nourriture, car cela est nécessaire pour votre salut, et il ne se perdra pas un cheveux de la tête d`aucun de vous.	Acts 27:34 So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.
Actes 27:35 Ayant ainsi parlé, il prit du pain, et, après avoir rendu grâces à Dieu devant tous, il le rompit, et se mit à manger.	Acts 27:35 And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.
Actes 27:36 Et tous, reprenant courage, mangèrent aussi.	Acts 27:36 Then they all took heart and did the same.
Actes 27:37 Nous étions, dans le navire, deux cent soixante-seize personnes en tout.	Acts 27:37 And we were, in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six persons.
Actes 27:38 Quand ils eurent mangé suffisamment, ils allégèrent le navire en jetant le blé à la mer.	Acts 27:38 And when they had had enough food, they made the weight of the ship less, turning the grain out into the sea.
Actes 27:39 Lorsque le jour fut venu, ils ne reconnurent point la terre; mais, ayant aperçu un golfe avec une plage, ils résolurent d`y pousser le navire, s`ils le pouvaient.	Acts 27:39 And when it was day, they had no knowledge of the land, but they saw an inlet of the sea with a floor of sand, and they had the idea of driving the ship up on to it if possible.
Actes 27:40 Ils délièrent les ancres pour les laisser aller dans la mer, et ils relâchèrent en même temps les attaches des gouvernails; puis ils mirent au vent la voile d`artimon, et se dirigèrent vers le rivage.	Acts 27:40 So cutting away the hooks, and letting them go into the sea, and freeing the cords of the guiding-blades, and lifting up the sail to the wind, they went in the direction of the inlet.
Actes 27:41 Mais ils rencontrèrent une langue de terre, où ils firent échouer le navire; et la proue, s`étant engagée, resta immobile, tandis que la poupe se brisait par la violence des vagues.	Acts 27:41 And coming to a point between two seas, they got the ship to land; and the front part was fixed in the sand and not able to be moved, but the back part was broken by the force of the waves.
Actes 27:42 Les soldats furent d`avis de tuer les prisonniers, de peur que quelqu`un d`eux ne s`échappât à la nage.	Acts 27:42 Then the armed men were for putting the prisoners to death, so that no one would get away by swimming.
Actes 27:43 Mais le centenier, qui voulait sauver Paul, les empêcha d`exécuter ce dessein. Il ordonna à ceux qui savaient nager de se jeter les premiers dans l`eau pour gagner la terre,	Acts 27:43 But the captain, desiring to keep Paul safe, kept them from their purpose, and gave orders that those who had knowledge of swimming were to go off the ship and get first to land:
Actes 27:44 et aux autres de se mettre sur des planches ou sur des débris du navire. Et ainsi tous parvinrent à terre sains et saufs.	Acts 27:44 And the rest, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so it came about that they all got safe to land.
