Travay 27
1 Lè yo deside pou fè n' pati nan batiman pou peyi Itali, yo renmèt Pòl ansanm ak kèk lòt prizonye nan men Jiliyis, kòmandan yon batayon lame Wòm lan yo te rele Batayon Seza.
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 anbake sou yon batiman ki te soti lavil Adramit ki tapral fè lakòt nan Lazi. Epi nou pati. Aristak, yon moun lavil Tesalonik nan peyi Masedwan, te avèk nou.
Embarking in a ship of 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 Nan denmen nou rive lavil Sidon. Jiliyis te boule byen ak Pòl, li te ba l' pèmisyon pou li al wè zanmi l' yo pou li al chache sa l' te bezwen.
The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Apre nou kite Sidon, nou pase sou bò dwat lil Chip, nou lonje kòt la sou anwo, paske van an te kontrè pou nou lòt bò a.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Nou travèse lanmè a devan Silisi ak Panfili, nou rive lavil Mira nan Lisi.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Antan nou la, kòmandan an jwenn yon batiman ki te soti lavil Aleksandri tapral an Itali. Li fè nou anbake sou li.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Pandan plizyè jou nou vwayaje ti pa ti pa. Se pa ti traka anvan nou te ka rive devan lavil Nid. Van an pa t' ban nou chans pou n' al pi lwen nan k'ap sa a. Nou te blije desann, pase devan k'ap Salmone, vire anba lil Krèt.
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 Nou lonje kòt la avèk anpil traka jouk nou rive yon kote yo rele Bon Pò, toupre lavil Laze.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Nou te deja pèdi anpil tan, jou pou jwif yo te fè jèn yo te deja pase. Lè sa a se te gwo danje pou moun vwayaje.
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 Se poutèt sa Pòl ba yo konsèy sa a: Mesye, mwen wè vwayaj la pral gen gwo danje ladan li: n'ap pèdi chay la ansanm ak batiman an. Ata moun ka mouri tou.
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, kòmandan women an te gen plis konfyans nan pawòl kaptenn lan ak amatè batiman an pase nan pawòl Pòl.
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 Pò a pa t' bon pou yo te rete pase sezon fredi a tou: se poutèt sa pifò moun ki te abò a te vle pati. Yo t'ap pran chans rive Finiks, yon lòt pò nan lil Krèt la ki bay sou lanmè nan direksyon siwa nòwa. Konsa, yo ta ka pase sezon fredi 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 southwest and northwest.
13 Lè yo wè yon ti van swèt leve, yo te kwè yo te kapab rive Finiks. Yo leve lank, yo pran lonje kòt lil 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, yon lòt moman, yon gwo van yo rele nòde desann soti nan mòn lil la.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Li pran trennen batiman an. pa t' gen mwayen kenbe tèt ak li. Nou te blije kite l' pote n' ale.
When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Nou pase bò anba yon ti zile yo rele Kloda. La, nou pran yon ti souf. Se pa ti traka anvan nou resi sove ti kannòt bò a.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Yo rale l' moute abò. Apre sa, yo pran mare kèk kòd, yo sentre batiman an byen sentre. Yo te pè tou pou batiman an pa t' al chwe sou yon fon plat ki nan mitan lanmè a devan peyi Libi. Yo desann vwal yo. Se konsa nou kite van an bwote nou.
After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 Gwo van an t'ap bat nou pi rèd. Nan denmen, nou te blije jete chay yo nan dlo.
As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Nan denmen ankò, marin yo voye tout aparèj batiman an jete nan dlo ak pwòp men yo.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Pandan plizyè jou nou pa wè ni solèy, ni zetwal. Van an menm t'ap soufle byen fò toujou. Lè n' wè sa, nou pèdi tout espwa sove.
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 Moun ki te abò yo pa t' manje anyen depi lontan. Pòl kanpe devan yo, li di yo konsa: Mesye, nou te dwe koute mwen. Nou pa t' dwe soti kite Krèt. Nou ta egzante tout danje sa yo ak tout pèt sa 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, m'ap di nou pran kouraj. Pesonn p'ap mouri. Se batiman an ase k'ap pèdi.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life amongst you, but only of the ship.
23 Yè oswa, Bondye m'ap sèvi a, li menm ki mèt mwen, li voye yon zanj li bò kote m',
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 li di mwen: Pa pè, Pòl. Fòk ou konparèt devan Seza. Epi Bondye fè favè sa a pou ou: li ba ou lavi tout moun k'ap vwayaje ansanm avèk ou yo.
saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Se poutèt sa, mesye, pran kouraj. Mwen gen konfyans nan Bondye. Sa gen pou l' rive jan li di m' lan.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Men, nou pral chwe sou yon zile.
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Sa te fè katòz nwit deja. Van an t'ap bwote nou toujou sou lanmè Mediterane a. Vè menwi konsa, marin yo vin santi nou t'ap pwoche bò 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 Yo mare yon sonn nan yon liy, yo lage l' nan fon. Yo jwenn dlo a te gen vin bras. Pi devan ankò yo lage liy lan, yo jwenn kenz bras ase.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Yo te pè pou batiman an pa moute sou resif. Yo lage kat lank nan dèyè batiman an. Yo t'ap tann solèy la leve.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Marin yo menm t'ap chache chape kò yo. Yo desann ti kannòt bò a nan dlo, yo pran pretès yo tapral mare kèk lank devan batiman an.
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 Men, Pòl di kòmandan women an ak sòlda yo: Si moun sa yo pa rete nan batiman an, nou yonn p'ap sove.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Lè sa a, sòlda yo koupe kòd ki te mare ti kannòt bò a, yo kite l' ale.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Anvan solèy leve, Pòl mande tout moun pou yo manje yon ti manje. Li di yo: Mezanmi, jòdi a fè katòz jou depi nou rete la san manje, n'ap tann.
While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Tanpri, koulye a, mete kichòy nan vant nou. N'a byen bezwen l' pou nou sove. Ata yon branch cheve nou p'ap pèdi.
Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”
35 Lè li fin di sa, Pòl pran pen, li di Bondye mèsi devan yo tout, li kase pen an, epi l' kòmanse manje.
When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Tout moun reprann kouraj; yo menm tou yo manje.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Te gen desanswasannsèz (276) moun antou abò batiman an.
In all, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Lè yo fin manje kont yo, yo jete rès ble a nan lanmè pou deleste batiman an.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Lè solèy leve, marin yo pa t' rekonèt tè a. Men, yo wè yon lans ak yon bèl plaj. Yo fè lide pran chans ale fè tè la.
When it was day, they didn’t recognise the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
40 Yo demare lank yo, yo lage yo nan lanmè. Yo demare kòd ki te kenbe zaviwon ki te sèvi yo gouvènay la. Yo moute fòk la pou van an pouse batiman an tou dwat devan yo. Yo mete k'ap sou 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, batiman an moute sou yon ban sab nan mitan de kouran, li chwe. Devan batiman an te antre kole nan sab la, dèyè a menm gwo lanm yo t'ap fin kraze li.
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 vle touye prizonye yo pou okenn ladan yo pa t' naje sove.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Men, kòmandan women an ki te vle sove Pòl di yo non pa fè sa. Li bay lòd pou tout moun ki konn naje jete kò yo nan dlo anvan pou y' al 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 towards the land;
44 Lòt moun yo va swiv apre, y'a kenbe kèk planch osinon kèk moso nan batiman an. Se konsa nou tout nou rive atè anbyen, san lòt donmaj ni malè.
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
