Chapter 28

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.

 

Après nous être sauvés, nous reconnûmes que l`île s`appelait Malte.

And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.

 

Les barbares nous témoignèrent une bienveillance peu commune; ils nous recueillirent tous auprès d`un grand feu, qu`ils avaient allumé parce que la pluie tombait et qu`il faisait grand froid.

And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.

 

Paul ayant ramassé un tas de broussailles et l`ayant mis au feu, une vipère en sortit par l`effet de la chaleur et s`attacha à sa main.

And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

 

Quand les barbares virent l`animal suspendu à sa main, ils se dirent les uns aux autres: Assurément cet homme est un meurtrier, puisque la Justice n`a pas voulu le laisser vivre, après qu`il a été sauvé de la mer.

And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

 

Paul secoua l`animal dans le feu, et ne ressentit aucun mal.

Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

 

Ces gens s`attendaient à le voir enfler ou tomber mort subitement; mais, après avoir longtemps attendu, voyant qu`il ne lui arrivait aucun mal, ils changèrent d`avis et dirent que c`était un dieu.

In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.

 

Il y avait, dans les environs, des terres appartenant au principal personnage de l`île, nommé Publius, qui nous reçut et nous logea pendant trois jours de la manière la plus amicale.

And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

 

Le père de Publius était alors au lit, malade de la fièvre et de la dysenterie; Paul, s`étant rendu vers lui, pria, lui imposa les mains, et le guérit.

So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:

 

Là-dessus, vinrent les autres malades de l`île, et ils furent guéris.

Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.

 

On nous rendit de grands honneurs, et, à notre départ, on nous fournit les choses dont nous avions besoin.

And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.

 

Après un séjour de trois mois, nous nous embarquâmes sur un navire d`Alexandrie, qui avait passé l`hiver dans l`île, et qui portait pour enseigne les Dioscures.

And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

 

Ayant abordé à Syracuse, nous y restâmes trois jours.

And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:

 

De là, en suivant la côte, nous atteignîmes Reggio; et, le vent du midi s`étant levé le lendemain, nous fîmes en deux jours le trajet jusqu`à Pouzzoles,

Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

 

où nous trouvâmes des frères qui nous prièrent de passer sept jours avec eux. Et c`est ainsi que nous allâmes à Rome.

And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.

 

De Rome vinrent à notre rencontre, jusqu`au Forum d`Appius et aux Trois Tavernes, les frères qui avaient entendu parler de nous. Paul, en les voyant, rendit grâces à Dieu, et prit courage.

And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

 

Lorsque nous fûmes arrivés à Rome, on permit à Paul de demeurer en son particulier, avec un soldat qui le gardait.

And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

 

Au bout de trois jours, Paul convoqua les principaux des Juifs; et, quand ils furent réunis, il leur adressa ces paroles: Hommes frères, sans avoir rien fait contre le peuple ni contre les coutumes de nos pères, j`ai été mis en prison à Jérusalem et livré de là entre les mains des Romains.

Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.

 

Après m`avoir interrogé, ils voulaient me relâcher, parce qu`il n`y avait en moi rien qui méritât la mort.

But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.

 

Mais les Juifs s`y opposèrent, et j`ai été forcé d`en appeler à César, n`ayant du reste aucun dessein d`accuser ma nation.

For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.

 

Voilà pourquoi j`ai demandé à vous voir et à vous parler; car c`est à cause de l`espérance d`Israël que je porte cette chaîne.

And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.

 

Ils lui répondirent: Nous n`avons reçu de Judée aucune lettre à ton sujet, et il n`est venu aucun frère qui ait rapporté ou dit du mal de toi.

But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.

 

Mais nous voudrions apprendre de toi ce que tu penses, car nous savons que cette secte rencontre partout de l`opposition.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

 

Ils lui fixèrent un jour, et plusieurs vinrent le trouver dans son logis. Paul leur annonça le royaume de Dieu, en rendant témoignage, et en cherchant, par la loi de Moïse et par les prophètes, à les persuader de ce qui concerne Jésus. L`entretien dura depuis le matin jusqu`au soir.

And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

 

Les uns furent persuadés par ce qu`il disait, et les autres ne crurent point.

And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,

 

Comme ils se retiraient en désaccord, Paul n`ajouta que ces mots: C`est avec raison que le Saint Esprit, parlant à vos pères par le prophète Ésaïe, a dit:

Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:

 

Va vers ce peuple, et dis: Vous entendrez de vos oreilles, et vous ne comprendrez point; Vous regarderez de vos yeux, et vous ne verrez point.

For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

 

Car le coeur de ce peuple est devenu insensible; Ils ont endurci leurs oreilles, et ils ont fermé leurs yeux, De peur qu`ils ne voient de leurs yeux, qu`ils n`entendent de leurs oreilles, Qu`ils ne comprennent de leur coeur, Qu`ils ne se convertissent, et que je ne les guérisse.

Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

 

Sachez donc que ce salut de Dieu a été envoyé aux païens, et qu`ils l`écouteront.

And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.

 

Lorsqu`il eut dit cela, les Juifs s`en allèrent, discutant vivement entre eux.

And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,

 

Paul demeura deux ans entiers dans une maison qu`il avait louée. Il recevait tous ceux qui venaient le voir,

Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

 

prêchant le royaume de Dieu et enseignant ce qui concerne le Seigneur Jésus Christ, en toute liberté et sans obstacle.
