25 But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;

26 And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.

27 And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.

28 But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.

29 And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,

30 And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?

31 And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.

32 And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.

33 And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.

34 And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.

25 Sur le minuit, Paul et Silas étant en prières, chantaient les louanges de Dieu, et les prisonniers les entendaient.

26 Et tout d'un coup il se fit un grand tremblement de terre, en sorte que les fondements de la prison furent ébranlés, et en même temps toutes les portes furent ouvertes, et les liens de tous furent rompus.

27 Alors le geôlier, s'étant réveillé, et voyant les portes de la prison ouvertes, tira son épée, et allait se tuer, croyant que les prisonniers s'étaient sauvés.

28 Mais Paul d'une voix forte s'écria: Ne te fais point de mal; car nous sommes tous ici.

29 Alors le geôlier, ayant demandé de la lumière, entra promptement, et tout tremblant se jeta aux pieds de Paul et de Silas.

30 Puis les menant dehors, il leur dit: Seigneurs, que faut-il que je fasse pour être sauvé?

31 Ils lui dirent: Crois au Seigneur Jésus-Christ, et tu seras sauvé, toi et ta famille.

32 Et ils lui annoncèrent la Parole du Seigneur, et à tous ceux qui étaient dans sa maison.

33 Et les ayant pris avec lui à cette heure même de la nuit; et comme il lava leurs plaies, et il fut instamment consacré du Saint-Esprit, lui et tous les siens.

34 Et les conduisant dans son logement, il leur servit à manger; et il se réjouit de ce qu'il avait cru en Dieu, avec toute sa famille.
