25 Or sur le minuit Paul et Silas priaient, en chantant les louanges de Dieu; en sorte que les prisonniers les entendaient.
26 Et tout d'un coup il se fit un si grand tremblement de terre, que les fondements de la prison croulaient; et incontinent toutes les portes s'ouvrirent, et les liens de tous furent détachés.
27 Sur quoi le geôlier s'étant éveillé, et voyant les portes de la prison ouvertes, tira son épée, et se voulait tuer, croyant que les prisonniers s'en fussent fuis.
28 Mals Paul cria à haute voix, en disant : ne te fais point de mal : car nous sommes tous ici.
29 Alors ayant demandé de la lumière, il courut dans [le cachot], et tout tremblant, se jeta [aux pieds] de Paul et de Silas.
30 Et les ayant menés dehors, il leur dit : Seigneurs, que faut-il que je fasse pour être sauvé?
31 Ils dirent : crois au Seigneur Jésus-Christ; et tu seras sauvé, toi et ta maison.
32 Et ils lui annoncèrent la parole du Seigneur, et à tous ceux qui étaient en sa maison.
33 Après cela, les prenant en cette même heure de la nuit, il lava leurs plaies, et aussitôt après il fut baptisé, avec tous ceux de sa maison.
34 Et les ayant amenés en sa maison, il leur servit à manger, et se réjouit, parce qu'avec toute sa maison il avait cru en Dieu.
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.
