KJV ²⁷ And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

LSG ²⁷ Il se leva, et partit. Et voici, un Éthiopien, un eunuque, ministre de Candace, reine d'Éthiopie, et surintendant de tous ses trésors, venu à Jérusalem pour adorer,

KJV ²⁸ Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

LSG ²⁸ s'en retournait, assis sur son char, et lisait le prophète Ésaïe.

KJV ²⁹ Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

LSG ²⁹ L'Esprit dit à Philippe: Avance, et approche-toi de ce char.

KJV ³⁰ And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

LSG ³⁰ Philippe accourut, et entendit l'Éthiopien qui lisait le prophète Ésaïe. Il lui dit: Comprends-tu ce que tu lis ?

KJV ³¹ And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

LSG ³¹ Il répondit: Comment le pourrais-je, si quelqu'un ne me guide ? Et il invita Philippe à monter et à s'asseoir avec lui.

KJV ³² The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

LSG ³² Le passage de l'Écriture qu'il lisait était celui-ci: Il a été mené comme une brebis à la boucherie ; Et, comme un agneau muet devant celui qui le tond, Il n'a point ouvert la bouche.

KJV ³³ In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

LSG ³³ Dans son humiliation, son jugement a été levé. Et sa postérité, qui la dépeindra ? Car sa vie a été retranchée de la terre.

KJV ³⁴ And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

LSG ³⁴ L'eunuque dit à Philippe: Je te prie, de qui le prophète parle-t-il ainsi ? Est-ce de lui-même, ou de quelque autre ?

KJV ³⁵ Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

LSG ³⁵ Alors Philippe, ouvrant la bouche et commençant par ce passage, lui annonça la bonne nouvelle de Jésus.

KJV ³⁶ And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

LSG ³⁶ Comme ils continuaient leur chemin, ils rencontrèrent de l'eau. Et l'eunuque dit: Voici de l'eau ; qu'est-ce qui empêche que je ne sois baptisé ?

KJV ³⁷ And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

LSG ³⁷ Philippe dit: Si tu crois de tout ton coeur, cela est possible. L'eunuque répondit: Je crois que Jésus Christ est le Fils de Dieu.

KJV ³⁸ And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

LSG ³⁸ Il fit arrêter le char ; Philippe et l'eunuque descendirent tous deux dans l'eau, et Philippe baptisa l'eunuque.

KJV ³⁹ And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
