New International Version NIV
36 Il y avait à Joppe une femme disciple, nommée Tabitha, c'est-à-dire, en grec, Dorcas (Gazelle). Elle faisait beaucoup de bonnes ouvres et d'aumônes.
36
In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor.
37 Elle tomba malade en ce temps-là, et mourut. Et après qu'on l'eut lavée, on la mit dans une chambre haute.
37
About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room.
38 Et comme Lydda est près de Joppe, les disciples ayant appris que Pierre y était, envoyèrent vers lui deux hommes, pour le prier de venir chez eux sans tarder.
38
Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, “Please come at once!”
39 Pierre, s'étant levé, alla avec eux. Et lorsqu'il fut arrivé, ils le menèrent à la chambre haute; et toutes les veuves s'approchèrent de lui, en pleurant, et en lui montrant combien Dorcas faisait de robes et de manteaux, lorsqu'elle était avec elles.
39
Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 Et Pierre, faisant sortir tout le monde, se mit à genoux et pria, puis se tournant vers le corps, il dit: Tabitha, lève-toi. Et elle ouvrit les yeux, et ayant vu Pierre, elle s'assit.
40
Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
41 Et Pierre lui donnant la main, la leva, et, ayant appelé les Saints et les veuves, la leur présenta vivante.
41
He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive.
42 Cela fut connu de tout Joppe; et plusieurs crurent au Seigneur.
42
This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
43 Et Pierre demeura plusieurs jours à Joppe, chez un certain Simon, corroyeur.
43
Peter stayed in Joppa for some time with a tanner named Simon.
