Hi everyone. Can you please help me translate this? Thank you very much everybody. On fire.

That night before he was to quit, there was an explosion on the oil rig . there were three who were killed instantly . the rest were burned . different parts . the Christian was 90 % of his body . he heard the screaming and the flesh burning . he was running himself and he saw the man who had mocked him so much . he saw him on fire and he pulled him away from the blaze . it was nothing on his charcoaled . his hands frozen up . he had nothing left but his eyeballs . his ears was gone, his nose was gone, everything was gone . did he cry out to God ? no he didn’t.

La nuit précédant son départ, il y a eu une explosion sur la plate-forme pétrolière . trois personnes ont été tuées sur le coup . les autres ont été brûlées sur différentes parties du corps . le chrétien fut brûlé à 90 % de son corps . il a entendu les cris et la chair brûlée . il courait et il a vu l'homme qui s'était tant moqué de lui . il l'a vu en feu ? brûlé ? et l'a éloigné de l'incendie l'embrasement, flambée, brasier . ses mains étaient carbonisées, paralysés, gelé, congelé, figé, . il n'avait plus rien, excepté ses yeux , globes oculaires ? . ses oreilles et son nez avaient disparu, tout avait disparu . a-t-il crié à Dieu ? non, il ne l'a pas fait.

He saw him on fire and he pulled him away from the blaze.

Il l'a vu brûlé et l'a éloigné de l'incendie.
