Eginak 27
1 Ordenatu içan cenean gu Italiarát embarcaturen guenela, eman cietzoten bay Paul bay berce presonér batzu Iulio deitzen cen Centener Augustoren bandaco bati.
Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they handed over Paul and a few other prisoners into the custody of Julius, a Captain of the Augustan battalion;
2 Eta iganic Adramytteco vnci batetara, Asiaco comarquetara ioaitera parti guentecen, eta gurequin cen Aristarche Macedo Thessaloniceanoa.
and going on board a ship of Adramyttium which was about to sail to the ports of the province of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, the Macedonian, from Thessalonica, forming one of our party.
3 Eta ondoco egunean arriua guentecen Sidonera, eta Iulioc humanoqui Paul tractaturic, permetti ceçan adisquidetarat ioanic, heçaz tracta ledin.
The next day we put in at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul with thoughtful kindness and allowed him to visit his friends and profit by their generous care.
4 Guero handic partituric Cypre beherera io gueneçan, ceren haice contreac baitziraden.
Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us;
5 Eta Ciliciaren eta Pamphyliaren aurkan den itsassora iraganic, ethor guentecen Myra Lyciaco hirira.
and, sailing the whole length of the sea that lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
6 Eta han Centenerac eridenic Alexandriaco vnci Italiarát ioaiten cen-bat, hartara sar eraci guençan
There Julius found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.
7 Eta anhitz egunez baratch ioaiten guenela, eta nequez Gnidaco aurkara helduric, haiceac permettitzen etzeraucularic, iragan guentecen Creta beherera Salmonen aurkán.
It took several days of slow sailing for us to come with difficulty off Cnidus; from which point, as the wind did not allow us to get on in the direct course, we ran under the lee of Crete by Salmone.
8 Eta nequez hura iragaiten guenduela, ethor guentecen Portu-ederrac deitzen den leku batetara, ceinen aldean baitzén Laseaco hiria.
Then, coasting along with difficulty, we reached a place called 'Fair Havens,' near the town of Lasea.
9 Eta ceren anhitz dembora iragan baitzén, eta ia vrean ioaitea perilós, ceren ia barura-ere iragan baitzén, conseillatzen cituen Paulec,
Our voyage thus far had occupied a considerable time, and the navigation being now unsafe and the Fast also already over, Paul warned them.
10 Ciostela, Guiçonác, badacussat ecen itsassoan ioaitea ez solament cargaren eta vnciaren, baina gure vicién-ere peril eta calte handirequin içanen dela.
"Sirs," he said, "I perceive that before long the voyage will be attended with danger and heavy loss, not only to the cargo and the ship but to our own lives also."
11 Baina Centenerac sinhestenago çuen gobernaçalea eta pilotua, ecen ez Paulec erraiten cituen gauçác.
But Julius let himself be persuaded by the pilot and by the owner rather than by Paul's arguments;
12 Eta ceren portua ezpaitzen leku onean neguären iragaiteco, guehiagoac opinionetaco ciraden handic-ere partitzera, neholere Phenicera arriua ahal litezquenez, han neguären iragaiteco, cein baita Africaco eta Choroco haiceari dagocan Cretaco portubat.
and as the harbour was inconvenient for wintering in, the majority were in favour of putting out to sea, to try whether they could get to Phoenix--a harbour on the coast of Crete facing north-east and south-east--to winter there.
13 Orduan egu-erdi haicea emequi altchatzen hassiric, bere intentionearen complimenduan ciradela vstez, partituric, costabazterca ceçaten aldetsuaz Creta.
And a light breeze from the south sprang up, so that they supposed they were now sure of their purpose. So weighing anchor they ran along the coast of Crete, hugging the shore.
14 Baina handic sarrisco altcha cedin harenganaco aldetic haice tempestateçu Euroclydon deitzen den-bat.
But it was not long before a furious north-east wind, coming down from the mountains, burst upon us and carried the ship out of her course.
15 Eta vncia haiceaz eraman içan cenean, hala non contra ecin ioan baitzaiten, haiceari vncia abandonnaturic eramaiten guenén.
She was unable to make headway against the gale; so we gave up and let her drive.
16 Eta Clauda deitzen den islato baten beherera iragan guenenean, nequez batelaren iabe içan ahal guenen.
Then we ran under the lee of a little island called Cauda, where we managed with great difficulty to secure the boat;
17 Hura tiraturic marineréc remedio guciac bilhatzen cituztén, vncia beheretic hersturic: eta Syrtera eror beldurrez, velác erautsiric, berahala eramaiten ciraden.
and, after hoisting it on board, they used frapping-cables to undergird the ship, and, as they were afraid of being driven on the Syrtis quicksands, they lowered the gear and lay to.
18 Eta ceren tempestate handiz tormentatzen baiquenén biharamunean egoizte eguin ceçaten
But, as the storm was still violent, the next day they began to lighten the ship;
19 Guero hereneco egunean gueuroc gure escuz vncico apparaillua egotz gueneçan.
and, on the third day, with their own hands they threw the ship's spare gear overboard.
20 Eta nola ez iguzquiric ez içarric anhitz egunez ezpaitzequigun aguer, eta tempestate handiac hertsen baiquentuen guehiagoric salua ahal guentezquelaco sperança gucia gal gueneçan.
Then, when for several days neither sun nor stars were seen and the terrific gale still harassed us, the last ray of hope was now vanishing.
21 Baina dembora lucez ian gaberic egon içan ciradenean, orduan çutic Paulec hayén artean, erran ceçan, O guiçonác, behar çatequeen ni sinhetsiric Cretatic ezquinén partitu, eta ihes eguin peril eta calte huni.
When for a long time they had taken but little food, Paul, standing up among them, said, "Sirs, you ought to have listened to me and not have sailed from Crete. You would then have escaped this suffering and loss.
22 Baina orain exhortatzen çaituztét çareten bihotz onetaco, ecen çuetaric baten-ere galtzeric ezta içanen, vnciarenic baicen.
But now take courage, for there will be no destruction of life among you, but of the ship only.
23 Ecen presentatu içan da ene aitzinean gau hunetan Iaincoaren Aingueruä, ceinena bainaiz ni, eta cein cerbitzatzen baitut,
For there stood by my side, last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom also I worship,
24 Ciostala, Paul, eztuala beldurric, Cesari presentatu behar atzayó: eta horrá, eman drauzquic Iaincoac hirequin vncian diraden guciac.
and he said, "'Dismiss all fear, Paul, for you must stand before Caesar; and God has granted you the lives of all who are sailing with you.'
25 Hunetacotz bihotz on auçue, guiçonác: ecen sinhesten dut Iaincoa, nola niri erran içan baitzait hala içanen dela.
"Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told.
26 Baina cembeit islatara egotzi behar gara.
But we are to be stranded on a certain island."
27 Bada hamalaurgarren gauä ethor cedinean, hara huna erabilten guenela itsas Adriaticoan, gauären erditsuan, estima ceçaten marineréc, ecen hurbiltzen litzeyela cembeit comarca.
It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Sea of Adria, when, about midnight, the sailors suspected that land was close at hand.
28 Baina plomua hundarrera egotziric, eriden ceçaten hoguey braça, eta handic appurbat guibeleraturic, eta berriz plomua hundarrera egotziric, eriden ceçaten hamaborz braça.
So they hove the lead and found twenty fathoms of water; and after a short time they hove again and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Eta beldurrez leku gaitzetara eror litecen laur angura vnci guibeletic egotziric, desiratzen çutén eguna ethor ledin.
Then for fear of possibly running on rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern and waited impatiently for daylight.
30 Eta marinerac vncitic ihes eguin nahiz çabiltzala, batela itsassora erautsiric, aleguia hec angurác vnci aitzinetic hedaturen.
The sailors, however, wanted to make their escape from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to lay out anchors from the bow.
31 Erran ciecén Paulec Centenerari eta gendarmesey, Baldin hauc vncian ezpadaude, çuec ecin salua çaitezquete.
But Paul, addressing Julius and the soldiers, said, "Your lives will be sacrificed, unless these men remain on board."
32 Orduan gendarmeséc ebaqui citzaten batelaren kordác, eta vtzi ceçaten beherera erortera.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship's boat and let her fall off.
33 Eta arguiaren gainera exhortatzen cituen Paulec guciac, ian leçaten, cioela, Egun haur da hamalaurgarrena, baruric beha çaudetela eta deus hartu eztuçuela.
And continually, up till daybreak, Paul kept urging all on board to take some food. "This is the fourteenth day," he said, "that you have been anxiously waiting for the storm to cease, and have fasted, eating little or nothing.
34 Hunegatic exhortatzen çaituztet har deçaçuen iatera: ceren haur çuen emparatzeari appertenitzen baitzayó: ecen çuetaric baten-ere burutic bilobat ezta galduren.
I therefore strongly advise you to take some food. This is essential for your safety. For not a hair will perish from the head of any one of you."
35 Eta gauça hauc erranic, eta oguia harturic gratiác renda cietzón Iaincoari gucién aitzinean: eta hautsiric, has cedin iaten.
Having said this he took some bread, and, after giving thanks to God for it before them all, he broke it in pieces and began to eat it.
36 Eta guciéc bihotz harturic, har ceçaten hec-ere iateco.
This raised the spirits of all, and they too took food.
37 Eta baguinén arima guciac vncian, ber-ehun eta hiruroguey eta hamassey.
There were 276 of us, crew and passengers, all told.
38 Eta viandaz ressasiaturic, arind ceçaten vncia, ogui-bihia itsassora egoizten lutela.
After eating a hearty meal they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.
39 Eta eguna ethorri cenean, herria etzeçaten eçagut: baina portu itsas adar çuen bati ohart cequizquión, hartara, eguin albalute, vncia egotzi aiher ciraden.
When daylight came, they tried in vain to recognise the coast. But an inlet with a sandy beach attracted their attention, and now their object was, if possible, to run the ship aground in this inlet.
40 Eta angurác altchaturic itsassoari vncia abandonna cieçoten, gobernaillén iunctadurac-ere lachaturic, eta haiceari vela altchaturic, tiratzen ari ciraden costara.
So they cut away the anchors and left them in the sea, unloosing at the same time the bands which secured the paddle-rudders. Then, hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 Baina eroriric bi vr lasterrec encontru eguiten çuten leku batetara, trebuca cequién vncia: eta vnci aitzinea landaturic tinc cegoen: eta vnci guibela hausten cen baguén botherez.
But coming to a place where two seas met, they stranded the ship, and her bow sticking fast remained immovable, while the stern began to go to pieces under the heavy hammering of the sea.
42 Orduan gendarmesén conseillua cen presonerén hiltzera, beldurrez cembeit igueri saluaturic itzur ledin.
Now the soldiers recommended that the prisoners should be killed, for fear some one of them might swim ashore and effect his escape.
43 Baina Centenerac Paul emparatu nahiz, harçara citzan conseillu hartaric, eta mana ceçan igueri ahal laiditenac, bere buruäc egotziric lehenic, lurrera empara litecen:
But their Captain, bent on securing Paul's safety, kept them from their purpose and gave orders that those who could swim should first jump overboard and get to land;
44 Eta berceac, batzu taula gainetan, batzu vnci çapoetan: eta halatan eguin cedin guciac salburic empara baitzitecen lurrera.
and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. In this way they all got safely to land.
