Djela apostolska 27
1 Kad je odlučeno da odjedrimo u Italiju, predadoše i Pavla i neke druge uznike satniku carske čete, imenom Juliju.
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 Popesmo se na neku adramitsku lađu koja je imala ploviti u azijska mjesta pa otplovismo. S nama je bio Aristarh Makedonac, Solunjanin.
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 Sutradan doplovismo u Sidon. Julije, koji je s Pavlom čovječno postupao, dopusti mu poći k prijateljima da se pobrinu za nj.
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 Odande smo otplovili, jedrili uz Cipar - jer su nam vjetrovi bili protivni -
Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us;
5 pa preplovili more duž Cilicije i Pamfilije i stigli u Miru licijsku.
and, sailing the whole length of the sea that lies off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
6 Ondje satnik nađe neku aleksandrijsku lađu za Italiju i ukrca nas na nju.
There Julius found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.
7 Više smo dana plovili sporo i jedva doprli do Knida. Kako nam vjetar ne dade pristati, doplovismo pod Kretu kod Salmone
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 pa jedva jedvice ploveći uza nju, stigosmo na neko mjesto zvano Dobra pristaništa, blizu kojega je grad Laseja.
Then, coasting along with difficulty, we reached a place called 'Fair Havens,' near the town of Lasea.
9 Kad je nakon duljeg vremena plovidba već postala pogibeljna jer je Post već bio izminuo, opominjaše Pavao:
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 “Ljudi, govorio im je, vidim da će plovidba biti nezgodna i na veliku štetu ne samo za tovar i lađu nego i za naše živote.”
"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 Ali je satnik više vjerovao kormilaru i brodovlasniku negoli Pavlovim riječima.
But Julius let himself be persuaded by the pilot and by the owner rather than by Paul's arguments;
12 A kako luka nije bila prikladna za zimovanje, većina je predlagala da odande otplove ne bi li kako doprli do kretske luke Feniksa, što gleda prema jugozapadu i sjeverozapadu, pa ondje prezimili.
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 Uto duhne blagi južnjak i oni, misleći da bi mogli ostvariti naum, digoše sidro i zaploviše tik uz Kretu.
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 Ali nedugo zatim razbjesni se žestok vjetar zvan sjeveroistočnjak.
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 Zahvati lađu te mu nije mogla odoljeti pa se prepustismo da nas nosi.
She was unable to make headway against the gale; so we gave up and let her drive.
16 Prolazeći ispod nekog otočića zvanog Kauda, jedva uspjesmo dohvatiti čamac.
Then we ran under the lee of a little island called Cauda, where we managed with great difficulty to secure the boat;
17 Podigoše ga pa upotrijebiše snast da potpašu lađu. Bojeći se pak da se ne nasuču u Sirti, spustiše prvenjaču. Tako ih je nosilo.
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 Budući da nas je oluja silovito udarala, sutradan se riješiše tovara,
But, as the storm was still violent, the next day they began to lighten the ship;
19 a treći dan svojim rukama izbaciše brodsku opremu.
and, on the third day, with their own hands they threw the ship's spare gear overboard.
20 Kako se pak više dana nije pomaljalo ni sunce ni zvijezde, a oluja bjesnjela nemalena, bila je već propala svaka nada da ćemo se spasiti.
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 Ni jelo se već dugo nije. Onda usta Pavao posred njih i reče: “Trebalo je, ljudi, poslušati me, ne se otiskivati od Krete i izbjeći ovu nepogodu i štetu.
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 Sada vas pak opominjem: razvedrite se jer ni živa duša između vas neće stradati, nego samo lađa.
But now take courage, for there will be no destruction of life among you, but of the ship only.
23 Noćas mi se ukaza anđeo Boga čiji sam i komu služim
For there stood by my side, last night, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom also I worship,
24 te reče: 'Ne boj se, Pavle! Pred cara ti je stati i evo Bog ti daruje sve koji plove s tobom.'
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 Zato razvedrite se, ljudi! Vjerujem Bogu: bit će kako mi je rečeno.
"Therefore, Sirs, take courage; for I believe God, and am convinced that things will happen exactly as I have been told.
26 Ali treba da se nasučemo na neki otok.”
But we are to be stranded on a certain island."
27 Bijaše već četrnaesta noć što smo bili tamo-amo gonjani po Jadranu kad oko ponoći naslutiše mornari da im se primiče neka zemlja.
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 Bacivši olovnicu, nađoše dvadeset hvati dubine; malo poslije baciše je opet i nađoše ih petnaest.
So they hove the lead and found twenty fathoms of water; and after a short time they hove again and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Kako se bojahu da ne naletimo na grebene, baciše s krme četiri sidra iščekujući da se razdani.
Then for fear of possibly running on rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern and waited impatiently for daylight.
30 Kad su mornari bili naumili uteći iz lađe i počeli spuštati čamac u more pod izlikom da s pramca kane spustiti sidra,
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 reče Pavao satniku i vojnicima: “Ako ovi ne ostanu na lađi, vi se spasiti ne možete!”
But Paul, addressing Julius and the soldiers, said, "Your lives will be sacrificed, unless these men remain on board."
32 Nato vojnici presjekoše užad čamca i pustiše da padne.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship's boat and let her fall off.
33 Do pred svanuće nutkao je Pavao sve da uzmu hrane: “Četrnaesti je danas dan, reče, što bez jela čekate, ništa ne okusivši.
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 Stoga vas molim: založite nešto jer to je za vaš spas. Ta nikome od vas ni vlas s glave neće propasti.”
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 Rekavši to, uze kruh, pred svima zahvali Bogu, razlomi i stade jesti.
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 Svi se razvedre te i oni uzmu hrane.
This raised the spirits of all, and they too took food.
37 A svih nas je u lađi bilo dvjesta sedamdeset i šest duša.
There were 276 of us, crew and passengers, all told.
38 Jednom nasićeni, stanu rasterećivati lađu bacajući žito u more.
After eating a hearty meal they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.
39 Kad osvanu, mornari ne prepoznaše zemlje; razabraše neki zaljev ravne obale pa odluče, bude li moguće, u nj zavesti lađu.
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 Odriješe sidra i ostave ih u moru. Istodobno popuste i spone kormila, razapnu prvenjaču prema vjetru pa udare k obali.
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 Ali naletješe na plićak i nasukaše brod: pramac, nasađen, osta nepomičan, a krmu razdiraše žestina valova.
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 Tada vojnici naumiše poubijati sužnje da ne bi koji isplivao i pobjegao,
Now the soldiers recommended that the prisoners should be killed, for fear some one of them might swim ashore and effect his escape.
43 ali im satnik, hoteći spasiti Pavla, omete naum: zapovjedi da oni koji znaju plivati najprvi poskaču i izađu na kraj,
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 a ostali će, tko na daskama, tko na olupinama lađe. Tako svi živi i zdravi prispješe na kopno.
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.
