Apostelenes gerninger 27
1 Men da det var besluttet, at vi skulde afsejle til Italien, overgave de baade Paulus og nogle andre Fanger til en Høvedsmand ved Navn Julius af den kejserlige Afdeling.
And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,
2 Vi gik da om Bord paa et adramyttisk Skib, som skulde gaa til Stederne langs med Asiens Kyster, og vi sejlede af Sted; og Aristarkus, en Makedonier fra Thessalonika, var med os.
and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,
3 Og den næste Dag anløb vi Sidon. Og Julius, som behandlede Paulus venligt, tilstedte ham at gaa hen til sine Venner og nyde Pleje.
on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, permitted [him], having gone on to friends, to receive [their] care.
4 Og vi fore bort derfra og sejlede ind under Kypern, fordi Vinden var imod.
And there, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,
5 Og vi sejlede igennem Farvandet ved Kilikien og Pamfylien og kom til Myra i Lykien.
and having sailed over the sea down by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,
6 Og der fandt Høvedsmanden et aleksandrinsk Skib, som sejlede til Italien, og bragte os over i det.
and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, put us into it,
7 Men da Sejladsen i mange Dage gik langsomt, og vi med Nød og næppe naaede henimod Knidus (thi Vinden føjede os ikke), holdt vi ned under Kreta ved Salmone.
and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming down by Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete, down by Salmone,
8 Med Nød og næppe sejlede vi der forbi og kom til et Sted, som kaldes „Gode Havne‟, nær ved Byen Lasæa.
and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
9 Men da en rum Tid var forløben, og Sejladsen allerede var farlig, saasom endog Fasten allerede var forbi, formanede Paulus dem og sagde:
And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,
10 „I Mænd! jeg ser, at Sejladsen vil medføre Ulykke og megen Skade, ikke alene paa Ladning og Skib, men ogsaa paa vort Liv.‟
saying to them, “Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the load and of the ship, but also of our lives—the voyage is about to be”;
11 Men Høvedsmanden stolede mere paa Styrmanden og Skipperen end paa det, som Paulus sagde.
but the centurion gave more credence to the pilot and to the shipowner than to the things spoken by Paul;
12 Og da Havnen ikke egnede sig til Vinterleje, besluttede de fleste, at man skulde sejle derfra, om man muligt kunde naa hen og overvintre i Føniks, en Havn paa Kreta, som vender imod Sydvest og Nordvest.
and the haven being not well placed to winter in, the greater part gave counsel to sail from there, if somehow they might be able, having attained to Phoenix, to winter [there], [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest,
13 Da der nu blæste en Søndenvind op, mente de at have naaet deres Hensigt, lettede Anker og sejlede langs med og nærmere ind under Kreta.
and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
14 Men ikke længe derefter for der en heftig Storm ned over den, den saakaldte „Eurakvilo‟.
and not long after, there came down from it a turbulent wind [that] is called the Euroclydon,
15 Og da Skibet reves med og ikke kunde holde op imod Vinden, opgave vi det og lode os drive.
and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were carried on,
16 Men da vi løb ind under en lille Ø, som kaldes Klavde, formaaede vi med Nød og næppe at bjærge Baaden.
and having run under a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
17 Men efter at have trukket den op, anvendte de Nødmidler og omsurrede Skibet; og da de frygtede for, at de skulde blive kastede ned i Syrten, firede de Sejlene ned og lode sig saaledes drive.
which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall into the [sandbars of] Syrtis, having let down the mast—so were carried on.
18 Og da vi maatte kæmpe haardt med Stormen, begyndte de næste Dag at kaste over Bord.
And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
19 Og paa den tredje Dag udkastede de med egne Hænder Skibets Redskaber.
and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands,
20 Men da hverken Sol eller Stjerner lode sig se i flere Dage, og vi havde et Uvejr over os, som ikke var ringe, blev fra nu af alt Haab om Redning os betaget.
and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little storm lying on us, from then on all hope was taken away of our being saved.
21 Og da man længe ikke havde taget Føde til sig, saa stod Paulus frem midt iblandt dem og sagde: „I Mænd! man burde have adlydt mig og ikke være sejlet bort fra Kreta og have sparet os denne Ulykke og Skade.
And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, “It was necessary, indeed, O men—having listened to me—not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
22 Og nu formaner jeg eder til at være ved godt Mod; thi ingen Sjæl af eder skal forgaa, men alene Skibet.
and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you—but of the ship;
23 Thi i denne Nat stod der en Engel hos mig fra den Gud, hvem jeg tilhører, hvem jeg ogsaa tjener, og sagde:
for this night there stood by me a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve—
24 „Frygt ikke, Paulus! du skal blive stillet for Kejseren; og se, Gud har skænket dig alle dem, som sejle med dig.‟
saying, Do not be afraid Paul; it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you;
25 Derfor, I Mænd! værer ved godt Mod; thi jeg har den Tillid til Gud, at det skal ske saaledes, som der er blevet talt til mig.
for this reason be of good cheer, men! For I believe God, that so it will be, even as it has been spoken to me,
26 Men vi maa strande paa en Ø.‟
and on a certain island it is necessary for us to be cast.”
27 Men da den fjortende Nat kom, og vi dreve i det adriatiske Hav, kom det Skibsfolkene for ved Midnatstid, at der var Land i Nærheden.
And when the fourteenth night came—we being carried up and down in the Adria—toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew near to them;
28 Og da de loddede, fik de tyve Favne, og da de lidt længere fremme atter loddede, fik de femten Favne.
and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,
29 Og da de frygtede, at vi skulde støde paa Skær, kastede de fire Ankere ud fra Bagstavnen og bade til, at det maatte blive Dag.
and fearing lest we may fall on rough places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were wishing day to come.
30 Men da Skibsfolkene gjorde Forsøg paa at flygte fra Skibet og firede Baaden ned i Søen under Paaskud af, at de vilde lægge Ankere ud fra Forstavnen,
And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretense as [if] out of the prow they are about to cast anchors,
31 da sagde Paulus til Høvedsmanden og til Stridsmændene: „Dersom disse ikke blive i Skibet, kunne I ikke reddes.‟
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “If these do not remain in the ship—you are not able to be saved”;
32 Da kappede Stridsmændene Baadens Tove og lode den falde ned.
then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and permitted it to fall off.
33 Men indtil det vilde dages, formanede Paulus alle til at tage Næring til sig og sagde: „Det er i Dag den fjortende Dag, I have ventet og tilbragt uden at spise og intet taget til eder.
And until the day was about to be, Paul was calling on all to partake of nourishment, saying, “Fourteen days today, waiting, you continue fasting, having taken nothing,
34 Derfor formaner jeg eder til at tage Næring til eder, thi dette hører med til eders Redning; ikke et Haar paa Hovedet skal gaa tabt for nogen af eder.‟
for this reason I call on you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you will a hair fall from the head”;
35 Men da han havde sagt dette, tog han Brød og takkede Gud for alles Øjne og brød det og begyndte at spise.
and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;
36 Da bleve de alle frimodige og toge ogsaa Næring til sig.
and all having become of good cheer, also took food themselves,
37 Men vi vare i Skibet i alt to Hundrede og seks og halvfjerdsindstyve Sjæle.
(and we were—all the souls in the ship—two hundred, seventy-six),
38 Og da de vare blevne mættede med Føde, lettede de Skibet ved at kaste Levnedsmidlerne i Søen.
and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.
39 Men da det blev Dag, kendte de ikke Landet; men de bemærkede en Vig med en Forstrand, som de besluttede, om muligt, at sætte Skibet ind paa.
And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but were perceiving a certain bay having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,
40 Og de kappede Ankrene, som de lode blive i Søen, og løste tillige Rortovene, og idet de satte Raasejlet til for Vinden, holdt de ind paa Strandbredden.
and having taken up the anchors, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time—having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the foresail to the wind—they were making for the shore,
41 Men de stødte paa en Grund med dybt Vand paa begge Sider, og der satte de Skibet, og Forstavnen borede sig fast og stod urokkelig, men Bagstavnen sloges sønder af Bølgernes Magt.
and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the prow, indeed, having stuck fast, remained immoveable, but the stern was broken by the violence of the waves.
42 Det var nu Stridsmændenes Raad, at man skulde ihjelslaa Fangerne, for at ingen skulde svømme bort og undkomme.
And the soldiers’ counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone having swam out should escape,
43 Men Høvedsmanden, som vilde frelse Paulus, forhindrede dem i dette Forehavende og bød, at de, som kunde svømme, skulde først kaste sig ud og slippe i Land,
but the centurion, resolving to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and commanded those able to swim, having cast themselves out first—to get to the land,
44 og de andre bjærge sig, nogle paa Brædder, andre paa Stykker af Skibet. Og saaledes skete det, at alle bleve reddede i Land.
and the rest, some indeed on boards, and some on certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
