Acts 27
1 And when it was determined for us to sail for Italy, they delivered both Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the band of Augustus.
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.
2 And having gotten on a ship of Adramyttium that was going to sail to the places along Asia, we launched, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
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.
3 And on another day we put in at Sidon. And Julius, who treated Paul kindly, allowed him to undergo care, after going to his friends.
Og den næste Dag anløb vi Sidon. Og Julius, som behandlede Paulus venligt, tilstedte ham at gaa hen til sine Venner og nyde Pleje.
4 And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Og vi fore bort derfra og sejlede ind under Kypern, fordi Vinden var imod.
5 And having sailed across the depths along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, of Lycia.
Og vi sejlede igennem Farvandet ved Kilikien og Pamfylien og kom til Myra i Lykien.
6 And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it.
Og der fandt Høvedsmanden et aleksandrinsk Skib, som sejlede til Italien, og bragte os over i det.
7 And sailing slowly during considerable days, and with difficulty having come along the Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under lee of Crete, along Salmone.
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.
8 And sailing by it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was Lasea City.
Med Nød og næppe sejlede vi der forbi og kom til et Sted, som kaldes „Gode Havne‟, nær ved Byen Lasæa.
9 And considerable time having past, and the voyage now being dangerous, also because the Fast was now past, Paul urged,
Men da en rum Tid var forløben, og Sejladsen allerede var farlig, saasom endog Fasten allerede var forbi, formanede Paulus dem og sagde:
10 saying to them, Men, I perceive that the voyage is going to be with injury and much damage, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
„I Mænd! jeg ser, at Sejladsen vil medføre Ulykke og megen Skade, ikke alene paa Ladning og Skib, men ogsaa paa vort Liv.‟
11 But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul.
Men Høvedsmanden stolede mere paa Styrmanden og Skipperen end paa det, som Paulus sagde.
12 And since the haven was inconvenient to winter in, the majority gave counsel to launch from there also, if somehow they might be able, after arriving at Phoenix, to winter in a haven of Crete, looking toward southwest and northwest.
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.
13 And when a south wind blew gently, having presumed to have obtained their purpose, after taking up anchor, they sailed very near by Crete.
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.
14 But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon.
Men ikke længe derefter for der en heftig Storm ned over den, den saakaldte „Eurakvilo‟.
15 And the ship having been caught, and not being able to face the wind, having given up, we were driven.
Og da Skibet reves med og ikke kunde holde op imod Vinden, opgave vi det og lode os drive.
16 And having sailed under lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were able with difficulty, to develop control of the skiff.
Men da vi løb ind under en lille Ø, som kaldes Klavde, formaaede vi med Nød og næppe at bjærge Baaden.
17 And having taken that up, they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they might fall off into the sandbank, having lowered the vessel, they were driven this way.
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.
18 And since we were exceedingly storm-tossed, on the next day they jettisoned.
Og da vi maatte kæmpe haardt med Stormen, begyndte de næste Dag at kaste over Bord.
19 And the third day we cast out by hands the tackling of the ship.
Og paa den tredje Dag udkastede de med egne Hænder Skibets Redskaber.
20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared for more days, and no small storm laying on, all remaining hope for us to be saved was taken away.
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.
21 And being long without food, then Paul, who stood in the midst of them, said, Ye truly ought, O men, to have complied with me, not to launch from Crete, and gain this damage and loss.
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.
22 And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.
Og nu formaner jeg eder til at være ved godt Mod; thi ingen Sjæl af eder skal forgaa, men alene Skibet.
23 For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
Thi i denne Nat stod der en Engel hos mig fra den Gud, hvem jeg tilhører, hvem jeg ogsaa tjener, og sagde:
24 saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.
„Frygt ikke, Paulus! du skal blive stillet for Kejseren; og se, Gud har skænket dig alle dem, som sejle med dig.‟
25 Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.
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.
26 But we must fall off upon a certain island.
Men vi maa strande paa en Ø.‟
27 And when it became the fourteenth night, as we were driven about in the Adriatic sea, toward midnight the sailors suspected some region to come near them.
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.
28 And having tossed lead, they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and having tossed lead again, they found fifteen fathoms.
Og da de loddede, fik de tyve Favne, og da de lidt længere fremme atter loddede, fik de femten Favne.
29 And fearing lest somehow we might falloff on rough places, having cast off four anchors from the stern, they prayed for day to develop.
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.
30 And since the sailors sought to flee out of the ship, and having lowered the skiff into the sea in pretense as going to stretch out anchors from the bow,
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,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
da sagde Paulus til Høvedsmanden og til Stridsmændene: „Dersom disse ikke blive i Skibet, kunne I ikke reddes.‟
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff, and let it fall off.
Da kappede Stridsmændene Baadens Tove og lode den falde ned.
33 And until day was going to develop, Paul urged them all to partake of food, saying, Today is the fourteenth day, waiting, ye continue without food, having taken nothing.
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.
34 Therefore I encourage you to take of food, for this is for your safety. For not a hair will fall from the head of one of you.
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.‟
35 And having said these things, and having taken bread, he expressed thanks to God in the presence of all. And having broke in pieces, he began to eat.
Men da han havde sagt dette, tog han Brød og takkede Gud for alles Øjne og brød det og begyndte at spise.
36 And they all, having become encouraged, also took food.
Da bleve de alle frimodige og toge ogsaa Næring til sig.
37 And all the souls in the ship were two hundred seventy-six.
Men vi vare i Skibet i alt to Hundrede og seks og halvfjerdsindstyve Sjæle.
38 And after being filled of food, they unloaded the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Og da de vare blevne mættede med Føde, lettede de Skibet ved at kaste Levnedsmidlerne i Søen.
39 And when it became day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay having a beach, onto which, they decided if possible, to drive the ship.
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.
40 And having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time unfastening the bands of the rudders. And having hoisted up the foresail to the wind, they held firm for the shore.
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.
41 And having chanced upon a place where two seas meet, they ran the ship aground. And of course, the bow having become stuck, it remained immovable, but the stern was coming apart by the force of the waves.
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.
42 And a decision of the soldiers developed that they should kill the prisoners, lest any man, having swam away, might escape.
Det var nu Stridsmændenes Raad, at man skulde ihjelslaa Fangerne, for at ingen skulde svømme bort og undkomme.
43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prevented them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, having first jumped out, to go to the land,
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,
44 and the remaining, some on boards, and some on any of the things from the ship. And so it came to pass for all to be saved to the land.
og de andre bjærge sig, nogle paa Brædder, andre paa Stykker af Skibet. Og saaledes skete det, at alle bleve reddede i Land.
