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.
But as it was demed hym to schippe into Ytalie, thei bitoken Poul with othere kepers to a centurien, bi name Julius, of the cumpeny of knyytis of the emperoure.
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.
And we wenten vp in to the schip of Adrymetis, and bigunnen to seile, and weren borun aboute the placis of Asie, while Aristark of Macedonye, Tessalonycence, dwellide stille with vs.
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.
And in the dai suynge, we camen to Sydon; and Julius tretyde curteisli Poul, and suffride to go to frendis, and do his nedis.
4 And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And whanne we remouede fro thennus, we vndurseiliden to Cipre, for that wyndis weren contrarie.
5 And having sailed across the depths along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, of Lycia.
And we seiliden in the see of Silicie and Pamfilie, and camen to Listris, that is Licie.
6 And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it.
And there the centurien foond a schip of Alisaundre, seilinge in to Ytalie, and puttide vs ouer in to it.
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.
And whanne in many daies we seilden slowli, and vnnethe camen ayens Guydum, for the winde lettide vs, we seiliden to Crete, bisidis Salomona.
8 And sailing by it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was Lasea City.
And vnnethe we seilden bisidis, and camen into a place, that is clepid of good hauen, to whom the cite Tessala was niy.
9 And considerable time having past, and the voyage now being dangerous, also because the Fast was now past, Paul urged,
And whanne miche time was passid, and whanne seiling thanne was not sikir, for that fasting was passid, Poul coumfortide hem,
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.
and seide to hem, Men, Y se that seiling bigynneth to be with wrong and myche harm, not oonli of charge and of the schip, but also of oure lyues.
11 But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul.
But the centurien bileuede more to the gouernour, and to the lord of the schip, thanne to these thingis that weren seid of Poul.
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.
And whanne the hauene was not able to dwelle in wynter, ful many ordeyneden counsel to seile fro thennus, if on ony maner thei miyten come to Fenyce, to dwelle in wynter at the hauene of Crete, which biholdith to Affrik, and to Corum.
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.
And whanne the south blew, thei gessiden hem to holde purpos; and whanne thei hadden removed fro Asson, thei seiliden to Crete.
14 But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon.
And not aftir miche, the wynde Tifonyk, that is clepid north eest, was ayens it.
15 And the ship having been caught, and not being able to face the wind, having given up, we were driven.
And whanne the schip was rauyschid, and myyte not enforse ayens the wynde, whanne the schip was youun to the blowynges of the wynde, we weren borun with cours into an ile,
16 And having sailed under lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were able with difficulty, to develop control of the skiff.
that is clepid Canda; and vnethe we miyten gete a litil boot.
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.
And whanne this was takun vp, thei vsiden helpis, girdinge togidere the schippe; and dredden, lest thei schulden falle into sondi placis. And whanne the vessel was vndur set, so thei weren borun.
18 And since we were exceedingly storm-tossed, on the next day they jettisoned.
And for we weren throwun with strong tempest, in the dai suynge thei maden casting out.
19 And the third day we cast out by hands the tackling of the ship.
And the thridde dai with her hoondis thei castiden awei the instrumentis of the schip.
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.
And whanne the sunne nether the sterris weren seie bi many daies, and tempest not a litil neiyede, now al the hope of oure helthe was don awei.
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.
And whanne myche fasting hadde be, thanne Poul stood in the myddil of hem, and seide, A! men, it bihofte, whanne ye herden me, not to haue take awei the schip fro Crete, and gete this wronge and casting out.
22 And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.
And now Y counsel you to be of good coumfort, for los of no persoone of you schal be, outakun of the schip.
23 For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
For an aungel of God, whos Y am, and to whom Y serue, stood niy to me in this niyt, and seide, Poul, drede thou not;
24 saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.
it bihoueth thee to stonde bifore the emperour. And lo! God hath youun to thee alle that ben in the schip with thee.
25 Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.
For which thing, ye men, be ye of good coumfort; for Y bileue to my God, that so it schal be, as it is seid to me.
26 But we must fall off upon a certain island.
And it bihoueth vs to come into sum yle.
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.
But aftirward that in the fourtenthe dai the niyt cam on vs seilinge in the stony see, aboute mydniyt the schipmen supposiden sum cuntre to appere to hem.
28 And having tossed lead, they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and having tossed lead again, they found fifteen fathoms.
And thei kesten doun a plommet, and founden twenti pasis of depnesse. And aftir a litil thei weren departid fro thennus, and foundun fiftene pasis.
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.
And thei dredden, lest we schulden haue fallun in to scharp placis; and fro the last parti of the schip thei senten foure ankeris, and desiriden that the dai hadde be come.
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,
And whanne the schipmen souyten to fle fro the schip, whanne thei hadden sent a litil boot in to the see, vndur colour as thei schulden bigynne to stretche forth the ankeris fro the formere part of the schip,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Poul seide to the centurien and to the knyytis, But these dwellen in the schip, ye moun not be maad saaf.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff, and let it fall off.
Thanne knyytis kittiden awei the cordis of the litil boot, and suffriden it to falle awei.
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.
And whanne the dai was come, Poul preiede alle men to take mete, and seide, The fourtenthe dai this dai ye `abiden, and dwellen fastinge, and taken no thing.
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.
Wherfor Y preie you to take mete, for youre helthe; for of noon of you the heer of the heed schal perische.
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.
And whanne he hadde seid these thingis, Poul took breed, and dide thankyngis to God in the siyt of alle men; and whanne he hadde brokun, he bigan to eete.
36 And they all, having become encouraged, also took food.
And alle weren maad of betere coumfort, and thei token mete.
37 And all the souls in the ship were two hundred seventy-six.
And we weren alle men in the schip, two hundrid seuenti and sexe.
38 And after being filled of food, they unloaded the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
And thei weren fillid with mete, and dischargiden the schip, and castiden whete in to the see.
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.
And whanne the dai was comun, thei knewen no lond; and thei bihelden an hauene that hadde a watir bank, in to which thei thouyten, if thei miyten, to bringe vp the schip.
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.
And whanne thei hadden take vp the ankeris, thei bitoken hem to the see, and slakiden togidir the ioyntours of gouernails. And with a litil seil lift vp, bi blowyng of the wynde thei wenten to the bank.
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.
And whanne we felden into a place of grauel gon al aboute with the see, thei hurtliden the schip. And whanne the formere part was fitchid, it dwellide vnmouable, and the last part was brokun of strengthe of the see.
42 And a decision of the soldiers developed that they should kill the prisoners, lest any man, having swam away, might escape.
And counsel of the kniytis was, to sle men that weren in warde, lest ony schulde ascape, whanne he hadde swymmed out.
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,
But the centurien wolde kepe Poul, and forbede it to be don. And he comaundide hem that miyte swymme, to go in to the see, and scape, and go out to the loond.
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.
And thei baren summe othere on boordis, summe on tho thingis that weren of the schip. And so it was don, that alle men ascapiden to the lond.
