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.
jalapathenāsmākam itoliyādeśaṁ prati yātrāyāṁ niścitāyāṁ satyāṁ te yūliyanāmno mahārājasya saṁghātāntargatasya senāpateḥ samīpe paulaṁ tadanyān katinayajanāṁśca samārpayan|
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.
vayam ādrāmuttīyaṁ potamekam āruhya āśiyādeśasya taṭasamīpena yātuṁ matiṁ kṛtvā laṅgaram utthāpya potam amocayāma; mākidaniyādeśasthathiṣalanīkīnivāsyāristārkhanāmā kaścid jano'smābhiḥ sārddham āsīt|
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.
parasmin divase 'smābhiḥ sīdonnagare pote lāgite tatra yūliyaḥ senāpatiḥ paulaṁ prati saujanyaṁ pradarthya sāntvanārthaṁ bandhubāndhavān upayātum anujajñau|
4 And having launched from there, we sailed under lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
tasmāt pote mocite sati sammukhavāyoḥ sambhavād vayaṁ kupropadvīpasya tīrasamīpena gatavantaḥ|
5 And having sailed across the depths along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, of Lycia.
kilikiyāyāḥ pāmphūliyāyāśca samudrasya pāraṁ gatvā lūkiyādeśāntargataṁ murānagaram upātiṣṭhāma|
6 And there, the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, he put us in it.
tatsthānād itāliyādeśaṁ gacchati yaḥ sikandariyānagarasya potastaṁ tatra prāpya śatasenāpatistaṁ potam asmān ārohayat|
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.
tataḥ paraṁ bahūni dināni śanaiḥ śanaiḥ rgatvā knīdapārśvopasthtiḥ pūrvvaṁ pratikūlena pavanena vayaṁ salmonyāḥ sammukham upasthāya krītyupadvīpasya tīrasamīpena gatavantaḥ|
8 And sailing by it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was Lasea City.
kaṣṭena tamuttīryya lāseyānagarasyādhaḥ sundaranāmakaṁ khātam upātiṣṭhāma|
9 And considerable time having past, and the voyage now being dangerous, also because the Fast was now past, Paul urged,
itthaṁ bahutithaḥ kālo yāpita upavāsadinañcātītaṁ, tatkāraṇāt nauvartmani bhayaṅkare sati paulo vinayena kathitavān,
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.
he mahecchā ahaṁ niścayaṁ jānāmi yātrāyāmasyām asmākaṁ kleśā bahūnāmapacayāśca bhaviṣyanti, te kevalaṁ potasāmagryoriti nahi, kintvasmākaṁ prāṇānāmapi|
11 But the centurion was convinced more by the captain and the shipmaster than to those things spoken by Paul.
tadā śatasenāpatiḥ pauloktavākyatopi karṇadhārasya potavaṇijaśca vākyaṁ bahumaṁsta|
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.
tat khātaṁ śītakāle vāsārhasthānaṁ na tasmād avācīpratīcordiśoḥ krītyāḥ phainīkiyakhātaṁ yātuṁ yadi śaknuvantastarhi tatra śītakālaṁ yāpayituṁ prāyeṇa sarvve mantrayāmāsuḥ|
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.
tataḥ paraṁ dakṣiṇavāyu rmandaṁ vahatīti vilokya nijābhiprāyasya siddheḥ suyogo bhavatīti buddhvā potaṁ mocayitvā krītyupadvīpasya tīrasamīpena calitavantaḥ|
14 But not long after, there threw against it a cyclonic wind called the Euroclydon.
kintvalpakṣaṇāt parameva urakludonnāmā pratikūlaḥ pracaṇḍo vāyu rvahan pote'lagīt
15 And the ship having been caught, and not being able to face the wind, having given up, we were driven.
tasyābhimukhaṁ gantum potasyāśaktatvād vayaṁ vāyunā svayaṁ nītāḥ|
16 And having sailed under lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were able with difficulty, to develop control of the skiff.
anantaraṁ klaudīnāmna upadvīpasya kūlasamīpena potaṁ gamayitvā bahunā kaṣṭena kṣudranāvam arakṣāma|
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.
te tāmāruhya rajjcā potasyādhobhāgam abadhnan tadanantaraṁ cet poto saikate lagatīti bhayād vātavasanānyamocayan tataḥ poto vāyunā cālitaḥ|
18 And since we were exceedingly storm-tossed, on the next day they jettisoned.
kintu kramaśo vāyoḥ prabalatvāt poto dolāyamāno'bhavat parasmin divase potasthāni katipayāni dravyāṇi toye nikṣiptāni|
19 And the third day we cast out by hands the tackling of the ship.
tṛtīyadivase vayaṁ svahastaiḥ potasajjanadravyāṇi nikṣiptavantaḥ|
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.
tato bahudināni yāvat sūryyanakṣatrādīni samācchannāni tato 'tīva vātyāgamād asmākaṁ prāṇarakṣāyāḥ kāpi pratyāśā nātiṣṭhat|
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.
bahudineṣu lokairanāhāreṇa yāpiteṣu sarvveṣāṁ sākṣat paulastiṣṭhan akathayat, he mahecchāḥ krītyupadvīpāt potaṁ na mocayitum ahaṁ pūrvvaṁ yad avadaṁ tadgrahaṇaṁ yuṣmākam ucitam āsīt tathā kṛte yuṣmākam eṣā vipad eṣo'pacayaśca nāghaṭiṣyetām|
22 And now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will not be one loss of life from you, except of the ship.
kintu sāmprataṁ yuṣmān vinīya bravīmyahaṁ, yūyaṁ na kṣubhyata yuṣmākam ekasyāpi prāṇino hāni rna bhaviṣyati, kevalasya potasya hāni rbhaviṣyati|
23 For there stood by me this night an agent of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
yato yasyeśvarasya loko'haṁ yañcāhaṁ paricarāmi tadīya eko dūto hyo rātrau mamāntike tiṣṭhan kathitavān,
24 saying, Fear not, Paul. Thou must stand before Caesar, and lo, God has granted thee all those sailing with thee.
he paula mā bhaiṣīḥ kaisarasya sammukhe tvayopasthātavyaṁ; tavaitān saṅgino lokān īśvarastubhyaṁ dattavān|
25 Therefore men, cheer up, for I believe God, that it will be so in that way it has been told to me.
ataeva he mahecchā yūyaṁ sthiramanaso bhavata mahyaṁ yā kathākathi sāvaśyaṁ ghaṭiṣyate mamaitādṛśī viśvāsa īśvare vidyate,
26 But we must fall off upon a certain island.
kintu kasyacid upadvīpasyopari patitavyam asmābhiḥ|
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.
tataḥ param ādriyāsamudre potastathaiva dolāyamānaḥ san itastato gacchan caturdaśadivasasya rātre rdvitīyapraharasamaye kasyacit sthalasya samīpamupatiṣṭhatīti potīyalokā anvamanyanta|
28 And having tossed lead, they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and having tossed lead again, they found fifteen fathoms.
tataste jalaṁ parimāya tatra viṁśati rvyāmā jalānīti jñātavantaḥ| kiñciddūraṁ gatvā punarapi jalaṁ parimitavantaḥ| tatra pañcadaśa vyāmā jalāni dṛṣṭvā
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.
cet pāṣāṇe lagatīti bhayāt potasya paścādbhāgataścaturo laṅgarān nikṣipya divākaram apekṣya sarvve sthitavantaḥ|
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,
kintu potīyalokāḥ potāgrabhāge laṅgaranikṣepaṁ chalaṁ kṛtvā jaladhau kṣudranāvam avarohya palāyitum aceṣṭanta|
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Unless these men remain in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
tataḥ paulaḥ senāpataye sainyagaṇāya ca kathitavān, ete yadi potamadhye na tiṣṭhanti tarhi yuṣmākaṁ rakṣaṇaṁ na śakyaṁ|
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff, and let it fall off.
tadā senāgaṇo rajjūn chitvā nāvaṁ jale patitum adadāt|
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.
prabhātasamaye paulaḥ sarvvān janān bhojanārthaṁ prārthya vyāharat, adya caturdaśadināni yāvad yūyam apekṣamānā anāhārāḥ kālam ayāpayata kimapi nābhuṁgdhaṁ|
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.
ato vinaye'haṁ bhakṣyaṁ bhujyatāṁ tato yuṣmākaṁ maṅgalaṁ bhaviṣyati, yuṣmākaṁ kasyacijjanasya śirasaḥ keśaikopi na naṁkṣyati|
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.
iti vyāhṛtya paulaṁ pūpaṁ gṛhītveśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ bhāṣamāṇastaṁ bhaṁktvā bhoktum ārabdhavān|
36 And they all, having become encouraged, also took food.
anantaraṁ sarvve ca susthirāḥ santaḥ khādyāni parpyagṛhlan|
37 And all the souls in the ship were two hundred seventy-six.
asmākaṁ pote ṣaṭsaptatyadhikaśatadvayalokā āsan|
38 And after being filled of food, they unloaded the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
sarvveṣu lokeṣu yatheṣṭaṁ bhuktavatsu potasthan godhūmān jaladhau nikṣipya taiḥ potasya bhāro laghūkṛtaḥ|
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.
dine jāte'pi sa ko deśa iti tadā na paryyacīyata; kintu tatra samataṭam ekaṁ khātaṁ dṛṣṭvā yadi śaknumastarhi vayaṁ tasyābhyantaraṁ potaṁ gamayāma iti matiṁ kṛtvā te laṅgarān chittvā jaladhau tyaktavantaḥ|
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.
tathā karṇabandhanaṁ mocayitvā pradhānaṁ vātavasanam uttolya tīrasamīpaṁ gatavantaḥ|
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.
kintu dvayoḥ samudrayoḥ saṅgamasthāne saikatopari pote nikṣipte 'grabhāge bādhite paścādbhāge prabalataraṅgo'lagat tena poto bhagnaḥ|
42 And a decision of the soldiers developed that they should kill the prisoners, lest any man, having swam away, might escape.
tasmād bandayaśced bāhubhistarantaḥ palāyante ityāśaṅkayā senāgaṇastān hantum amantrayat;
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,
kintu śatasenāpatiḥ paulaṁ rakṣituṁ prayatnaṁ kṛtvā tān tacceṣṭāyā nivartya ityādiṣṭavān, ye bāhutaraṇaṁ jānanti te'gre prollampya samudre patitvā bāhubhistīrttvā kūlaṁ yāntu|
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.
aparam avaśiṣṭā janāḥ kāṣṭhaṁ potīyaṁ dravyaṁ vā yena yat prāpyate tadavalambya yāntu; itthaṁ sarvve bhūmiṁ prāpya prāṇai rjīvitāḥ|
