Acts 27
1 Then it was decided to send him by ship to Italy, and that Paul, with the others in custody, should be delivered to a centurion named Julius, of the cohort of Augusta.

2 After climbing aboard a ship from Adramyttium, we set sail and began to navigate along the ports of Asia, with Aristarchus, the Macedonian from Thessalonica, joining us.

3 And on the following day, we arrived at Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul humanely, permitted him to go to his friends and to look after himself.

4 And when we had set sail from there, we navigated below Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
tasmAt pote mocite sati sammukhavAyoH sambhavAd vayaM kupropadvIpasya tIrasamIpena gatavantaH|
5 And navigating though the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we arrived at Lystra, which is in Lycia.

6 And there the centurion found a ship from Alexandria sailing to Italy, and he transferred us to it.

7 And when we had sailed slowly for many days and had barely arrived opposite Cnidus, for the wind was hindering us, we sailed to Crete, near Salmone.

8 And barely being able to sail past it, we arrived at a certain place, which is called Good Shelter, next to which was the city of Lasea.

9 Then, after much time had passed, and since sailing would no longer be prudent because the Fast Day had now passed, Paul consoled them,
itthaM bahutithaH kAlo yApita upavAsadinaJcAtItaM, tatkAraNAt nauvartmani bhayaGkare sati paulo vinayena kathitavAn,
10 and he said to them: “Men, I perceive that the voyage is now in danger of injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but also to our own lives.”
he mahecchA ahaM nizcayaM jAnAmi yAtrAyAmasyAm asmAkaM klezA bahUnAmapacayAzca bhaviSyanti, te kevalaM potasAmagryoriti nahi, kintvasmAkaM prANAnAmapi|
11 But the centurion put more trust in the captain and the navigator of the ship, than in the things being said by Paul.
tadA zatasenApatiH pauloktavAkyatopi karNadhArasya potavaNijazca vAkyaM bahumaMsta|
12 And since it was not a fitting port in which to winter, the majority opinion was to sail from there, so that somehow they might be able to arrive at Phoenicia, in order to winter there, at a port of Crete, which looks out toward the southwest and northwest.
tat khAtaM zItakAle vAsArhasthAnaM na tasmAd avAcIpratIcordizoH krItyAH phainIkiyakhAtaM yAtuM yadi zaknuvantastarhi tatra zItakAlaM yApayituM prAyeNa sarvve mantrayAmAsuH|
13 And since the south wind was blowing gently, they thought that they might reach their goal. And after they had set out from Asson, they weighed anchor at Crete.
tataH paraM dakSiNavAyu rmandaM vahatIti vilokya nijAbhiprAyasya siddheH suyogo bhavatIti buddhvA potaM mocayitvA krItyupadvIpasya tIrasamIpena calitavantaH|
14 But not long afterward, a violent wind came against them, which is called the Northeast Wind.
kintvalpakSaNAt parameva urakludonnAmA pratikUlaH pracaNDo vAyu rvahan pote'lagIt
15 And once the ship had been caught in it and was not able to strive against the wind, giving over the ship to the winds, we were driven along.
tasyAbhimukhaM gantum potasyAzaktatvAd vayaM vAyunA svayaM nItAH|
16 Then, being forced along a certain island, which is called the Tail, we were barely able to hold on to the ship’s lifeboat.
anantaraM klaudInAmna upadvIpasya kUlasamIpena potaM gamayitvA bahunA kaSTena kSudranAvam arakSAma|
17 When this was taken up, they used it to assist in securing the ship. For they were afraid that they might run aground. And having lowered the sails, they were being driven along in this way.
te tAmAruhya rajjcA potasyAdhobhAgam abadhnan tadanantaraM cet poto saikate lagatIti bhayAd vAtavasanAnyamocayan tataH poto vAyunA cAlitaH|
18 Then, since we were being tossed about strongly by the tempest, on the following day, they threw the heavy items overboard.
kintu kramazo vAyoH prabalatvAt poto dolAyamAno'bhavat parasmin divase potasthAni katipayAni dravyANi toye nikSiptAni|
19 And on the third day, with their own hands, they threw the equipment of the ship overboard.
tRtIyadivase vayaM svahastaiH potasajjanadravyANi nikSiptavantaH|
20 Then, when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no end to the storm was imminent, all hope for our safety was now taken away.
tato bahudinAni yAvat sUryyanakSatrAdIni samAcchannAni tato 'tIva vAtyAgamAd asmAkaM prANarakSAyAH kApi pratyAzA nAtiSThat|
21 And after they had fasted for a long time, Paul, standing in their midst, said: “Certainly, men, you should have listened to me and not set out from Crete, so as to cause this injury and loss.

22 And now, let me persuade you to be courageous in soul. For there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

23 For an Angel of God, who is assigned to me and whom I serve, stood beside me this night,
yato yasyezvarasya loko'haM yaJcAhaM paricarAmi tadIya eko dUto hyo rAtrau mamAntike tiSThan kathitavAn,
24 saying: ‘Do not be afraid, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar. And behold, God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.’
he paula mA bhaiSIH kaisarasya sammukhe tvayopasthAtavyaM; tavaitAn saGgino lokAn IzvarastubhyaM dattavAn|
25 Because of this, men, be courageous in soul. For I trust God that this will happen in the same way that it has been told to me.
ataeva he mahecchA yUyaM sthiramanaso bhavata mahyaM yA kathAkathi sAvazyaM ghaTiSyate mamaitAdRzI vizvAsa Izvare vidyate,
26 But it is necessary for us to arrive at a certain island.”
kintu kasyacid upadvIpasyopari patitavyam asmAbhiH|
27 Then, after the fourteenth night arrived, as we were navigating in the sea of Adria, about the middle of the night, the sailors believed that they saw some portion of the land.
tataH param AdriyAsamudre potastathaiva dolAyamAnaH san itastato gacchan caturdazadivasasya rAtre rdvitIyapraharasamaye kasyacit sthalasya samIpamupatiSThatIti potIyalokA anvamanyanta|
28 And upon dropping a weight, they found a depth of twenty paces. And some distance from there, they found a depth of fifteen paces.
tataste jalaM parimAya tatra viMzati rvyAmA jalAnIti jJAtavantaH| kiJciddUraM gatvA punarapi jalaM parimitavantaH| tatra paJcadaza vyAmA jalAni dRSTvA
29 Then, fearing that we might happen upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and they were hoping for daylight to arrive soon.
cet pASANe lagatIti bhayAt potasya pazcAdbhAgatazcaturo laGgarAn nikSipya divAkaram apekSya sarvve sthitavantaH|
30 Yet truly, the sailors were seeking a way to flee from the ship, for they had lowered a lifeboat into the sea, on the pretext that they were attempting to cast anchors from the bow of the ship.
kintu potIyalokAH potAgrabhAge laGgaranikSepaM chalaM kRtvA jaladhau kSudranAvam avarohya palAyitum aceSTanta|
31 So Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these men remain in the ship, you will not be able to be saved.”
tataH paulaH senApataye sainyagaNAya ca kathitavAn, ete yadi potamadhye na tiSThanti tarhi yuSmAkaM rakSaNaM na zakyaM|
32 Then the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat, and they allowed it to fall.
tadA senAgaNo rajjUn chitvA nAvaM jale patitum adadAt|
33 And when it began to be light, Paul requested that they all take food, saying: “This is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting and continuing to fast, taking nothing.
prabhAtasamaye paulaH sarvvAn janAn bhojanArthaM prArthya vyAharat, adya caturdazadinAni yAvad yUyam apekSamAnA anAhArAH kAlam ayApayata kimapi nAbhuMgdhaM|
34 For this reason, I beg you to accept food for the sake of your health. For not a hair from the head of any of you shall perish.”
ato vinaye'haM bhakSyaM bhujyatAM tato yuSmAkaM maGgalaM bhaviSyati, yuSmAkaM kasyacijjanasya zirasaH kezaikopi na naMkSyati|
35 And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to eat.
iti vyAhRtya paulaM pUpaM gRhItvezvaraM dhanyaM bhASamANastaM bhaMktvA bhoktum ArabdhavAn|
36 Then they all became more peaceful in soul. And they also took food.
anantaraM sarvve ca susthirAH santaH khAdyAni parpyagRhlan|
37 Truly, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
asmAkaM pote SaTsaptatyadhikazatadvayalokA Asan|
38 And having been nourished with food, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
sarvveSu lokeSu yatheSTaM bhuktavatsu potasthan godhUmAn jaladhau nikSipya taiH potasya bhAro laghUkRtaH|
39 And when day had arrived, they did not recognize the landscape. Yet truly, they caught sight of a certain narrow inlet having a shore, into which they thought it might be possible to force the ship.
dine jAte'pi sa ko deza iti tadA na paryyacIyata; kintu tatra samataTam ekaM khAtaM dRSTvA yadi zaknumastarhi vayaM tasyAbhyantaraM potaM gamayAma iti matiM kRtvA te laGgarAn chittvA jaladhau tyaktavantaH|
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, at the same time loosing the restraints of the rudders. And so, raising the mainsail to the gusting wind, they pressed on toward the shore.
tathA karNabandhanaM mocayitvA pradhAnaM vAtavasanam uttolya tIrasamIpaM gatavantaH|
41 And when we happened upon a place open to two seas, they ran the ship aground. And indeed, the bow, being immobilized, remained fixed, but truly the stern was broken by the violence of the sea.
kintu dvayoH samudrayoH saGgamasthAne saikatopari pote nikSipte 'grabhAge bAdhite pazcAdbhAge prabalataraGgo'lagat tena poto bhagnaH|
42 Then the soldiers were in agreement that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone, after escaping by swimming, might flee.
tasmAd bandayazced bAhubhistarantaH palAyante ityAzaGkayA senAgaNastAn hantum amantrayat;
43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, prohibited it from being done. And he ordered those who were able to swim to jump in first, and to escape, and to get to the land.
kintu zatasenApatiH paulaM rakSituM prayatnaM kRtvA tAn tacceSTAyA nivartya ityAdiSTavAn, ye bAhutaraNaM jAnanti te'gre prollampya samudre patitvA bAhubhistIrttvA kUlaM yAntu|
44 And as for the others, some they carried on boards, and others on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it happened that every soul escaped to the land.
