9 And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
and said to them, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."
11 But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.
But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.
Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.
13 And [the] south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
15 And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven [before it].
When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
16 But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat;

17 which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.
After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.

20 And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.

21 And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss.
When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee.
saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25 Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 But we must be cast ashore on a certain island.
But we must run aground on a certain island."
27 And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them,

28 and having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they found fifteen fathoms;
They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow,
As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 And while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.
While the day was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Wherefore I exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.
Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
35 And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat.
When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.
36 And all taking courage, themselves also took food.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
40 and, having cast off the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.
Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.
But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
42 And [the] counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first [into the sea], to get out on land;
But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;
44 and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things [that came] from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.
and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.
