Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy, and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,
jalapathenAsmAkam itoliyAdezaM prati yAtrAyAM nizcitAyAM satyAM te yUliyanAmno mahArAjasya saMghAtAntargatasya senApateH samIpe paulaM tadanyAn katinayajanAMzca samArpayan|
2 Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
vayam AdrAmuttIyaM potamekam Aruhya AziyAdezasya taTasamIpena yAtuM matiM kRtvA laGgaram utthApya potam amocayAma; mAkidaniyAdezasthathiSalanIkInivAsyAristArkhanAmA kazcid jano'smAbhiH sArddham AsIt|
3 And the day following we came to Sidon. And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.
parasmin divase 'smAbhiH sIdonnagare pote lAgite tatra yUliyaH senApatiH paulaM prati saujanyaM pradarthya sAntvanArthaM bandhubAndhavAn upayAtum anujajJau|
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
tasmAt pote mocite sati sammukhavAyoH sambhavAd vayaM kupropadvIpasya tIrasamIpena gatavantaH|
5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
kilikiyAyAH pAmphUliyAyAzca samudrasya pAraM gatvA lUkiyAdezAntargataM murAnagaram upAtiSThAma|
6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.

7 And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:
tataH paraM bahUni dinAni zanaiH zanaiH rgatvA knIdapArzvopasthtiH pUrvvaM pratikUlena pavanena vayaM salmonyAH sammukham upasthAya krItyupadvIpasya tIrasamIpena gatavantaH|
8 And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.
kaSTena tamuttIryya lAseyAnagarasyAdhaH sundaranAmakaM khAtam upAtiSThAma|
9 And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
itthaM bahutithaH kAlo yApita upavAsadinaJcAtItaM, tatkAraNAt nauvartmani bhayaGkare sati paulo vinayena kathitavAn,
10 Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
he mahecchA ahaM nizcayaM jAnAmi yAtrAyAmasyAm asmAkaM klezA bahUnAmapacayAzca bhaviSyanti, te kevalaM potasAmagryoriti nahi, kintvasmAkaM prANAnAmapi|
11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
tadA zatasenApatiH pauloktavAkyatopi karNadhArasya potavaNijazca vAkyaM bahumaMsta|
12 And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.
tat khAtaM zItakAle vAsArhasthAnaM na tasmAd avAcIpratIcordizoH krItyAH phainIkiyakhAtaM yAtuM yadi zaknuvantastarhi tatra zItakAlaM yApayituM prAyeNa sarvve mantrayAmAsuH|
13 And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.

14 But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
kintvalpakSaNAt parameva urakludonnAmA pratikUlaH pracaNDo vAyu rvahan pote'lagIt
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
tasyAbhimukhaM gantum potasyAzaktatvAd vayaM vAyunA svayaM nItAH|
16 And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
anantaraM klaudInAmna upadvIpasya kUlasamIpena potaM gamayitvA bahunA kaSTena kSudranAvam arakSAma|
17 Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.
te tAmAruhya rajjcA potasyAdhobhAgam abadhnan tadanantaraM cet poto saikate lagatIti bhayAd vAtavasanAnyamocayan tataH poto vAyunA cAlitaH|
18 And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
kintu kramazo vAyoH prabalatvAt poto dolAyamAno'bhavat parasmin divase potasthAni katipayAni dravyANi toye nikSiptAni|
19 And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
tRtIyadivase vayaM svahastaiH potasajjanadravyANi nikSiptavantaH|
20 And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
tato bahudinAni yAvat sUryyanakSatrAdIni samAcchannAni tato 'tIva vAtyAgamAd asmAkaM prANarakSAyAH kApi pratyAzA nAtiSThat|
21 And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.
bahudineSu lokairanAhAreNa yApiteSu sarvveSAM sAkSat paulastiSThan akathayat, he mahecchAH krItyupadvIpAt potaM na mocayitum ahaM pUrvvaM yad avadaM tadgrahaNaM yuSmAkam ucitam AsIt tathA kRte yuSmAkam eSA vipad eSo'pacayazca nAghaTiSyetAm|
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but only of the ship.
kintu sAmprataM yuSmAn vinIya bravImyahaM, yUyaM na kSubhyata yuSmAkam ekasyApi prANino hAni rna bhaviSyati, kevalasya potasya hAni rbhaviSyati|
23 For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
yato yasyezvarasya loko'haM yaJcAhaM paricarAmi tadIya eko dUto hyo rAtrau mamAntike tiSThan kathitavAn,
24 Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
he paula mA bhaiSIH kaisarasya sammukhe tvayopasthAtavyaM; tavaitAn saGgino lokAn IzvarastubhyaM dattavAn|
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
ataeva he mahecchA yUyaM sthiramanaso bhavata mahyaM yA kathAkathi sAvazyaM ghaTiSyate mamaitAdRzI vizvAsa Izvare vidyate,
26 And we must come unto a certain island.

27 But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
tataH param AdriyAsamudre potastathaiva dolAyamAnaH san itastato gacchan caturdazadivasasya rAtre rdvitIyapraharasamaye kasyacit sthalasya samIpamupatiSThatIti potIyalokA anvamanyanta|
28 Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.

29 Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
cet pASANe lagatIti bhayAt potasya pazcAdbhAgatazcaturo laGgarAn nikSipya divAkaram apekSya sarvve sthitavantaH|
30 But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,
kintu potIyalokAH potAgrabhAge laGgaranikSepaM chalaM kRtvA jaladhau kSudranAvam avarohya palAyitum aceSTanta|
31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
tataH paulaH senApataye sainyagaNAya ca kathitavAn, ete yadi potamadhye na tiSThanti tarhi yuSmAkaM rakSaNaM na zakyaM|
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
tadA senAgaNo rajjUn chitvA nAvaM jale patitum adadAt|
33 And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited, and continued fasting, taking nothing.
prabhAtasamaye paulaH sarvvAn janAn bhojanArthaM prArthya vyAharat, adya caturdazadinAni yAvad yUyam apekSamAnA anAhArAH kAlam ayApayata kimapi nAbhuMgdhaM|
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health’s sake; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you 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 were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.
anantaraM sarvve ca susthirAH santaH khAdyAni parpyagRhlan|
37 And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
asmAkaM pote SaTsaptatyadhikazatadvayalokA Asan|
38 And when they had eaten enough, 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 it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in 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, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.
tathA karNabandhanaM mocayitvA pradhAnaM vAtavasanam uttolya tIrasamIpaM gatavantaH|
41 And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.
kintu dvayoH samudrayoH saGgamasthAne saikatopari pote nikSipte 'grabhAge bAdhite pazcAdbhAge prabalataraGgo'lagat tena poto bhagnaH|
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
tasmAd bandayazced bAhubhistarantaH palAyante ityAzaGkayA senAgaNastAn hantum amantrayat;
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.
kintu zatasenApatiH paulaM rakSituM prayatnaM kRtvA tAn tacceSTAyA nivartya ityAdiSTavAn, ye bAhutaraNaM jAnanti te'gre prollampya samudre patitvA bAhubhistIrttvA kUlaM yAntu|
44 And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
