Acts 27
1 When the time came for us to sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion called Julius of the Imperial Regiment.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲧⲁⲗⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲏⲣ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲟⲩⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲓⲣⲁ ⲛⲥⲉⲃⲁⲥⲧⲏ
2 We boarded a ship based in Adramyttium that was headed to the coastal ports of the province of Asia, and we set sail. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲛⲁⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲣⲁⲙⲩⲇⲇⲏ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲣϩⲱⲧ ⲉⲙⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲉⲥⲥⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ
3 The next day we had a brief stop at Sidon, and Julius was kind enough to let Paul go ashore and visit his friends so they could provide what he needed.

4 We set out from there and sailed to the leeward of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

5 Then we sailed directly across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, arriving at the port of Myra in Lycia.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲡⲉⲗⲁⲕⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲕⲓⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲡⲁⲙⲫⲩⲗⲓⲁ ⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲙⲩⲣⲣⲁ ⲛⲧⲗⲩⲕⲓⲁ
6 There the centurion found a ship from Alexandria that would be sailing to Italy, and arranged for us to join it.

7 We sailed slowly for several days and eventually arrived off Cnidus. But since the winds wouldn't allow us to continue we sailed across to the lee of Crete, near to Salmone.
ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲡⲱϩ ⲉⲕⲛⲓⲧⲏ ⲙⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲕⲱⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲁⲗⲙⲟⲛⲏ
8 With some difficulty we made our way along the coast until we arrived at a place called Fair Havens, near to the town of Lasea.
ⲏ̅ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲥⲁⲁⲧⲥ ⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲗⲁⲥⲟⲥ
9 We'd lost a lot of time, and the voyage was becoming dangerous because it was now after the Fast. Paul warned them,
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛⲣϩⲃⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲕⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ
10 “Men, I predict that this voyage will result in much hardship and loss—not just of the cargo and the ship, but also our very lives.”
ⲓ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲥⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ
11 But the centurion paid more attention to the advice of the ship's captain and its owner than to what Paul said.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲣ ϩⲙⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲁⲩⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
12 Since the harbor was not large enough to over-winter in, the majority were in favor of leaving and trying if possible to reach Phoenix and spend the winter there—a harbor in Crete that faces northwest and southwest.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲡⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲧⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ϫⲓ ϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲉⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲛⲁϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲟⲩⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡϩⲏⲛⲓⲝ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏ ⲛⲥⲉⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ ⲉⲡⲉⲙⲛⲧ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ
13 When a moderate south wind began to blow, they thought they could do what they planned. They pulled up the anchor and sailed close inshore along the coast of Crete.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲣⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲩⲧⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲁⲗⲁⲥⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲕⲁ ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ
14 But it wasn't long before a hurricane-force wind called a “northeaster” blew from the land.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲣⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲛ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲕⲩⲗⲱⲛ
15 The ship was forced out to sea and could not face into the wind. So we had to give in and allow ourselves to be driven before the wind.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲙⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲁⲛⲕⲁⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ
16 We were eventually able to run into the lee of a small island called Cauda, and managed with some difficulty to secure the ship's boat on board.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲛⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲗⲁⲩⲇⲓⲁ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲛϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲕⲁⲫⲏ
17 After hoisting it aboard, the sailors bound ropes around the hull to strengthen it. Then, worried that they would be wrecked on the Syrtis banks, they lowered the sea anchor and allowed the ship to be driven along.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛⲥⲉϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲉϥⲟ ⲛϩⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
18 The following day as we were violently thrown about by the storm, the crew started throwing the cargo overboard.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲭⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲛⲁⲁⲩ
19 On the third day they grabbed the ship's gear and tossed it into the sea.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫ ⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
20 We hadn't seen the sun or the stars for many days as the storm beat down on us; so any hope of our being saved was lost.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲙⲛⲣⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲡⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲭⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϩⲓϫⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
21 Nobody had eaten anything for a long time. Then Paul stood before them and told them, “Men, you should have listened to me and not sailed from Crete. Then you could have avoided all this hardship and loss.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉϣϣⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲉⲧⲙⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲓⲟⲥⲉ
22 But now I advise you keep up your courage, because nobody is going to be lost, just the ship.

23 Last night an angel of my God and whom I serve, stood beside me.

24 ‘Don't be afraid, Paul,’ he told me. ‘You have to stand trial before Caesar. See, God has graciously given to you everyone who is sailing with you.’

25 So men, have courage! I trust God, and I'm convinced things will happen just as I was told.

26 However, we will be wrecked on some island.”
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ
27 At around midnight on the fourteenth night of the storm, still being blown over the Sea of Adria, the crew suspected they were getting close to land.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲉϩⲙⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲣⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲛⲉⲉϥ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲭⲱⲣⲁ
28 They checked the depth and found it was forty meters, and a little while later they checked again and it was thirty meters.

29 They were concerned that we might be wrecked on rocks, so they dropped four anchors from the stern, and prayed for daylight to come.

30 The crew tried to leave the ship, and had lowered the ship's boat into the water with the pretext that they were going to drop anchors from the ship's bow.
ⲗ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲛⲉⲉϥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲕⲁⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲩϭⲛⲗⲟⲓϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲛⲉϫ ϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲑⲏ
31 But Paul told the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless the crew stays with the ship, you will be lost.”
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲫⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲱ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes holding the ship's boat, and let it loose.

33 At daybreak Paul urged all of them to eat something. “It's been fourteen days now that you haven't eaten anything because you've been so worried and preoccupied,” he told them.

34 “Please do what I say and eat some food. This will help give you strength. For not even a hair from anyone's head is going to be lost!”

35 When he'd finished speaking he picked up a loaf of bread, and gave thanks to God for it in front of everyone. Then he broke the bread, and began to eat.

36 Everyone was encouraged and they ate too.

37 The total number of people on board was two hundred and seventy-six.

38 Once they'd had enough to eat, the crew made the ship lighter by throwing the supplies of wheat overboard.

39 When dawn came they didn't recognize the coastline, but they saw a bay that had a beach. They planned to try running the ship aground there.

40 So they cut the anchor ropes, leaving the anchors in the sea. At the same time they untied the ropes holding the rudders, raised the foresail to the wind, and made for the beach.
ⲙ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲉⲕⲙ ⲛϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ϩⲁⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲕⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛϩⲓⲏⲩ ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛⲧϭⲓⲥⲗⲁⲩⲟ ⲁⲩⲣϩⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ
41 But they struck a sandbar and the ship grounded. The bow hit, and stuck so firm it couldn't be moved, while the stern began to be broken apart by the pounding surf.

43 But the centurion, because he wanted to save Paul's life, prevented them from doing this, and ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for land.
