Acts 27
1 Now when it was concluded, that we should sayle into Italie, they deliuered both Paul, and certaine other prisoners vnto a Centurion named Iulius, of the band of Augustus.
Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ,
2 And we entred into a ship of Adramyttium purposing to saile by the coastes of Asia, and launched foorth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia, a Thessalonian, with vs.
ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
3 And the next day we arriued at Sidon: and Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to go vnto his friends, that they might refresh him.
Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
4 And from thence we launched, and sayled hard by Cyprus, because ye windes were contrarie.
Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
5 Then sayled we ouer the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a citie in Lycia.
Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ:
6 And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein.
et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
7 And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to Salmone,
Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem:
8 And with much adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea.
et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa.
9 So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them,
Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
10 And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.
dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.
11 Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.
Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.
12 And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.
Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phœnicen hiemare, portum Cretæ respicientem ad Africum et ad Corum.
13 And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.
Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
14 But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.
Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.
Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16 And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat.
In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
17 Which they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.
Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
18 The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.
Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt:
19 And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.
et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt.
20 And when neither sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away.
Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.
21 But after long abstinece, Paul stood forth in the mids of them, and said, Syrs, ye should haue hearkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candie: so should ye haue gained this hurt and losse.
Et cum multa jejunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit: Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere injuriam hanc et jacturam.
22 But now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shalbe no losse of any mans life among you, saue of the ship onely.
Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse: amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.
23 For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whome I serue,
Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio,
24 Saying, Feare not, Paul: for thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath giuen vnto thee freely all that sayle with thee.
dicens: Ne timeas, Paule: Cæsari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good courage: for I beleeue God, that it shall be so as it hath bene tolde me.
Propter quod bono animo estote, viri: credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26 Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland.
In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire.
27 And when ye fourteenth night was come, as we were caried to and from in the Adriaticall sea about midnight, the shipmen deemed that some countrey approched vnto them,
Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28 And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and found fifteene fathoms.
Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
29 Then fearing least they should haue fallen into some rough places, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished that the day were come.
Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri.
30 Nowe as the mariners were about to flee out of the ship, and had let downe the boat into the sea vnder a colour as though they would haue cast ankers out of the foreship,
Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,
31 Paul sayde vnto the Centurion and the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye can not be safe.
dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
32 Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away.
Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.
33 And when it began to be day, Paul exhorted them all to take meate, saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, receiuing nothing:
Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
34 Wherefore I exhort you to take meate: for this is for your safegarde: for there shall not an heare fall from the head of any of you.
Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
35 And when he had thus spoken, hee tooke bread and gaue thankes to God, in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eate.
Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.
36 Then were they all of good courage, and they also tooke meate.
Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
37 Nowe we were in the ship in all two hundreth three score and sixteene soules.
Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.
38 And whe they had eaten ynough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare.
39 And when it was day, they knewe not the countrey, but they spied a certaine creeke with a banke, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) to thrust in the ship.
Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem.
40 So when they had taken vp the ankers, they committed the ship vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and drewe to the shore.
Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.
41 And when they fell into a place, where two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stucke fast, and could not be moued, but the hinderpart was broken with the violence of the waues.
Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
42 Then the souldiers counsell was to kill the prisoners, least any of them, when he had swomme out, should flee away.
Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret.
43 But the Centurion willing to saue Paul, stayed them from this counsell, and commanded that they that coulde swimme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and goe out to land:
Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: jussitque eos qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:
44 And the other, some on boardes, and some on certaine pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they came all safe to land.
et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
