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.
jalapathenāsmākam itoliyādeśaṁ prati yātrāyāṁ niścitāyāṁ satyāṁ te yūliyanāmno mahārājasya saṁghātāntargatasya senāpateḥ samīpe paulaṁ tadanyān katinayajanāṁśca samārpayan|
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.
vayam ādrāmuttīyaṁ potamekam āruhya āśiyādeśasya taṭasamīpena yātuṁ matiṁ kṛtvā laṅgaram utthāpya potam amocayāma; mākidaniyādeśasthathiṣalanīkīnivāsyāristārkhanāmā kaścid jano'smābhiḥ sārddham āsīt|
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.
parasmin divase 'smābhiḥ sīdonnagare pote lāgite tatra yūliyaḥ senāpatiḥ paulaṁ prati saujanyaṁ pradarthya sāntvanārthaṁ bandhubāndhavān upayātum anujajñau|
4 And from thence we launched, and sayled hard by Cyprus, because ye windes were contrarie.
tasmāt pote mocite sati sammukhavāyoḥ sambhavād vayaṁ kupropadvīpasya tīrasamīpena gatavantaḥ|
5 Then sayled we ouer the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a citie in Lycia.
kilikiyāyāḥ pāmphūliyāyāśca samudrasya pāraṁ gatvā lūkiyādeśāntargataṁ murānagaram upātiṣṭhāma|
6 And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein.
tatsthānād itāliyādeśaṁ gacchati yaḥ sikandariyānagarasya potastaṁ tatra prāpya śatasenāpatistaṁ potam asmān ārohayat|
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,
tataḥ paraṁ bahūni dināni śanaiḥ śanaiḥ rgatvā knīdapārśvopasthtiḥ pūrvvaṁ pratikūlena pavanena vayaṁ salmonyāḥ sammukham upasthāya krītyupadvīpasya tīrasamīpena gatavantaḥ|
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.
kaṣṭena tamuttīryya lāseyānagarasyādhaḥ sundaranāmakaṁ khātam upātiṣṭhāma|
9 So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them,
itthaṁ bahutithaḥ kālo yāpita upavāsadinañcātītaṁ, tatkāraṇāt nauvartmani bhayaṅkare sati paulo vinayena kathitavān,
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.
he mahecchā ahaṁ niścayaṁ jānāmi yātrāyāmasyām asmākaṁ kleśā bahūnāmapacayāśca bhaviṣyanti, te kevalaṁ potasāmagryoriti nahi, kintvasmākaṁ prāṇānāmapi|
11 Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.
tadā śatasenāpatiḥ pauloktavākyatopi karṇadhārasya potavaṇijaśca vākyaṁ bahumaṁsta|
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.
tat khātaṁ śītakāle vāsārhasthānaṁ na tasmād avācīpratīcordiśoḥ krītyāḥ phainīkiyakhātaṁ yātuṁ yadi śaknuvantastarhi tatra śītakālaṁ yāpayituṁ prāyeṇa sarvve mantrayāmāsuḥ|
13 And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.
tataḥ paraṁ dakṣiṇavāyu rmandaṁ vahatīti vilokya nijābhiprāyasya siddheḥ suyogo bhavatīti buddhvā potaṁ mocayitvā krītyupadvīpasya tīrasamīpena calitavantaḥ|
14 But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.
kintvalpakṣaṇāt parameva urakludonnāmā pratikūlaḥ pracaṇḍo vāyu rvahan pote'lagīt
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.
tasyābhimukhaṁ gantum potasyāśaktatvād vayaṁ vāyunā svayaṁ nītāḥ|
16 And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat.
anantaraṁ klaudīnāmna upadvīpasya kūlasamīpena potaṁ gamayitvā bahunā kaṣṭena kṣudranāvam arakṣāma|
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.
te tāmāruhya rajjcā potasyādhobhāgam abadhnan tadanantaraṁ cet poto saikate lagatīti bhayād vātavasanānyamocayan tataḥ poto vāyunā cālitaḥ|
18 The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.
kintu kramaśo vāyoḥ prabalatvāt poto dolāyamāno'bhavat parasmin divase potasthāni katipayāni dravyāṇi toye nikṣiptāni|
19 And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.
tṛtīyadivase vayaṁ svahastaiḥ potasajjanadravyāṇi nikṣiptavantaḥ|
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.
tato bahudināni yāvat sūryyanakṣatrādīni samācchannāni tato 'tīva vātyāgamād asmākaṁ prāṇarakṣāyāḥ kāpi pratyāśā nātiṣṭhat|
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.
bahudineṣu lokairanāhāreṇa yāpiteṣu sarvveṣāṁ sākṣat paulastiṣṭhan akathayat, he mahecchāḥ krītyupadvīpāt potaṁ na mocayitum ahaṁ pūrvvaṁ yad avadaṁ tadgrahaṇaṁ yuṣmākam ucitam āsīt tathā kṛte yuṣmākam eṣā vipad eṣo'pacayaśca nāghaṭiṣyetām|
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.
kintu sāmprataṁ yuṣmān vinīya bravīmyahaṁ, yūyaṁ na kṣubhyata yuṣmākam ekasyāpi prāṇino hāni rna bhaviṣyati, kevalasya potasya hāni rbhaviṣyati|
23 For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whome I serue,
yato yasyeśvarasya loko'haṁ yañcāhaṁ paricarāmi tadīya eko dūto hyo rātrau mamāntike tiṣṭhan kathitavān,
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.
he paula mā bhaiṣīḥ kaisarasya sammukhe tvayopasthātavyaṁ; tavaitān saṅgino lokān īśvarastubhyaṁ dattavān|
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good courage: for I beleeue God, that it shall be so as it hath bene tolde me.
ataeva he mahecchā yūyaṁ sthiramanaso bhavata mahyaṁ yā kathākathi sāvaśyaṁ ghaṭiṣyate mamaitādṛśī viśvāsa īśvare vidyate,
26 Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland.
kintu kasyacid upadvīpasyopari patitavyam asmābhiḥ|
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,
tataḥ param ādriyāsamudre potastathaiva dolāyamānaḥ san itastato gacchan caturdaśadivasasya rātre rdvitīyapraharasamaye kasyacit sthalasya samīpamupatiṣṭhatīti potīyalokā anvamanyanta|
28 And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and found fifteene fathoms.
tataste jalaṁ parimāya tatra viṁśati rvyāmā jalānīti jñātavantaḥ| kiñciddūraṁ gatvā punarapi jalaṁ parimitavantaḥ| tatra pañcadaśa vyāmā jalāni dṛṣṭvā
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.
cet pāṣāṇe lagatīti bhayāt potasya paścādbhāgataścaturo laṅgarān nikṣipya divākaram apekṣya sarvve sthitavantaḥ|
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,
kintu potīyalokāḥ potāgrabhāge laṅgaranikṣepaṁ chalaṁ kṛtvā jaladhau kṣudranāvam avarohya palāyitum aceṣṭanta|
31 Paul sayde vnto the Centurion and the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye can not be safe.
tataḥ paulaḥ senāpataye sainyagaṇāya ca kathitavān, ete yadi potamadhye na tiṣṭhanti tarhi yuṣmākaṁ rakṣaṇaṁ na śakyaṁ|
32 Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away.
tadā senāgaṇo rajjūn chitvā nāvaṁ jale patitum adadāt|
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:
prabhātasamaye paulaḥ sarvvān janān bhojanārthaṁ prārthya vyāharat, adya caturdaśadināni yāvad yūyam apekṣamānā anāhārāḥ kālam ayāpayata kimapi nābhuṁgdhaṁ|
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.
ato vinaye'haṁ bhakṣyaṁ bhujyatāṁ tato yuṣmākaṁ maṅgalaṁ bhaviṣyati, yuṣmākaṁ kasyacijjanasya śirasaḥ keśaikopi na naṁkṣyati|
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.
iti vyāhṛtya paulaṁ pūpaṁ gṛhītveśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ bhāṣamāṇastaṁ bhaṁktvā bhoktum ārabdhavān|
36 Then were they all of good courage, and they also tooke meate.
anantaraṁ sarvve ca susthirāḥ santaḥ khādyāni parpyagṛhlan|
37 Nowe we were in the ship in all two hundreth three score and sixteene soules.
asmākaṁ pote ṣaṭsaptatyadhikaśatadvayalokā āsan|
38 And whe they had eaten ynough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
sarvveṣu lokeṣu yatheṣṭaṁ bhuktavatsu potasthan godhūmān jaladhau nikṣipya taiḥ potasya bhāro laghūkṛtaḥ|
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.
dine jāte'pi sa ko deśa iti tadā na paryyacīyata; kintu tatra samataṭam ekaṁ khātaṁ dṛṣṭvā yadi śaknumastarhi vayaṁ tasyābhyantaraṁ potaṁ gamayāma iti matiṁ kṛtvā te laṅgarān chittvā jaladhau tyaktavantaḥ|
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.
tathā karṇabandhanaṁ mocayitvā pradhānaṁ vātavasanam uttolya tīrasamīpaṁ gatavantaḥ|
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.
kintu dvayoḥ samudrayoḥ saṅgamasthāne saikatopari pote nikṣipte 'grabhāge bādhite paścādbhāge prabalataraṅgo'lagat tena poto bhagnaḥ|
42 Then the souldiers counsell was to kill the prisoners, least any of them, when he had swomme out, should flee away.
tasmād bandayaśced bāhubhistarantaḥ palāyante ityāśaṅkayā senāgaṇastān hantum amantrayat;
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:
kintu śatasenāpatiḥ paulaṁ rakṣituṁ prayatnaṁ kṛtvā tān tacceṣṭāyā nivartya ityādiṣṭavān, ye bāhutaraṇaṁ jānanti te'gre prollampya samudre patitvā bāhubhistīrttvā kūlaṁ yāntu|
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.
aparam avaśiṣṭā janāḥ kāṣṭhaṁ potīyaṁ dravyaṁ vā yena yat prāpyate tadavalambya yāntu; itthaṁ sarvve bhūmiṁ prāpya prāṇai rjīvitāḥ|
