Acts 27
1 And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,
Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ,
2 and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,
ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
3 on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, permitted [him], having gone on to friends, to receive [their] care.
Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
4 And there, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,
Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
5 and having sailed over the sea down by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,
Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ:
6 and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, put us into it,
et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
7 and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming down by Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete, down by Salmone,
Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem:
8 and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa.
9 And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,
Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
10 saying to them, “Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the load and of the ship, but also of our lives—the voyage is about to be”;
dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.
11 but the centurion gave more credence to the pilot and to the shipowner than to the things spoken by Paul;
Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.
12 and the haven being not well placed to winter in, the greater part gave counsel to sail from there, if somehow they might be able, having attained to Phoenix, to winter [there], [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest,
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 a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
14 and not long after, there came down from it a turbulent wind [that] is called the Euroclydon,
Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
15 and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were carried on,
Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16 and having run under a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
17 which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall into the [sandbars of] Syrtis, having let down the mast—so were carried on.
Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
18 And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt:
19 and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands,
et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt.
20 and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little storm lying on us, from then on all hope was taken away of our being saved.
Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.
21 And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, “It was necessary, indeed, O men—having listened to me—not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
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 and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you—but of the ship;
Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse: amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.
23 for this night there stood by me a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve—
Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio,
24 saying, Do not be afraid Paul; it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you;
dicens: Ne timeas, Paule: Cæsari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum.
25 for this reason be of good cheer, men! For I believe God, that so it will be, even as it has been spoken to me,
Propter quod bono animo estote, viri: credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26 and on a certain island it is necessary for us to be cast.”
In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire.
27 And when the fourteenth night came—we being carried up and down in the Adria—toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew near to them;
Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28 and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,
Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
29 and fearing lest we may fall on rough places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were wishing day to come.
Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri.
30 And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretense as [if] out of the prow they are about to cast anchors,
Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “If these do not remain in the ship—you are not able to be saved”;
dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
32 then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and permitted it to fall off.
Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.
33 And until the day was about to be, Paul was calling on all to partake of nourishment, saying, “Fourteen days today, waiting, you continue fasting, having taken nothing,
Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
34 for this reason I call on you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you will a hair fall from the head”;
Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
35 and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;
Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.
36 and all having become of good cheer, also took food themselves,
Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
37 (and we were—all the souls in the ship—two hundred, seventy-six),
Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.
38 and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.
Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare.
39 And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but were perceiving a certain bay having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,
Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem.
40 and having taken up the anchors, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time—having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the foresail to the wind—they were making for the shore,
Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.
41 and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the prow, indeed, having stuck fast, remained immoveable, but the stern was broken by the violence of the waves.
Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone having swam out should escape,
Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret.
43 but the centurion, resolving to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and commanded those able to swim, having cast themselves out first—to get to the 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 rest, some indeed on boards, and some on certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
