Acts 27
1 When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
जलपथेनास्माकम् इतोलियादेशं प्रति यात्रायां निश्चितायां सत्यां ते यूलियनाम्नो महाराजस्य संघातान्तर्गतस्य सेनापतेः समीपे पौलं तदन्यान् कतिनयजनांश्च समार्पयन्।
2 Embarking in a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
वयम् आद्रामुत्तीयं पोतमेकम् आरुह्य आशियादेशस्य तटसमीपेन यातुं मतिं कृत्वा लङ्गरम् उत्थाप्य पोतम् अमोचयाम; माकिदनियादेशस्थथिषलनीकीनिवास्यारिस्तार्खनामा कश्चिद् जनोऽस्माभिः सार्द्धम् आसीत्।
3 The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
परस्मिन् दिवसे ऽस्माभिः सीदोन्नगरे पोते लागिते तत्र यूलियः सेनापतिः पौलं प्रति सौजन्यं प्रदर्थ्य सान्त्वनार्थं बन्धुबान्धवान् उपयातुम् अनुजज्ञौ।
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
तस्मात् पोते मोचिते सति सम्मुखवायोः सम्भवाद् वयं कुप्रोपद्वीपस्य तीरसमीपेन गतवन्तः।
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
किलिकियायाः पाम्फूलियायाश्च समुद्रस्य पारं गत्वा लूकियादेशान्तर्गतं मुरानगरम् उपातिष्ठाम।
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
तत्स्थानाद् इतालियादेशं गच्छति यः सिकन्दरियानगरस्य पोतस्तं तत्र प्राप्य शतसेनापतिस्तं पोतम् अस्मान् आरोहयत्।
7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
ततः परं बहूनि दिनानि शनैः शनैः र्गत्वा क्नीदपार्श्वोपस्थ्तिेः पूर्व्वं प्रतिकूलेन पवनेन वयं सल्मोन्याः सम्मुखम् उपस्थाय क्रीत्युपद्वीपस्य तीरसमीपेन गतवन्तः।
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
कष्टेन तमुत्तीर्य्य लासेयानगरस्याधः सुन्दरनामकं खातम् उपातिष्ठाम।
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
इत्थं बहुतिथः कालो यापित उपवासदिनञ्चातीतं, तत्कारणात् नौवर्त्मनि भयङ्करे सति पौलो विनयेन कथितवान्,
10 and said to them, "Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."
हे महेच्छा अहं निश्चयं जानामि यात्रायामस्याम् अस्माकं क्लेशा बहूनामपचयाश्च भविष्यन्ति, ते केवलं पोतसामग्र्योरिति नहि, किन्त्वस्माकं प्राणानामपि।
11 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
तदा शतसेनापतिः पौैेलोक्तवाक्यतोपि कर्णधारस्य पोतवणिजश्च वाक्यं बहुमंस्त।
12 Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.
तत् खातं शीतकाले वासार्हस्थानं न तस्माद् अवाचीप्रतीचोर्दिशोः क्रीत्याः फैनीकियखातं यातुं यदि शक्नुवन्तस्तर्हि तत्र शीतकालं यापयितुं प्रायेण सर्व्वे मन्त्रयामासुः।
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
ततः परं दक्षिणवायु र्मन्दं वहतीति विलोक्य निजाभिप्रायस्य सिद्धेः सुयोगो भवतीति बुद्ध्वा पोतं मोचयित्वा क्रीत्युपद्वीपस्य तीरसमीपेन चलितवन्तः।
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
किन्त्वल्पक्षणात् परमेव उरक्लुदोन्नामा प्रतिकूलः प्रचण्डो वायु र्वहन् पोतेऽलगीत्
15 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
तस्याभिमुखं गन्तुम् पोतस्याशक्तत्वाद् वयं वायुना स्वयं नीताः।
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
अनन्तरं क्लौदीनाम्न उपद्वीपस्य कूलसमीपेन पोतं गमयित्वा बहुना कष्टेन क्षुद्रनावम् अरक्षाम।
17 After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
ते तामारुह्य रज्ज्चा पोतस्याधोभागम् अबध्नन् तदनन्तरं चेत् पोतो सैकते लगतीति भयाद् वातवसनान्यमोचयन् ततः पोतो वायुना चालितः।
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
किन्तु क्रमशो वायोः प्रबलत्वात् पोतो दोलायमानोऽभवत् परस्मिन् दिवसे पोतस्थानि कतिपयानि द्रव्याणि तोये निक्षिप्तानि।
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
तृतीयदिवसे वयं स्वहस्तैः पोतसज्जनद्रव्याणि निक्षिप्तवन्तः।
20 When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
ततो बहुदिनानि यावत् सूर्य्यनक्षत्रादीनि समाच्छन्नानि ततो ऽतीव वात्यागमाद् अस्माकं प्राणरक्षायाः कापि प्रत्याशा नातिष्ठत्।
21 When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
बहुदिनेषु लोकैरनाहारेण यापितेषु सर्व्वेषां साक्षत् पौलस्तिष्ठन् अकथयत्, हे महेच्छाः क्रीत्युपद्वीपात् पोतं न मोचयितुम् अहं पूर्व्वं यद् अवदं तद्ग्रहणं युष्माकम् उचितम् आसीत् तथा कृते युष्माकम् एषा विपद् एषोऽपचयश्च नाघटिष्येताम्।
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
किन्तु साम्प्रतं युष्मान् विनीय ब्रवीम्यहं, यूयं न क्षुभ्यत युष्माकम् एकस्यापि प्राणिनो हानि र्न भविष्यति, केवलस्य पोतस्य हानि र्भविष्यति।
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
यतो यस्येश्वरस्य लोकोऽहं यञ्चाहं परिचरामि तदीय एको दूतो ह्यो रात्रौ ममान्तिके तिष्ठन् कथितवान्,
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
हे पौल मा भैषीः कैसरस्य सम्मुखे त्वयोपस्थातव्यं; तवैतान् सङ्गिनो लोकान् ईश्वरस्तुभ्यं दत्तवान्।
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
अतएव हे महेच्छा यूयं स्थिरमनसो भवत मह्यं या कथाकथि सावश्यं घटिष्यते ममैतादृशी विश्वास ईश्वरे विद्यते,
26 But we must run aground on a certain island."
किन्तु कस्यचिद् उपद्वीपस्योपरि पतितव्यम् अस्माभिः।
27 But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
ततः परम् आद्रियासमुद्रे पोतस्तथैव दोलायमानः सन् इतस्ततो गच्छन् चतुर्दशदिवसस्य रात्रे र्द्वितीयप्रहरसमये कस्यचित् स्थलस्य समीपमुपतिष्ठतीति पोतीयलोका अन्वमन्यन्त।
28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
ततस्ते जलं परिमाय तत्र विंशति र्व्यामा जलानीति ज्ञातवन्तः। किञ्चिद्दूरं गत्वा पुनरपि जलं परिमितवन्तः। तत्र पञ्चदश व्यामा जलानि दृष्ट्वा
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
चेत् पाषाणे लगतीति भयात् पोतस्य पश्चाद्भागतश्चतुरो लङ्गरान् निक्षिप्य दिवाकरम् अपेक्ष्य सर्व्वे स्थितवन्तः।
30 As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
किन्तु पोतीयलोकाः पोताग्रभागे लङ्गरनिक्षेपं छलं कृत्वा जलधौ क्षुद्रनावम् अवरोह्य पलायितुम् अचेष्टन्त।
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
ततः पौलः सेनापतये सैन्यगणाय च कथितवान्, एते यदि पोतमध्ये न तिष्ठन्ति तर्हि युष्माकं रक्षणं न शक्यं।
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
तदा सेनागणो रज्जून् छित्वा नावं जले पतितुम् अददात्।
33 While the day was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
प्रभातसमये पौलः सर्व्वान् जनान् भोजनार्थं प्रार्थ्य व्याहरत्, अद्य चतुर्दशदिनानि यावद् यूयम् अपेक्षमाना अनाहाराः कालम् अयापयत किमपि नाभुंग्धं।
34 Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
अतो विनयेेऽहं भक्ष्यं भुज्यतां ततो युष्माकं मङ्गलं भविष्यति, युष्माकं कस्यचिज्जनस्य शिरसः केशैकोपि न नंक्ष्यति।
35 When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.
इति व्याहृत्य पौलं पूपं गृहीत्वेश्वरं धन्यं भाषमाणस्तं भंक्त्वा भोक्तुम् आरब्धवान्।
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
अनन्तरं सर्व्वे च सुस्थिराः सन्तः खाद्यानि पर्प्यगृह्लन्।
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
अस्माकं पोते षट्सप्तत्यधिकशतद्वयलोका आसन्।
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
सर्व्वेषु लोकेषु यथेष्टं भुक्तवत्सु पोतस्थन् गोधूमान् जलधौ निक्षिप्य तैः पोतस्य भारो लघूकृतः।
39 When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
दिने जातेऽपि स को देश इति तदा न पर्य्यचीयत; किन्तु तत्र समतटम् एकं खातं दृष्ट्वा यदि शक्नुमस्तर्हि वयं तस्याभ्यन्तरं पोतं गमयाम इति मतिं कृत्वा ते लङ्गरान् छित्त्वा जलधौ त्यक्तवन्तः।
40 Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
तथा कर्णबन्धनं मोचयित्वा प्रधानं वातवसनम् उत्तोल्य तीरसमीपं गतवन्तः।
41 But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
किन्तु द्वयोः समुद्रयोः सङ्गमस्थाने सैकतोपरि पोते निक्षिप्ते ऽग्रभागे बाधिते पश्चाद्भागे प्रबलतरङ्गोऽलगत् तेन पोतो भग्नः।
42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
तस्माद् बन्दयश्चेद् बाहुभिस्तरन्तः पलायन्ते इत्याशङ्कया सेनागणस्तान् हन्तुम् अमन्त्रयत्;
43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;
किन्तु शतसेनापतिः पौलं रक्षितुं प्रयत्नं कृत्वा तान् तच्चेष्टाया निवर्त्य इत्यादिष्टवान्, ये बाहुतरणं जानन्ति तेऽग्रे प्रोल्लम्प्य समुद्रे पतित्वा बाहुभिस्तीर्त्त्वा कूलं यान्तु।
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.
अपरम् अवशिष्टा जनाः काष्ठं पोतीयं द्रव्यं वा येन यत् प्राप्यते तदवलम्ब्य यान्तु; इत्थं सर्व्वे भूमिं प्राप्य प्राणै र्जीविताः।
