< 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.

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.

3 The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.

4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.

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.

8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛⲣϩⲃⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲕⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ
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."
ⲓ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲥⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ
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.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲣ ϩⲙⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲁⲩⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
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.
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 the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲣⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲩⲧⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲁⲗⲁⲥⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲕⲁ ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲣⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲛ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲕⲩⲗⲱⲛ
15 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲙⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲁⲛⲕⲁⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

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.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛⲥⲉϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲉϥⲟ ⲛϩⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.

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.

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.
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 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

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.

28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.

29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.

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,
ⲗ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲛⲉⲉϥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲕⲁⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲩϭⲛⲗⲟⲓϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲛⲉϫ ϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲑⲏ

32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.

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.

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."

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.

36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

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.

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.

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.

42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

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;

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.
