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.
And when it was determined that we should sail away into Italy, they committed both Paul and certain other prisoners to the centurion, Julius by name, of the band of Augustus.
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.
And having embarked on an Adramyttium ship, about to sail to those places along Asia, we set sail; Aristarchus, the 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.
And on the following day we disembarked at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, permitted him having gone to his friends to receive their benefactions.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And having embarked from thence, we sailed under 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.
and having sailed through the sea which is opposite Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down into Myra of Lycia.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
And there the centurion having found an Alexandrian ship sailing into Italy; transferred us into it.
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.
And sailing slowly during many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not favoring us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone;
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
and, with difficulty passing by it, we came into a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasea.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
And much time passing away, and navigation being already unsafe, because the Fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted them,
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."
saying to them, Men, I perceive that this voyage is going to be with peril and much loss, not only with the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
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.
But the centurion trusted the pilot and midshipman, rather than the things spoken by Paul.
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.
And the harbor being unsafe for spending the winter, most of them projected to the council to depart thence, if perchance they might be able, having arrived into Phoenix, to spend the winter there; a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southeast and the northeast.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
And the south wind blowing, thinking they could achieve their purpose, lifting up a sail, they went coasting along near Crete.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
Not long afterward a typhonic wind, called Euraquilo, set in against her;
15 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
and the ship having been seized, and being unable to resist the wind, having given away to it, we were borne along.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get possession of 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.
which lifting up they used helps, under-girding the ship; and fearing lest they might fall into Syrtis, lowering the gear, they were thus carried along.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
And we being tossed violently by the storm, they were successively making the casting out,
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
and on the third day with their own hands they threw overboard the tackling of the ship;
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.
and neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and there being no small tempest on us, finally all hope of saving us was 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.
And there being much fasting, Paul standing in their midst, said, O men, truly it behooved you obeying me, not to depart from Crete, and incur this injury and loss.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
And now I exhort you to take courage: for there will be no loss of the life of you, except the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
For the angel of God, whose I am, and whom indeed I serve, stood by me this night,
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
saying, Fear not, Paul; for it behooveth thee to stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has given thee all those sailing along with thee.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Therefore cheer up, O men: for I believe God, that it shall be according to the manner which He has spoken to me.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island."
But it behooves us to fall upon a certain island.
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.
And when it was the fourteenth night, we being borne along in the Adriatic Sea, about the middle of the night the sailors surmised that some country was coming to them.
28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
And having sounded, they found it twenty fathoms; and moving on a short distance, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms;
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
and fearing lest they may fall out against rough places, casting four anchors from the stern, they were praying that the day should come.
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,
And the sailors seeking to escape from the ship, and lowering the boat into the sea, with a pretext as about to cast anchors from the prow,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these may remain in the ship, you are not able to be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes away from the boat, and let it fall out.
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.
But until the day was about to come, Paul exhorted all to take food, saying, Already this day you remain in a state of solicitude, the fourteenth day, receiving 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."
Therefore I exhort you to take food: for this is for your safety: for not a hair of your head shall perish.
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.
And having spoken these words, and taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and breaking it, began to eat.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
And all becoming cheerful, themselves also took food.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
And we were two hundred and seventy-six souls in the ship.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
And having been revived by the food, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat over 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.
And when it was day, they did not recognize the land: but discovered a certain gulf having a shore, into which they determined, if possible, to thrust out the ship.
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.
And having knocked off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders, and raising up the main sail to the blowing wind, they made for the shore.
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.
And having fallen into a place where two seas met, they broke the ship, and indeed the prow, sticking fast, remained motionless, but the stern was torn off by the violence (of the wind).
42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest some one, having outswum them, might 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;
but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, forbade them from their counsel; and commanded that those who were able to swim, having first thrown themselves overboard, to go to 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.
and the rest, some on planks, and others on some parts from the ship. And thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
