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.
Ut autem iudicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Iulio cohortis Augustae,
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.
ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiae loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
3 The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Iulius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Et pelagus Ciliciae, et Pamphyliae navigantes, venimus Lystram, quae est Lyciae:
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
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.
Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretae iuxta Salmonem:
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
et vix iuxta navigantes, venimus in locum quendam, qui vocatur Boniportus, cui iuxta erat civitas Thalassa.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum iam non esset tuta navigatio, eo quod ieiunium iam praeterisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
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."
dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum iniuria, et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.
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.
Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his, quae a Paulo dicebantur.
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.
Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phoenicen, hiemare, portum Cretae respicientem ad Africum, et ad Corum.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Aspirante autem Austro, aestimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus Typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
15 When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
In insulam autem quandam decurrentes, quae vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
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.
Qua sublata, adiutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
Valida autem nobis tempestate iactatis, sequenti die iactum fecerunt:
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis proiecerunt.
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.
Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, iam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostrae.
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.
Et cum multa ieiunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit: Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere iniuriam hanc, et iacturam.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse. amissio enim nullius animae erit ex vobis, praeterquam navis.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Astitit enim mihi hac nocte Angelus Dei, cuius sum ego, et cui deservio,
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
dicens: Ne timeas Paule, Caesari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes, qui navigant tecum.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Propter quod bono animo estote viri: credo enim Deo, quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island."
In insulam autem quandam oportet nos devenire.
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.
Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautae apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quattuor, optabant diem fieri.
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,
Nautis vero quaerentibus 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, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
dixit Paulus Centurioni, et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae, et passi sunt eam excidere.
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.
Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie expectantes ieiuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
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."
Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
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.
Et cum haec dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, coepit manducare.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Animaequiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Eramus vero universae animae in navi ducentae septuaginta sex.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, iactantes triticum in mare.
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.
Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quendam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant, si possent, eiicere navem.
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.
Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes iuncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum aurae flatum tendebant ad littus.
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.
Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent: nequis cum enatasset, effugeret.
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;
Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: iussitque eos, qui possent natare, emittere se in mare primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:
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.
et ceteros alios in tabulis ferebant: quosdam super ea, quae de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animae evaderent ad terram.
