Acts 27
1 And 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 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,
2 And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
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,
3 And the next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends, and receive their care.
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.
4 And thence putting to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And there, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,
5 And having sailed over the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
and having sailed over the sea down by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,
6 And there the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria about to sail for Italy, put us on board of it.
and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, put us into it,
7 And sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
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,
8 and coasting along it with difficulty we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.
and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
9 And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,
And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,
10 saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
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”;
11 But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.
but the centurion gave more credence to the pilot and to the shipowner than to the things spoken by Paul;
12 And as the harbor was not well situated for wintering, the greater part advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.
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,
13 And when a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete.
and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
14 But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
and not long after, there came down from it a turbulent wind [that] is called the Euroclydon,
15 And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven along.
and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were carried on,
16 And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession of the boat;
and having run under a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
17 which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should run into the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so were driven.
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.
18 And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;
And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
19 and the third day we cast out with our own hands the movables of the ship.
and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands,
20 And as neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved was taken away.
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.
21 And after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves this injury and loss.
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;
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you—but of the ship;
23 For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
for this night there stood by me a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve—
24 saying, Fear not, Paul! Thou must stand before Caesar; and lo, God hath given thee all those that sail with thee.
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;
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it will be just as it hath been told me.
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,
26 But we must be cast upon some island.
and on a certain island it is necessary for us to be cast.”
27 And when the fourteenth night had come on, as we were driven onward in the Adriatic sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were near some country;
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;
28 and sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and having gone a little further and sounded again, they found fifteen fathoms;
and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,
29 then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for day.
and fearing lest we may fall on rough places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were wishing day to come.
30 And as the sailors were seeking means to escape from the ship, when they had lowered the boat into the sea, under the pretence that they were about to carry out anchors from the foreship,
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,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, If these men do not stay in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “If these do not remain in the ship—you are not able to be saved”;
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and permitted it to fall off.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take food; saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye have waited, and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
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,
34 Wherefore I exhort you to take food; for this is for your safety; for there shall not a hair be lost from the head of one of you.
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”;
35 And having thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and having broken it, he began to eat.
and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took food.
and all having become of good cheer, also took food themselves,
37 And there were of us in the ship in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
(and we were—all the souls in the ship—two hundred, seventy-six),
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the grain into the sea.
and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.
39 And when it was day, they did not know the land; but they observed a certain creek having a beach, into which they determined, if possible, to run the ship.
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,
40 And cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea, and at the same time unfastening the rudder-bands, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made toward the beach.
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,
41 And falling into a place having the sea on both sides, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the stern was breaking to pieces with the violence [[of the waves]].
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.
42 And on the part of the soldiers there was a plan to kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape.
And the soldiers’ counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone having swam out should escape,
43 But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and ordered those who could swim to cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land,
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,
44 and the rest, some on boards, and others on something from the ship. And in this way it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
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.
