Acts 27
1 As it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were put in charge of a centurion of the Augustan Guard, named Julius.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲧⲁⲗⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϯⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲕⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲏⲣ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲓⲟⲩⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲥⲡⲓⲣⲁ ⲛⲥⲉⲃⲁⲥⲧⲏ
2 We went on board a ship from Adramyttium, which was on the point of sailing to the ports along the coast of Roman Asia, and put to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.
ⲃ̅ⲁⲛⲁⲗⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲁⲧⲣⲁⲙⲩⲇⲇⲏ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲣϩⲱⲧ ⲉⲙⲙⲁ ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲓⲁ ⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲑⲉⲥⲥⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲕⲏ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ
3 The next day we put in to Sidon, where Julius treated Paul in a friendly manner, and allowed him to go to see his friends and receive their hospitality.
ⲅ̅ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲥⲓⲇⲱⲛ ⲓⲟⲩⲗⲓⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲛⲧⲙⲁⲓⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ϣⲁ ⲛⲉϥϣⲃⲉⲉⲣ ⲉϣⲙϣⲏⲧϥ
4 Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the wind was against us;
ⲇ̅ⲁⲛⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲕⲩⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲧⲏⲩ ϯⲟⲩⲃⲏⲛ
5 and, after crossing the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲡⲉⲗⲁⲕⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲕⲓⲗⲓⲕⲓⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲡⲁⲙⲫⲩⲗⲓⲁ ⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲙⲩⲣⲣⲁ ⲛⲧⲗⲩⲕⲓⲁ
6 There the Roman officer found an Alexandrian ship on her way to Italy, and put us on board of her.
ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ϩⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲁⲕⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲣϩⲱⲧ ⲉⲧϩⲓⲧⲁⲗⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲟⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
7 For several days our progress was slow, and it was only with difficulty that we arrived off Cnidus. As the wind was still unfavourable when we came off Cape Salmone, we sailed under the lee of Crete,
ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲁϩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲡⲱϩ ⲉⲕⲛⲓⲧⲏ ⲙⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲕⲱⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲁⲗⲙⲟⲛⲏ
8 and with difficulty, by keeping close in shore, we reached a place called “Fair Havens,” near which was the town of Lasea.
ⲏ̅ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲛⲥⲁⲁⲧⲥ ⲁⲛⲉⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ϩⲏⲛ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲗⲁⲥⲟⲥ
9 This had taken a considerable time, and sailing was already dangerous, for the Fast was already over; and so Paul gave this warning.
ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛⲣϩⲃⲁ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲧⲕⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ
10 ‘My friends,’ he said, ‘I see that this voyage will be attended with injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but to our own lives also.’
ⲓ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲟⲥⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ
11 The Roman officer, however, was more influenced by the captain and the owner than by what was said by Paul.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉⲧⲣ ϩⲙⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲛⲁⲩⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
12 And, as the harbour was not a suitable one to winter in, the majority were in favour of continuing the voyage, in hope of being able to reach Phoenix, and winter there. Phoenix was a Cretan harbour, open to the north-east and south-east.
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 So, when a light wind sprang up from the south, thinking that they had found their opportunity, they weighed anchor and kept along the coast of Crete, close in shore.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲧⲟⲩⲣⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲩⲧⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲁⲗⲁⲥⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲕⲁ ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ
14 But shortly afterwards a hurricane came down on us off the land – a north-easter, as it is called.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲩ ⲛⲧⲣⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲛ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲕⲩⲗⲱⲛ
15 The ship was caught by it and was unable to keep her head to the wind, so we had to give way and let her drive before it.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲙⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉϯⲟⲩⲃⲉ ⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲁⲛⲕⲁⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we only just managed to secure the ship’s boat,
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲛⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲗⲁⲩⲇⲓⲁ ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲛϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲕⲁⲫⲏ
17 and, after hoisting it on board, the men frapped the ship. But, afraid of being driven on to the Syrtis Sands, they lowered the yard, and then drifted.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛⲥⲉϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲙⲁⲉϥⲟ ⲛϩⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ
18 So violently were we tossed about by the storm, that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard,
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲭⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲇⲉ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲱⲛ ⲉⲡⲉϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉⲩϩⲛⲁⲁⲩ
19 and, on the following day, threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫ ⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲙⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
20 As neither sun nor stars were visible for several days, and, as the gale still continued severe, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲙⲛⲣⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲁⲡⲥ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛⲭⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϩⲓϫⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲛ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ
21 It was then, when they had gone a long time without food, that Paul came forward, and said, ‘My friends, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and so incurred this injury and damage.
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 Yet, even as things are, I beg you not to lose courage, for there will not be a single life lost among you – only the ship.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲧⲛ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲕ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲙⲛⲟⲩⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲉⲓⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁϥ
23 For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom I serve, stood by me, and said –
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲟⲩϣⲏ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲁⲅⲅⲉⲗⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϯϣⲙϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ
24 “Have no fear, Paul; you must appear before the Emperor, and God himself has given you the lives of all your fellow voyagers.”

25 Therefore, courage, my friends! For I believe God, that everything will happen exactly as I have been told.

26 We will, however, have to be driven on some island.’
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ
27 It was now the fourteenth night of the storm, and we were drifting about in the Adriatic Sea, when, about midnight, the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near land.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲉϩⲙⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲣϩⲱⲧ ϩⲙ ⲡⲁⲛⲧⲣⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲛⲉⲉϥ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲩϣⲏ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛϩⲱⲛ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲭⲱⲣⲁ
28 So they took soundings, and found twenty fathoms of water. After waiting a little, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲃⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉϫⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛϩⲡⲟⲧ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϭⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩⲓ ⲁⲩⲛⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲃⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲙⲛⲧⲏ ⲛϩⲡⲟⲧ
29 Then, as they were afraid of our being driven on some rocky coast, they let go four anchors from the stern, and longed for daylight.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛⲧⲛⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲧ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫ ϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ
30 The sailors wanted to leave the ship, and had lowered the boat, on pretence of running out anchors from the bows,
ⲗ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲛⲉⲉϥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲕⲁⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲛⲧⲕⲁⲧⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲩϭⲛⲗⲟⲓϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲛⲉϫ ϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲑⲏ
31 when Paul said to the Roman officer and his men, ‘Unless the sailors remain on board, you cannot be saved.’
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲙⲫⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲙⲛⲁⲓ ϭⲱ ϩⲓ ⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲁⲛ
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes which held the boat, and let her drift away.

33 In the interval before daybreak Paul kept urging them all to take something to eat. ‘It is a fortnight today,’ he said, ‘that, owing to your anxiety, you have gone without food, taking nothing.
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ϣⲁⲛⲧⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲱⲛ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲣⲉⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲉ ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲛⲙⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϩⲕⲁⲉⲓⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲉⲙ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ
34 So I beg you to take something to eat; your safety depends on it, for not one of you will lose even a hair of his head.’
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ϯⲥⲟⲡⲥ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲧⲛϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϩⲣⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲙⲛⲟⲩϥⲱⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲛⲁϩⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲡⲉ ⲛⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ
35 With these words he took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving to God before them all, broke it in pieces, and began to eat;
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓⲕ ⲁϥⲉⲩⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥⲧⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲟϣϥ ⲁϥⲁⲣⲭⲉⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲉⲁϥϯ ϩⲱⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲛ
36 and the men all felt cheered and had something to eat themselves.
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲣⲟⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩⲧⲣⲟⲫⲏ
37 There were about seventy-six of us on board, all told.

38 After satisfying their hunger, they further lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

39 When daylight came, they could not make out what land it was, but, observing a creek in which there was a beach, they consulted as to whether they could run the ship safely into it.
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲙⲡⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲉϥ ⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛϥ ⲟⲩⲕⲟⲗⲡⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓⲟⲣϩϥ ⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲙⲁ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϫⲓ ϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϣϭⲙϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲙⲁⲩ
40 Then they cast off, and abandoned the anchors, and at the same time unlashed the gear of the steering oars, hoisted the foresail to the wind, and made for the beach.
ⲙ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲉⲕⲙ ⲛϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲁϣⲉ ϩⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ϩⲁⲙⲁ ⲁⲩⲕⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛϩⲓⲏⲩ ⲁⲩϥⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛⲧϭⲓⲥⲗⲁⲩⲟ ⲁⲩⲣϩⲱⲧ ⲙⲡⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲛⲃⲟⲗ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ
41 They got, however, into a kind of channel, and there ran the ship aground. The bows stuck fast and could not be moved, while the stern began breaking up under the strain.
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛϩⲱⲛ ϩⲛ ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲁⲩⲙⲁⲛⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲡⲉϥⲑⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟⲁϥϭⲱ ⲉⲛϥⲕⲓⲙ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲙⲡⲧⲏⲩ
42 The advice of the soldiers was that the prisoners should be killed, so that none of them could swim away and make their escape.
ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲟⲓ ϭⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲉⲧⲃ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲏⲣ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲟⲩⲁ ⲛⲏⲃⲉ ⲛϥⲣⲃⲟⲗ
43 But the Roman officer, anxious to save Paul, prevented their carrying out their intention, and ordered that those who could swim should be the first to jump into the sea and try to reach the shore;
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲕⲱⲗⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩ ⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲏⲃⲉ ⲛⲥⲉϥⲟϭⲟⲩ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⲛⲥⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ
44 and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on different pieces of the ship. In these various ways everyone managed to get safely ashore.
