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 embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast 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 touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.
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 putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And there, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,
5 And when we had sailed across the sea which is off 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 found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.
and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, put us into it,
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of 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 with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
9 And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,
10 and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the 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 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 gave more credence to the pilot and to the shipowner than to the things spoken by Paul;
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there]; [which is] a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
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 the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
14 But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
and not long after, there came down from it a turbulent wind [that] is called the Euroclydon,
15 and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven.
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 the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
and having run under a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
17 and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, 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 laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw [the freight] overboard;
And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
19 and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands,
20 And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was now 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 when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten 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 shall 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 the God whose I am, whom also 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 granted thee all them 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 shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto 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 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
and on a certain island it is necessary for us to be cast.”
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to 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 they sounded, and found twenty fathoms: and after a little space, they sounded again, and 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 And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the 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 to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would lay 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, Except these abide 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 away the ropes of the boat, and let her 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 besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue 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 beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any 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 when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all: and he brake it, and 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 themselves also took food.
and all having become of good cheer, also took food themselves,
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen 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, throwing out the wheat 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 knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.
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 casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for 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 But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by 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 the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] 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, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the 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 planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the 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.
