Acts 27
1 Now, when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul, and certain other prisoners, unto a centurion by name Julius, of an Augustan band.
ut autem iudicatum est eum navigare in Italiam et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Iulio cohortis Augustae
2 And, going on board a ship of Adramittium, about to sail unto the places along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, there being with us, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica;
ascendentes autem navem hadrumetinam incipientem navigare circa Asiae loca sustulimus perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicense
3 and, on the next day, we put into Zidon, —and Julius, treating Paul, kindly, gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself;
sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem humane autem tractans Iulius Paulum permisit ad amicos ire et curam sui agere
4 and, from thence putting out to sea, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary;
et inde cum sustulissemus subnavigavimus Cypro propterea quod essent venti contrarii
5 and, sailing across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down to Myra, a city of Lycia.
et pelagus Ciliciae et Pamphiliae navigantes venimus Lystram quae est Lyciae
6 And the centurion, there, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, put us therein.
et ibi inveniens centurio navem alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam transposuit nos in eam
7 And, for a good many days sailing slowly, and getting with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us to get on, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus et vix devenissemus contra Cnidum prohibente nos vento adnavigavimus Cretae secundum Salmonem
8 and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
et vix iuxta navigantes venimus in locum quendam qui vocatur Boni portus cui iuxta erat civitas Thalassa
9 And, when a considerable time had passed, and sailing was already dangerous, because, even the Fast, had already gone by, Paul began to advise,
multo autem tempore peracto et cum iam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et ieiunium iam praeterisset consolabatur Paulus
10 saying to them—Sirs! I perceive that, with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship, but even of our persons, shall the voyage certainly be attended.
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, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.
centurio autem gubernatori et nauclerio magis credebat quam his quae a Paulo dicebantur
12 And, the harbour being, incommodious, to winter in, the more part, advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they might be able to reach Phoenix, to winter, [which was] a harbour of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde si quo modo possent devenientes Phoenice hiemare portum Cretae respicientem ad africum et ad chorum
13 And, a south wind blowing softly, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.
adspirante autem austro aestimantes propositum se tenere cum sustulissent de Asson legebant Cretam
14 But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, called Euraquilo, —
non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus qui vocatur euroaquilo
15 and, the ship being caught and we not being able to bring her head to the wind, we let her go, and were borne along.
cumque arrepta esset navis et non posset conari in ventum data nave flatibus ferebamur
16 And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves masters of the boat, —
insulam autem quandam decurrentes quae vocatur Caudam potuimus vix obtinere scapham
17 which, hoisting up, they began to use, helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest, on the sand-bank of Africa, they should run aground, lowering the gear, so, were they borne along.
qua sublata adiutoriis utebantur accingentes navem timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent submisso vase sic ferebantur
18 But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw [cargo] overboard;
valide autem nobis tempestate iactatis sequenti die iactum fecerunt
19 and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.
et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis proiecerunt
20 And, neither, sun nor stars, appearing for many days, and, no small tempest, lying upon us, in the end, all hope that we should be saved, began to be taken from us.
neque sole autem neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies et tempestate non exigua inminente iam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostrae
21 But, when they had been, long without food, then, Paul, standing in the midst of them, said—Ye ought, indeed, Sir! yielding to me, not to have sailed away from Crete, to get this damage 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 And, now, I recommend you to be of good courage; for, loss of life, shall there be, none at all, from among you, —only 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, belonging unto the God whose I am, unto whom also I am doing divine service, a messenger,
adstitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei cuius sum ego et cui deservio
24 saying—Be not afraid, Paul! for, before Caesar, must thou needs stand. And lo! God hath granted to thee as a favour, all them who are sailing with thee.
dicens ne timeas Paule Caesari te oportet adsistere et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum
25 Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God—that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.
propter quod bono animo estote viri credo enim Deo quia sic erit quemadmodum dictum est mihi
26 Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.
in insulam autem quandam oportet nos devenire
27 And, when, the fourteenth night, had come, and we were being driven to and fro in the Adriatic, about midnight, the sailors suspected that some country was, nearing, them;
sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit navigantibus nobis in Hadria circa mediam noctem suspicabantur nautae apparere sibi aliquam regionem
28 and, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, —and, going a little further, and again sounding, they found fifteen fathoms.
qui submittentes invenerunt passus viginti et pusillum inde separati invenerunt passus quindecim
29 And, fearing lest haply, on rocky places, we should be wrecked, out of stern, cast they four anchors, —and began praying that day might dawn.
timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus de puppi mittentes anchoras quattuor optabant diem fieri
30 But, when, the sailors, were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, by pretext, as though out of the prow they had been about to reach anchors,
nautis vero quaerentibus fugere de navi cum misissent scapham in mare sub obtentu quasi a prora inciperent anchoras extendere
31 Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers—Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, cannot be saved!
dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus nisi hii in navi manserint vos salvi fieri non potestis
32 Then, the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae et passi sunt eam excidere
33 And, until day was about to dawn, Paul continued to beseech one and all to take some food, saying—This day is, the fourteenth day, that, suspense, fasting, ye are completing, —having helped yourselves, to nothing.
et cum lux inciperet fieri rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum dicens quartadecima hodie die expectantes ieiuni permanetis nihil accipientes
34 Wherefore, I beseech you to take some food, —for, this, lays a foundation for your safety; for, of no one of you, shall a hair of the head perish.
propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit
35 And, having said these things, and taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.
et cum haec dixisset sumens panem gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium et cum fregisset coepit manducare
36 And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.
animaequiores autem facti omnes et ipsi adsumpserunt cibum
37 Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.
eramus vero universae animae in navi ducentae septuaginta sex
38 And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
et satiati cibo adleviabant navem iactantes triticum in mare
39 And, when day came, they could not recognise, the land; but perceived, a certain bay, having a beach, —upon which they were minded, if they could, safely to bring the ship.
cum autem dies factus esset terram non agnoscebant sinum vero quendam considerabant habentem litus in quem cogitabant si possent eicere navem
40 And, casting off the anchors, they let them go into the sea, —at the same time, loosening the lashings of the rudders, and, hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
et cum anchoras abstulissent committebant se mari simul laxantes iuncturas gubernaculorum et levato artemone secundum flatum aurae tendebant ad litus
41 But, falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and, the foreship sticking fast, remained immoveable, while, the stern, began to break up, from the violence [of the waves].
et cum incidissemus in locum bithalassum inpegerunt navem et prora quidem fixa manebat inmobilis puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris
42 Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape;
militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent ne quis cum enatasset effugeret
43 but, the centurion, being minded to bring Paul safely through, hindered them of their purpose, and ordered such as were able to swim, to cast themselves overboard and, get first to the land, —
centurio autem volens servare Paulum prohibuit fieri iussitque eos qui possent natare mittere se primos et evadere et ad terram exire
44 and, the rest, some, on planks, and, some, on other things from the ship, …and, so, it came to pass, that, all, were brought safely through, on to the land.
et ceteros alios in tabulis ferebant quosdam super ea quae de navi essent et sic factum est ut omnes animae evaderent ad terram
