< Acts 27 >

1 When now was determined sailing our to Italy, they were delivering both Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius of the cohort of Augustus.
And when it was determined that we should sail away into Italy, they committed both Paul and certain other prisoners to the centurion, Julius by name, of the band of Augustus.
2 Having boarded then on a ship of Adramyttium (being about *N(k)O*) to sail (to *no*) the along Asia places we set sail — while was being with us Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica.
And having embarked on an Adramyttium ship, about to sail to those places along Asia, we set sail; Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 On the then next [day] we landed at Sidon, Considerately then Julius Paul was treating he allowed [him] to [his] friends (may be going *N(k)O*) care to receive.
And on the following day we disembarked at Sidon; and Julius, treating Paul kindly, permitted him having gone to his friends to receive their benefactions.
4 And from there And from there having set sail we sailed under Cyprus because of the winds being contrary,
And having embarked from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary:
5 And then along Cilicia and Pamphylia having sailed across [the sea] we came to Myra of Lycia.
and having sailed through the sea which is opposite Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down into Myra of Lycia.
6 And there And there having found the centurion a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy he placed us into it.
And there the centurion having found an Alexandrian ship sailing into Italy; transferred us into it.
7 For many now days sailing slowly and with difficulty having arrived off Cnidus not is permitting us the wind we sailed under Crete off Salmone,
And sailing slowly during many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not favoring us, we sailed under Crete, opposite Salmone;
8 With difficulty and coasting along it we came to a place certain being called Fair Havens, to which near [the] city was of Lasea.
and, with difficulty passing by it, we came into a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city Lasea.
9 When much now time having passed and is being already dangerous the voyage because of even the Fast already being over, was admonishing [them] Paul
And much time passing away, and navigation being already unsafe, because the Fast had already passed by, Paul exhorted them,
10 saying to them; Men, I understand that with disaster and much loss not only of the (burden *N(k)O*) and of the ship but also the lives of us ensuing to be the voyage.
saying to them, Men, I perceive that this voyage is going to be with peril and much loss, not only with the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 But the centurion by the pilot and by the ship owner rather was persuaded than by the [things] by (*k*) Paul spoken.
But the centurion trusted the pilot and midshipman, rather than the things spoken by Paul.
12 Unsuitable now the harbor being to winter in the majority reached a decision to set sail (from there, *N(k)O*) if somehow they would be able having arrived at Phoenix to winter [there] — a harbor of Crete looking toward [the] southwest and toward [the] northwest.
And the harbor being unsafe for spending the winter, most of them projected to the council to depart thence, if perchance they might be able, having arrived into Phoenix, to spend the winter there; a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southeast and the northeast.
13 When was blowing gently now a south wind having thought the purpose to have obtained, having weighed [anchor] very near they were coasting along Crete.
And the south wind blowing, thinking they could achieve their purpose, lifting up a sail, they went coasting along near Crete.
14 After not long however it threw down from it a wind tempestuous which is being called [the] Northeaster.
Not long afterward a typhonic wind, called Euraquilo, set in against her;
15 When was being seized then the ship and not being able to face to the wind having given way we were driven along.
and the ship having been seized, and being unable to resist the wind, having given away to it, we were borne along.
16 An Island then certain having run under being called (Cauda *N(K)O*) we were able with difficulty control to gain of the lifeboat,
And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get possession of the boat:
17 which having taken up supports they were using undergirding the ship; Fearing then lest into the sandbars of Syrtis they may fall having lowered the gear, thus they were driven along.
which lifting up they used helps, under-girding the ship; and fearing lest they might fall into Syrtis, lowering the gear, they were thus carried along.
18 Violently now being storm-tossed of us on the next [day] a jettison of cargo they were making;
And we being tossed violently by the storm, they were successively making the casting out,
19 and on the third [day] with [their] own hands the tackle of the ship (they cast away; *N(K)O*)
and on the third day with their own hands they threw overboard the tackling of the ship;
20 Neither now sun nor stars appearing for many days, tempest and no small afflicted [us] from then on was abandoned hope all of being saved us.
and neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and there being no small tempest on us, finally all hope of saving us was taken away.
21 Much (also *N(k)O*) time without food there being at that time having stood up Paul in midst of them he said; It was necessary [for you] indeed, O men, having been obedient to me not to have set sail from Crete, to have incurred then disaster this and loss.
And there being much fasting, Paul standing in their midst, said, O men, truly it behooved you obeying me, not to depart from Crete, and incur this injury and loss.
22 And yet now I exhort you to keep up your courage; loss for of life none there will be from among you only of the ship.
And now I exhort you to take courage: for there will be no loss of the life of you, except the ship.
23 Stood by for me this night of God whose am (I myself *n*) whom and I serve an angel
For the angel of God, whose I am, and whom indeed I serve, stood by me this night,
24 saying; Not do fear, Paul, to Caesar you it behooves to stand before, And behold has granted to you God all those sailing with you.
saying, Fear not, Paul; for it behooveth thee to stand before Caesar: and, behold, God has given thee all those sailing along with thee.
25 Therefore take courage men; I believe for in God that thus it will be according to the way it has been said to me.
Therefore cheer up, O men: for I believe God, that it shall be according to the manner which He has spoken to me.
26 Upon an island however certain it behooves us to fall.
But it behooves us to fall upon a certain island.
27 When then [the] fourteenth night had come being driven about of us in the Adriatic, toward [the] middle of the night were sensing the sailors to be drawing near some to them land;
And when it was the fourteenth night, we being borne along in the Adriatic Sea, about the middle of the night the sailors surmised that some country was coming to them.
28 And having taken soundings they found fathoms twenty, A little then having gone farther and again having taken soundings they found fathoms fifteen;
And having sounded, they found it twenty fathoms; and moving on a short distance, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms;
29 Fearing then lest perhaps (on *N(k)O*) rocky places (we may fall, *NK(O)*) out of [the] stern having cast anchors four they were praying for day to come.
and fearing lest they may fall out against rough places, casting four anchors from the stern, they were praying that the day should come.
30 Of the then sailors seeking to flee out of the ship and having let down the lifeboat into the sea under pretense as from [the] bow anchors being about to cast out
And the sailors seeking to escape from the ship, and lowering the boat into the sea, with a pretext as about to cast anchors from the prow,
31 said Paul to the centurion and to the soldiers; Only unless these shall remain in the ship, [then] you yourselves to be saved not you are able.
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these may remain in the ship, you are not able to be saved.
32 Then cut away the soldiers the ropes of the lifeboat and allowed her to fall away.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes away from the boat, and let it fall out.
33 Until then that day was about to come, was urging Paul all to partake of food saying; [the] fourteenth today [is] day watching without eating you continue nothing having taken.
But until the day was about to come, Paul exhorted all to take food, saying, Already this day you remain in a state of solicitude, the fourteenth day, receiving nothing.
34 Therefore I exhort you (to partake *N(k)O*) of food; this indeed for of you preservation is; not [one] for of you a hair (of *N(k)O*) the head (will perish. *N(K)O*)
Therefore I exhort you to take food: for this is for your safety: for not a hair of your head shall perish.
35 Having said now these things and having taken bread he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it] he began to eat.
And having spoken these words, and taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and breaking it, began to eat.
36 Encouraged then having been all also themselves they took food;
And all becoming cheerful, themselves also took food.
37 (we were *N(k)O*) then the altogether souls in the boat (two hundred *NK(O)*) seventy six.
And we were two hundred and seventy-six souls in the ship.
38 Having been filled then (*o*) with food they were lightening the ship casting out the wheat into the sea.
And having been revived by the food, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat over into the sea.
39 When now day it was, the land not they were recognizing, a bay however certain they were noticing having a shore, on which (they were determining *N(k)O*) if (they would be able, *NK(o)*) (to drive [aground] *NK(O)*) the ship.
And when it was day, they did not recognize the land: but discovered a certain gulf having a shore, into which they determined, if possible, to thrust out the ship.
40 And the anchors having cut away they were leaving [them] in the sea, at the same time having loosened the ropes of the rudders And having hoisted the foresail to the blowing [wind] they were making for the shore.
And having knocked off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders, and raising up the main sail to the blowing wind, they made for the shore.
41 Having fallen however into a place between two seas they ran aground the vessel; and the indeed bow having stuck fast it remained immovable, however the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
And having fallen into a place where two seas met, they broke the ship, and indeed the prow, sticking fast, remained motionless, but the stern was torn off by the violence (of the wind).
42 Of the now soldiers [the] plan was that the prisoners they may kill, lest anyone having swum away (may escape. *N(k)O*)
And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest some one, having outswum them, might escape:
43 But the centurion desiring to save Paul hindered them of the purpose, he commanded then those being able to swim having cast [themselves] off first on the land to go out,
but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, forbade them from their counsel; and commanded that those who were able to swim, having first thrown themselves overboard, to go to the land;
44 and the rest some indeed on boards, some however on things from the ship. And thus it came to pass that all being saved to the land.
and the rest, some on planks, and others on some parts from the ship. And thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
