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.
But as it was demed hym to schippe into Ytalie, thei bitoken Poul with othere kepers to a centurien, bi name Julius, of the cumpeny of knyytis of the emperoure.
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 we wenten vp in to the schip of Adrymetis, and bigunnen to seile, and weren borun aboute the placis of Asie, while Aristark of Macedonye, Tessalonycence, dwellide stille with vs.
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 in the dai suynge, we camen to Sydon; and Julius tretyde curteisli Poul, and suffride to go to frendis, and do his nedis.
4 And from there And from there having set sail we sailed under Cyprus because of the winds being contrary,
And whanne we remouede fro thennus, we vndurseiliden to Cipre, for that wyndis weren contrarie.
5 And then along Cilicia and Pamphylia having sailed across [the sea] we came to Myra of Lycia.
And we seiliden in the see of Silicie and Pamfilie, and camen to Listris, that is Licie.
6 And there And there having found the centurion a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy he placed us into it.
And there the centurien foond a schip of Alisaundre, seilinge in to Ytalie, and puttide vs ouer in to 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 whanne in many daies we seilden slowli, and vnnethe camen ayens Guydum, for the winde lettide vs, we seiliden to Crete, bisidis Salomona.
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 vnnethe we seilden bisidis, and camen into a place, that is clepid of good hauen, to whom the cite Tessala was niy.
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 whanne miche time was passid, and whanne seiling thanne was not sikir, for that fasting was passid, Poul coumfortide hem,
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.
and seide to hem, Men, Y se that seiling bigynneth to be with wrong and myche harm, not oonli of charge and of the schip, but also of oure lyues.
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 centurien bileuede more to the gouernour, and to the lord of the schip, thanne to these thingis that weren seid of Poul.
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 whanne the hauene was not able to dwelle in wynter, ful many ordeyneden counsel to seile fro thennus, if on ony maner thei miyten come to Fenyce, to dwelle in wynter at the hauene of Crete, which biholdith to Affrik, and to Corum.
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 whanne the south blew, thei gessiden hem to holde purpos; and whanne thei hadden removed fro Asson, thei seiliden to Crete.
14 After not long however it threw down from it a wind tempestuous which is being called [the] Northeaster.
And not aftir miche, the wynde Tifonyk, that is clepid north eest, was ayens it.
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 whanne the schip was rauyschid, and myyte not enforse ayens the wynde, whanne the schip was youun to the blowynges of the wynde, we weren borun with cours into an ile,
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,
that is clepid Canda; and vnethe we miyten gete a litil boot.
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.
And whanne this was takun vp, thei vsiden helpis, girdinge togidere the schippe; and dredden, lest thei schulden falle into sondi placis. And whanne the vessel was vndur set, so thei weren borun.
18 Violently now being storm-tossed of us on the next [day] a jettison of cargo they were making;
And for we weren throwun with strong tempest, in the dai suynge thei maden casting out.
19 and on the third [day] with [their] own hands the tackle of the ship (they cast away; *N(K)O*)
And the thridde dai with her hoondis thei castiden awei the instrumentis of the schip.
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 whanne the sunne nether the sterris weren seie bi many daies, and tempest not a litil neiyede, now al the hope of oure helthe was don awei.
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 whanne myche fasting hadde be, thanne Poul stood in the myddil of hem, and seide, A! men, it bihofte, whanne ye herden me, not to haue take awei the schip fro Crete, and gete this wronge and casting out.
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 Y counsel you to be of good coumfort, for los of no persoone of you schal be, outakun of the schip.
23 Stood by for me this night of God whose am (I myself *n*) whom and I serve an angel
For an aungel of God, whos Y am, and to whom Y serue, stood niy to me in this niyt, and seide, Poul, drede thou not;
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.
it bihoueth thee to stonde bifore the emperour. And lo! God hath youun to thee alle that ben in the schip 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.
For which thing, ye men, be ye of good coumfort; for Y bileue to my God, that so it schal be, as it is seid to me.
26 Upon an island however certain it behooves us to fall.
And it bihoueth vs to come into sum yle.
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;
But aftirward that in the fourtenthe dai the niyt cam on vs seilinge in the stony see, aboute mydniyt the schipmen supposiden sum cuntre to appere to hem.
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 thei kesten doun a plommet, and founden twenti pasis of depnesse. And aftir a litil thei weren departid fro thennus, and foundun fiftene pasis.
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 thei dredden, lest we schulden haue fallun in to scharp placis; and fro the last parti of the schip thei senten foure ankeris, and desiriden that the dai hadde be 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 whanne the schipmen souyten to fle fro the schip, whanne thei hadden sent a litil boot in to the see, vndur colour as thei schulden bigynne to stretche forth the ankeris fro the formere part of the schip,
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.
Poul seide to the centurien and to the knyytis, But these dwellen in the schip, ye moun not be maad saaf.
32 Then cut away the soldiers the ropes of the lifeboat and allowed her to fall away.
Thanne knyytis kittiden awei the cordis of the litil boot, and suffriden it to falle awei.
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.
And whanne the dai was come, Poul preiede alle men to take mete, and seide, The fourtenthe dai this dai ye `abiden, and dwellen fastinge, and taken no thing.
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*)
Wherfor Y preie you to take mete, for youre helthe; for of noon of you the heer of the heed schal perische.
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 whanne he hadde seid these thingis, Poul took breed, and dide thankyngis to God in the siyt of alle men; and whanne he hadde brokun, he bigan to eete.
36 Encouraged then having been all also themselves they took food;
And alle weren maad of betere coumfort, and thei token mete.
37 (we were *N(k)O*) then the altogether souls in the boat (two hundred *NK(O)*) seventy six.
And we weren alle men in the schip, two hundrid seuenti and sexe.
38 Having been filled then (*o*) with food they were lightening the ship casting out the wheat into the sea.
And thei weren fillid with mete, and dischargiden the schip, and castiden whete in to the see.
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 whanne the dai was comun, thei knewen no lond; and thei bihelden an hauene that hadde a watir bank, in to which thei thouyten, if thei miyten, to bringe vp the schip.
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 whanne thei hadden take vp the ankeris, thei bitoken hem to the see, and slakiden togidir the ioyntours of gouernails. And with a litil seil lift vp, bi blowyng of the wynde thei wenten to the bank.
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 whanne we felden into a place of grauel gon al aboute with the see, thei hurtliden the schip. And whanne the formere part was fitchid, it dwellide vnmouable, and the last part was brokun of strengthe of the see.
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 counsel of the kniytis was, to sle men that weren in warde, lest ony schulde ascape, whanne he hadde swymmed out.
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 centurien wolde kepe Poul, and forbede it to be don. And he comaundide hem that miyte swymme, to go in to the see, and scape, and go out to the loond.
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 thei baren summe othere on boordis, summe on tho thingis that weren of the schip. And so it was don, that alle men ascapiden to the lond.
