Acts 27
1 When [the Governor and those who advised him] decided that it was time for us [(exc)] to get on a ship and go to Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners into the hands/care of an army captain whose name was Julius. [He was the one who would guard us on the journey]. Julius was [an officer] in charge of [a group of] 100 [soldiers that people called] ‘the Emperor Augustus Group’.
И когато бе решено да отплуваме за Италия, предадоха Павла и някои други затворници на един стотник на име Юлий, от Августовия полк.
2 So we got on a ship that had come from Adramyttium [city in Asia province. The ship] was going to [return there, stopping at] cities along the coast of Asia [province]. Aristarchus, [a fellow believer who was] from Thessalonica [city] in Macedonia [province], went with us.
И като се качихме на един Адрамитски кораб, който щеше да отплува за местата покрай Азийския бряг, тръгнахме; и с нас беше Аристарх, македонец от Солун.
3 The day after [the ship sailed], we arrived at Sidon [city]. Julius kindly told Paul that he could go and see his friends [who lived there], so that they could give him whatever he might need. [So Paul visited the believers there].
На другия ден стигнахме в Сидон; и Юлий се отнасяше човеколюбиво към Павла, и му позволи да отиде при приятелите си за да му пригодят.
4 Then the ship left [Sidon], but the winds were blowing against us [(exc)], so [the ship] went along [the north] side of Cyprus [Island], the side that is sheltered [from the wind].
и оттам като станахме, плувахме на завет под Кипър, понеже ветровете бяха противни.
5 After that, we crossed over the sea close to the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia [provinces. The ship] arrived at Myra [city, which is] in Lycia [province]. [We got off the ship there].
И като преплувахме Киликийското и Памфилийското море, стигнахме в Ликийския град Мира.
6 In Myra, [people told] Julius that a ship [was there that had come] from Alexandria [city] and would [soon] sail to Italy. So he arranged for us to get [on that ship], [and we left].
Там стотникът намери един Александрийски кораб, който плуваше за Италия н тури ни в него.
7 We sailed slowly for several days and finally arrived close to the coast [of Asia province], near Cnidus [town. After that], the wind [was very strong and] did not allow the ship to move straight ahead [westward. So instead], we sailed [southward] along the side of Crete [Island that is] sheltered [from the wind], and we passed [near Cape] Salmone.
И след като бяхме плували бавно за много дни, и едвам стигнахме Книд, понеже вятърът не ни позволяваше да влезем там, плувахме на завет под Крит срещу нос Салмон.
8 [The wind was still strong, and it prevented the ship from moving ahead fast]. So we moved slowly along the coast [of Crete], and we arrived at a harbor that was called Fair Havens, near Lasea [town].
И като преминахме него с мъка, стигнахме на едно място, което се казва Добри Пристанища, близо при което бе град Ласей.
9 Much time had passed, so it would have been dangerous if we [(exc)] had traveled [farther] by ship [because after that time of the year] [MTY] [the sea often became very stormy]. So Paul said to the men [on the ship],
Но като беше се минало много време и плуването беше вече опасно, защото и постът беше вече минал, Павел ги съветваше, казвайки им:
10 “Men, I perceive that [if we(inc) travel by ship] now, it will be disastrous for us. A storm may destroy the ship and the cargo, and possibly we will drown.”
Господа, виждам, че плуването ще бъде придружено с повреда и голяма пагуба, не само на товара и на кораба, но и на живота ни.
11 But the officer [did not listen to] what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the pilot [of the ship] and the owner of the ship advised.
Но стотникът се доверяваше повече на кормчията и на стопанина на кораба отколкото на Павловите думи,
12 The harbor where the ship had stopped was not a good place to remain during the winter [when the weather frequently becomes stormy. So most of the people on the ship decided that we(exc) should leave there, because they hoped that we] could stay at Phoenix [port] during the winter, if we could possibly arrive there. That harbor was open to the sea in two directions, [but the strong winds did not blow there].
И понеже пристанището не беше сгодно за презимуване, повечето изказаха мнение да се дигнат оттам за да стигнат, ако би било възможно, до Феникс, Критско пристанище, което гледа към югозапад и северозапад, и там да презимуват.
13 Then a gentle wind began to blow [from the south], and the [crew members] thought that they could travel as they had decided [to do. So] they lifted [the anchor up out of the sea], and the ship sailed [westward] along the [southern] shore of Crete [Island].
И когато подухна южен вятър, мислейки, че сполучиха целта си, те дигнаха котва та плуваха близо покрай Крит.
14 But after a while, a wind that was very strong blew across the island [from the north side and hit the ship. That wind was called] {[People] called that wind} “the Northeast Wind.”
Но след малко, спусна се от острова бурен вятър, наречен Евраквилон;
15 It blew strongly against the [front of] the ship. The result was that we could not keep going in the direction [in which we had been going]. So the sailors let the wind move the ship in the direction [that the wind] was blowing.
и когато корабът бе настигнат от вятъра и поради него не можеше да устои, оставихме се на вълните да ни носят.
16 The ship then passed a small island named Cauda. We passed along the side [of the island that] sheltered [the ship from the wind]. Then [while the ship was moving along], the sailors lifted the lifeboat up [out of the water] and tied it [on the deck. But the strong wind made it] difficult even to do that.
И като минахме на завет под едно островче наречено Клавдий, сполучихме с мъка да запазим ладията;
17 After the sailors [hoisted/lifted] the lifeboat onto the ship, they tied ropes around the ship’s hull to strengthen the ship. The sailors were afraid that, [because the wind was pushing the ship], it might run onto the sandbanks off the coast of Libya to the south [and get stuck there. So] they lowered the largest sail [so that the ship would move slower. Even so], the wind continued to move the ship along. [The wind and the waves] continued to toss the ship about roughly, so on the next day the sailors began to throw overboard the things that the ship was carrying.
и когато я издигнаха, употребяваха всякакви средства, и препасваха кораба изотдолу; и боейки се да не бъдат тласнати върху Сиртис, свалиха платната и се носеха така.
И понеже бяхме в голяма беда от бурята, на следния ден хванаха да изхвърлят товара.
19 On the third [day after the stormy wind had begun to blow], the sailors/we [MTY] threw overboard [most of] the sails, ropes, and poles, [in order to make the ship lighter].
И на третия ден те със своите ръце изхвърлиха вещите на кораба.
20 The wind continued to blow very strongly, [and the sky was full of dark clouds] day and night. We could not see the sun or the stars for many days, [so we could not determine where we were. And the wind] continued to blow violently. So we [(exc)] finally thought that we would drown in the sea.
И понеже за много дни не се виждаше ни слънце ни звезди, и силната буря напираше, то изчезна вече всяка надежда да бъдем спасени.
21 None of us on the ship had eaten for many days. [Then one day], Paul stood up in front of us and said, “[Friends], you should have listened to me [when I said] that we [(inc)] should not sail from Crete. Then we would have been safe, and the ship and its cargo would be in good condition [LIT].
А подир дълго неядене Павел застана между тях и рече: Господа, трябваше да ме слушате да се не дигаме от Крит, та да ни не постигнеше тая повреда и пагуба.
22 But now, I urge you, do not be afraid, because none of us will die. [The storm] will destroy the ship but not us.
Но и сега ви съветвам да сте бодри, защото ни една душа от вас няма да се изгуби, но само кораба;
23 I [know this], because last night God, the one to whom I belong and whom I serve, [sent] an angel [who came and] stood by me.
защото ангел от Бога, чийто съм аз и комуто служа, застана до мене тая нощ и рече,
24 The angel said to me, ‘Paul, do not be afraid! You [(sg)] must [go to Rome] and stand before the Emperor there [so that he can judge you]. I want you to know that God has made it clear to me that all those who are traveling by ship with you [will also survive].’
Не бой се, Павле, ти трябва да застанеш пред Кесаря; и, ето, Бог ти подари всички, които плуват с тебе.
25 So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
Затова, господа бъдете бодри; защото вярвам в Бога, че ще бъде тъй както ми бе казано.
26 However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
Обаче ние трябва да бъдем изхвърлени на някой остров.
27 On the fourteenth night [after the storm had begun, the ship] was still being blown {the wind was still blowing [the ship]} across the Adriatic sea. About midnight, the sailors sensed that the ship was getting close to land.
А когато настана четиринадесетата нощ, и ние се тласкахме насам-натам по Адриатическото море, около, среднощ корабниците усетиха, че се приближават до някоя суша.
28 So they lowered [a weight on a rope] to measure how deep [the water was]. When they pulled the rope up again, they measured it and saw that the water was (120 ft./37 meters) deep. They went a little farther and lowered the rope again. [That time], they saw that the water was [only] about (90 ft./28 meters) deep.
И като измериха дълбочината, намериха, че е двадесет разтега; и отивайки малко по-нататък пак измериха, и намериха че е петнадесет разтега.
29 They were afraid that the [ship] might go onto some rocks, so they threw out four anchors from the [ship’s] stern/back and continued to wish/pray that it would soon be dawn [so that they could see where the ship was going].
Затова, боейки се да не бъдат изхвърлени на каменисти места, спуснаха четири котви от задницата, и ожидаха да съмне.
30 Some of the sailors were planning to escape from the ship, so they lowered the lifeboat into the sea. In order [that no one would know what they planned to do], they pretended [that] they wanted to lower some anchors from the [ship’s] front/bow.
И понеже корабниците възнамеряваха да избягат от кораба, и бяха свалили ладията в морето под предлог, че щели да спуснат котви откъм предницата,
31 But Paul said to the army officer and soldiers, “If the sailors do not stay in the ship, you have no hope of being saved.”
Павел рече на стотника и на войниците: Ако тия не останат в кораба, вие не можете се избави.
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
Тогава войниците отрязаха въжата на ладията и оставиха я да се носи от морето.
33 Just before dawn, Paul urged everyone [on the ship] to eat some food. He said, “For the past 14 days you have been waiting and watching and not eating anything.
А на съмване Павел канеше всички да похапнат, казвайки: Днес е четиринадесетият ден как чакате и стоите гладни, без да сте вкусили нещо.
34 So, [now] I urge you to eat some food. We [(inc)] need to do that in order to stay alive. I [tell you to do that because I know that] none of you will drown [IDM].”
Затуй ви моля да похапнете, защото това ще помогне за вашето избавление; понеже никому от вас ни косъм от главата няма да загине.
35 After Paul had said that, while everyone was watching, he took some bread and thanked God [for it. Then he broke the bread and began to eat some of it].
И като рече това, взе хляб, благодари Богу пред всички та разчупи, и почна да яде.
36 The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
От това всички се ободриха, та ядоха и те.
37 Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
И в кораба бяхме всичко двеста седемдесет и шест души.
38 When everyone had eaten as much as they wanted, they threw the grain [that the ship was carrying] into the sea, and this made the ship lighter.
И като се нахраниха, облекчаваха кораба, като изхвърляха житото в морето.
39 At dawn, [we(exc) could see] land, [but the sailors] did not recognize [the place]. However, they could see that there was a bay and [a wide area of] sand at the water’s edge. They planned that, if it was possible, they would steer the ship onto [the beach].
И когато се разсъмна, те не познаваха земята; обаче забелязаха един залив с песъчлив бряг, в който се решиха да тикнат кораба, ако бе възможно.
40 [So some of the sailors] cut the anchor [ropes and] let the anchors fall into the sea. At the same time, [other sailors] untied the [ropes that] fastened the rudders, [so that they could steer the ship again]. Then [the sailors] raised the sail at the front/bow of the ship so that the wind [would blow the ship forward], and the ship headed towards the shore.
И като откачиха котвите, оставиха ги в морето, развързаха още и връзките на кормилата, развиха малкото платно по посоката на вятъра, и се отправиха към, брега.
41 But the ship hit a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck there and could not move, and big waves beat against the back of the ship and it began to break apart.
Но изпаднаха на едно място, дето морето биеше от две страни, и там кораба заседна; предницата се заби и не мърдаше, а задницата взе да се разглобява от напора на вълните.
42 The soldiers said [to one another, “Let’s] kill [all] the prisoners [on the ship], so that they will not [be able to] swim [away and] escape.” [They planned to do that because they were sure] that officials [would order them to be executed if they let the prisoners escape].
И войниците съветваха да се избият запрените, да не би да изплува някой и да избяга.
43 But [Julius], the army captain, wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers from doing what they planned to do. Instead, he [commanded] first that everyone who could swim should jump into the water and swim to land.
Но стотникът като искаше да избави Павла, възпря ги от това намерение, и заповяда да скочат в морето първо ония, които знаяха да плават, и да излязат на сухо,
44 [Then he told] the others [to hold] onto planks or pieces from the ship [and go towards shore. We(exc) did what he said, and] in that way all of us arrived safely on land.
а останалите да се спасяват кои на дъски, кои пък на нещо от кораба. И така стана та всички излязоха безопасно на сушата.
