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’.
E, como se determinou que haviamos de navegar para a Italia, entregaram Paulo, e alguns outros presos, a um centurião por nome Julio, da cohorte augusta.
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.
E, embarcando nós em um navio adramytino, partimos navegando pelos logares da Asia, estando comnosco Aristarcho, macedonio, de Thessalonica.
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].
E chegámos no dia seguinte a Sidon, e Julio, tratando Paulo humanamente, lhe permittiu ir ver os amigos, para que cuidassem d'elle.
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].
E, partindo d'ali, fomos navegando abaixo de Chypre, porquanto os ventos eram contrarios.
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].
E, tendo atravessado o mar, ao longo da Cilicia e Pamphylia, chegámos a Myrra, na Lycia.
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].
E, achando ali o centurião um navio de Alexandria, que navegava para a Italia, nos fez embarcar n'elle.
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.
E, indo já por muitos dias navegando vagarosamente, e havendo chegado apenas defronte de Cnido, não nos permittindo o vento ir mais adiante, navegámos abaixo de Creta, junto de Salmone.
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].
E, costeando-a difficilmente, chegámos a um certo logar chamado Bons Portos, perto do qual estava a cidade de Lasca.
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],
E, passado muito tempo, e sendo já perigosa a navegação, porquanto já tambem o jejum tinha passado, Paulo os admoestava,
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.”
Dizendo-lhes: Varões, vejo que a navegação ha de ser incommoda, e com muito damno, não só para o navio e carga, mas tambem para as nossas vidas.
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.
Porém o centurião cria mais no piloto e no mestre, do que no que dizia Paulo.
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].
E, não sendo aquelle porto commodo para invernar, os mais d'elles foram de parecer que se partisse d'ali para ver se podiam chegar a Phenix, que é um ponto de Creta que olha para a banda do vento da Africa e do Coro, e invernar ali.
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].
E, soprando o sul brandamente, lhes pareceu terem já o que desejavam, e, fazendo-se de vela, foram de muito perto costeando Creta.
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.”
Porém não muito depois deu n'ella um pé de vento, chamado euro-aquilão.
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.
E, sendo o navio arrebatado por elle, e não podendo navegar contra o vento, dando de mão a tudo, nos deixámos ir á tôa
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.
E, correndo abaixo de uma pequena ilha chamada Clauda, apenas podémos ganhar o batel,
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.
Levado para cima o qual, usaram de todos os remedios, cingindo o navio; e, temendo darem á costa na Syrte, amainadas as vélas, assim foram á tôa.
E, andando nós agitados por uma vehemente tempestade, no dia seguinte alliviaram o navio.
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].
E ao terceiro dia nós mesmos, com as nossas proprias mãos, lançámos ao mar a armação do navio
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.
E, não apparecendo, havia já muitos dias, nem sol nem estrellas, e opprimindo-nos uma não pequena tempestade, fugiu-nos toda a esperança de nos salvarmos.
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].
E, havendo já muito que se não comia, então Paulo, pondo-se em pé no meio d'elles, disse: Fôra na verdade razoavel, ó varões, ter-me ouvido a mim e não partir de Creta, e evitar assim este incommodo e esta perdição.
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.
Porém agora vos admoesto a que tenhaes bom animo, porque não se perderá a vida de nenhum de vós, mas sómente o navio.
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.
Porque esta mesma noite o anjo de Deus, de quem eu sou, e a quem sirvo, esteve comigo,
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].’
Dizendo: Paulo, não temas: importa que sejas apresentado a Cesar, e eis que Deus te deu todos quantos navegam comtigo.
25 So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
Portanto, ó varões, tende bom animo; porque creio em Deus, que ha de acontecer assim como a mim me foi dito.
26 However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
Porém é necessario irmos dar n'uma ilha.
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.
E, quando chegou a decima quarta noite, sendo impellidos de uma e outra banda no mar Adriatico, lá pela meia noite suspeitaram os marinheiros de que estavam proximos d'alguma terra.
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.
E, lançando o prumo, acharam vinte braças; e, passando um pouco mais adiante, tornando a lançar o prumo, acharam quinze braças.
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].
E, temendo ir dar em alguns rochedos, lançaram da pôpa quatro ancoras, desejando que viesse o dia.
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.
Procurando, porém, os marinheiros fugir do navio, e deitando o batel ao mar, como que querendo lançar as ancoras pela prôa,
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.”
Disse Paulo ao centurião e aos soldados: Se estes não ficarem no navio, não podereis salvar-vos.
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
Então os soldados cortaram os cabos do batel, e o deixaram cair.
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.
E entretanto que o dia vinha, Paulo exhortava a todos a que comessem alguma coisa, dizendo: É já hoje o decimo quarto dia que esperaes, e permaneceis sem comer, não havendo provado nada.
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].”
Portanto, exhorto-vos a que comaes alguma coisa, pois importa para a vossa saude; porque nem um cabello da cabeça de qualquer de vós cairá.
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].
E, havendo dito isto, tomando o pão, deu graças a Deus na presença de todos; e, partindo-o, começou a comer.
36 The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
E, tendo já todos bom animo, pozeram-se tambem a comer.
37 Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
E eramos por todos no navio duzentas e setenta e seis almas.
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.
E, refeitos já da comida, alliviaram o navio, lançando o trigo ao mar.
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].
E, sendo já dia, não conheceram a terra; porém enxergaram uma enseada que tinha praia, e consultaram-se sobre se deveriam encalhar n'ella o navio.
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.
E, levantando as ancoras, deixaram-n'o ir ao mar, largando tambem as amarras do leme; e, alçando a véla maior ao vento, dirigiram-se para a praia.
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.
Dando, porém, em logar de dois mares, encalharam ali o navio; e, fixa a prôa, ficou immovel, porém a pôpa abria-se com a força das ondas.
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].
Então o conselho dos soldados foi que matassem os presos para que nenhum fugisse, escapando a nado.
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.
Porém o centurião, querendo salvar a Paulo, lhes estorvou este intento; e mandou que os que podessem nadar se lançassem primeiro ao mar, e se salvassem em terra;
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.
E os demais, uns em taboas e outros em coisas do navio. E assim aconteceu que todos se salvaram em terra.
