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’.
Luego que se determinó que navegásemos a Italia, entregaron a Pablo y a algunos otros presos en manos de un centurión de la cohorte Augusta, por nombre Julio,
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.
Nos embarcamos en una nave adramitena, que estaba a punto de emprender viaje a los puertos de Asia, y nos hicimos a la vela, acompañándonos Aristarco, macedonio de Tesalónica.
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].
Al otro día hicimos escala en Sidón, y Julio, tratando a Pablo humanamente, le permitió visitar a los amigos y recibir atenciones.
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].
Partidos de allí navegamos a lo largo de Chipre, por ser contrarios los vientos,
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].
y atravesando el mar de Cilicia y Panfilia, aportamos a Mira de Licia,
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].
donde el centurión, hallado un barco alejandrino que navegaba para Italia, nos embarcó en él.
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.
Navegando durante varios días lentamente, llegamos a duras penas frente a Gnido, porque nos impedía el viento; después navegamos a sotavento de Creta, frente a Salmona,
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].
y costeándola con dificultad, llegamos a un lugar llamado Buenos Puertos, cerca del cual está la ciudad de Lasea.
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],
Como hubiese transcurrido bastante tiempo y fuese ya peligrosa la navegación —había pasado ya el Ayuno—, Pablo les advirtió,
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.”
diciéndoles: “Compañeros, veo que el trayecto va a redundar en daño y mucho perjuicio no solamente para el cargamento y la nave, sino también para nuestras 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.
Mas el centurión daba más crédito al piloto y al patrón del barco, que a las palabras de Pablo,
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].
Y como el puerto no fuese cómodo para invernar, la mayor parte aconsejó partir de allí, por si podían arribar a Fenice e invernar allí, porque es un puerto de Creta que mira al sureste y al nordeste.
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].
Y soplando un suave viento sur, se figuraban que saldrían con su intento. Levaron, pues, anclas, y navegaban a lo largo de Creta, muy cerca de tierra.
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.”
Pero a poco andar se echó sobre la nave un viento tempestuoso, llamado euraquilón,
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.
La nave fue arrebatada, y sin poder hacer frente al viento, nos dejábamos llevar, abandonándonos a él.
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.
Pasando a lo largo de una islita llamada Cauda, a duras penas pudimos recoger el esquife.
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.
Una vez levantado este, hicieron uso de los auxilios y ciñeron la nave por debajo. Pero temerosos de dar en la Sirte, arriaron las velas y se dejaron llevar.
Al día siguiente, furiosamente combatidos por la tempestad, aligeraron;
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].
y al tercer día arrojaron con sus propias manos el equipo de la nave.
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.
Durante varios días no se dejó ver ni el sol ni las estrellas, y cargando sobre nosotros una gran borrasca, nos quitó al fin toda esperanza de salvarnos.
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].
Habiendo ellos pasado mucho tiempo sin comer, Pablo se puso en pie en medio de ellos, y dijo: “Era menester, oh varones, haberme dado crédito y no partir de Creta, para ahorrarnos este daño y perjuicio.
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.
Mas ahora, os exhorto a tener buen ánimo, porque no habrá pérdida de vida alguna entre vosotros, sino solamente de la nave.
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.
Pues esta noche estuvo junto a mí un ángel del Dios de quien soy y a quien sirvo,
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].’
el cual dijo: “No temas, Pablo; ante el César has de comparecer, y he aquí que Dios te ha hecho gracia de todos los que navegan contigo”.
25 So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
Por lo cual, compañeros, cobrad ánimo, pues confío en Dios que así sucederá como se me ha dicho.
26 However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
Mas hemos de ir a dar en cierta isla”.
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.
Llegada la noche decimacuarta y siendo nosotros llevados de una a otra parte en el Adria, hacia la mitad de la noche sospecharon los marineros que se acercaban a alguna tierra.
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.
Echando la sonda, hallaron veinte brazas; a corta distancia echaron otra vez la sonda y hallaron quince brazas.
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].
Temiendo diésemos en algunos escollos, echaron de la popa cuatro anclas y aguardaron ansiosamente el día.
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.
Los marineros intentaron escaparse de la nave y tenían ya bajado el esquife al mar, con el pretexto de querer echar las anclas de proa;
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.”
mas Pablo dijo al centurión y a los soldados: “Si estos no se quedan en el barco, vosotros no podéis salvaros”.
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
Entonces cortaron los soldados los cables del esquife y lo dejaron caer.
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.
En tanto iba apuntando el día, Pablo exhortó a todos a tomar alimento, diciendo: “Hace hoy catorce días que estáis en vela, permaneciendo ayunos y sin tomar 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].”
Os exhorto, pues, a tomar alimento, que es ( necesario ) para vuestra salud; porque no se perderá ni un cabello de la cabeza de ninguno de vosotros”.
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].
Dicho esto, tomó pan, dio gracias a Dios delante de todos, lo partió y comenzó a comer.
36 The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
Entonces cobraron ánimo todos ellos y tomaron también alimento.
37 Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
Éramos en la nave entre todos doscientas setenta y seis personas.
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.
Luego que hubieron comido a satisfacción, aligeraron la nave, echando el trigo al 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].
Llegado el día, no conocían aquella tierra, aunque echaban de ver una bahía que tenía playa; allí pensaban encallar la nave, si pudiesen.
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.
Cortando, pues, las anclas, las abandonaron en el mar; al mismo tiempo soltaron las cuerdas de los timones, y alzando el artimón al viento, se dirigieron hacia la playa;
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.
mas tropezando con una lengua de tierra, encallaron la nave; la proa hincada se quedó inmóvil, mientras que la popa se deshacía por la violencia de las olas.
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].
Los soldados tuvieron el propósito de matar a los presos, para que ninguno escapase 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.
Mas el centurión, queriendo salvar a Pablo, impidió que ejecutasen su propósito, mandando que quienes supieran nadar se arrojasen los primeros y saliesen a tierra,
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.
y los restantes, parte sobre tablas, parte sobre los despojos del barco. Así llegaron todos salvos a tierra.
