Acts 27
1 When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners under the charge of a centurion named Julius of the Imperial Regiment.
Ut autem iudicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Iulio cohortis Augustae,
2 We boarded a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail along the coast of Asia. So we went to sea. Aristarchus from Thessalonica in Macedonia went with us.
ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiae loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
3 The next day we landed at the city of Sidon, where Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to go to his friends to receive their care.
Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Iulius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
4 From there we went to sea and sailed under the lee of Cyprus, close to the island, because the winds were against us.
Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
5 Then we had sailed across the sea and were near the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra, a city of Lycia.
Et pelagus Ciliciae, et Pamphyliae navigantes, venimus Lystram, quae est Lyciae:
6 There, the centurion found a ship from Alexandria that was going to sail to Italy. He put us in it.
et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
7 When we had sailed slowly for many days and had finally arrived with difficulty near Cnidus, the wind no longer allowed us to go that way, so we sailed along the sheltered side of Crete, opposite Salmone.
Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretae iuxta Salmonem:
8 We sailed along the coast with difficulty, until we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, which is near the city of Lasea.
et vix iuxta navigantes, venimus in locum quendam, qui vocatur Boniportus, cui iuxta erat civitas Thalassa.
9 We had now taken much time, the time of the Jewish fast also had passed, and it had now become dangerous to sail. So Paul warned them,
Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum iam non esset tuta navigatio, eo quod ieiunium iam praeterisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
10 and said, “Men, I see that the voyage we are about to take will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum iniuria, et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.
11 But the centurion paid more attention to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things that were spoken by Paul.
Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his, quae a Paulo dicebantur.
12 Because the harbor was not easy to spend the winter in, most of the sailors advised to sail from there, if by any means we could reach the city of Phoenix, to spend the winter there. Phoenix is a harbor in Crete, and it faces northeast and southeast.
Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phoenicen, hiemare, portum Cretae respicientem ad Africum, et ad Corum.
13 When the south wind began to blow gently, the sailors thought that they had what they needed. So they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.
Aspirante autem Austro, aestimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
14 But after a short time a wind of hurricane force, called the northeaster, began to beat down from the island.
Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus Typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
15 When the ship was caught by the storm and could no longer head into the wind, we had to give way to the storm and were driven along by the wind.
Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16 We sailed along the lee of a small island called Cauda, and with difficulty we were able to secure the lifeboat.
In insulam autem quandam decurrentes, quae vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
17 When they had hoisted the lifeboat up, they used its ropes to bind the hull of the ship. They were afraid that they should run upon the sandbars of Syrtis, so they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
Qua sublata, adiutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
18 We took such a violent battering by the storm that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard.
Valida autem nobis tempestate iactatis, sequenti die iactum fecerunt:
19 On the third day the sailors threw overboard the ship's equipment with their own hands.
et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis proiecerunt.
20 When the sun and stars did not shine on us for many days, and the great storm still beat upon us, any more hope that we should be saved was abandoned.
Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, iam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostrae.
21 When they had gone long without food, then Paul stood up among the sailors and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, so as to get this injury and loss.
Et cum multa ieiunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit: Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere iniuriam hanc, et iacturam.
22 Now I urge you to take courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the loss of the ship.
Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse. amissio enim nullius animae erit ex vobis, praeterquam navis.
23 For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong, whom also I worship—his angel stood beside me
Astitit enim mihi hac nocte Angelus Dei, cuius sum ego, et cui deservio,
24 and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar, and see, God in his kindness has given to you all those who are sailing with you.'
dicens: Ne timeas Paule, Caesari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes, qui navigant tecum.
25 Therefore be cheerful, men! For I trust God that it will happen just as it was told to me.
Propter quod bono animo estote viri: credo enim Deo, quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26 But we must run aground upon some island.”
In insulam autem quandam oportet nos devenire.
27 When the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven this way and that in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors thought that they were approaching some land.
Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautae apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms; after a little while, they took more soundings and found fifteen fathoms.
Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
29 They were afraid that we might crash on the rocks, so they lowered four anchors from the stern and prayed that morning would come soon.
Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quattuor, optabant diem fieri.
30 The sailors were looking for a way to abandon the ship and had lowered the lifeboat into the sea, and pretended that they would throw down the anchors from the bow.
Nautis vero quaerentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,
31 But Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
dixit Paulus Centurioni, et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it drift away.
Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae, et passi sunt eam excidere.
33 When daylight was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food. He said, “This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and do not eat; you have eaten nothing.
Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie expectantes ieiuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
34 So I urge you to share some food, for this is necessary for you to survive. For not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”
Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
35 When he had said this, he took bread and he thanked God in the sight of everyone. Then he broke the bread and began to eat.
Et cum haec dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, coepit manducare.
36 Then they were all encouraged and they also took food.
Animaequiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
37 We were 276 people in the ship.
Eramus vero universae animae in navi ducentae septuaginta sex.
38 When they had eaten enough, they made the ship lighter by throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, iactantes triticum in mare.
39 When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a beach, and they discussed whether they could drive the ship onto it.
Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quendam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant, si possent, eiicere navem.
40 So they cut loose the anchors and left them in the sea. At the same time they loosed the ropes of the rudders and raised the foresail to the wind; and so they headed to the beach.
Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes iuncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum aurae flatum tendebant ad littus.
41 But they came to a place where two currents met, and the ship ran into the ground. The bow of the ship stuck there and remained unmovable, but the stern began to break up because of the waves' violence.
Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
42 The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners so that none of them could swim away and escape.
Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent: nequis cum enatasset, effugeret.
43 But the centurion wanted to save Paul, so he stopped their plan; and he ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: iussitque eos, qui possent natare, emittere se in mare primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:
44 Then the rest of the men should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. In this way it happened that all of us came safely to land.
et ceteros alios in tabulis ferebant: quosdam super ea, quae de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animae evaderent ad terram.
