Acts 27
1 Now as it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan cohort.
Men da det var besluttet, at vi skulde afsejle til Italien, overgave de baade Paulus og nogle andre Fanger til en Høvedsmand ved Navn Julius af den kejserlige Afdeling.
2 And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, we went off, intending to sail by the coasts of Asia; Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.
Vi gik da om Bord paa et adramyttisk Skib, som skulde gaa til Stederne langs med Asiens Kyster, og vi sejlede af Sted; og Aristarkus, en Makedonier fra Thessalonika, var med os.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends to get proper supplies.
Og den næste Dag anløb vi Sidon. Og Julius, som behandlede Paulus venligt, tilstedte ham at gaa hen til sine Venner og nyde Pleje.
4 And when we departed from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Og vi fore bort derfra og sejlede ind under Kypern, fordi Vinden var imod.
5 And sailing through the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra a city of Lycia.
Og vi sejlede igennem Farvandet ved Kilikien og Pamfylien og kom til Myra i Lykien.
6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria bound for Italy, he put us on board it.
Og der fandt Høvedsmanden et aleksandrinsk Skib, som sejlede til Italien, og bragte os over i det.
7 And as we sailed slowly for many days, and were hardly got on to Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete by Salmone.
Men da Sejladsen i mange Dage gik langsomt, og vi med Nød og næppe naaede henimod Knidus (thi Vinden føjede os ikke), holdt vi ned under Kreta ved Salmone.
8 And passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called the Fair-havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
Med Nød og næppe sejlede vi der forbi og kom til et Sted, som kaldes „Gode Havne‟, nær ved Byen Lasæa.
9 And as much time was spent, and sailing was now dangerous, (for the fast was now past, ) Paul exhorted them,
Men da en rum Tid var forløben, og Sejladsen allerede var farlig, saasom endog Fasten allerede var forbi, formanede Paulus dem og sagde:
10 saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage is like to be prejudicial and with much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives.
„I Mænd! jeg ser, at Sejladsen vil medføre Ulykke og megen Skade, ikke alene paa Ladning og Skib, men ogsaa paa vort Liv.‟
11 But the centurion regarded the pilot and the master of the vessel, more than the things that were said by Paul.
Men Høvedsmanden stolede mere paa Styrmanden og Skipperen end paa det, som Paulus sagde.
12 And the haven not being commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to sail from thence, if they could possibly reach to Phenice to winter at that haven of Crete, which looks both to the south-west and north-west.
Og da Havnen ikke egnede sig til Vinterleje, besluttede de fleste, at man skulde sejle derfra, om man muligt kunde naa hen og overvintre i Føniks, en Havn paa Kreta, som vender imod Sydvest og Nordvest.
13 And as the south wind blew gently, thinking they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed close by Crete.
Da der nu blæste en Søndenvind op, mente de at have naaet deres Hensigt, lettede Anker og sejlede langs med og nærmere ind under Kreta.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon.
Men ikke længe derefter for der en heftig Storm ned over den, den saakaldte „Eurakvilo‟.
15 And the ship being hurried on, and not able to face the wind, we gave it up and so were carried along.
Og da Skibet reves med og ikke kunde holde op imod Vinden, opgave vi det og lode os drive.
16 And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat.
Men da vi løb ind under en lille Ø, som kaldes Klavde, formaaede vi med Nød og næppe at bjærge Baaden.
17 Which when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing least they should fall into the quick-sands, they struck fail, and so were driven.
Men efter at have trukket den op, anvendte de Nødmidler og omsurrede Skibet; og da de frygtede for, at de skulde blive kastede ned i Syrten, firede de Sejlene ned og lode sig saaledes drive.
18 And as we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
Og da vi maatte kæmpe haardt med Stormen, begyndte de næste Dag at kaste over Bord.
19 and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship too.
Og paa den tredje Dag udkastede de med egne Hænder Skibets Redskaber.
20 And as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
Men da hverken Sol eller Stjerner lode sig se i flere Dage, og vi havde et Uvejr over os, som ikke var ringe, blev fra nu af alt Haab om Redning os betaget.
21 But after long abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not loosed from Crete, and so have saved this damage and loss.
Og da man længe ikke havde taget Føde til sig, saa stod Paulus frem midt iblandt dem og sagde: „I Mænd! man burde have adlydt mig og ikke være sejlet bort fra Kreta og have sparet os denne Ulykke og Skade.
22 However, I now exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any life among you, but only of the ship:
Og nu formaner jeg eder til at være ved godt Mod; thi ingen Sjæl af eder skal forgaa, men alene Skibet.
23 for there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying,
Thi i denne Nat stod der en Engel hos mig fra den Gud, hvem jeg tilhører, hvem jeg ogsaa tjener, og sagde:
24 Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Cesar, and behold God hath given thee all that are sailing with thee.
„Frygt ikke, Paulus! du skal blive stillet for Kejseren; og se, Gud har skænket dig alle dem, som sejle med dig.‟
25 Wherefore, Sirs, be of good courage; for I trust in God, that it shall be so, according as it was told me.
Derfor, I Mænd! værer ved godt Mod; thi jeg har den Tillid til Gud, at det skal ske saaledes, som der er blevet talt til mig.
26 But we must be cast upon some island.
Men vi maa strande paa en Ø.‟
27 And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the mariners thought they drew near to some land:
Men da den fjortende Nat kom, og vi dreve i det adriatiske Hav, kom det Skibsfolkene for ved Midnatstid, at der var Land i Nærheden.
28 and sounding they found it twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, and sounded again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
Og da de loddede, fik de tyve Favne, og da de lidt længere fremme atter loddede, fik de femten Favne.
29 Then fearing least they should fall upon some rocky places, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for day.
Og da de frygtede, at vi skulde støde paa Skær, kastede de fire Ankere ud fra Bagstavnen og bade til, at det maatte blive Dag.
30 But the mariners endeavouring to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea, under pretence that they were going to stretch out anchors from the head of the ship,
Men da Skibsfolkene gjorde Forsøg paa at flygte fra Skibet og firede Baaden ned i Søen under Paaskud af, at de vilde lægge Ankere ud fra Forstavnen,
31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, Unless these men stay in the ship ye cannot be saved.
da sagde Paulus til Høvedsmanden og til Stridsmændene: „Dersom disse ikke blive i Skibet, kunne I ikke reddes.‟
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Da kappede Stridsmændene Baadens Tove og lode den falde ned.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, Fourteen days this day ye continue waiting without proper food, having taken nothing:
Men indtil det vilde dages, formanede Paulus alle til at tage Næring til sig og sagde: „Det er i Dag den fjortende Dag, I have ventet og tilbragt uden at spise og intet taget til eder.
34 wherefore I exhort you to take some nourishment, for this is necessary for your safety: for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.
Derfor formaner jeg eder til at tage Næring til eder, thi dette hører med til eders Redning; ikke et Haar paa Hovedet skal gaa tabt for nogen af eder.‟
35 And having spoken thus, he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and when he had broken it he began to eat.
Men da han havde sagt dette, tog han Brød og takkede Gud for alles Øjne og brød det og begyndte at spise.
36 And being all encouraged they also took some food.
Da bleve de alle frimodige og toge ogsaa Næring til sig.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls.
Men vi vare i Skibet i alt to Hundrede og seks og halvfjerdsindstyve Sjæle.
38 And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship and cast out the corn into the sea.
Og da de vare blevne mættede med Føde, lettede de Skibet ved at kaste Levnedsmidlerne i Søen.
39 And when it was day, they did not know the land near them: but they perceived a certain creek with a shore, into which they were desirous, if they could, to have thrust the ship.
Men da det blev Dag, kendte de ikke Landet; men de bemærkede en Vig med en Forstrand, som de besluttede, om muligt, at sætte Skibet ind paa.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they trusted the ship to the sea, at the same time, loosing the rudder-bands; and hoisting up the main-sail to the wind, they made to the shore.
Og de kappede Ankrene, som de lode blive i Søen, og løste tillige Rortovene, og idet de satte Raasejlet til for Vinden, holdt de ind paa Strandbredden.
41 But falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship a-ground; and the fore-part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was dashed in pieces by the violence of the waves.
Men de stødte paa en Grund med dybt Vand paa begge Sider, og der satte de Skibet, og Forstavnen borede sig fast og stod urokkelig, men Bagstavnen sloges sønder af Bølgernes Magt.
42 And the counsel of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, least any of them should swim out and escape.
Det var nu Stridsmændenes Raad, at man skulde ihjelslaa Fangerne, for at ingen skulde svømme bort og undkomme.
43 But the centurion, desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and ordered those that could swim to throw themselves out first, and get off to land:
Men Høvedsmanden, som vilde frelse Paulus, forhindrede dem i dette Forehavende og bød, at de, som kunde svømme, skulde først kaste sig ud og slippe i Land,
44 and the rest, some on planks, and others on some other things out of the ship. And so it came to pass that they all got safe to land.
og de andre bjærge sig, nogle paa Brædder, andre paa Stykker af Skibet. Og saaledes skete det, at alle bleve reddede i Land.
