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.
Ut autem iudicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Iulio cohortis Augustae,
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.
ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiae loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
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.
Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Iulius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
4 And when we departed from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
5 And sailing through the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra a city of Lycia.
Et pelagus Ciliciae, et Pamphyliae navigantes, venimus Lystram, quae est Lyciae:
6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria bound for Italy, he put us on board it.
et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
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.
Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretae iuxta Salmonem:
8 And passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called the Fair-havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
et vix iuxta navigantes, venimus in locum quendam, qui vocatur Boniportus, cui iuxta erat civitas Thalassa.
9 And as much time was spent, and sailing was now dangerous, (for the fast was now past, ) Paul exhorted them,
Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum iam non esset tuta navigatio, eo quod ieiunium iam praeterisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
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.
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 regarded the pilot and the master of the vessel, more than the things that were said by Paul.
Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his, quae a Paulo dicebantur.
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.
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 And as the south wind blew gently, thinking they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed close by Crete.
Aspirante autem Austro, aestimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon.
Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus Typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
15 And the ship being hurried on, and not able to face the wind, we gave it up and so were carried along.
Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16 And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat.
In insulam autem quandam decurrentes, quae vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
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.
Qua sublata, adiutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
18 And as we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
Valida autem nobis tempestate iactatis, sequenti die iactum fecerunt:
19 and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship too.
et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis proiecerunt.
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.
Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, iam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostrae.
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.
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 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:
Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse. amissio enim nullius animae erit ex vobis, praeterquam navis.
23 for there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying,
Astitit enim mihi hac nocte Angelus Dei, cuius sum ego, et cui deservio,
24 Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Cesar, and behold God hath given thee all that are sailing with thee.
dicens: Ne timeas Paule, Caesari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes, qui navigant tecum.
25 Wherefore, Sirs, be of good courage; for I trust in God, that it shall be so, according as it was told me.
Propter quod bono animo estote viri: credo enim Deo, quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26 But we must be cast upon some island.
In insulam autem quandam oportet nos devenire.
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:
Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautae apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28 and sounding they found it twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, and sounded again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
29 Then fearing least they should fall upon some rocky places, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for day.
Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quattuor, optabant diem fieri.
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,
Nautis vero quaerentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,
31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, Unless these men stay in the ship ye cannot be saved.
dixit Paulus Centurioni, et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae, et passi sunt eam excidere.
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:
Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie expectantes ieiuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
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.
Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
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.
Et cum haec dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, coepit manducare.
36 And being all encouraged they also took some food.
Animaequiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls.
Eramus vero universae animae in navi ducentae septuaginta sex.
38 And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship and cast out the corn into the sea.
Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, iactantes triticum in mare.
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.
Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quendam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant, si possent, eiicere navem.
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.
Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes iuncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum aurae flatum tendebant ad littus.
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.
Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
42 And the counsel of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, least any of them should swim out and escape.
Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent: nequis cum enatasset, effugeret.
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:
Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: iussitque eos, qui possent natare, emittere se in mare primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:
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.
et ceteros alios in tabulis ferebant: quosdam super ea, quae de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animae evaderent ad terram.
