Acts 27
1 And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,
Ut autem iudicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Iulio cohortis Augustæ,
2 and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,
ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
3 on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit [him], having gone on unto friends, to receive [their] care.
Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Iulius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
4 And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,
Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propter ea quod essent venti contrarii.
5 and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,
Et pelagus Ciliciæ, et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ:
6 and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,
et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
7 and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,
Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ iuxta Salmonem:
8 and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called 'Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city [of] Lasaea.
et vix iuxta navigantes, venimus in locum quendam, qui vocatur Boni Portus, cui iuxta erat civitas Thalassa.
9 And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous — because of the fast also being already past — Paul was admonishing,
Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum iam non esset tuta navigatio, eo quod et ieiunium iam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
10 saying to them, 'Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives — the voyage is about to be;'
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 to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;
Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his, quæ a Paulo dicebantur.
12 and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, [there] to winter, [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,
Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phœnicen, hiemare, portum Cretæ respicientem ad Africum, et ad Corum.
13 and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
Aspirante autem Austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
14 and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,
Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus Typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
15 and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were borne on,
Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16 and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
In insulam autem quandam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
17 which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast — so were borne on.
Qua sublata, adiutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
18 And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
Valida autem nobis tempestate iactatis, sequenti die iactum fecerunt:
19 and on the third [day] with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,
et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis proiecerunt.
20 and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.
Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, iam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.
21 And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, 'It behoved [you], indeed, O men — having hearkened to me — not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
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 and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you — but of the ship;
Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse. Amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.
23 for there stood by me this night a messenger of God — whose I am, and whom I serve —
Astitit enim mihi hac nocte Angelus Dei, cuius sum ego, et cui deservio,
24 saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;
dicens: Ne timeas Paule, Cæsari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes, qui navigant tecum.
25 wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,
Propter quod bono animo estote viri: credo enim Deo, quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26 and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.'
In insulam autem quandam oportet nos devenire.
27 And when the fourteenth night came — we being borne up and down in the Adria — toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them;
Sed postea quam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28 and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,
Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
29 and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.
Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quattuor, optabant diem fieri.
30 And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as [if] out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors,
Nautis vero quærentibus 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, 'If these do not remain in the ship — ye are not able to be saved;'
dixit Paulus Centurioni, et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
32 then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off.
Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.
33 And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, 'Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, 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 call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;'
Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
35 and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;
Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.
36 and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,
Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
37 (and we were — all the souls in the ship — two hundred, seventy and six),
Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.
38 and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.
Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, iactantes triticum in mare.
39 And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward 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 the anchors having taken up, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time — having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind — they were making for the shore,
Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes iuncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum tendebant ad littus.
41 and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken 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 soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,
Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent: ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret.
43 but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first — to get unto the land,
Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: iussitque eos, qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:
44 and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.
et ceteros alios in tabulis ferebant: quosdam super ea, quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
