Πραξεις 27
1 ωσ δε εκριθη του αποπλειν ημασ εισ την ιταλιαν παρεδιδουν τον τε παυλον και τινασ ετερουσ δεσμωτασ εκατονταρχη ονοματι ιουλιω σπειρησ σεβαστησ
And as it was determined that we should set sail into Italy, they delivered Paul, and some other prisoners, to a centurions of the Augustan Band, whose name was Julius.
2 επιβαντεσ δε πλοιω αδραμυττηνω μελλοντεσ πλειν τουσ κατα την ασιαν τοπουσ ανηχθημεν οντοσ συν ημιν αρισταρχου μακεδονοσ θεσσαλονικεωσ
And going on board a ship of Adramyttis, we weighed anchor, intending to sail by the coasts of Asia; Aristarchus, a Macedonian, of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 τη τε ετερα κατηχθημεν εισ σιδωνα φιλανθρωπωσ τε ο ιουλιοσ τω παυλω χρησαμενοσ επετρεψεν προσ τουσ φιλουσ πορευθεντα επιμελειασ τυχειν
And the next day we reached Sidon: and Julius, treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends, and to enjoy the benefit of their care.
4 κακειθεν αναχθεντεσ υπεπλευσαμεν την κυπρον δια το τουσ ανεμουσ ειναι εναντιουσ
And weighing anchor thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 το τε πελαγοσ το κατα την κιλικιαν και παμφυλιαν διαπλευσαντεσ κατηλθομεν εισ μυρα τησ λυκιασ
And sailing through the sea over against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 κακει ευρων ο εκατονταρχοσ πλοιον αλεξανδρινον πλεον εισ την ιταλιαν ενεβιβασεν ημασ εισ αυτο
And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria, bound for italy, put us on board of it.
7 εν ικαναισ δε ημεραισ βραδυπλοουντεσ και μολισ γενομενοι κατα την κνιδον μη προσεωντοσ ημασ του ανεμου υπεπλευσαμεν την κρητην κατα σαλμωνην
And when we had sailed slowly for several days, and were hardly got over against Cnidus, the wind now permitting us; we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone:
8 μολισ τε παραλεγομενοι αυτην ηλθομεν εισ τοπον τινα καλουμενον καλουσ λιμενασ ω εγγυσ ην πολισ λασαια
and passing it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called the Fair Havens, in the neighborhood of which, was the city of Lasea.
9 ικανου δε χρονου διαγενομενου και οντοσ ηδη επισφαλουσ του πλοοσ δια το και την νηστειαν ηδη παρεληλυθεναι παρηνει ο παυλοσ
And, as much time was spent, and sailing was now hazardous, because the fast was already over, Paul exhorted them,
10 λεγων αυτοισ ανδρεσ θεωρω οτι μετα υβρεωσ και πολλησ ζημιασ ου μονον του φορτιου και του πλοιου αλλα και των ψυχων ημων μελλειν εσεσθαι τον πλουν
saying to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with injury and great damage, not only to the lading and to the ship, but also to our lives.
11 ο δε εκατονταρχησ τω κυβερνητη και τω ναυκληρω επειθετο μαλλον η τοισ υπο του παυλου λεγομενοισ
But the centurion paid greater regard to the pilot, and the master of the vessel, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 ανευθετου δε του λιμενοσ υπαρχοντοσ προσ παραχειμασιαν οι πλειουσ εθεντο βουλην αναχθηναι κακειθεν ει πωσ δυναιντο καταντησαντεσ εισ φοινικα παραχειμασαι λιμενα τησ κρητησ βλεποντα κατα λιβα και κατα χωρον
And as the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from thence, if they might possibly reach Phenice, to winter there;
13 υποπνευσαντοσ δε νοτου δοξαντεσ τησ προθεσεωσ κεκρατηκεναι αραντεσ ασσον παρελεγοντο την κρητην
which is a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest: and as the south win blew gently, supposing they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor, and sailed on close to Crete.
14 μετ ου πολυ δε εβαλεν κατ αυτησ ανεμοσ τυφωνικοσ ο καλουμενοσ ευροκλυδων
But not long after, there arose against her a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon.
15 συναρπασθεντοσ δε του πλοιου και μη δυναμενου αντοφθαλμειν τω ανεμω επιδοντεσ εφερομεθα
And as the ship was violently hurried away, and was not able to bear up against the wind, we gave her up, and were driven.
16 νησιον δε τι υποδραμοντεσ καλουμενον κλαυδην μολισ ισχυσαμεν περικρατεισ γενεσθαι τησ σκαφησ
An running under a certain island, called Clauda, we were hardly able to get masters of the boat:
17 ην αραντεσ βοηθειαισ εχρωντο υποζωννυντεσ το πλοιον φοβουμενοι τε μη εισ την συρτην εκπεσωσιν χαλασαντεσ το σκευοσ ουτωσ εφεροντο
which, when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing, lest they should fall upon the quicksands, they struck sail, and so were driven.
18 σφοδρωσ δε χειμαζομενων ημων τη εξησ εκβολην εποιουντο
And we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
19 και τη τριτη αυτοχειρεσ την σκευην του πλοιου ερριψαμεν
and the third day we cast out, with our own hands, the tackling of the ship.
20 μητε δε ηλιου μητε αστρων επιφαινοντων επι πλειονασ ημερασ χειμωνοσ τε ουκ ολιγου επικειμενου λοιπον περιηρειτο πασα ελπισ του σωζεσθαι ημασ
Now, as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest pressed upon us, all remainder of hope that we might be delivered, was taken away.
21 πολλησ δε ασιτιασ υπαρχουσησ τοτε σταθεισ ο παυλοσ εν μεσω αυτων ειπεν εδει μεν ω ανδρεσ πειθαρχησαντασ μοι μη αναγεσθαι απο τησ κρητησ κερδησαι τε την υβριν ταυτην και την ζημιαν
And when there was great want of food, then Paul, standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, you ought to have hearkened to me, and not to have loosed from Crete, and incurred this injury and loss.
22 και τα νυν παραινω υμασ ευθυμειν αποβολη γαρ ψυχησ ουδεμια εσται εξ υμων πλην του πλοιου
Nevertheless, even now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any life among you; but only of the ship.
23 παρεστη γαρ μοι ταυτη τη νυκτι αγγελοσ του θεου ου ειμι ω και λατρευω
For there appeared to me this night, an angel of the God whose I am, and whom I worship,
24 λεγων μη φοβου παυλε καισαρι σε δει παραστηναι και ιδου κεχαρισται σοι ο θεοσ παντασ τουσ πλεοντασ μετα σου
saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be presented before Cesar; and, behold, God has given you all them that sail with you.
25 διο ευθυμειτε ανδρεσ πιστευω γαρ τω θεω οτι ουτωσ εσται καθ ον τροπον λελαληται μοι
Wherefore, take courage, men; for I trust in God that it shall be so, even as it was told me.
26 εισ νησον δε τινα δει ημασ εκπεσειν
But we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 ωσ δε τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατη νυξ εγενετο διαφερομενων ημων εν τω αδρια κατα μεσον τησ νυκτοσ υπενοουν οι ναυται προσαγειν τινα αυτοισ χωραν
And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were tossed up and down in the Adriatic sea, the mariners suspected, about midnight that they drew near to some land;
28 και βολισαντεσ ευρον οργυιασ εικοσι βραχυ δε διαστησαντεσ και παλιν βολισαντεσ ευρον οργυιασ δεκαπεντε
and sounding, they found it twenty fathoms: and having gone a little way from thence, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
29 φοβουμενοι τε μηπωσ εισ τραχεισ τοπουσ εκπεσωμεν εκ πρυμνησ ριψαντεσ αγκυρασ τεσσαρασ ηυχοντο ημεραν γενεσθαι
And fearing lest they should fall upon some rocky shore, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished that the day would break.
30 των δε ναυτων ζητουντων φυγειν εκ του πλοιου και χαλασαντων την σκαφην εισ την θαλασσαν προφασει ωσ εκ πρωρασ μελλοντων αγκυρασ εκτεινειν
But when the mariners endeavored to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under pretense that they were about to carry out anchors from the ship-head;
31 ειπεν ο παυλοσ τω εκατονταρχη και τοισ στρατιωταισ εαν μη ουτοι μεινωσιν εν τω πλοιω υμεισ σωθηναι ου δυνασθε
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these continue in the ship, you can not be saved.
32 τοτε οι στρατιωται απεκοψαν τα σχοινια τησ σκαφησ και ειασαν αυτην εκπεσειν
Then the soldiers cut off the cords of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 αχρι δε ου ημελλεν ημερα γινεσθαι παρεκαλει ο παυλοσ απαντασ μεταλαβειν τροφησ λεγων τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατην σημερον ημεραν προσδοκωντεσ ασιτοι διατελειτε μηδεν προσλαβομενοι
And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, To-day, whilst waiting for this fourteenth day, you continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 διο παρακαλω υμασ προσλαβειν τροφησ τουτο γαρ προσ τησ υμετερασ σωτηριασ υπαρχει ουδενοσ γαρ υμων θριξ εκ τησ κεφαλησ πεσειται
I exhort you, therefore, to take a refreshment; for this is conducive to your safety: for not a hair shall fall from the head of any of you.
35 ειπων δε ταυτα και λαβων αρτον ευχαριστησεν τω θεω ενωπιον παντων και κλασασ ηρξατο εσθιειν
And when he had spoke thus, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God, before them all; and having broken it, he began to eat.
36 ευθυμοι δε γενομενοι παντεσ και αυτοι προσελαβοντο τροφησ
And being all encouraged, they also took some food.
37 ημεν δε εν τω πλοιω αι πασαι ψυχαι διακοσιαι εβδομηκοντα εξ
And we were in the ship, in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 κορεσθεντεσ δε τησ τροφησ εκουφιζον το πλοιον εκβαλλομενοι τον σιτον εισ την θαλασσαν
And being satisfied with food, they lightened the ship; and cast the corn into the sea.
39 οτε δε ημερα εγενετο την γην ουκ επεγινωσκον κολπον δε τινα κατενοουν εχοντα αιγιαλον εισ ον εβουλευσαντο ει δυνατον εξωσαι το πλοιον
And when it was day, they did not know the land: but they perceived a certain creek, with a shore, into which they determined, if they were able, to force the ship.
40 και τασ αγκυρασ περιελοντεσ ειων εισ την θαλασσαν αμα ανεντεσ τασ ζευκτηριασ των πηδαλιων και επαραντεσ τον αρτεμονα τη πνεουση κατειχον εισ τον αιγιαλον
And having cut off the anchors, leaving them in the sea, they, at the same time, loosing the rudder bands, and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, pressed toward the shore.
41 περιπεσοντεσ δε εισ τοπον διθαλασσον επωκειλαν την ναυν και η μεν πρωρα ερεισασα εμεινεν ασαλευτοσ η δε πρυμνα ελυετο υπο τησ βιασ των κυματων
But falling on a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground, and the fore part stuck fast, and remained immovable, while the hinder part was broken by the force of the waves.
42 των δε στρατιωτων βουλη εγενετο ινα τουσ δεσμωτασ αποκτεινωσιν μη τισ εκκολυμβησασ διαφυγη
And the counsel of the soldiers was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim away, and escape.
43 ο δε εκατονταρχοσ βουλομενοσ διασωσαι τον παυλον εκωλυσεν αυτουσ του βουληματοσ εκελευσεν τε τουσ δυναμενουσ κολυμβαν απορριψαντασ πρωτουσ επι την γην εξιεναι
But the centurion, being desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and commanded those that could swim, to throw themselves out first, into the sea, and get away to land:
44 και τουσ λοιπουσ ουσ μεν επι σανισιν ουσ δε επι τινων των απο του πλοιου και ουτωσ εγενετο παντασ διασωθηναι επι την γην
and the remainder, some upon planks, and others upon some of the things of the ship. And so it happened that they all got safe to land.
