Hechos 27
1 Cuando se decidió que navegáramos hacia Italia, entregaron a Pablo y a otros presos a un centurión llamado Julio, de un batallón imperial.
And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy, and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,
2 Embarcamos en una nave de Adramitia que iba a zarpar hacia los puertos de Asia. Salimos al mar. Aristarco, un macedonio de Tesalónica, nos acompañaba.
Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
3 Al día siguiente atracamos en Sidón. Julio, quien trataba a Pablo con benevolencia, permitió que fuera a sus amigos y recibiera atención.
And the day following we came to Sidon. And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.
4 Zarpamos de allí y navegamos al abrigo de Chipre, a causa de que los vientos eran contrarios.
And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Navegamos a través del mar de Cilicia y Panfilia y arribamos a Mira de Licia.
And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
6 El centurión halló allí una nave alejandrina que navegaba hacia Italia y nos embarcó en ella.
And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.
7 Navegamos lentamente muchos días. Logramos arribar con dificultad frente a Gnido. El viento no nos permitía avanzar y navegamos al abrigo de Creta hacia Salmón.
And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:
8 La costeamos con dificultad y arribamos a Buenos Puertos, cerca de la ciudad de Lasea.
And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.
9 Transcurrió mucho tiempo y era peligrosa la navegación. Cuando pasó el ayuno, Pablo aconsejaba:
And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
10 Varones, percibo que la navegación será con perjuicio y mucha pérdida, no solo de la carga y de la nave, sino también de nuestras vidas.
Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 Pero el centurión ponía más atención al piloto y al propietario de la nave que a lo que Pablo decía.
But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
12 Como el puerto no era adecuado para pasar el invierno, la mayoría decidió zarpar de allí, para ver si podían arribar a Fenice, puerto de Creta que mira hacia el suroeste y el noroeste, y pasar allí el invierno.
And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.
13 Cuando comenzó un suave viento del sur, consideraron que habían logrado el propósito, levantaron anclas y costeaban Creta.
And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.
14 Pero poco después el viento huracanado llamado Euraquilón azotó la nave.
But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
15 Fue violentamente arrebatada, y no se pudo colocar la proa al viento. Cedimos a la [tempestad] y éramos llevados a la deriva.
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
16 Navegamos al abrigo de una islita llamada Cauda y difícilmente logramos controlar el bote salvavidas.
And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
17 Lo levantaron con cuerdas para atarlo a la nave. Temían que encallaran en la Sirte. Echaron el ancla flotante y se abandonaron a la deriva.
Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.
18 El día siguiente, como fuimos sacudidos furiosamente por la tempestad, echaron parte de la carga.
And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
19 Al tercer [día], echaron los equipos de la nave con sus propias manos.
And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 Durante muchos días no apareció el sol ni estrellas. Una gran tempestad cayó sobre nosotros. Perdimos toda esperanza de salvarnos.
And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
21 Había mucha abstinencia. Pablo se puso en pie y dijo: ¡Varones! Era necesario obedecer mi consejo y no zarpar de Creta para evitar este daño y esta pérdida.
And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.
22 Pero ahora les aconsejo que tengan buen ánimo, pues ninguno perderá la vida. Solo se perderá la nave.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Porque anoche me vino un ángel de Dios, a Quien sirvo y pertenezco,
For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
24 quien me dijo: No temas, Pablo. Tienes que comparecer ante César, y mira, Dios te concedió [la vida] de todos los que navegan contigo.
Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Por tanto, oh varones, tengan buen ánimo, porque creo a Dios que será así como me habló.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
26 Tendremos que encallar en alguna isla.
And we must come unto a certain island.
27 Cuando llegó la décimacuarta noche, al ser llevados nosotros a la deriva en el Adriático, a la media noche, los marineros sospechaban que estaban cerca de una tierra.
But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
28 Echaron una sonda y hallaron 36,6 metros. Después navegaron un poco más adelante y echaron otra vez la sonda. Hallaron 27,45 metros.
Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.
29 Teníamos el temor de encallar en algún lugar rocoso. Lanzaron cuatro anclas desde [la] popa y ansiaban que amaneciera.
Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 Los marineros trataron de huir de la nave. Habían bajado el bote salvavidas al mar con el pretexto de soltar anclas desde [la] proa.
But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,
31 Pablo advirtió al centurión y a los soldados: Si los marineros no permanecen en la nave, ustedes no se salvarán.
Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
32 Entonces los soldados cortaron las cuerdas del bote salvavidas y dejaron que se perdiera.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Y mientras llegaba el día, Pablo exhortaba a todos a recibir alimento: Hoy cumplimos 14 días de estar expectantes continuamente sin comer algo.
And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited, and continued fasting, taking nothing.
34 Por tanto, les ruego que coman algo, pues es bueno para su preservación, porque ni un cabello de su cabeza se perderá.
Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health’s sake; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish.
35 Cuando dijo esto, partió pan, dio gracias a Dios en presencia de todos, y comenzó a comer.
And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
36 Entonces todos se animaron y comieron.
Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 Había un total de 276 personas en la nave.
And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 Cuando comimos, echaron el trigo al mar para aligerar la nave.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
39 Cuando amaneció, no conocían la tierra. Veían una bahía que tenía playa. Decidieron, si les era posible, sacar allí la nave.
And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.
40 Al cortar [las] anclas, las dejaron en el mar. Soltaron al mismo tiempo las cuerdas de los timones. Cuando izaron la vela de proa al viento, enfilaron hacia la playa.
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.
41 Pero al caer en un lugar de corrientes cruzadas, encallaron la nave. Mientras la proa se clavó y quedó inmóvil, la popa era azotada por la violencia [de las olas].
And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.
42 Un plan de los soldados era matar a los presos para que ninguno se escapara nadando.
And the soldiers’ counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
43 Pero el centurión, quien se propuso salvar a Pablo, impidió el plan. Mandó que los que podían nadar, se lanzaran primero por la borda y salieran a la tierra,
But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.
44 y los demás, unos en tablones, y otros en algunos de los objetos de la nave. Así todos llegamos salvos a tierra.
And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
