Hechos 27
1 Mas como fue determinado que habíamos de navegar para Italia, entregaron a Pablo y algunos otros presos a un centurión, llamado Julio, de la compañía Augusta.
When it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to hand over Paul and a few other prisoners to the custody of Julius, a centurion of the Imperial Regiment.
2 Así que, embarcándonos en la nave Adrumentina, alzamos velas, estando con nosotros Aristarco, Macedonio de Tesalónica, comenzando a navegar junto a los lugares de Asia.
We embarked in a ship of Adramyttium which was about to sail to the ports of the province of Asia, and put to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, accompanied us.
3 Al otro día llegamos a Sidón; y Julio, tratando a Pablo humanamente, le permitió que fuese a los amigos, para ser de ellos asistido.
The next day we touched at Sidon. There Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to visit his friends and refresh himself.
4 Y alzando velas desde allí, navegamos bajo de Chipre, porque los vientos eran contrarios.
Putting to sea from thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us;
5 Y habiendo pasado el mar de Cilicia y Panfilia, arribamos a Mira, ciudad de Licia.
and after sailing across the Cilician and Pamphylian waters, we came to Myra, in Lycia.
6 Y hallando allí el centurión una nave Alejandrina que navegaba a Italia, nos puso en ella.
And there the centurion found an Alexandrian ship bound for Italy, and put us on board of her.
7 Y navegando muchos días despacio, y habiendo apenas llegado delante de Gnido, no dejándonos el viento, navegamos bajo de Creta, junto a Salmón.
For many days we sailed slowly, and then arrived with difficulty over against Cnidus; from this point, as the wind did not further favor us, we ran under the lee of Crete, off Cape Salmone;
8 Y costeándola difícilmente, llegamos a un lugar que llaman Buenos Puertos, cerca del cual estaba la ciudad de Lasea.
and coasting along with difficulty we reached a place called Fair Havens, not far from the town of Lasea.
9 Y pasado mucho tiempo, y siendo ya peligrosa la navegación, porque ya era pasado el ayuno, Pablo amonestaba,
By this time the season was far advanced, and sailing had become dangerous (for the Autumn Fast was past); so Paul began to warn them.
10 diciendo: Varones, veo que con trabajo y mucho daño, no sólo de la cargazón y de la nave, mas aun de nuestras personas, habrá de ser la navegación.
"Sirs," he said to them, "I perceive that the voyage will be attended with injury and serious loss, not only to the cargo and to the ship, but also to our own lives."
11 Pero el centurión creía más al piloto y al patrón de la nave, que a lo que Pablo decía.
But the centurion paid greater heed to the master and to the owner than to anything that was spoken by Paul;
12 Y no habiendo puerto cómodo para invernar, muchos acordaron pasar aun de allí, por si pudiesen arribar a Fenice e invernar allí, que es un puerto de Creta, al Africa y al poniente.
and as the harbor was ill adapted for winter quarters, the majority advised putting out to sea from thence, to see whether they could get to Phoenix and winter there, a harbor on the coast of Crete facing northeast and southeast.
13 Y soplando el austro, pareciéndoles que ya tenían lo que deseaban, alzando velas, tenían cerca la costa de Creta.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14 Pero no mucho después dio en ella un viento repentino, que se llama Euroaquilo.
But it was not long before a furious wind, called Euroclydon, rushed down from the island;
15 Y siendo arrebatada de él la nave, que no podía resistir contra el viento, dejada la nave a los vientos, éramos llevados.
when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and let her drive.
16 Y llevados de la corriente hacia una pequeña isla que se llama Clauda, apenas pudimos ganar el esquife;
Then we ran under the lee of a little island named Claudia, where with great difficulty we were able to secure the ship’s boat.
17 el cual tomado, usaban de remedios, ciñendo la nave; y teniendo temor de que diesen en la Sirte, abajadas las velas, eran así llevados.
After hauling it aboard, they used ropes to undergird the ship, and since they were fearful lest they should be driven upon the Syrtes, they lowered the gear and lay to.
18 Mas siendo atormentados de una vehemente tempestad, al siguiente día alijaron;
And as we were being terribly battered by the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard,
19 y al tercer día nosotros, con nuestras manos, arrojamos las obras muertas de la nave.
and on the third day with their own hands they threw the ship’s tackling overboard.
20 Y no apareciendo sol ni estrellas por muchos días, y viniendo una tempestad no pequeña, ya era perdida toda la esperanza de nuestra salud.
Then when for many days neither sun nor stars were seen, and a great tempest still beat upon us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away from us.
21 Entonces Pablo, como hacía ya mucho que no comíamos, puesto en pie en medio de ellos, dijo: Fuera de cierto conveniente, oh varones, haberme oído, y no partir de Creta, y evitar este inconveniente y daño.
When for a long time they had been without food, Paul stood among them and said. "Men, you ought to have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and so have spared yourselves this injury and loss.
22 Mas ahora os amonesto que tengáis buen ánimo; porque ninguna pérdida de persona habrá de vosotros, sino solamente de la nave.
"But now take courage. There will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship,
23 Porque esta noche ha estado conmigo el ángel del Dios del cual yo soy, y al cual sirvo,
"for last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me and said.
24 diciendo: Pablo, no temas; es necesario que seas presentado delante de César; y he aquí, Dios te ha dado a todos los que navegan contigo.
"‘Fear not, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you the lives of all who are sailing with you.’
25 Por tanto, oh varones, tened buen ánimo; porque yo confío en Dios que será así como me ha dicho;
"So take courage, men! I believe God, I believe that things will turn out exactly as it has been told me.
26 con todo, es necesario que demos en una isla.
"But we must be cast upon a certain island."
27 Y venida la décimacuarta noche, y siendo llevados en el mar Adriático, los marineros a la media noche sospecharon que estaban cerca de alguna tierra;
It was now the fourteenth night, and we were drifting through the Adriatic Sea when, about midnight, the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near to some land.
28 y echando la sonda, hallaron veinte pasos, y pasando un poco más adelante, volviendo a echar la sonda, hallaron quince pasos.
So they sounded and found twenty fathoms; and after a little they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Y habiendo temor de dar en lugares escabrosos, echando cuatro anclas de la popa, deseaban que se hiciese de día.
Then, fearing lest we should run ashore on the rocks, they threw out four anchors from the stern, and longed for day to come.
30 Entonces procurando los marineros huir de la nave, y echando el esquife al mar, aparentando como que querían largar las anclas de proa,
And when the sailors were trying to flee from the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea under pretext of laying anchors from the bow,
31 Pablo dijo al centurión y a los soldados: Si éstos no se quedan en la nave, vosotros no podéis salvaros.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these men remain on the ship, you cannot be saved."
32 Entonces los soldados cortaron los cabos del esquife, y lo dejaron caer.
Then the soldiers cut the ropes of the ship’s boat and let her fall off.
33 Cuando comenzó a ser de día, Pablo exhortaba a todos que comiesen, diciendo: Este es el décimocuarto día que esperáis y permanecéis en ayunas, no comiendo nada.
And while day was dawning, Paul kept urging them all to take some food. "This is the fourteenth day," he said, "that you have been on the watch, fasting, having eaten nothing.
34 Por tanto, os ruego que comáis por vuestra salud; que ni aun un cabello de la cabeza de ninguno de vosotros perecerá.
"So I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety. For there shall not a hair perish from the head of any one of you."
35 Y habiendo dicho esto, tomando el pan, dio gracias a Dios en presencia de todos, y partiendo, comenzó a comer.
When he had so said and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God before them all, and broke it and began to eat.
36 Entonces todos teniendo ya mejor ánimo, comieron ellos también.
Then they all cheered up and themselves took food.
37 Y éramos todas las personas en la nave doscientas setenta y seis.
There were in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls, all told.
38 Y satisfechos de comida, aliviaban la nave, echando el grano al mar.
After eating a hearty meal, they began to lighten the ship by throwing the wheat overboard.
39 Cuando se hizo de día, no conocían la tierra; pero veían un golfo que tenía orilla, al cual acordaron echar, si pudiesen, la nave.
When it was day they tried in vain to recognize the land, but they spied an inlet with a sandy beach, and they began conferring to see whether they could drive the ship into it.
40 Alzando las anclas, se dejaron al mar, largando también las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al soplo del aire, íbanse a la orilla.
They cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, and unloosing at the same time the ropes that tied the rudders, they hoisted the foresail to the breeze, and headed for the beach.
41 Pero dando en un lugar de dos aguas, hicieron encallar la nave; y la proa, hincada, estaba sin moverse, y la popa se abría con la fuerza del mar.
But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; the bow struck and remained fixed, but the stern began to break up under the violence of the waves.
42 Entonces el acuerdo de los soldados era que matasen los presos, para que ninguno se fugase nadando.
Now the soldiers were planning to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim off and so escape.
43 Mas el centurión, queriendo salvar a Pablo, estorbó este acuerdo, y mandó que los que pudiesen nadar, se echasen los primeros, y saliesen a tierra;
But the centurion kept them from their purpose, because he wished to save Paul. He gave orders that those who could swim should first jump overboard and get to land;
44 y los demás, parte en tablas, parte en cosas de la nave. Y así aconteció que todos se salvaron saliendo a tierra.
and that the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other bits of wreckage. And so it came to pass that all escaped safe to the land.
