Mga Gawa 27
1 At nang ipasiya na kami ay lalayag na patungo sa Italia, ay ibinigay nila si Pablo at ang iba pang mga bilanggo sa isang senturion na nagngangalang Julio, sa pulutong ni Augusto.
As it was decided that we were to sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were put in charge of a centurion of the Augustan Guard, named Julius.
2 At sa paglulan namin sa isang daong Adrameto, na palayag sa mga dakong nasa baybayin ng Asia, ay nagsitulak kami, na kasama namin si Aristarco na isang taga Macedonia mula sa Tesalonica.
We went on board a ship from Adramyttium, which was on the point of sailing to the ports along the coast of Roman Asia, and put to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.
3 At nang sumunod na araw ay nagsidaong kami sa Sidon: at pinagpakitaan ni Julio ng magandang-loob si Pablo, at pinahintulutan siyang pumaroon sa kaniyang mga kaibigan, at siya'y magpakaginhawa.
The next day we put in to Sidon, where Julius treated Paul in a friendly manner, and allowed him to go to see his friends and receive their hospitality.
4 At nang kami'y magsitulak buhat doon, ay nagsilayag kami na nagsipanganlong sa Chipre, sapagka't pasalunga ang hangin.
Putting to sea again, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the wind was against us;
5 At nang matawid na namin ang dagat na nasa tapat ng Cilicia at Pamfilia, ay nagsirating kami sa Mira, na isang bayan ng Licia.
and, after crossing the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we reached Myra in Lycia.
6 At nasumpungan doon ng senturion ang isang daong Alejandria na lumalayag na patungo sa Italia; at inilulan niya kami roon.
There the Roman officer found an Alexandrian ship on her way to Italy, and put us on board of her.
7 At nang makapaglayag na kaming marahan nang maraming mga araw, at may kahirapan kaming nakarating sa tapat ng Gnido, na hindi kami tinulutan ng hanging makasulong pa, ay nagsilayag kami na nagsipanganlong sa Creta, sa tapat ng Salmon;
For several days our progress was slow, and it was only with difficulty that we arrived off Cnidus. As the wind was still unfavourable when we came off Cape Salmone, we sailed under the lee of Crete,
8 At sa pamamaybay namin dito na may kahirapan ay nagsidating kami sa isang dako na tinatawag na Mabubuting Daongan; na malapit doon ang bayan ng Lasea.
and with difficulty, by keeping close in shore, we reached a place called “Fair Havens,” near which was the town of Lasea.
9 At nang magugol na ang mahabang panahon, at mapanganib na ang paglalayag, sapagka't nakalampas na ang Pagaayuno, ay pinamanhikan sila ni Pablo,
This had taken a considerable time, and sailing was already dangerous, for the Fast was already over; and so Paul gave this warning.
10 At sa kanila'y sinabi, Mga ginoo, nakikita ko na ang paglalayag na ito ay makapipinsala at magiging malaking kapahamakan, hindi lamang sa lulan at sa daong, kundi naman sa ating mga buhay.
‘My friends,’ he said, ‘I see that this voyage will be attended with injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but to our own lives also.’
11 Datapuwa't may higit pang paniwala ang senturion sa piloto at sa may-ari ng daong, kay sa mga bagay na sinalita ni Pablo.
The Roman officer, however, was more influenced by the captain and the owner than by what was said by Paul.
12 At sapagka't hindi bagay hintuan sa tagginaw ang daongan, ay ipinayo ng karamihan na tumulak mula roon, at baka sakaling sa anomang paraan ay makarating sila sa Fenix, at doon huminto sa tagginaw; na yao'y daungan ng Creta, na nasa dakong hilagang-silanganan at timugang-silanganan.
And, as the harbour was not a suitable one to winter in, the majority were in favour of continuing the voyage, in hope of being able to reach Phoenix, and winter there. Phoenix was a Cretan harbour, open to the north-east and south-east.
13 At nang marahang humihihip ang hanging timugan na inaakalang maisasagawa nila ang kanilang nasa, itinaas nila ang sinepete at namaybay sa baybayin ng Creta.
So, when a light wind sprang up from the south, thinking that they had found their opportunity, they weighed anchor and kept along the coast of Crete, close in shore.
14 Datapuwa't hindi nalaon at humampas na galing doon ang maunos na hangin, na tinatawag na Euraclidon:
But shortly afterwards a hurricane came down on us off the land – a north-easter, as it is called.
15 At nang ipadpad ang daong, at hindi makasalungat sa hangin, ay nangagpabaya na kami, at kami'y ipinadpad.
The ship was caught by it and was unable to keep her head to the wind, so we had to give way and let her drive before it.
16 At sa pagtakbo ng daong na nanganganlong sa isang maliit na pulo na tinatawag na Clauda, ay may kahirapan naming maitaas ang bangka:
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we only just managed to secure the ship’s boat,
17 At nang maitaas na ito, ay nagsigamit sila ng mga lubid, na tinalian ang ibaba ng daong; at, sa takot na baka mapapadpad sa Sirte, ay ibinaba nila ang mga layag, at sa gayo'y napaanod sila.
and, after hoisting it on board, the men frapped the ship. But, afraid of being driven on to the Syrtis Sands, they lowered the yard, and then drifted.
18 At sapagka't lubhang nakikipaglaban kami sa bagyo, nang sumunod na araw ay nangagsimula silang magtapon ng lulan sa dagat;
So violently were we tossed about by the storm, that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard,
19 At nang ikatlong araw ay kanilang ipinagtatapon ng kanilang sariling mga kamay ang mga kasangkapan ng daong.
and, on the following day, threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 At nang hindi sumisikat sa amin ang araw ni ang mga bituin man nang maraming mga araw, at sumasa ibabaw namin ang isang hindi munting bagyo, ay nawala ang buong pagasa na kami'y makaliligtas.
As neither sun nor stars were visible for several days, and, as the gale still continued severe, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
21 At nang maluwat nang hindi sila nagsisikain, ay tumayo nga si Pablo sa gitna nila, at sinabi, Mga ginoo, nangakinig sana kayo sa akin, at hindi umalis sa Creta, at nailagan ang kapinsalaang ito at kapahamakan.
It was then, when they had gone a long time without food, that Paul came forward, and said, ‘My friends, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and so incurred this injury and damage.
22 At ngayon ay ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo na inyong laksan ang inyong loob; sapagka't walang buhay na mapapahamak sa inyo, kundi ang daong lamang.
Yet, even as things are, I beg you not to lose courage, for there will not be a single life lost among you – only the ship.
23 Sapagka't nang gabing ito ay tumayo sa tabi ko ang anghel ng Dios na may-ari sa akin, at siya ko namang pinaglilingkuran,
For last night an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom I serve, stood by me, and said –
24 Na nagsabi, Huwag kang matakot, Pablo; kailangang ikaw ay humarap kay Cesar: at narito, ipinagkaloob sa iyo ng Dios ang lahat ng kasama mo sa paglalayag.
“Have no fear, Paul; you must appear before the Emperor, and God himself has given you the lives of all your fellow voyagers.”
25 Kaya nga, mga ginoo, laksan ninyo ang inyong loob: sapagka't ako'y sumasampalataya sa Dios, na mangyayari ayon sa sinalita sa akin.
Therefore, courage, my friends! For I believe God, that everything will happen exactly as I have been told.
26 Datapuwa't tayo'y kailangang mapapadpad sa isang pulo.
We will, however, have to be driven on some island.’
27 Datapuwa't nang dumating ang ikalabingapat na gabi, samantalang kami'y ipinapadpad ng hangin sa magkabikabila ng Dagat ng Adriatico, nang maghahating gabi na ay sinasapantaha ng mga mangdaragat na sila'y nangalalapit na sa isang lupain.
It was now the fourteenth night of the storm, and we were drifting about in the Adriatic Sea, when, about midnight, the sailors began to suspect that they were drawing near land.
28 At kanilang tinarok, at nasumpungang may dalawangpung dipa; at pagkasulongsulong ng kaunti, ay tinarok nilang muli at nasumpungang may labinglimang dipa.
So they took soundings, and found twenty fathoms of water. After waiting a little, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 At sa takot naming mapapadpad sa batuhan, ay nangaghulog sila ng apat na sinepete sa hulihan, at iniibig magumaga na.
Then, as they were afraid of our being driven on some rocky coast, they let go four anchors from the stern, and longed for daylight.
30 At sa pagpipilit ng mga mangdaragat na mangagtanan sa daong, at nang maibaba na ang bangka sa dagat, na ang dinadahilan ay mangaghuhulog sila ng mga sinepete sa unahan,
The sailors wanted to leave the ship, and had lowered the boat, on pretence of running out anchors from the bows,
31 Ay sinabi ni Pablo sa senturion at sa mga kawal, Maliban na magsipanatili ang mga ito sa daong, kayo'y hindi mangakaliligtas.
when Paul said to the Roman officer and his men, ‘Unless the sailors remain on board, you cannot be saved.’
32 Nang magkagayo'y pinutol ng mga kawal ang mga lubid ng bangka, at pinabayaang mahulog.
So the soldiers cut the ropes which held the boat, and let her drift away.
33 At samantalang naguumaga, ay ipinamanhik ni Pablo sa lahat na magsikain, na sinasabi, Ang araw na ito ang ikalabingapat na araw na kayo'y nangaghihintay at nangagpapatuloy sa hindi pagkain, na walang kinakaing anoman.
In the interval before daybreak Paul kept urging them all to take something to eat. ‘It is a fortnight today,’ he said, ‘that, owing to your anxiety, you have gone without food, taking nothing.
34 Kaya nga ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo na kayo'y magsikain: sapagka't ito'y sa ikaliligtas ninyo: sapagka't hindi mawawala kahit isang buhok sa ulo ng sinoman sa inyo.
So I beg you to take something to eat; your safety depends on it, for not one of you will lose even a hair of his head.’
35 At nang masabi na niya ito, at makadampot ng tinapay, ay nagpasalamat siya sa Dios sa harapan ng lahat; at kaniyang pinagputolputol, at pinasimulang kumain.
With these words he took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving to God before them all, broke it in pieces, and began to eat;
36 Nang magkagayo'y nagsilakas ang loob ng lahat, at sila nama'y pawang nagsikain din.
and the men all felt cheered and had something to eat themselves.
37 At kaming lahat na nangasa daong ay dalawang daan at pitongpu't anim na kaluluwa.
There were about seventy-six of us on board, all told.
38 At nang mangabusog na sila, ay pinagaan nila ang daong, na ipinagtatapon sa dagat ang trigo.
After satisfying their hunger, they further lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39 At nang magumaga na, ay hindi nila makilala ang lupain; datapuwa't nababanaagan nila ang isang look ng dagat na may baybayin, at sila'y nangagsangusapan kung kanilang maisasadsad ang daong doon.
When daylight came, they could not make out what land it was, but, observing a creek in which there was a beach, they consulted as to whether they could run the ship safely into it.
40 At inihulog ang mga sinepete, at kanilang pinabayaan sa dagat, samantalang kinakalag ang mga tali ng mga ugit; at nang maitaas na nila sa hangin ang layag sa unahan, ay nagsipatungo sila sa baybayin.
Then they cast off, and abandoned the anchors, and at the same time unlashed the gear of the steering oars, hoisted the foresail to the wind, and made for the beach.
41 Datapuwa't pagdating sa isang dako na pinagsasalubungan ng dalawang dagat, ay kanilang isinadsad ang daong; at ang unahan ng daong ay napabunggo at tumigil na hindi kumikilos, datapuwa't nagpasimulang magkawasakwasak ang hulihan sa kalakasan ng mga alon.
They got, however, into a kind of channel, and there ran the ship aground. The bows stuck fast and could not be moved, while the stern began breaking up under the strain.
42 At ang payo ng mga kawal ay pagpapatayin ang mga bilanggo, upang ang sinoma'y huwag makalangoy at makatanan.
The advice of the soldiers was that the prisoners should be killed, so that none of them could swim away and make their escape.
43 Datapuwa't ang senturion, sa pagkaibig na iligtas si Pablo, ay pinigil sila sa kanilang balak; at ipinagutos na ang mga makalangoy ay magsitalon, at mangaunang magsidating sa lupa;
But the Roman officer, anxious to save Paul, prevented their carrying out their intention, and ordered that those who could swim should be the first to jump into the sea and try to reach the shore;
44 At sa mga naiwan, ang iba'y sa mga kahoy, at ang iba nama'y sa mga bagay na galing sa daong. At sa ganito nangyari, na ang lahat ay nangakatakas na ligtas hanggang sa lupa.
and that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on different pieces of the ship. In these various ways everyone managed to get safely ashore.
