Acts 27

ut autem iudicatum est eum navigare in Italiam et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Iulio cohortis Augustae

And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

ascendentes autem navem hadrumetinam incipientem navigare circa Asiae loca sustulimus perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicense

And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem humane autem tractans Iulius Paulum permisit ad amicos ire et curam sui agere

And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

et inde cum sustulissemus subnavigavimus Cypro propterea quod essent venti contrarii

And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

et pelagus Ciliciae et Pamphiliae navigantes venimus Lystram quae est Lyciae

And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

et ibi inveniens centurio navem alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam transposuit nos in eam

And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus et vix devenissemus contra Cnidum prohibente nos vento adnavigavimus Cretae secundum Salmonem

And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

et vix iuxta navigantes venimus in locum quendam qui vocatur Boni portus cui iuxta erat civitas Thalassa

And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

multo autem tempore peracto et cum iam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et ieiunium iam praeterisset consolabatur Paulus

Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

dicens eis viri video quoniam cum iniuria et multo damno non solum oneris et navis sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio

And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

centurio autem gubernatori et nauclerio magis credebat quam his quae a Paulo dicebantur

Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde si quo modo possent devenientes Phoenice hiemare portum Cretae respicientem ad africum et ad chorum

And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

adspirante autem austro aestimantes propositum se tenere cum sustulissent de Asson legebant Cretam

And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus qui vocatur euroaquilo

But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

cumque arrepta esset navis et non posset conari in ventum data nave flatibus ferebamur

And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

insulam autem quandam decurrentes quae vocatur Caudam potuimus vix obtinere scapham

And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

qua sublata adiutoriis utebantur accingentes navem timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent submisso vase sic ferebantur

Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

valide autem nobis tempestate iactatis sequenti die iactum fecerunt

And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis proiecerunt

And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

neque sole autem neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies et tempestate non exigua inminente iam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostrae

And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

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

But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse amissio enim nullius animae erit ex vobis praeterquam navis

And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.

adstitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei cuius sum ego et cui deservio

For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

dicens ne timeas Paule Caesari te oportet adsistere et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum

Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

propter quod bono animo estote viri credo enim Deo quia sic erit quemadmodum dictum est mihi

Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

in insulam autem quandam oportet nos devenire

Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit navigantibus nobis in Hadria circa mediam noctem suspicabantur nautae apparere sibi aliquam regionem

But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

qui submittentes invenerunt passus viginti et pusillum inde separati invenerunt passus quindecim

And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus de puppi mittentes anchoras quattuor optabant diem fieri

Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

nautis vero quaerentibus fugere de navi cum misissent scapham in mare sub obtentu quasi a prora inciperent anchoras extendere

And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus nisi hii in navi manserint vos salvi fieri non potestis

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae et passi sunt eam excidere

Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

et cum lux inciperet fieri rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum dicens quartadecima hodie die expectantes ieiuni permanetis nihil accipientes

And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit

Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

et cum haec dixisset sumens panem gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium et cum fregisset coepit manducare

And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.

animaequiores autem facti omnes et ipsi adsumpserunt cibum

Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

eramus vero universae animae in navi ducentae septuaginta sex

And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

et satiati cibo adleviabant navem iactantes triticum in mare

And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

cum autem dies factus esset terram non agnoscebant sinum vero quendam considerabant habentem litus in quem cogitabant si possent eicere navem

And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

et cum anchoras abstulissent committebant se mari simul laxantes iuncturas gubernaculorum et levato artemone secundum flatum aurae tendebant ad litus

And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

et cum incidissemus in locum bithalassum inpegerunt navem et prora quidem fixa manebat inmobilis puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris

And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent ne quis cum enatasset effugeret

And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

centurio autem volens servare Paulum prohibuit fieri iussitque eos qui possent natare mittere se primos et evadere et ad terram exire

But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

et ceteros alios in tabulis ferebant quosdam super ea quae de navi essent et sic factum est ut omnes animae evaderent ad terram

And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
