< Acts 27 >

1 When it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

2 Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.

3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.

4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.

7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.

8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
ⲑ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ. ⲁⲛⲣ̅ϩⲃⲁ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲉⲧⲃⲉϫⲉⲁⲧⲕⲉⲛⲏⲥⲧⲓⲁ ⲟⲩⲉⲓⲛⲉ. ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ
10 and said to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”
ⲓ̅ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ϯⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲥϭⲏⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲟⲥⲉ. ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲉⲓⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉⲛⲕⲉⲯⲩⲭⲏ.
11 But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲉⲧⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ⲙⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲁⲩⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲥ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ.
12 Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking southwest and northwest.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲟⲧⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲡⲉⲩϩⲟⲩⲟ ϫⲓϣⲟϫⲛⲉ ⲉⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲉⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲧⲁϩⲉⲟⲩⲗⲓⲙⲏⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡϩⲏⲛⲓⲝ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲕⲣⲓⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲙⲟⲟⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ̅ ⲉⲡⲉⲙⲛⲧ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲉⲭⲱⲣⲁ.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲧⲟⲩⲣⲏⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲩⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉⲩⲧⲱϣ ϣⲱⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲁⲗⲁⲥⲟⲥ. ⲁϥⲕⲁⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲟⲩⲕⲟⲩⲓ̈ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩⲧⲏⲩ ⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲱⲙ ϩⲓⲟⲩⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲛ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲣⲁⲕⲩⲗⲱⲛ.
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲧⲱⲣⲡ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲡⲧⲏⲩ. ⲁⲛⲕⲁⲁⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛⲣ̅ϩⲱⲧ
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲛⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲥⲟⲥ ⲉϣⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲗⲁⲩⲇⲓⲁ. ⲙⲟⲅⲓⲥ ⲁⲛϭⲙ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲁⲙⲁϩⲧⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲥⲕⲁⲫⲏ.
17 After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲁⲗⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲉⲩⲉⲓⲣⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛⲃⲟⲏⲑⲓⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈. ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲛ. ⲁⲩⲛⲉϩⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲉϥⲣⲁⲥⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫⲡⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲧⲏⲣϥ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϫⲟⲓ̈ ⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ
20 When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
ⲕ̅ⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲣⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲁⲡⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲛ̅ⲭⲓⲙⲱⲛ ϩⲓϫⲱⲛ. ⲛⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ϭⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈.
21 When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete and have gotten this injury and loss.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲥⲕ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲙⲏⲧⲉ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ⲛⲉϣϣⲉ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲱⲓ̈. ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲕⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲣⲏⲧⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉϯϩⲏⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲟⲥⲉ.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

27 But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.

28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.

29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲩⲣ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲡⲱⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥⲛⲁϣⲧ̅. ⲁⲩⲛⲉϫϥⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩϣⲗⲏⲗ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϩⲧⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲉ.
30 As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,
ⲗ̅ⲉⲣⲉⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲉϥ ⲇⲉ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲡⲱⲧ ⲉⲕⲁⲡϫⲟⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲭⲁⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲕⲁⲧⲟ ⲉⲧⲉⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲩϭⲛ̅ⲗⲟⲓ̈ϭⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲛⲉϫϩⲁⲩϭⲁⲗ ϩⲓⲑⲏ.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”

32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.

33 While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

34 Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”

35 When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.

36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

39 When it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.

40 Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

41 But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲱⲙⲛ̅ⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲁ ⲉϥⲟ ⲛ̅ϩⲱⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ. ⲁⲩⲙⲁⲛⲉⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲉⲣⲟϥ. ⲁⲡⲉϥⲑⲏ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲉⲛϥ̅ⲕⲓⲙ ⲁⲛ. ⲡⲉϥⲡⲁϩⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲗ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛϣⲟⲧ ⲙ̅ⲡⲧⲏⲩ.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ⲡϩⲉⲕⲁⲧⲟⲛⲧⲁⲣⲭⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ. ⲁϥⲕⲱⲗⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲩϣⲟϫⲛⲉ. ⲁϥⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛ̅ϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲛⲏⲃⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲥⲉϥⲟϭⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲕⲣⲟ.
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
