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.
ωσ δε εκριθη του αποπλειν ημασ εισ την ιταλιαν παρεδιδουν τον τε παυλον και τινασ ετερουσ δεσμωτασ εκατονταρχη ονοματι ιουλιω σπειρησ σεβαστησ
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.
επιβαντεσ δε πλοιω αδραμυττηνω μελλοντεσ πλειν τουσ κατα την ασιαν τοπουσ ανηχθημεν οντοσ συν ημιν αρισταρχου μακεδονοσ θεσσαλονικεωσ
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
τη τε ετερα κατηχθημεν εισ σιδωνα φιλανθρωπωσ τε ο ιουλιοσ τω παυλω χρησαμενοσ επετρεψεν προσ τουσ φιλουσ πορευθεντα επιμελειασ τυχειν
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
κακειθεν αναχθεντεσ υπεπλευσαμεν την κυπρον δια το τουσ ανεμουσ ειναι εναντιουσ
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
το τε πελαγοσ το κατα την κιλικιαν και παμφυλιαν διαπλευσαντεσ κατηλθομεν εισ μυρα τησ λυκιασ
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
κακει ευρων ο εκατονταρχοσ πλοιον αλεξανδρινον πλεον εισ την ιταλιαν ενεβιβασεν ημασ εισ αυτο
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.
εν ικαναισ δε ημεραισ βραδυπλοουντεσ και μολισ γενομενοι κατα την κνιδον μη προσεωντοσ ημασ του ανεμου υπεπλευσαμεν την κρητην κατα σαλμωνην
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
μολισ τε παραλεγομενοι αυτην ηλθομεν εισ τοπον τινα καλουμενον καλουσ λιμενασ ω εγγυσ ην πολισ λασαια
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
ικανου δε χρονου διαγενομενου και οντοσ ηδη επισφαλουσ του πλοοσ δια το και την νηστειαν ηδη παρεληλυθεναι παρηνει ο παυλοσ
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.”
λεγων αυτοισ ανδρεσ θεωρω οτι μετα υβρεωσ και πολλησ ζημιασ ου μονον του φορτιου και του πλοιου αλλα και των ψυχων ημων μελλειν εσεσθαι τον πλουν
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.
ο δε εκατονταρχησ τω κυβερνητη και τω ναυκληρω επειθετο μαλλον η τοισ υπο του παυλου λεγομενοισ
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.
ανευθετου δε του λιμενοσ υπαρχοντοσ προσ παραχειμασιαν οι πλειουσ εθεντο βουλην αναχθηναι κακειθεν ει πωσ δυναιντο καταντησαντεσ εισ φοινικα παραχειμασαι λιμενα τησ κρητησ βλεποντα κατα λιβα και κατα χωρον
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
υποπνευσαντοσ δε νοτου δοξαντεσ τησ προθεσεωσ κεκρατηκεναι αραντεσ ασσον παρελεγοντο την κρητην
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
μετ ου πολυ δε εβαλεν κατ αυτησ ανεμοσ τυφωνικοσ ο καλουμενοσ ευροκλυδων
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
συναρπασθεντοσ δε του πλοιου και μη δυναμενου αντοφθαλμειν τω ανεμω επιδοντεσ εφερομεθα
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
νησιον δε τι υποδραμοντεσ καλουμενον κλαυδην μολισ ισχυσαμεν περικρατεισ γενεσθαι τησ σκαφησ
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.
ην αραντεσ βοηθειαισ εχρωντο υποζωννυντεσ το πλοιον φοβουμενοι τε μη εισ την συρτην εκπεσωσιν χαλασαντεσ το σκευοσ ουτωσ εφεροντο
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
σφοδρωσ δε χειμαζομενων ημων τη εξησ εκβολην εποιουντο
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
και τη τριτη αυτοχειρεσ την σκευην του πλοιου ερριψαμεν
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.
μητε δε ηλιου μητε αστρων επιφαινοντων επι πλειονασ ημερασ χειμωνοσ τε ουκ ολιγου επικειμενου λοιπον περιηρειτο πασα ελπισ του σωζεσθαι ημασ
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.
πολλησ δε ασιτιασ υπαρχουσησ τοτε σταθεισ ο παυλοσ εν μεσω αυτων ειπεν εδει μεν ω ανδρεσ πειθαρχησαντασ μοι μη αναγεσθαι απο τησ κρητησ κερδησαι τε την υβριν ταυτην και την ζημιαν
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
και τα νυν παραινω υμασ ευθυμειν αποβολη γαρ ψυχησ ουδεμια εσται εξ υμων πλην του πλοιου
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
παρεστη γαρ μοι ταυτη τη νυκτι αγγελοσ του θεου ου ειμι ω και λατρευω
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
λεγων μη φοβου παυλε καισαρι σε δει παραστηναι και ιδου κεχαρισται σοι ο θεοσ παντασ τουσ πλεοντασ μετα σου
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
διο ευθυμειτε ανδρεσ πιστευω γαρ τω θεω οτι ουτωσ εσται καθ ον τροπον λελαληται μοι
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
εισ νησον δε τινα δει ημασ εκπεσειν
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.
ωσ δε τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατη νυξ εγενετο διαφερομενων ημων εν τω αδρια κατα μεσον τησ νυκτοσ υπενοουν οι ναυται προσαγειν τινα αυτοισ χωραν
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
και βολισαντεσ ευρον οργυιασ εικοσι βραχυ δε διαστησαντεσ και παλιν βολισαντεσ ευρον οργυιασ δεκαπεντε
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
φοβουμενοι τε μηπωσ εισ τραχεισ τοπουσ εκπεσωμεν εκ πρυμνησ ριψαντεσ αγκυρασ τεσσαρασ ηυχοντο ημεραν γενεσθαι
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,
των δε ναυτων ζητουντων φυγειν εκ του πλοιου και χαλασαντων την σκαφην εισ την θαλασσαν προφασει ωσ εκ πρωρασ μελλοντων αγκυρασ εκτεινειν
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
ειπεν ο παυλοσ τω εκατονταρχη και τοισ στρατιωταισ εαν μη ουτοι μεινωσιν εν τω πλοιω υμεισ σωθηναι ου δυνασθε
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
τοτε οι στρατιωται απεκοψαν τα σχοινια τησ σκαφησ και ειασαν αυτην εκπεσειν
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.
αχρι δε ου ημελλεν ημερα γινεσθαι παρεκαλει ο παυλοσ απαντασ μεταλαβειν τροφησ λεγων τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατην σημερον ημεραν προσδοκωντεσ ασιτοι διατελειτε μηδεν προσλαβομενοι
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.”
διο παρακαλω υμασ προσλαβειν τροφησ τουτο γαρ προσ τησ υμετερασ σωτηριασ υπαρχει ουδενοσ γαρ υμων θριξ εκ τησ κεφαλησ πεσειται
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.
ειπων δε ταυτα και λαβων αρτον ευχαριστησεν τω θεω ενωπιον παντων και κλασασ ηρξατο εσθιειν
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
ευθυμοι δε γενομενοι παντεσ και αυτοι προσελαβοντο τροφησ
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
ημεν δε εν τω πλοιω αι πασαι ψυχαι διακοσιαι εβδομηκοντα εξ
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
κορεσθεντεσ δε τησ τροφησ εκουφιζον το πλοιον εκβαλλομενοι τον σιτον εισ την θαλασσαν
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.
οτε δε ημερα εγενετο την γην ουκ επεγινωσκον κολπον δε τινα κατενοουν εχοντα αιγιαλον εισ ον εβουλευσαντο ει δυνατον εξωσαι το πλοιον
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.
και τασ αγκυρασ περιελοντεσ ειων εισ την θαλασσαν αμα ανεντεσ τασ ζευκτηριασ των πηδαλιων και επαραντεσ τον αρτεμονα τη πνεουση κατειχον εισ τον αιγιαλον
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.
περιπεσοντεσ δε εισ τοπον διθαλασσον επωκειλαν την ναυν και η μεν πρωρα ερεισασα εμεινεν ασαλευτοσ η δε πρυμνα ελυετο υπο τησ βιασ των κυματων
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
των δε στρατιωτων βουλη εγενετο ινα τουσ δεσμωτασ αποκτεινωσιν μη τισ εκκολυμβησασ διαφυγη
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;
ο δε εκατονταρχοσ βουλομενοσ διασωσαι τον παυλον εκωλυσεν αυτουσ του βουληματοσ εκελευσεν τε τουσ δυναμενουσ κολυμβαν απορριψαντασ πρωτουσ επι την γην εξιεναι
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.
και τουσ λοιπουσ ουσ μεν επι σανισιν ουσ δε επι τινων των απο του πλοιου και ουτωσ εγενετο παντασ διασωθηναι επι την γην
