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.
jalapathēnāsmākam itōliyādēśaṁ prati yātrāyāṁ niścitāyāṁ satyāṁ tē yūliyanāmnō mahārājasya saṁghātāntargatasya sēnāpatēḥ samīpē paulaṁ tadanyān katinayajanāṁśca samārpayan|
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.
vayam ādrāmuttīyaṁ pōtamēkam āruhya āśiyādēśasya taṭasamīpēna yātuṁ matiṁ kr̥tvā laṅgaram utthāpya pōtam amōcayāma; mākidaniyādēśasthathiṣalanīkīnivāsyāristārkhanāmā kaścid janō'smābhiḥ sārddham āsīt|
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
parasmin divasē 'smābhiḥ sīdōnnagarē pōtē lāgitē tatra yūliyaḥ sēnāpatiḥ paulaṁ prati saujanyaṁ pradarthya sāntvanārthaṁ bandhubāndhavān upayātum anujajñau|
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
tasmāt pōtē mōcitē sati sammukhavāyōḥ sambhavād vayaṁ kuprōpadvīpasya tīrasamīpēna gatavantaḥ|
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
kilikiyāyāḥ pāmphūliyāyāśca samudrasya pāraṁ gatvā lūkiyādēśāntargataṁ murānagaram upātiṣṭhāma|
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
tatsthānād itāliyādēśaṁ gacchati yaḥ sikandariyānagarasya pōtastaṁ tatra prāpya śatasēnāpatistaṁ pōtam asmān ārōhayat|
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.
tataḥ paraṁ bahūni dināni śanaiḥ śanaiḥ rgatvā knīdapārśvōpasthtiḥ pūrvvaṁ pratikūlēna pavanēna vayaṁ salmōnyāḥ sammukham upasthāya krītyupadvīpasya tīrasamīpēna gatavantaḥ|
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
kaṣṭēna tamuttīryya lāsēyānagarasyādhaḥ sundaranāmakaṁ khātam upātiṣṭhāma|
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
itthaṁ bahutithaḥ kālō yāpita upavāsadinañcātītaṁ, tatkāraṇāt nauvartmani bhayaṅkarē sati paulō vinayēna kathitavān,
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.”
hē mahēcchā ahaṁ niścayaṁ jānāmi yātrāyāmasyām asmākaṁ klēśā bahūnāmapacayāśca bhaviṣyanti, tē kēvalaṁ pōtasāmagryōriti nahi, kintvasmākaṁ prāṇānāmapi|
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.
tadā śatasēnāpatiḥ paulōktavākyatōpi karṇadhārasya pōtavaṇijaśca vākyaṁ bahumaṁsta|
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.
tat khātaṁ śītakālē vāsārhasthānaṁ na tasmād avācīpratīcōrdiśōḥ krītyāḥ phainīkiyakhātaṁ yātuṁ yadi śaknuvantastarhi tatra śītakālaṁ yāpayituṁ prāyēṇa sarvvē mantrayāmāsuḥ|
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
tataḥ paraṁ dakṣiṇavāyu rmandaṁ vahatīti vilōkya nijābhiprāyasya siddhēḥ suyōgō bhavatīti buddhvā pōtaṁ mōcayitvā krītyupadvīpasya tīrasamīpēna calitavantaḥ|
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
kintvalpakṣaṇāt paramēva urakludōnnāmā pratikūlaḥ pracaṇḍō vāyu rvahan pōtē'lagīt
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
tasyābhimukhaṁ gantum pōtasyāśaktatvād vayaṁ vāyunā svayaṁ nītāḥ|
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
anantaraṁ klaudīnāmna upadvīpasya kūlasamīpēna pōtaṁ gamayitvā bahunā kaṣṭēna kṣudranāvam arakṣāma|
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.
tē tāmāruhya rajjcā pōtasyādhōbhāgam abadhnan tadanantaraṁ cēt pōtō saikatē lagatīti bhayād vātavasanānyamōcayan tataḥ pōtō vāyunā cālitaḥ|
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
kintu kramaśō vāyōḥ prabalatvāt pōtō dōlāyamānō'bhavat parasmin divasē pōtasthāni katipayāni dravyāṇi tōyē nikṣiptāni|
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
tr̥tīyadivasē vayaṁ svahastaiḥ pōtasajjanadravyāṇi nikṣiptavantaḥ|
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.
tatō bahudināni yāvat sūryyanakṣatrādīni samācchannāni tatō 'tīva vātyāgamād asmākaṁ prāṇarakṣāyāḥ kāpi pratyāśā nātiṣṭhat|
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.
bahudinēṣu lōkairanāhārēṇa yāpitēṣu sarvvēṣāṁ sākṣat paulastiṣṭhan akathayat, hē mahēcchāḥ krītyupadvīpāt pōtaṁ na mōcayitum ahaṁ pūrvvaṁ yad avadaṁ tadgrahaṇaṁ yuṣmākam ucitam āsīt tathā kr̥tē yuṣmākam ēṣā vipad ēṣō'pacayaśca nāghaṭiṣyētām|
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
kintu sāmprataṁ yuṣmān vinīya bravīmyahaṁ, yūyaṁ na kṣubhyata yuṣmākam ēkasyāpi prāṇinō hāni rna bhaviṣyati, kēvalasya pōtasya hāni rbhaviṣyati|
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
yatō yasyēśvarasya lōkō'haṁ yañcāhaṁ paricarāmi tadīya ēkō dūtō hyō rātrau mamāntikē tiṣṭhan kathitavān,
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
hē paula mā bhaiṣīḥ kaisarasya sammukhē tvayōpasthātavyaṁ; tavaitān saṅginō lōkān īśvarastubhyaṁ dattavān|
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
ataēva hē mahēcchā yūyaṁ sthiramanasō bhavata mahyaṁ yā kathākathi sāvaśyaṁ ghaṭiṣyatē mamaitādr̥śī viśvāsa īśvarē vidyatē,
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
kintu kasyacid upadvīpasyōpari patitavyam asmābhiḥ|
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.
tataḥ param ādriyāsamudrē pōtastathaiva dōlāyamānaḥ san itastatō gacchan caturdaśadivasasya rātrē rdvitīyapraharasamayē kasyacit sthalasya samīpamupatiṣṭhatīti pōtīyalōkā anvamanyanta|
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
tatastē jalaṁ parimāya tatra viṁśati rvyāmā jalānīti jñātavantaḥ| kiñciddūraṁ gatvā punarapi jalaṁ parimitavantaḥ| tatra pañcadaśa vyāmā jalāni dr̥ṣṭvā
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
cēt pāṣāṇē lagatīti bhayāt pōtasya paścādbhāgataścaturō laṅgarān nikṣipya divākaram apēkṣya sarvvē sthitavantaḥ|
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,
kintu pōtīyalōkāḥ pōtāgrabhāgē laṅgaranikṣēpaṁ chalaṁ kr̥tvā jaladhau kṣudranāvam avarōhya palāyitum acēṣṭanta|
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
tataḥ paulaḥ sēnāpatayē sainyagaṇāya ca kathitavān, ētē yadi pōtamadhyē na tiṣṭhanti tarhi yuṣmākaṁ rakṣaṇaṁ na śakyaṁ|
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
tadā sēnāgaṇō rajjūn chitvā nāvaṁ jalē patitum adadāt|
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.
prabhātasamayē paulaḥ sarvvān janān bhōjanārthaṁ prārthya vyāharat, adya caturdaśadināni yāvad yūyam apēkṣamānā anāhārāḥ kālam ayāpayata kimapi nābhuṁgdhaṁ|
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.”
atō vinayē'haṁ bhakṣyaṁ bhujyatāṁ tatō yuṣmākaṁ maṅgalaṁ bhaviṣyati, yuṣmākaṁ kasyacijjanasya śirasaḥ kēśaikōpi na naṁkṣyati|
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.
iti vyāhr̥tya paulaṁ pūpaṁ gr̥hītvēśvaraṁ dhanyaṁ bhāṣamāṇastaṁ bhaṁktvā bhōktum ārabdhavān|
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
anantaraṁ sarvvē ca susthirāḥ santaḥ khādyāni parpyagr̥hlan|
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
asmākaṁ pōtē ṣaṭsaptatyadhikaśatadvayalōkā āsan|
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
sarvvēṣu lōkēṣu yathēṣṭaṁ bhuktavatsu pōtasthan gōdhūmān jaladhau nikṣipya taiḥ pōtasya bhārō laghūkr̥taḥ|
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.
dinē jātē'pi sa kō dēśa iti tadā na paryyacīyata; kintu tatra samataṭam ēkaṁ khātaṁ dr̥ṣṭvā yadi śaknumastarhi vayaṁ tasyābhyantaraṁ pōtaṁ gamayāma iti matiṁ kr̥tvā tē laṅgarān chittvā jaladhau tyaktavantaḥ|
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.
tathā karṇabandhanaṁ mōcayitvā pradhānaṁ vātavasanam uttōlya tīrasamīpaṁ gatavantaḥ|
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.
kintu dvayōḥ samudrayōḥ saṅgamasthānē saikatōpari pōtē nikṣiptē 'grabhāgē bādhitē paścādbhāgē prabalataraṅgō'lagat tēna pōtō bhagnaḥ|
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
tasmād bandayaścēd bāhubhistarantaḥ palāyantē ityāśaṅkayā sēnāgaṇastān hantum amantrayat;
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;
kintu śatasēnāpatiḥ paulaṁ rakṣituṁ prayatnaṁ kr̥tvā tān taccēṣṭāyā nivartya ityādiṣṭavān, yē bāhutaraṇaṁ jānanti tē'grē prōllampya samudrē patitvā bāhubhistīrttvā kūlaṁ yāntu|
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.
aparam avaśiṣṭā janāḥ kāṣṭhaṁ pōtīyaṁ dravyaṁ vā yēna yat prāpyatē tadavalambya yāntu; itthaṁ sarvvē bhūmiṁ prāpya prāṇai rjīvitāḥ|
