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.
Cuando se decidió que navegáramos hacia Italia, entregaron a Pablo y a otros presos a un centurión llamado Julio, de un batallón imperial.
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.
Embarcamos en una nave de Adramitia que iba a zarpar hacia los puertos de Asia. Salimos al mar. Aristarco, un macedonio de Tesalónica, nos acompañaba.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
Al día siguiente atracamos en Sidón. Julio, quien trataba a Pablo con benevolencia, permitió que fuera a sus amigos y recibiera atención.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
Zarpamos de allí y navegamos al abrigo de Chipre, a causa de que los vientos eran contrarios.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
Navegamos a través del mar de Cilicia y Panfilia y arribamos a Mira de Licia.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
El centurión halló allí una nave alejandrina que navegaba hacia Italia y nos embarcó en ella.
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.
Navegamos lentamente muchos días. Logramos arribar con dificultad frente a Gnido. El viento no nos permitía avanzar y navegamos al abrigo de Creta hacia Salmón.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
La costeamos con dificultad y arribamos a Buenos Puertos, cerca de la ciudad de Lasea.
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
Transcurrió mucho tiempo y era peligrosa la navegación. Cuando pasó el ayuno, Pablo aconsejaba:
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.”
Varones, percibo que la navegación será con perjuicio y mucha pérdida, no solo de la carga y de la nave, sino también de nuestras vidas.
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.
Pero el centurión ponía más atención al piloto y al propietario de la nave que a lo que Pablo decía.
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.
Como el puerto no era adecuado para pasar el invierno, la mayoría decidió zarpar de allí, para ver si podían arribar a Fenice, puerto de Creta que mira hacia el suroeste y el noroeste, y pasar allí el invierno.
13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
Cuando comenzó un suave viento del sur, consideraron que habían logrado el propósito, levantaron anclas y costeaban Creta.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
Pero poco después el viento huracanado llamado Euraquilón azotó la nave.
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
Fue violentamente arrebatada, y no se pudo colocar la proa al viento. Cedimos a la [tempestad] y éramos llevados a la deriva.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
Navegamos al abrigo de una islita llamada Cauda y difícilmente logramos controlar el bote salvavidas.
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.
Lo levantaron con cuerdas para atarlo a la nave. Temían que encallaran en la Sirte. Echaron el ancla flotante y se abandonaron a la deriva.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
El día siguiente, como fuimos sacudidos furiosamente por la tempestad, echaron parte de la carga.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
Al tercer [día], echaron los equipos de la nave con sus propias manos.
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.
Durante muchos días no apareció el sol ni estrellas. Una gran tempestad cayó sobre nosotros. Perdimos toda esperanza de salvarnos.
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.
Había mucha abstinencia. Pablo se puso en pie y dijo: ¡Varones! Era necesario obedecer mi consejo y no zarpar de Creta para evitar este daño y esta pérdida.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
Pero ahora les aconsejo que tengan buen ánimo, pues ninguno perderá la vida. Solo se perderá la nave.
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
Porque anoche me vino un ángel de Dios, a Quien sirvo y pertenezco,
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
quien me dijo: No temas, Pablo. Tienes que comparecer ante César, y mira, Dios te concedió [la vida] de todos los que navegan contigo.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
Por tanto, oh varones, tengan buen ánimo, porque creo a Dios que será así como me habló.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
Tendremos que encallar en alguna isla.
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.
Cuando llegó la décimacuarta noche, al ser llevados nosotros a la deriva en el Adriático, a la media noche, los marineros sospechaban que estaban cerca de una tierra.
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
Echaron una sonda y hallaron 36,6 metros. Después navegaron un poco más adelante y echaron otra vez la sonda. Hallaron 27,45 metros.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
Teníamos el temor de encallar en algún lugar rocoso. Lanzaron cuatro anclas desde [la] popa y ansiaban que amaneciera.
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,
Los marineros trataron de huir de la nave. Habían bajado el bote salvavidas al mar con el pretexto de soltar anclas desde [la] proa.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
Pablo advirtió al centurión y a los soldados: Si los marineros no permanecen en la nave, ustedes no se salvarán.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
Entonces los soldados cortaron las cuerdas del bote salvavidas y dejaron que se perdiera.
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.
Y mientras llegaba el día, Pablo exhortaba a todos a recibir alimento: Hoy cumplimos 14 días de estar expectantes continuamente sin comer algo.
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.”
Por tanto, les ruego que coman algo, pues es bueno para su preservación, porque ni un cabello de su cabeza se perderá.
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.
Cuando dijo esto, partió pan, dio gracias a Dios en presencia de todos, y comenzó a comer.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
Entonces todos se animaron y comieron.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
Había un total de 276 personas en la nave.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
Cuando comimos, echaron el trigo al mar para aligerar la nave.
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.
Cuando amaneció, no conocían la tierra. Veían una bahía que tenía playa. Decidieron, si les era posible, sacar allí la nave.
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.
Al cortar [las] anclas, las dejaron en el mar. Soltaron al mismo tiempo las cuerdas de los timones. Cuando izaron la vela de proa al viento, enfilaron hacia la playa.
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.
Pero al caer en un lugar de corrientes cruzadas, encallaron la nave. Mientras la proa se clavó y quedó inmóvil, la popa era azotada por la violencia [de las olas].
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
Un plan de los soldados era matar a los presos para que ninguno se escapara nadando.
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;
Pero el centurión, quien se propuso salvar a Pablo, impidió el plan. Mandó que los que podían nadar, se lanzaran primero por la borda y salieran a la tierra,
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.
y los demás, unos en tablones, y otros en algunos de los objetos de la nave. Así todos llegamos salvos a tierra.
