9 Y pasado mucho tiempo, y siendo ya peligrosa la navegacion, porque ya era pasado el ayuno. Pablo amonestaba,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 Diciéndoles: Varones, veo que con trabajo y mucho daño, no solo de la cargazon y de la nave, mas aun de nuestras personas, habrá de ser la navegacion.
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.”
11 Mas el centurion creia más al piloto y al patron de la nave, que á lo que Pablo decia.
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.
12 Y no habiendo puerto cómodo para invernar, muchos acordaron pasar aun de allí, por si pudiesen arribar á Fenice á invernar [allí, que es] un puerto de Creta que mira al Abrego y al Poniente.
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.
13 Y soplando el austro, pareciéndoles que ya tenian lo que deseaban, alzando [velas] iban cerca la costa de Creta.

17 El cual tomado, usaban de remedios ciñendo la nave; y teniendo temor que no diesen en la Sirte, abajadas las velas eran así llevados.
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.
18 Mas siendo atormentados de una vehemente tempestad, el siguiente dia alijaron.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

21 Entónces Pablo, habiendo ya mucho que no comíamos, puesto en pié en medio de ellos, dijo: Fuera de cierto conveniente, oh varones, haberme oido, y no partir de Creta, y evitar este inconveniente y daño.
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.
22 Mas ahora os amonesto que tengais buen ánimo; porque ninguna pérdida habrá de persona de vosotros, sino solamente de la nave.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Porque esta noche ha estado conmigo el ángel del Dios, del cual yo soy, y al cual sirvo,
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 Diciendo: Pablo, no temas: es menester que seas presentado delante de César; y hé aquí, Dios te ha dado á todos los que navegan contigo.
saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Por tanto, oh varones, tened buen ánimo; porque yo confio en Dios que será así como me ha sido dicho,
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Si bien es menester que demos en una isla.

27 Y venida la décima cuarta noche, y siendo llevados por el [mar] Adriático, los marineros á la media noche sospecharon que estaban cerca de alguna tierra;
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 Y echando la sonda, hallaron veinte brazos; y pasando un poco mas adelante, volviendo á echar la sonda, hallaron quince brazos.
They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Y habiendo temor de dar en lugares escabrosos, echando cuatro anclas de la popa, deseaban que se hiciese de dia.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Entónces procurando los marineros huir de la nave, echado que hubieron el esquife á la mar, aparentando como que querian largar las anclas de proa,
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,
31 Pablo dijo al centurion y á los soldados: Si estos no quedan en la nave, vosotros no podeis salvaros.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Entónces los soldados cortaron los cabos del esquife, y dejáronle perder.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Y hasta que comenzó á ser de dia, Pablo exhortaba á todos que comiesen, diciendo: Este es el décimo cuarto dia que esperais y permaneceis ayunos, no comiendo nada.
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 Por tanto os ruego que comais por vuestra salud: que ni aun un cabello de la cabeza de ninguno de vosotros perecerá.
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 Y habiendo dicho esto, tomando el pan, hizo gracias á Dios en presencia de todos: y partiendo, comenzó á comer.
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 Entónces todos teniendo ya mejor ánimo, comieron ellos tambien.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Y como se hizo de dia, no conocian la tierra: mas veian un golfo, que tenia orilla, al cual acordaron echar, si pudiesen, la nave.
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 Cortando pues las anclas, las dejaron en la mar, largando tambien las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al viento, íbanse á la orilla.
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 Mas dando en un lugar de dos aguas, hicieron encallar la nave; y la proa hincada, estaba sin moverse, y la popa se abria con la fuerza de la mar.
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.
42 Entónces el acuerdo de los soldados era que matasen los presos, porque ninguno se fugase nadando.
The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Mas el centurion, queriendo salvar á Pablo, estorbó este acuerdo, y mandó que los que pudiesen nadar, se echasen los primeros, y saliesen á tierra:
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;
44 Y los demás, parte en tablas, parte en cosas de la nave. Y así aconteció que todos se salvaron [saliendo] á tierra.
and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
