Hechos 27
1 Mas como fue determinado que habíamos de navegar para Italia, entregaron a Pablo y algunos otros presos a un centurión, llamado Julio, de la compañía Augusta.
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 Así que, embarcándonos en la nave Adrumentina, alzamos velas, estando con nosotros Aristarco, Macedonio de Tesalónica, comenzando a navegar junto a los lugares de Asia.
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.

8 Y costeándola difícilmente, llegamos a un lugar que llaman Buenos Puertos, cerca del cual estaba la ciudad de Lasea.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Y pasado mucho tiempo, y siendo ya peligrosa la navegación, 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 diciendo: Varones, veo que con trabajo y mucho daño, no sólo de la cargazón y de la nave, mas aun de nuestras personas, habrá de ser la navegación.
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 Pero el centurión creía más al piloto y al patrón de la nave, que a lo que Pablo decía.
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 a Fenice e invernar allí, que es un puerto de Creta, al Africa 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 tenían lo que deseaban, alzando velas, tenían cerca la costa de Creta.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Pero no mucho después dio en ella un viento repentino, que se llama Euroaquilo.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.

17 el cual tomado, usaban de remedios, ciñendo la nave; y teniendo temor de que 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, al siguiente día alijaron;
As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 y al tercer día nosotros, con nuestras manos, arrojamos las obras muertas de la nave.
On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Y no apareciendo sol ni estrellas por muchos días, y viniendo una tempestad no pequeña, ya era perdida toda la esperanza de nuestra salud.
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.
21 Entonces Pablo, como hacía ya mucho que no comíamos, puesto en pie en medio de ellos, dijo: Fuera de cierto conveniente, oh varones, haberme oído, 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 tengáis buen ánimo; porque ninguna pérdida de persona habrá de vosotros, sino solamente de la nave.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life amongst 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 necesario que seas presentado delante de César; y he aquí, Dios te ha dado a 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 confío en Dios que será así como me ha dicho;
Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 con todo, es necesario que demos en una isla.
But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Y venida la décimacuarta noche, y siendo llevados en el mar Adriático, los marineros a 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 pasos, y pasando un poco más adelante, volviendo a echar la sonda, hallaron quince pasos.
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 día.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Entonces procurando los marineros huir de la nave, y echando el esquife al mar, aparentando como que querían 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 centurión y a los soldados: Si éstos no se quedan en la nave, vosotros no podéis salvaros.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Entonces los soldados cortaron los cabos del esquife, y lo dejaron caer.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Cuando comenzó a ser de día, Pablo exhortaba a todos que comiesen, diciendo: Este es el décimocuarto día que esperáis y permanecéis en ayunas, 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 comáis 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, dio gracias a Dios en presencia de todos, y partiendo, comenzó a 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 Entonces todos teniendo ya mejor ánimo, comieron ellos también.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Y éramos todas las personas en la nave doscientas setenta y seis.
In all, we were two hundred and seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Y satisfechos de comida, aliviaban la nave, echando el grano al mar.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Cuando se hizo de día, no conocían la tierra; pero veían un golfo que tenía orilla, al cual acordaron echar, si pudiesen, la nave.
When it was day, they didn’t recognise the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
40 Alzando las anclas, se dejaron al mar, largando también las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al soplo del aire, íbanse a 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 Pero dando en un lugar de dos aguas, hicieron encallar la nave; y la proa, hincada, estaba sin moverse, y la popa se abría con la fuerza del 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 Entonces el acuerdo de los soldados era que matasen los presos, para que 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 centurión, queriendo salvar a Pablo, estorbó este acuerdo, y mandó que los que pudiesen nadar, se echasen los primeros, y saliesen a 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 towards the land;
44 y los demás, parte en tablas, parte en cosas de la nave. Y así aconteció que todos se salvaron saliendo a 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.
