Eginak 27
1 Ordenatu içan cenean gu Italiarát embarcaturen guenela, eman cietzoten bay Paul bay berce presonér batzu Iulio deitzen cen Centener Augustoren bandaco bati.
When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment.
2 Eta iganic Adramytteco vnci batetara, Asiaco comarquetara ioaitera parti guentecen, eta gurequin cen Aristarche Macedo Thessaloniceanoa.
We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
3 Eta ondoco egunean arriua guentecen Sidonera, eta Iulioc humanoqui Paul tractaturic, permetti ceçan adisquidetarat ioanic, heçaz tracta ledin.
The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care.
4 Guero handic partituric Cypre beherera io gueneçan, ceren haice contreac baitziraden.
After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5 Eta Ciliciaren eta Pamphyliaren aurkan den itsassora iraganic, ethor guentecen Myra Lyciaco hirira.
And when we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.
6 Eta han Centenerac eridenic Alexandriaco vnci Italiarát ioaiten cen-bat, hartara sar eraci guençan
There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7 Eta anhitz egunez baratch ioaiten guenela, eta nequez Gnidaco aurkara helduric, haiceac permettitzen etzeraucularic, iragan guentecen Creta beherera Salmonen aurkán.
After sailing slowly for many days, we arrived off Cnidus. When the wind impeded us, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8 Eta nequez hura iragaiten guenduela, ethor guentecen Portu-ederrac deitzen den leku batetara, ceinen aldean baitzén Laseaco hiria.
After we had moved along the coast with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9 Eta ceren anhitz dembora iragan baitzén, eta ia vrean ioaitea perilós, ceren ia barura-ere iragan baitzén, conseillatzen cituen Paulec,
By now much time had passed, and the voyage had already become dangerous because it was after the Fast. So Paul advised them,
10 Ciostela, Guiçonác, badacussat ecen itsassoan ioaitea ez solament cargaren eta vnciaren, baina gure vicién-ere peril eta calte handirequin içanen dela.
“Men, I can see that our voyage will be filled with disaster and great loss, not only to ship and cargo, but to our own lives as well.”
11 Baina Centenerac sinhestenago çuen gobernaçalea eta pilotua, ecen ez Paulec erraiten cituen gauçác.
But contrary to Paul’s advice, the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and by the owner of the ship.
12 Eta ceren portua ezpaitzen leku onean neguären iragaiteco, guehiagoac opinionetaco ciraden handic-ere partitzera, neholere Phenicera arriua ahal litezquenez, han neguären iragaiteco, cein baita Africaco eta Choroco haiceari dagocan Cretaco portubat.
Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided to sail on, if somehow they could reach Phoenix to winter there. Phoenix was a harbor in Crete facing both southwest and northwest.
13 Orduan egu-erdi haicea emequi altchatzen hassiric, bere intentionearen complimenduan ciradela vstez, partituric, costabazterca ceçaten aldetsuaz Creta.
When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had their opportunity. So they weighed anchor and sailed along, hugging the coast of Crete.
14 Baina handic sarrisco altcha cedin harenganaco aldetic haice tempestateçu Euroclydon deitzen den-bat.
But it was not long before a cyclone called the Northeaster swept down across the island.
15 Eta vncia haiceaz eraman içan cenean, hala non contra ecin ioan baitzaiten, haiceari vncia abandonnaturic eramaiten guenén.
Unable to head into the wind, the ship was caught up. So we gave way and let ourselves be driven along.
16 Eta Clauda deitzen den islato baten beherera iragan guenenean, nequez batelaren iabe içan ahal guenen.
Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.
17 Hura tiraturic marineréc remedio guciac bilhatzen cituztén, vncia beheretic hersturic: eta Syrtera eror beldurrez, velác erautsiric, berahala eramaiten ciraden.
After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.
18 Eta ceren tempestate handiz tormentatzen baiquenén biharamunean egoizte eguin ceçaten
We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.
19 Guero hereneco egunean gueuroc gure escuz vncico apparaillua egotz gueneçan.
On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
20 Eta nola ez iguzquiric ez içarric anhitz egunez ezpaitzequigun aguer, eta tempestate handiac hertsen baiquentuen guehiagoric salua ahal guentezquelaco sperança gucia gal gueneçan.
When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.
21 Baina dembora lucez ian gaberic egon içan ciradenean, orduan çutic Paulec hayén artean, erran ceçan, O guiçonác, behar çatequeen ni sinhetsiric Cretatic ezquinén partitu, eta ihes eguin peril eta calte huni.
After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. Then you would have averted this disaster and loss.
22 Baina orain exhortatzen çaituztét çareten bihotz onetaco, ecen çuetaric baten-ere galtzeric ezta içanen, vnciarenic baicen.
But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because you will not experience any loss of life, but only of the ship.
23 Ecen presentatu içan da ene aitzinean gau hunetan Iaincoaren Aingueruä, ceinena bainaiz ni, eta cein cerbitzatzen baitut,
For just last night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood beside me
24 Ciostala, Paul, eztuala beldurric, Cesari presentatu behar atzayó: eta horrá, eman drauzquic Iaincoac hirequin vncian diraden guciac.
and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you the lives of all who sail with you.’
25 Hunetacotz bihotz on auçue, guiçonác: ecen sinhesten dut Iaincoa, nola niri erran içan baitzait hala içanen dela.
So take courage, men, for I believe God that it will happen just as He told me.
26 Baina cembeit islatara egotzi behar gara.
However, we must run aground on some island.”
27 Bada hamalaurgarren gauä ethor cedinean, hara huna erabilten guenela itsas Adriaticoan, gauären erditsuan, estima ceçaten marineréc, ecen hurbiltzen litzeyela cembeit comarca.
On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea. About midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
28 Baina plomua hundarrera egotziric, eriden ceçaten hoguey braça, eta handic appurbat guibeleraturic, eta berriz plomua hundarrera egotziric, eriden ceçaten hamaborz braça.
They took soundings and found that the water was twenty fathoms deep. Going a little farther, they took another set of soundings that read fifteen fathoms.
29 Eta beldurrez leku gaitzetara eror litecen laur angura vnci guibeletic egotziric, desiratzen çutén eguna ethor ledin.
Fearing that we would run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daybreak.
30 Eta marinerac vncitic ihes eguin nahiz çabiltzala, batela itsassora erautsiric, aleguia hec angurác vnci aitzinetic hedaturen.
Meanwhile, the sailors attempted to escape from the ship. Pretending to lower anchors from the bow, they let the lifeboat down into the sea.
31 Erran ciecén Paulec Centenerari eta gendarmesey, Baldin hauc vncian ezpadaude, çuec ecin salua çaitezquete.
But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men remain with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32 Orduan gendarmeséc ebaqui citzaten batelaren kordác, eta vtzi ceçaten beherera erortera.
So the soldiers cut the ropes to the lifeboat and set it adrift.
33 Eta arguiaren gainera exhortatzen cituen Paulec guciac, ian leçaten, cioela, Egun haur da hamalaurgarrena, baruric beha çaudetela eta deus hartu eztuçuela.
Right up to daybreak, Paul kept urging them all to eat: “Today is your fourteenth day in constant suspense, without taking any food.
34 Hunegatic exhortatzen çaituztet har deçaçuen iatera: ceren haur çuen emparatzeari appertenitzen baitzayó: ecen çuetaric baten-ere burutic bilobat ezta galduren.
So for your own preservation, I urge you to eat something, because not a single hair of your head will be lost.”
35 Eta gauça hauc erranic, eta oguia harturic gratiác renda cietzón Iaincoari gucién aitzinean: eta hautsiric, has cedin iaten.
After he had said this, Paul took bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Eta guciéc bihotz harturic, har ceçaten hec-ere iateco.
They were all encouraged and took some food themselves.
37 Eta baguinén arima guciac vncian, ber-ehun eta hiruroguey eta hamassey.
In all, there were 276 of us on board.
38 Eta viandaz ressasiaturic, arind ceçaten vncia, ogui-bihia itsassora egoizten lutela.
After the men had eaten their fill, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39 Eta eguna ethorri cenean, herria etzeçaten eçagut: baina portu itsas adar çuen bati ohart cequizquión, hartara, eguin albalute, vncia egotzi aiher ciraden.
When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they sighted a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
40 Eta angurác altchaturic itsassoari vncia abandonna cieçoten, gobernaillén iunctadurac-ere lachaturic, eta haiceari vela altchaturic, tiratzen ari ciraden costara.
Cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea as they loosened the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
41 Baina eroriric bi vr lasterrec encontru eguiten çuten leku batetara, trebuca cequién vncia: eta vnci aitzinea landaturic tinc cegoen: eta vnci guibela hausten cen baguén botherez.
But the vessel struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was being broken up by the pounding of the waves.
42 Orduan gendarmesén conseillua cen presonerén hiltzera, beldurrez cembeit igueri saluaturic itzur ledin.
The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so none of them could swim to freedom.
43 Baina Centenerac Paul emparatu nahiz, harçara citzan conseillu hartaric, eta mana ceçan igueri ahal laiditenac, bere buruäc egotziric lehenic, lurrera empara litecen:
But the centurion, wanting to spare Paul’s life, thwarted their plan. He commanded those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
44 Eta berceac, batzu taula gainetan, batzu vnci çapoetan: eta halatan eguin cedin guciac salburic empara baitzitecen lurrera.
The rest were to follow on planks and various parts of the ship. In this way everyone was brought safely to land.
