< Acts 27 >

1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
When now was determined sailing our to Italy, they were delivering both Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius of the cohort of Augustus.
2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Having boarded then on a ship of Adramyttium (being about *N+kO) to sail (to *no) the along Asia places we set sail — while was being with us Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica.
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go to his friends to refresh himself.
On the then next [day] we landed at Sidon, Considerately then Julius Paul was treating he allowed [him] to [his] friends (may be going *N+kO) care to receive.
4 And when we had launched from there, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And from there And from there having set sail we sailed under Cyprus because of the winds being contrary,
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
And then along Cilicia and Pamphylia having sailed across [the sea] we came to Myra of Lycia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
And there And there having found the centurion a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy he placed us into it.
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
For many now days sailing slowly and with difficulty having arrived off Cnidus not is permitting us the wind we sailed under Crete off Salmone,
8 And, hardly passing it, came to a place which is called The fair havens; near to where was the city of Lasea.
With difficulty and coasting along it we came to a place certain being called Fair Havens, to which near [the] city was of Lasea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
When much now time having passed and is being already dangerous the voyage because of even the Fast already being over, was admonishing [them] Paul
10 And said to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
saying to them; Men, I understand that with disaster and much loss not only of the (burden *N+kO) and of the ship but also the lives of us ensuing to be the voyage.
11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
But the centurion by the pilot and by the ship owner rather was persuaded than by the [things] by Paul spoken.
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart there also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west.
Unsuitable now the harbor being to winter in the majority reached a decision to set sail (from there, *N+kO) if somehow they would be able having arrived at Phoenix to winter [there] — a harbor of Crete looking toward [the] southwest and toward [the] northwest.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing there, they sailed close by Crete.
When was blowing gently now a south wind having thought the purpose to have obtained, having weighed [anchor] very near they were coasting along Crete.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
After not long however it threw down from it a wind tempestuous which is being called [the] Northeaster.
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
When was being seized then the ship and not being able to face to the wind having given way we were driven along.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
An Island then certain having run under being called (Cauda *N+KO) we were able with difficulty control to gain of the lifeboat,
17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, under girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.
which having taken up supports they were using undergirding the ship; Fearing then lest into the sandbars of Syrtis they may fall having lowered the gear, thus they were driven along.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
Violently now being storm-tossed of us on the next [day] a jettison of cargo they were making;
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
and on the third [day] with [their] own hands the tackle of the ship (they cast away; *N+KO)
20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
Neither now sun nor stars appearing for many days, tempest and no small afflicted [us] from then on was abandoned hope all of being saved us.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the middle of them, and said, Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
Much (also *N+kO) time without food there being at that time having stood up Paul in midst of them he said; It was necessary [for you] indeed, O men, having been obedient to me not to have set sail from Crete, to have incurred then disaster this and loss.
22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.
And yet now I exhort you to keep up your courage; loss for of life none there will be from among you only of the ship.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
Stood by for me this night of God whose am (I myself *n) whom and I serve an angel
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, see, God has given you all them that sail with you.
saying; Not do fear, Paul, to Caesar you it behooves to stand before, And behold has granted to you God all those sailing with you.
25 Why, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Therefore take courage men; I believe for in God that thus it will be according to the way it has been said to me.
26 However, we must be cast on a certain island.
Upon an island however certain it behooves us to fall.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
When then [the] fourteenth night had come being driven about of us in the Adriatic, toward [the] middle of the night were sensing the sailors to be drawing near some to them land;
28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
And having taken soundings they found fathoms twenty, A little then having gone farther and again having taken soundings they found fathoms fifteen;
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen on rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Fearing then lest perhaps (on *N+kO) rocky places (we may fall, *NK+O) out of [the] stern having cast anchors four they were praying for day to come.
30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under color as though they would have cast anchors out of the bow,
Of the then sailors seeking to flee out of the ship and having let down the lifeboat into the sea under pretense as from [the] bow anchors being about to cast out
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, you cannot be saved.
said Paul to the centurion and to the soldiers; Only unless these shall remain in the ship, [then] you yourselves to be saved not you are able.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Then cut away the soldiers the ropes of the lifeboat and allowed her to fall away.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul sought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
Until then that day was about to come, was urging Paul all to partake of food saying; [the] fourteenth today [is] day watching without eating you continue nothing having taken.
34 Why I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
Therefore I exhort you (to partake *N+kO) of food; this indeed for of you preservation is; not [one] for of you a hair (of *N+kO) the head (will perish. *N+KO)
35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
Having said now these things and having taken bread he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it] he began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
Encouraged then having been all also themselves they took food;
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred three score and sixteen souls.
(we were *N+kO) then the altogether souls in the boat (two hundred *NK+O) seventy six.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
Having been filled then with food they were lightening the ship casting out the wheat into the sea.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
When now day it was, the land not they were recognizing, a bay however certain they were noticing having a shore, on which (they were determining *N+kO) if (they would be able, *NK+o) (to drive [aground] *NK+O) the ship.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
And the anchors having cut away they were leaving [them] in the sea, at the same time having loosened the ropes of the rudders And having hoisted the foresail to the blowing [wind] they were making for the shore.
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
Having fallen however into a place between two seas they ran aground the vessel; and the indeed bow having stuck fast it remained immovable, however the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
Of the now soldiers [the] plan was that the prisoners they may kill, lest anyone having swum away (may escape. *N+kO)
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
But the centurion desiring to save Paul hindered them of the purpose, he commanded then those being able to swim having cast [themselves] off first on the land to go out,
44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
and the rest some indeed on boards, some however on things from the ship. And thus it came to pass that all being saved to the land.
