Acts 27
1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,
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.
and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,
3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously pleaded Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, permitted [him], having gone on to friends, to receive [their] care.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And 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 having sailed over the sea down by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, put us into it,
7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come opposite to Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, opposite to Salmone;
and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming down by Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete, down by Salmone,
8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh unto which was the city of Lasea.
and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,
10 And said unto 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 perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the load and of the ship, but also of our lives—the voyage is about to be”;
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 gave more credence to the pilot and to the shipowner than to the things spoken by Paul;
12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence 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.
and the haven being not well placed to winter in, the greater part gave counsel to sail from there, if somehow they might be able, having attained to Phoenix, to winter [there], [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest,
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
and not long after, there came down from it a turbulent wind [that] is called the Euroclydon,
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were carried on,
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
and having run under a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
17 Which when they had taken up, they used support cables, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksand, strake sail, and so were driven.
which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall into the [sandbars of] Syrtis, having let down the mast—so were carried on.
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the cordage of the ship.
and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands,
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.
and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little storm lying on us, from then on all hope was taken away of our being saved.
21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, all of you should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, “It was necessary, indeed, O men—having listened to me—not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
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 now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you—but of the ship;
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
for this night there stood by me a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve—
24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God has given you all them that sail with you.
saying, Do not be afraid Paul; it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you;
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
for this reason be of good cheer, men! For I believe God, that so it will be, even as it has been spoken to me,
26 Nevertheless we must be cast upon a certain island.
and on a certain island it is necessary for us to be cast.”
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the sailors deemed that they drew near to some country;
And when the fourteenth night came—we being carried up and down in the Adria—toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew near to them;
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 sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,
29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
and fearing lest we may fall on rough places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were wishing day to come.
30 And as the sailors were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the bow,
And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretense as [if] out of the prow they are about to cast anchors,
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, all of you cannot be saved.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “If these do not remain in the ship—you are not able to be saved”;
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and permitted it to fall off.
33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that all of you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
And until the day was about to be, Paul was calling on all to partake of nourishment, saying, “Fourteen days today, waiting, you continue fasting, having taken nothing,
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some food: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
for this reason I call on you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you will a hair fall from the head”;
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.
and having said 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 food.
and all having become of good cheer, also took food themselves,
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
(and we were—all the souls in the ship—two hundred, seventy-six),
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth 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.
And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but were perceiving a certain bay having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
and having taken up the anchors, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time—having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the foresail to the wind—they were making for the shore,
41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the front part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the prow, indeed, having stuck fast, remained immoveable, but the stern was broken 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.
And the soldiers’ counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone having swam out should escape,
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, resolving to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and commanded those able to swim, having cast themselves out first—to get to the land,
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, and some on certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
