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 Festos commanded concerning him that he should be sent unto Caesar in Italia. And he delivered Paulos, and other prisoners with him, to a certain man, a centurion of the band of Sebaste, whose name was Julios.
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 when he would proceed, we went down to a ship which was from Adramantos the city, to go to the region of Asia. And Aristarkos, a Makedonoya who was of Thessalunike the city,
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.
entered the ship with us. And the day after we came to Tsaidon. And the centurion behaved with kindness towards Paulos, and permitted him to go to his friends and be refreshed.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
And from thence we voyaged; and because the winds were contrary we made a circuit unto Cypros.
5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
And we went through the sea of Cilicia and of Pamphulia, and came to Mura, a city of Lukia.
6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
And the centurion found there a ship from Aleksandria which was going to Italia, and he placed us in her.
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 because she sailed heavily, (after) many days we had scarce come over against Knidos the island, and as the wind did not permit us to go directly, we went round by Kreta against Salmona the city;
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 voyaging we passing around it came to the place which is called the Fair Havens. AND it was nigh to the city named Lasia.
9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
And we were there much time, until the day when the day of the fast of the Jihudoyee had also passed, and there had become danger for one to voyage by sea. And Paulos counselled them
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.
and said, Men, I perceive that with distress and much loss we are to voyage, not only to the burden of the ship, but also to our own lives.
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 hearkened to the governor and to the lord of the ship rather than to the counsel of Paulos.
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 because that haven was not convenient to winter in, many of us desired to proceed thence, and if possible to come and winter in a certain harbour in Kreta, called Phoniks, and which looked to the south.
13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
And when the wind of the south blew, and we thought we could come as we desired, we sailed round Kreta.
14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
And after a little there came forth against us a blowing of the tempest which is called Tuphonikos Euroklidon;
15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
and the ship was carried away, and could not stand against the wind, and we gave her into its hand.
16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
And when we had passed a certain isle that is called Cyra; we could scarcely take up 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.
And when we had uplifted her, we girded and strengthened the ship. And because we feared lest we should fall into the precipitancy of the sea, we brought down the sails, and so went forward. i
18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
And while there rose against us the hard tempest, the next day we threw the goods into the sea.
19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the cordage of the ship.
And the third day the things of the ship itself we cast forth. And when the storm had held more days,
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 the sun was seen, nor the moon, nor stars, the hope that we should be saved at all was cut off.
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 while no man had taken any food, then stood Paulos among them, and said, Men, if you had been persuaded by me, you would not have voyaged from Kreta, and we should have been exempted from loss, and from this distress.
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.
Yet now I counsel you to be without anxiety; for not one of you will perish, but the ship only.
23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
For in this night there appeared to me the angel of Aloha, (of) him 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.
And he said to me, Fear not, Paulos, for thou art to stand before Caesar; and, behold, Aloha hath given thee the gift of all who voyage with thee.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
Therefore, men, take courage; for I believe Aloha, that so it shall be as he hath told me.
26 Nevertheless we must be cast upon a certain island.
Nevertheless, upon a certain island we have 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 after fourteen days (in) which we had wandered and been beaten in the sea of Hadrios, in the dividing of the night, the mariners thought that we drew nigh to 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 they cast the lead, and found twenty cubits; and again a little they proceeded, and found fifteen cubits.
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 should be found in a place in which were rocks, they cast forth from the hinder part of the ship four anchors, and prayed that it would become day.
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,
But the mariners sought to escape from the ship, and lowered from her the boat into the sea, on the pretext that they would go in her, and bind the ship to the land.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, all of you cannot be saved.
And when Paulos saw, he said to the centurion and to the soldiers, If these in the ship remain not, you cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Then cut the soldiers the cable of the boat from the ship, and let her drive.
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.
But Paulos himself, until it was morning, persuaded all of them to take food, saying to them, To-day it is fourteen days (in which) from danger you have tasted 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.
Wherefore I beseech you receive meat for the establishment of your lives; for a hair of the head of one of you will not perish.
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 when these he had said, he took bread, and praised Aloha before them all, and he broke and began to eat.
36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some food.
And they were all comforted, and received food.
37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
But we were in the ship two hundred and seventy and six souls.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship, and took up the wheat and sent it 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 it was day, the sailors knew not what land it was; but they saw along the coast a certain inlet of the sea, (into) which they purposed if possible to drive 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 they cut the anchors from the ship, and left them in the sea, and they loosed the bands of the oars, and raised a small sail to the wind which blew, and went forward to the face of the land.
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 the ship struck on a high place between two depths of the sea, and infixed herself in it; and her forepart stood upon it, and was immovable, but her afterpart was loosed from 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 would have killed the prisoners, lest they should cast forth to swim, and escape from them;
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:
and the centurion restrained them from this, because he was willing to save Paulos. And those who could cast forth to swim he commanded to be the first to swim, and to pass 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, on boards, and on other timbers of the ship, passed; and thus all of them escaped to land.
