< Acts 27 >

1 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.
And 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 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.
And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 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.
And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.
4 And from there And from there having set sail we sailed under Cyprus because of the winds being contrary,
And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 And then along Cilicia and Pamphylia having sailed across [the sea] we came to Myra of Lycia.
And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
6 And there And there having found the centurion a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy he placed us into it.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.
7 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,
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8 With difficulty and coasting along it we came to a place certain being called Fair Havens, to which near [the] city was of Lasea.
and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 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
And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 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.
and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 But the centurion by the pilot and by the ship owner rather was persuaded than by the [things] by Paul spoken.
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 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.
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there]; [which is] a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
13 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.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14 After not long however it threw down from it a wind tempestuous which is being called [the] Northeaster.
But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
15 When was being seized then the ship and not being able to face to the wind having given way we were driven along.
and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven.
16 An Island then certain having run under being called (Cauda *N+KO) we were able with difficulty control to gain of the lifeboat,
And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
17 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.
and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
18 Violently now being storm-tossed of us on the next [day] a jettison of cargo they were making;
And as we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw [the freight] overboard;
19 and on the third [day] with [their] own hands the tackle of the ship (they cast away; *N+KO)
and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 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.
And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.
21 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.
And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22 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.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.
23 Stood by for me this night of God whose am (I myself *n) whom and I serve an angel
For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24 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.
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Therefore take courage men; I believe for in God that thus it will be according to the way it has been said to me.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.
26 Upon an island however certain it behooves us to fall.
Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 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;
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country;
28 And having taken soundings they found fathoms twenty, A little then having gone farther and again having taken soundings they found fathoms fifteen;
and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms: and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 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.
And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.
30 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
And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,
31 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.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Then cut away the soldiers the ropes of the lifeboat and allowed her to fall away.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 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.
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 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)
Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.
35 Having said now these things and having taken bread he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it] he began to eat.
And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all: and he brake it, and began to eat.
36 Encouraged then having been all also themselves they took food;
Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.
37 (we were *N+kO) then the altogether souls in the boat (two hundred *NK+O) seventy six.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 Having been filled then with food they were lightening the ship casting out the wheat into the sea.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 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.
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.
40 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.
And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 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.
But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves].
42 Of the now soldiers [the] plan was that the prisoners they may kill, lest anyone having swum away (may escape. *N+kO)
And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.
43 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,
But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land:
44 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.
and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
