Acts 27
1 When [the Governor and those who advised him] decided that it was time for us [(exc)] to get on a ship and go to Italy, they put Paul and some other prisoners into the hands/care of an army captain whose name was Julius. [He was the one who would guard us on the journey]. Julius was [an officer] in charge of [a group of] 100 [soldiers that people called] ‘the Emperor Augustus Group’.
Quando foi determinado que deveríamos navegar para a Itália, eles entregaram Paulo e alguns outros prisioneiros a um centurião chamado Julius, da banda Augustan.
2 So we got on a ship that had come from Adramyttium [city in Asia province. The ship] was going to [return there, stopping at] cities along the coast of Asia [province]. Aristarchus, [a fellow believer who was] from Thessalonica [city] in Macedonia [province], went with us.
Embarcando em um navio de Adramyttium, que estava prestes a navegar para lugares na costa da Ásia, colocamos no mar, estando conosco Aristarco, macedônio de Thessalonica.
3 The day after [the ship sailed], we arrived at Sidon [city]. Julius kindly told Paul that he could go and see his friends [who lived there], so that they could give him whatever he might need. [So Paul visited the believers there].
No dia seguinte, tocamos em Sidon. Júlio tratou Paulo amavelmente e lhe deu permissão para ir até seus amigos e se refrescar.
4 Then the ship left [Sidon], but the winds were blowing against us [(exc)], so [the ship] went along [the north] side of Cyprus [Island], the side that is sheltered [from the wind].
Navegando de lá, navegamos sob o lee de Chipre, porque os ventos eram contrários.
5 After that, we crossed over the sea close to the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia [provinces. The ship] arrived at Myra [city, which is] in Lycia [province]. [We got off the ship there].
Quando atravessamos o mar ao largo da Cilícia e Pamphylia, chegamos a Myra, uma cidade de Lícia.
6 In Myra, [people told] Julius that a ship [was there that had come] from Alexandria [city] and would [soon] sail to Italy. So he arranged for us to get [on that ship], [and we left].
Lá, o centurião encontrou um navio de Alexandria navegando para a Itália, e nos colocou a bordo.
7 We sailed slowly for several days and finally arrived close to the coast [of Asia province], near Cnidus [town. After that], the wind [was very strong and] did not allow the ship to move straight ahead [westward. So instead], we sailed [southward] along the side of Crete [Island that is] sheltered [from the wind], and we passed [near Cape] Salmone.
Quando navegamos devagar por muitos dias, e tínhamos chegado com dificuldade em frente ao Cnidus, o vento não nos permitindo mais, navegamos sob o lee de Creta, em frente ao Salmone.
8 [The wind was still strong, and it prevented the ship from moving ahead fast]. So we moved slowly along the coast [of Crete], and we arrived at a harbor that was called Fair Havens, near Lasea [town].
Com dificuldade navegando ao longo dele, chegamos a um certo lugar chamado Fair Havens, perto da cidade de Lasea.
9 Much time had passed, so it would have been dangerous if we [(exc)] had traveled [farther] by ship [because after that time of the year] [MTY] [the sea often became very stormy]. So Paul said to the men [on the ship],
Quando muito tempo tinha passado e a viagem era agora perigosa porque o Rápido já tinha passado, Paul os advertiu
10 “Men, I perceive that [if we(inc) travel by ship] now, it will be disastrous for us. A storm may destroy the ship and the cargo, and possibly we will drown.”
e lhes disse: “Senhores, percebo que a viagem será com ferimentos e muitas perdas, não só da carga e do navio, mas também de nossas vidas”.
11 But the officer [did not listen to] what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the pilot [of the ship] and the owner of the ship advised.
Mas o centurião deu mais atenção ao capitão e ao proprietário do navio do que àquelas coisas que foram ditas por Paulo.
12 The harbor where the ship had stopped was not a good place to remain during the winter [when the weather frequently becomes stormy. So most of the people on the ship decided that we(exc) should leave there, because they hoped that we] could stay at Phoenix [port] during the winter, if we could possibly arrive there. That harbor was open to the sea in two directions, [but the strong winds did not blow there].
Como o paraíso não era adequado para o inverno, a maioria aconselhou ir para o mar de lá, se de alguma forma pudessem chegar a Phoenix e invernar lá, que é um porto de Creta, olhando para sudoeste e noroeste.
13 Then a gentle wind began to blow [from the south], and the [crew members] thought that they could travel as they had decided [to do. So] they lifted [the anchor up out of the sea], and the ship sailed [westward] along the [southern] shore of Crete [Island].
Quando o vento sul soprava suavemente, supondo que tinham obtido seu propósito, eles pesaram âncora e navegaram ao longo de Creta, perto da costa.
14 But after a while, a wind that was very strong blew across the island [from the north side and hit the ship. That wind was called] {[People] called that wind} “the Northeast Wind.”
Mas em pouco tempo, um vento tempestuoso soprou da costa, que é chamado de Euroclydon.
15 It blew strongly against the [front of] the ship. The result was that we could not keep going in the direction [in which we had been going]. So the sailors let the wind move the ship in the direction [that the wind] was blowing.
Quando o navio foi pego e não conseguiu enfrentar o vento, nós cedemos e fomos levados.
16 The ship then passed a small island named Cauda. We passed along the side [of the island that] sheltered [the ship from the wind]. Then [while the ship was moving along], the sailors lifted the lifeboat up [out of the water] and tied it [on the deck. But the strong wind made it] difficult even to do that.
Correndo sob o sotavento de uma pequena ilha chamada Clauda, conseguimos, com dificuldade, segurar o barco.
17 After the sailors [hoisted/lifted] the lifeboat onto the ship, they tied ropes around the ship’s hull to strengthen the ship. The sailors were afraid that, [because the wind was pushing the ship], it might run onto the sandbanks off the coast of Libya to the south [and get stuck there. So] they lowered the largest sail [so that the ship would move slower. Even so], the wind continued to move the ship along. [The wind and the waves] continued to toss the ship about roughly, so on the next day the sailors began to throw overboard the things that the ship was carrying.
Depois de o terem içado, eles usaram cabos para ajudar a reforçar o navio. Temendo que encalhassem nas barras de areia Syrtis, eles baixaram a âncora do mar, e assim foram conduzidos ao longo.
Como trabalhávamos muito com a tempestade, no dia seguinte eles começaram a jogar coisas ao mar.
19 On the third [day after the stormy wind had begun to blow], the sailors/we [MTY] threw overboard [most of] the sails, ropes, and poles, [in order to make the ship lighter].
No terceiro dia, eles jogaram fora o equipamento do navio com suas próprias mãos.
20 The wind continued to blow very strongly, [and the sky was full of dark clouds] day and night. We could not see the sun or the stars for many days, [so we could not determine where we were. And the wind] continued to blow violently. So we [(exc)] finally thought that we would drown in the sea.
Quando nem sol nem estrelas brilharam sobre nós por muitos dias, e nenhuma pequena tempestade nos pressionou, toda a esperança de que seríamos salvos foi agora tirada.
21 None of us on the ship had eaten for many days. [Then one day], Paul stood up in front of us and said, “[Friends], you should have listened to me [when I said] that we [(inc)] should not sail from Crete. Then we would have been safe, and the ship and its cargo would be in good condition [LIT].
Quando ficaram muito tempo sem comida, Paul levantou-se no meio deles e disse: “Senhores, vocês deveriam ter me escutado, e não ter partido de Creta e ter conseguido esta lesão e perda.
22 But now, I urge you, do not be afraid, because none of us will die. [The storm] will destroy the ship but not us.
Agora eu os exorto a se animarem, pois não haverá perda de vidas entre vocês, mas apenas do navio.
23 I [know this], because last night God, the one to whom I belong and whom I serve, [sent] an angel [who came and] stood by me.
Pois esta noite esteve ao meu lado um anjo, pertencente ao Deus de quem sou e a quem sirvo,
24 The angel said to me, ‘Paul, do not be afraid! You [(sg)] must [go to Rome] and stand before the Emperor there [so that he can judge you]. I want you to know that God has made it clear to me that all those who are traveling by ship with you [will also survive].’
dizendo: 'Não tenha medo, Paulo. Você deve estar diante de César”. Eis que Deus vos concedeu todos aqueles que navegam convosco”.
25 So cheer up, [my] friends, because I believe that God will make this happen, exactly as [the angel] told me.
Portanto, senhores, animem-se! Pois eu acredito em Deus, que será exatamente como foi dito a mim.
26 However, [the ship] will crash on some island, [and] we [(inc)] will go ashore [there].”
Mas devemos encalhar em uma certa ilha”.
27 On the fourteenth night [after the storm had begun, the ship] was still being blown {the wind was still blowing [the ship]} across the Adriatic sea. About midnight, the sailors sensed that the ship was getting close to land.
Mas quando chegou a décima quarta noite, quando fomos levados para frente e para trás no Mar Adriático, por volta da meia-noite os marinheiros supuseram que estavam se aproximando de alguma terra.
28 So they lowered [a weight on a rope] to measure how deep [the water was]. When they pulled the rope up again, they measured it and saw that the water was (120 ft./37 meters) deep. They went a little farther and lowered the rope again. [That time], they saw that the water was [only] about (90 ft./28 meters) deep.
Eles pegaram as sondagens e encontraram vinte braças. Passado um pouco, voltaram a fazer sondagens e encontraram quinze braças.
29 They were afraid that the [ship] might go onto some rocks, so they threw out four anchors from the [ship’s] stern/back and continued to wish/pray that it would soon be dawn [so that they could see where the ship was going].
Temendo que encalharíamos em terreno rochoso, soltaram quatro âncoras da popa, e desejaram a luz do dia.
30 Some of the sailors were planning to escape from the ship, so they lowered the lifeboat into the sea. In order [that no one would know what they planned to do], they pretended [that] they wanted to lower some anchors from the [ship’s] front/bow.
Enquanto os marinheiros tentavam fugir do navio e tinham baixado o barco para o mar, fingindo que lançariam âncoras da proa,
31 But Paul said to the army officer and soldiers, “If the sailors do not stay in the ship, you have no hope of being saved.”
Paulo disse ao centurião e aos soldados: “Se estes não ficarem no navio, não poderão ser salvos”.
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes and let the lifeboat fall into the water.
Então os soldados cortaram as cordas do barco e o deixaram cair.
33 Just before dawn, Paul urged everyone [on the ship] to eat some food. He said, “For the past 14 days you have been waiting and watching and not eating anything.
Enquanto o dia estava chegando, Paul implorou a todos eles que levassem alguma comida, dizendo: “Hoje é o décimo quarto dia que você espera e continua jejuando, não tendo levado nada.
34 So, [now] I urge you to eat some food. We [(inc)] need to do that in order to stay alive. I [tell you to do that because I know that] none of you will drown [IDM].”
Portanto, peço-lhes que levem alguma comida, pois isto é para sua segurança; pois não perecerá um cabelo de nenhuma de suas cabeças”.
35 After Paul had said that, while everyone was watching, he took some bread and thanked God [for it. Then he broke the bread and began to eat some of it].
Quando disse isto e tomou o pão, deu graças a Deus na presença de todos; depois partiu-o e começou a comer.
36 The [rest of us] became encouraged, so we [(exc)] all ate some food.
Então todos se animaram e também tomaram comida.
37 Altogether there were 276 of us [SYN] on the ship.
Ao todo, éramos duzentas e setenta e seis almas no navio.
38 When everyone had eaten as much as they wanted, they threw the grain [that the ship was carrying] into the sea, and this made the ship lighter.
Quando já tinham comido o suficiente, iluminaram o navio, jogando o trigo no mar.
39 At dawn, [we(exc) could see] land, [but the sailors] did not recognize [the place]. However, they could see that there was a bay and [a wide area of] sand at the water’s edge. They planned that, if it was possible, they would steer the ship onto [the beach].
Quando já era dia, eles não reconheceram a terra, mas notaram uma certa baía com uma praia, e decidiram tentar levar o navio até ela.
40 [So some of the sailors] cut the anchor [ropes and] let the anchors fall into the sea. At the same time, [other sailors] untied the [ropes that] fastened the rudders, [so that they could steer the ship again]. Then [the sailors] raised the sail at the front/bow of the ship so that the wind [would blow the ship forward], and the ship headed towards the shore.
Lançando as âncoras, deixaram-nas no mar, ao mesmo tempo em que desatavam as cordas do leme. Levantando a proa ao vento, eles fizeram para a praia.
41 But the ship hit a sandbank. The front of the ship stuck there and could not move, and big waves beat against the back of the ship and it began to break apart.
Mas chegando a um lugar onde dois mares se encontraram, encalharam o navio. A proa bateu e permaneceu imóvel, mas a popa começou a se romper pela violência das ondas.
42 The soldiers said [to one another, “Let’s] kill [all] the prisoners [on the ship], so that they will not [be able to] swim [away and] escape.” [They planned to do that because they were sure] that officials [would order them to be executed if they let the prisoners escape].
O conselho dos soldados era de matar os prisioneiros, para que nenhum deles saísse a nado e fugisse.
43 But [Julius], the army captain, wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers from doing what they planned to do. Instead, he [commanded] first that everyone who could swim should jump into the water and swim to land.
Mas o centurião, desejando salvar Paulo, impediu-os de seu propósito, e ordenou que aqueles que pudessem nadar se lançassem ao mar primeiro para ir em direção à terra;
44 [Then he told] the others [to hold] onto planks or pieces from the ship [and go towards shore. We(exc) did what he said, and] in that way all of us arrived safely on land.
e os demais deveriam seguir, alguns em pranchas e outros em outras coisas do navio. Assim, todos eles escaparam com segurança para a terra.
