Acts 27

1And 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.

1And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

1And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,

2And 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.

2And we went to sea in a ship of Adramyttium which was sailing to the sea towns of Asia, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

2Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.

3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

3And on the day after, we came to Sidon; and Julius was kind to Paul, and let him go to see his friends and take a rest.

3And the day following, we came to Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends and to take care of himself.

4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

4And sailing again from there, we went on under cover of Cyprus, because the wind was against us.

4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

5And having gone across the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra, in Lycia.

5And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia.

6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

6And there the captain came across a ship of Alexandria, sailing for Italy, and put us in it.

6And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.

7And 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;

7And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

7And when for many days we had sailed slowly and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone.

8And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

8And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.

8And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.

9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

9And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

9And when much time was spent and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,

10And 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.

10Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.

10Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

11But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

11But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.

12And 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 lieth toward the south west and north west.

12And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.

12And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice, to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.

13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

13And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.

13And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.

14But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

14But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

14But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.

15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

15And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.

15And when the ship was caught and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.

16And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

16And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:

16And running under a certain island that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.

17Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

17And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.

17Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard and so were driven.

18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

18And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;

18And we, being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.

19And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

19And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.

19And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tacking of the ship.

20And 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.

20And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

20And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and no small storms lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.

21But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

21And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.

21And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me and not have loosed from Crete and have gained this harm and loss.

22And 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.

22But now, I say to you, be of good heart, for there will be no loss of life, but only of the ship.

22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship.

23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

23For this night there came to my side an angel of the God who is my Master and whose servant I am,

23For an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,

24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

24Saying, Have no fear, Paul, for you will come before Caesar, and God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.

24Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

25And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.

25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.

26Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

26But we will be sent on to a certain island.

26And we must come unto a certain island.

27But 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;

27But when the fourteenth day came, while we were going here and there in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the sailors had an idea that they were getting near land;

27But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.

28And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.

28And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.

28Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms: and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.

29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

29Then, fearing that by chance we might come on to the rocks, they let down four hooks from the back of the ship, and made prayers for the coming of day.

29Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern: and wished for the day.

30And as the shipmen 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 foreship,

30Then the sailors made attempts secretly to get away from the ship, letting down a boat as if they were about to put down hooks from the front of the ship;

30But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,

31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

31But Paul said to the captain and his men, If you do not keep these men in the ship, you will not be safe.

31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.

32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

32Then the armed men, cutting the cords of the boat, let her go.

32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let her fall off.

33And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

33And when dawn was near, Paul gave them all orders to take food, saying, This is the fourteenth day you have been waiting and taking no food.

33And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited and continued fasting, taking nothing.

34Wherefore 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.

34So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.

34Wherefore, I pray you to take some meat for your health's sake: for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish.

35And 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.

35And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.

35And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all. And when he had broken it, he began to eat.

36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.

36Then they all took heart and did the same.

36Then were they all of better cheer: and they also took some meat.

37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

37And we were, in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six persons.

37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

38And when they had had enough food, they made the weight of the ship less, turning the grain out into the sea.

38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.

39And 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.

39And when it was day, they had no knowledge of the land, but they saw an inlet of the sea with a floor of sand, and they had the idea of driving the ship up on to it if possible.

39And when it was day, they knew not the land. But they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.

40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

40So cutting away the hooks, and letting them go into the sea, and freeing the cords of the guiding-blades, and lifting up the sail to the wind, they went in the direction of the inlet.

40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands. And hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.

41And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

41And coming to a point between two seas, they got the ship to land; and the front part was fixed in the sand and not able to be moved, but the back part was broken by the force of the waves.

41And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground. And the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.

42And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

42Then the armed men were for putting the prisoners to death, so that no one would get away by swimming.

42And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out should escape.

43But 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:

43But the captain, desiring to keep Paul safe, kept them from their purpose, and gave orders that those who had knowledge of swimming were to go off the ship and get first to land:

43But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done. And he commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves first into the sea and save themselves and get to land.

44And 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.

44And the rest, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so it came about that they all got safe to land.

44And the rest, some they carried on boards and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass that every soul got safe to land.
