WHEN IT WAS DECIDED that we should sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan Cohort. | Paul Sails for Rome Ac.27.1-12 | Ὡς δὲ ἐκρίθη τοῦ ἀποπλεῖν ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν Ἰταλίαν, παρεδίδουν τόν τε παῦλον καί τινας ἑτέρους δεσμώτας ἑκατοντάρχῃ ὀνόματι Ἰουλίῳ σπείρης Σεβαστῆς. |
| 2 |
We embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, bound for ports in the province of Asia, and put out to sea. In our party was Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica. | | ἐπιβάντες δὲ πλοίῳ Ἀδραμυττηνῷ μέλλοντι πλεῖν εἰς τοὺς κατὰ τὴν Ἀσίαν τόπους ἀνήχθημεν, ὀντος σὺν ἡμῖν Ἀριστάρχου Μακεδόνος Θεσσαλονικέως· |
| 3 |
Next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius very considerately allowed Paul to go to his friends to be cared for. | | τῇ τε ἑτέρᾳ κατήχθημεν εἰς Σιδῶνα, φιλανθρώπως τε ὁ Ἰούλιος τῷ Παύλῳ χρησάμενος ἐπέτρεψεν πρὸς τοὺς φίλους πορευθέντι ἐπιμελείας τυχεῖν. |
| 4 |
Leaving Sidon we sailed under the lee of Cyprus because of the head-winds, | | κἀκεῖθεν ἀναχθέντες ὑπεπλεύσαμεν τὴν Κύπρον διὰ τὸ τοὺς ἀνέμους εἶναι ἐναντίους, |
| 5 |
then across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, and so reached Myra in Lycia.
| | τό τε πέλαγος τὸ κατὰ τὴν Κιλικίαν καὶ Παμφυλίαν διαπλεύσαντες κατήλθομεν εἰς Μύρα τῆς Λυκίας. |
| 6 |
There the centurion found an Alexandrian vessel bound for Italy and put us aboard. | | κἀκεῖ εὑρὼν ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης πλοῖον Ἀλεξανδρῖνον πλέον εἰς τὴν Ἰταλίαν ἐνεβίβασεν ἡμᾶς εἰς αὐτό. |
| 7 |
For a good many days we made little headway, and we were hard put to it to reach Cnidus. Then, as the wind continued against us, off Salmone we began to sail under the lee of Crete, | | ἐν ἱκαναῖς δὲ ἡμέραις βραδυπλοοῦντες καὶ μόλις γενόμενοι κατὰ τὴν Κνίδον, μὴ προσεῶντος ἡμᾶς τοῦ ἀνέμου, ὑπεπλεύσαμεν τὴν Κρήτην κατὰ Σαλμώνην, |
| 8 |
and, hugging the coast, struggled on to a place called Fair Havens, not far from the town of Lasea.
| | μόλις τε παραλεγόμενοι αὐτὴν ἠλθομεν εἰς τόπον τινὰ καλούμενον Καλοὺς Λιμένας, ᾧ ἐγγὺς πόλις ἦν Λασαία. |
| 9 |
By now much time had been lost, the Fast was already over, and it was risky to go on with the voyage. | | Ἱκανοῦ δὲ χρόνου διαγενομένου καὶ ὀντος ἠδη ἐπισφαλοῦς τοῦ πλοὸς διὰ τὸ καὶ τὴν νηστείαν ἠδη παρεληλυθέναι, παρῄνει ὁ Παῦλος |
| 10 |
Paul therefore gave them this advice: 'I can see, gentlemen,' he said, 'that this voyage will be disastrous: it will mean grave loss, loss not only of ship and cargo but also of life.' | | λέγων αὐτοῖς, Ἄνδρες, θεωρῶ ὅτι μετὰ ὑβρεως καὶ πολλῆς ζημίας οὐ μόνον τοῦ φορτίου καὶ τοῦ πλοίου ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν μέλλειν ἐσεσθαι τὸν πλοῦν. |
| 11 |
But the centurion paid more attention to the captain and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said; | | ὁ δὲ ἑκατοντάρχης τῷ κυβερνήτῃ καὶ τῷ ναυκλήρῳ μᾶλλον ἐπείθετο ἢ τοῖς ὑπὸ Παύλου λεγομένοις. |
| 12 |
and as the harbour was unsuitable for wintering, the majority were in favour of putting out to sea, hoping, if they could get so far, to winter at Phoenix, a Cretan harbour exposed south-west and north-west. | | ἀνευθέτου δὲ τοῦ λιμένος ὑπάρχοντος πρὸς παραχειμασίαν οἱ πλείονες ἐθεντο βουλὴν ἀναχθῆναι ἐκεῖθεν, εἰ πως δύναιντο καταντήσαντες εἰς Φοίνικα παραχειμάσαι, λιμένα τῆς Κρήτης βλέποντα κατὰ λίβα καὶ κατὰ χῶρον. |
| 13 |
So when a southerly breeze sprang up, they thought that their purpose was as good as achieved, and, weighing anchor, they sailed along the coast of Crete hugging the land. | The Storm at Sea Ac.27.13-38 | Ὑποπνεύσαντος δὲ νότου δόξαντες τῆς προθέσεως κεκρατηκέναι, ἀραντες ἆσσον παρελέγοντο τὴν Κρήτην. |
| 14 |
But before very long a fierce wind, the 'North-easter' as they call it, tore down from the landward side. | | μετ' οὐ πολὺ δὲ ἐβαλεν κατ' αὐτῆς ἀνεμος τυφωνικὸς ὁ καλούμενος Εὐρακύλων· |
| 15 |
It caught the ship and, as it was impossible to keep head to wind, we had to give way and run before it. | | συναρπασθέντος δὲ τοῦ πλοίου καὶ μὴ δυναμένου ἀντοφθαλμεῖν τῷ ἀνέμῳ ἐπιδόντες ἐφερόμεθα. |
| 16 |
We ran under the lee of a small island called Cauda, and with a struggle managed to get the ship's boat under control. | | νησίον δέ τι ὑποδραμόντες καλούμενον Καῦδα ἰσχύσαμεν μόλις περικρατεῖς γενέσθαι τῆς σκάφης, |
| 17 |
When they had hoisted it aboard, they made use of tackle and under-girded the ship. Then, because they were afraid of running on to the shallows of Syrtis, they lowered the mainsail and let her drive. | | ἣν ἀραντες βοηθείαις ἐχρῶντο ὑποζωννύντες τὸ πλοῖον· φοβούμενοί τε μὴ εἰς τὴν Σύρτιν ἐκπέσωσιν, χαλάσαντες τὸ σκεῦος, οὑτως ἐφέροντο. |
| 18 |
Next day, as we were making very heavy weather, they began to lighten the ship; | | σφοδρῶς δὲ χειμαζομένων ἡμῶν τῇ ἑξῆς ἐκβολὴν ἐποιοῦντο, |
| 19 |
and on the third day they jettisoned the ship's gear with their own hands. | | καὶ τῇ τρίτῃ αὐτόχειρες τὴν σκευὴν τοῦ πλοίου ἐρριψαν. |
| 20 |
For days on end there was no sign of either sun or stars, a great storm was raging, and our last hopes of coming through alive began to fade.
| | μήτε δὲ ἡλίου μήτε ἀστρων ἐπιφαινόντων ἐπὶ πλείονας ἡμέρας, χειμῶνός τε οὐκ ὀλίγου ἐπικειμένου, λοιπὸν περιῃρεῖτο ἐλπὶς πᾶσα τοῦ σῴζεσθαι ἡμᾶς. |
| 21 |
When they had gone for a long time without food, Paul stood up among them and said, 'You should have taken my advice, gentlemen, not to sail from Crete; then you would have avoided this damage and loss. | | Πολλῆς τε ἀσιτίας ὑπαρχούσης τότε σταθεὶς ὁ Παῦλος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν εἶπεν, Ἔδει μέν, ὦ ἀνδρες, πειθαρχήσαντάς μοι μὴ ἀνάγεσθαι ἀπὸ τῆς Κρήτης κερδῆσαί τε τὴν ὑβριν ταύτ ην καὶ τὴν ζημίαν. |
| 22 |
But now I urge you not to lose heart; not a single life will be lost, only the ship. | | καὶ τὰ νῦν παραινῶ ὑμᾶς εὐθυμεῖν, ἀποβολὴ γὰρ ψυχῆς οὐδεμία ἐσται ἐξ ὑμῶν πλὴν τοῦ πλοίου· |
| 23 |
For last night there stood by me an angel of the God whose I am and whom I worship. | | παρέστη γάρ μοι ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ τοῦ θεοῦ οὗ εἰμι , ᾧ καὶ λατρεύω, ἀγγελος |
| 24 |
"Do not be afraid, Paul," he said; "it is ordained that you shall appear before the Emperor; and, be assured. God has granted you the lives of all who are sailing with you." | | λέγων, Μὴ φοβοῦ, Παῦλε· Καίσαρί σε δεῖ παραστῆναι, καὶ ἰδοὺ κεχάρισταί σοι ὁ θεὸς πάντας τοὺς πλέοντας μετὰ σοῦ. |
| 25 |
So keep up your courage: I trust in God that it will turn out as I have been told; | | διὸ εὐθυμεῖτε, ἀνδρες· πιστεύω γὰρ τῷ θεῷ ὅτι οὑτως ἐσται καθ' ὃν τρόπον λελάληταί μοι. |
| 26 |
though we have to be cast ashore on some island.'
| | εἰς νῆσον δέ τινα δεῖ ἡμᾶς ἐκπεσεῖν. |
| 27 |
The fourteenth night came and we were still drifting in the Sea of Adria. In the middle of the night the sailors felt that land was getting nearer. | | Ὡς δὲ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτη νὺξ ἐγένετο διαφερομένων ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ Ἀδρίᾳ, κατὰ μέσον τῆς νυκτὸς ὑπενόουν οἱ ναῦται προσάγειν τινὰ αὐτοῖς χώραν. |
| 28 |
They sounded and found twenty fathoms. Sounding again after a short interval they found fifteen fathoms; | | καὶ βολίσαντες εὗρον ὀργυιὰς εἰκοσι, βραχὺ δὲ διαστήσαντες καὶ πάλιν βολίσαντες εὗρον ὀργυιὰς δεκαπέντε· |
| 29 |
and fearing that we might be cast ashore on a rugged coast they dropped four anchors from the stem and prayed for daylight to come. | | φοβούμενοί τε μή που κατὰ τραχεῖς τόπους ἐκπέσωμεν, ἐκ πρύμνης ῥίψαντες ἀγκύρας τέσσαρας ηὐχοντο ἡμέραν γενέσθαι. |
| 30 |
The sailors tried to abandon ship; they had already lowered the ship's boat, pretending they were going to lay out anchors from the bows, | | τῶν δὲ ναυτῶν ζητούντων φυγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ πλοίου καὶ χαλασάντων τὴν σκάφην εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν προφάσει ὡς ἐκ πρῴρης ἀγκύρας μελλόντων ἐκτείνειν, |
| 31 |
when Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, 'Unless these men stay on board you can none of you come off safely.' | | εἶπεν ὁ Παῦλος τῷ ἑκατοντάρχῃ καὶ τοῖς στρατιώταις, Ἐὰν μὴ οὗτοι μείνωσιν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ, ὑμεῖς σωθῆναι οὐ δύνασθε. |
| 32 |
So the soldiers cut the ropes of the boat and let her drop away.
| | τότε ἀπέκοψαν οἱ στρατιῶται τὰ σχοινία τῆς σκάφης καὶ εἰασαν αὐτὴν ἐκπεσεῖν. |
| 33 |
Shortly before daybreak Paul urged them all to take some food. 'For the last fourteen days', he said, 'you have lived in suspense and gone hungry; you have eaten nothing whatever. | | Ἄχρι δὲ οὗ ἡμέρα ἠμελλεν γίνεσθαι παρεκάλει ὁ Παῦλος ἀπαντας μεταλαβεῖν τροφῆς λέγων, Τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτην σήμερον ἡμέραν προσδοκῶντες ἀσιτοι διατελεῖτε, μηθὲν προσλαβόμενοι· |
| 34 |
So I beg you to have something to eat; your lives depend on it. Remember, not a hair of your heads will be lost.' | | διὸ παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς μεταλαβεῖν τροφῆς, τοῦτο γὰρ πρὸς τῆς ὑμετέρας σωτηρίας ὑπάρχει· οὐδενὸς γὰρ ὑμῶν θρὶξ ἀπὸ τῆς κεφαλῆς ἀπολεῖται. |
| 35 |
With these words, he took bread, gave thanks to God in front of them all, broke it, and began eating. | | εἰπας δὲ ταῦτα καὶ λαβὼν ἀρτον εὐχαρίστησεν τῷ θεῷ ἐνώπιον πάντων καὶ κλάσας ἠρξατο ἐσθίειν. |
| 36 |
Then they all plucked up courage, and took food themselves. | | εὐθυμοι δὲ γενόμενοι πάντες καὶ αὐτοὶ προσελάβοντο τροφῆς. |
| 37 |
There were on board two hundred and seventy-six of us in all. | | ἠμεθα δὲ αἱ πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ διακόσιαι ἑβδομήκοντα ἑξ. |
| 38 |
When they had eaten as much as they wanted they lightened the ship by dumping the corn in the sea.
| | κορεσθέντες δὲ τροφῆς ἐκούφιζον τὸ πλοῖον ἐκβαλλόμενοι τὸν σῖτον εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν. |
| 39 |
When day broke they could not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a sandy beach, on which they planned, if possible, to run the ship ashore. | The Shipwreck Ac.27.39-44 | Ὅτε δὲ ἡμέρα ἐγένετο, τὴν γῆν οὐκ ἐπεγίνωσκον, κόλπον δέ τινα κατενόουν ἐχοντα αἰγιαλὸν εἰς ὃν ἐβουλεύοντο εἰ δύναιντο ἐξῶσαι τὸ πλοῖον. |
| 40 |
So they slipped the anchors and let them go; at the same time they loosened the lashings of the steering-paddles, set the foresail to the wind, and let her drive to the beach. | | καὶ τὰς ἀγκύρας περιελόντες εἰων εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν, ἀμα ἀνέντες τὰς ζευκτηρίας τῶν πηδαλίων, καὶ ἐπάραντες τὸν ἀρτέμωνα τῇ πνεούσῃ κατεῖχον εἰς τὸν αἰγιαλόν. |
| 41 |
But they found themselves caught between cross-currents and ran the ship aground, so that the bow stuck fast and remained immovable, while the stem was being pounded to pieces by the breakers. | | περιπεσόντες δὲ εἰς τόπον διθάλασσον ἐπέκειλαν τὴν ναῦν, καὶ ἡ μὲν πρῷρα ἐρείσασα ἐμεινεν ἀσάλευτος, ἡ δὲ πρύμνα ἐλύετο ὑπὸ τῆς βίας . |
| 42 |
The soldiers thought they had better kill the prisoners for fear that any should swim away and escape; | | τῶν δὲ στρατιωτῶν βουλὴ ἐγένετο ἵνα τοὺς δεσμώτας ἀποκτείνωσιν, μή τις ἐκκολυμβήσας διαφύγῃ· |
| 43 |
but the centurion wanted to bring Paul safely through and prevented them from carrying out their plan. He gave orders that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land; | | ὁ δὲ ἑκατοντάρχης βουλόμενος διασῶσαι τὸν Παῦλον ἐκώλυσεν αὐτοὺς τοῦ βουλήματος, ἐκέλευσέν τε τοὺς δυναμένους κολυμβᾶν ἀπορίψαντας πρώτους ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐξιέναι, |
| 44 |
the rest were to follow, some on planks, some on parts of the ship. And thus it was that all came safely to land.
| | καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς οὓς μὲν ἐπὶ σανίσιν οὓς δὲ ἐπί τινων τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου· καὶ οὑτως ἐγένετο πάντας διασωθῆναι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. |
