| [1]And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus, |
[1]Now when it was concluded, that we should sail into Italy, they delivered both Paul, and certain other prisoners unto a Centurion named Julius, of the band of Augustus. |
| [2]and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, |
[2]And we entered into a ship of Adramyttium purposing to sail by the coasts of Asia, and launched forth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia, a Thessalonian, with us. |
| [3]on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit [him], having gone on unto friends, to receive [their] care. |
[3]And the next day we arrived at Sidon: and Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends, that they might refresh him. |
| [4]And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary, |
[4]And from thence we launched, and sailed hard by Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. |
| [5]and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia, |
[5]Then sailed we over the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a city in Lycia. |
| [6]and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it, |
[6]And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sailing into Italy, and put us therein. |
| [7]and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone, |
[7]And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the wind suffered us not, we sailed hard by Candy, near to Salmone, |
| [8]and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city [of] Lasaea. |
[8]And with much ado sailed beyond it, and came unto a certain place called the Fair Havens, near unto the which was the city Lasea. |
| [9]And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past -- Paul was admonishing, |
[9]So when much time was spent, and sailing was now jeopardous, because also the Fast was now passed, Paul exhorted them, |
| [10]saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives -- the voyage is about to be;' |
[10]And said unto them, Sirs, I see that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship only, but also of our lives. |
| [11]but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul; |
[11]Nevertheless the Centurion believed rather the governor and the master of the ship, than those things which were spoken of Paul. |
| [12]and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, [there] to winter, [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west, |
[12]And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, many took counsel to depart thence, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, there to winter, which is an haven of Candy, and lieth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West. |
| [13]and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete, |
[13]And when the Southern wind blew softly, they supposing to obtain their purpose, loosed nearer, and sailed by Candy. |
| [14]and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon, |
[14]But anon after, there arose by it a stormy wind called Euroclydon. |
| [15]and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were borne on, |
[15]And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the wind, we let her go, and were carried away. |
| [16]and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat, |
[16]And we ran under a little Isle named Clauda, and had much a do to get the boat. |
| [17]which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast -- so were borne on. |
[17]Which they took up and used all help, undergirding the ship, fearing lest they should have fallen into Syrtes, and they let down the vessel, and so were carried. |
| [18]And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing, |
[18]The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship. |
| [19]and on the third [day] with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out, |
[19]And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship. |
| [20]and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved. |
[20]And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay upon us, all hope that we should be saved, was then taken away. |
| [21]And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved [you], indeed, O men -- having hearkened to me -- not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage; |
[21]But after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have loosed from Candy: so should ye have gained this hurt and loss. |
| [22]and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you -- but of the ship; |
[22]But now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, save of the ship only. |
| [23]for there stood by me this night a messenger of God -- whose I am, and whom I serve -- |
[23]For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, |
| [24]saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee; |
[24]Saying, Fear not, Paul: for thou must be brought before Caesar: and lo, God hath given unto thee all that sail with thee. |
| [25]wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me, |
[25]Wherefore, sirs, be of good courage: for I believe God, that it shall be so as it hath been told me. |
| [26]and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.' |
[26]Howbeit, we must be cast into a certain Island. |
| [27]And when the fourteenth night came -- we being borne up and down in the Adria -- toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them; |
[27]And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were carried to and fro in the Adriatical sea about midnight, the shipmen deemed that some country approached unto them, |
| [28]and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms, |
[28]And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms. |
| [29]and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come. |
[29]Then fearing lest they should have fallen into some rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished that the day were come. |
| [30]And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as [if] out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors, |
[30]Now as the mariners were about to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea under a color as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, |
| [31]Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship -- ye are not able to be saved;' |
[31]Paul said unto the Centurion and the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be safe. |
| [32]then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off. |
[32]Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away. |
| [33]And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing, |
[33]And when it began to be day, Paul exhorted them all to take meat, saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried, and continued fasting, receiving nothing. |
| [34]wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;' |
[34]Wherefore I exhort you to take meat: for this is for your safeguard: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. |
| [35]and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat; |
[35]And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God, in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eat. |
| [36]and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food, |
[36]Then were they all of good courage, and they also took meat. |
| [37](and we were -- all the souls in the ship -- two hundred, seventy and six), |
[37]Now we were in the ship in all two hundred, three score and sixteen souls. |
| [38]and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea. |
[38]And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. |
| [39]And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship, |
[39]And when it was day, they knew not the country, but they spied a certain creek with a bank, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) to thrust in the ship. |
| [40]and the anchors having taken up, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time -- having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind -- they were making for the shore, |
[40]So when they had taken up the anchors, they committed the ship unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoisted up the main sail to the wind, and drew to the shore. |
| [41]and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the violence of the waves. |
[41]And when they fell into a place, where two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stuck fast, and could not be moved, but the hinderpart was broken with the violence of the waves. |
| [42]And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape, |
[42]Then the soldiers counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them, when he had swum out, should flee away. |
| [43]but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first -- to get unto the land, |
[43]But the Centurion willing to save Paul, stayed them from this counsel, and commanded that they that could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and go out to land: |
| [44]and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land. |
[44]And the other, some on boards, and some on certain pieces of the ship: and so it came to pass, that they came all safe to land. |
