\subsection{Acts 27}
|
|
\VS{1} So as it was decided [that] we sail away to Italy, they delivered up Paul and some
|
|
other prisoners to [the] centurion by name Julius of the Sebastus cohort.
|
|
\VS{2}
|
|
So having embarked in the boat of Adramuttium, we were brought [about] to be
|
|
sailing to the places of Asia, Aristarchus of Macedonia of Thessalonia being
|
|
with us.
|
|
\VS{3} And on the next [day] we were brought down to Sidon, and Julius
|
|
treating Paul kindly, he allowed him having gone to his friends to be
|
|
attaining refreshment.
|
|
\VS{4} And from there having been brought up we
|
|
sailed under the lee of Cyrus because of the winds being opposite,
|
|
\VS{5} and having sailed through the ocean of Sicily and Pamphilia, we came down to
|
|
Myre of Lycia.
|
|
\VS{6} And there the centurion having found [an] Alexandrian boat
|
|
sailing to Italy he put us aboard it.
|
|
\VS{7} So several days sailing slowly
|
|
and scarcely coming to be by Knidos, the wind not permitting us further, we
|
|
sailed under the lee of Crete beneath Salmonene,
|
|
\VS{8} and scarcely
|
|
coasting along it, we came to [a] certain place being called Kalos harbor, to
|
|
which [a] city, Lasaia, was near.
|
|
\VS{9} So several days having elapsed and the
|
|
voyage of the ship already being dangerous because of the Fast\footnote{i.e.
|
|
the Day of Atonement} already having passed, Paul recommended,
|
|
\VS{10} saying to them: Men, I behold that with hardship and much loss not only of
|
|
cargo and of ship but also of our psyche-lives\fnPsyche{} [is] the voyage [about] to be.
|
|
\VS{11} But the
|
|
centurion was persuaded by the steersman and the captain\footnote{or
|
|
shipowner} rather than by the [things] said by Paul.
|
|
\VS{12} So the harbor being
|
|
unfavorable for wintering, those sailing placed intention to be brought from
|
|
there, if perhaps they might be able, having arrived to Phoenicia, to spend
|
|
the winter, [which is a] harbor of Crete, lying by southwest and by northwest.
|
|
\VS{13} So when the south-wind favorably blew, having supposed to have attained
|
|
[their] purpose, having set out they sailed close by Crete.
|
|
\VS{14} But not long
|
|
after, [a] gale wind called Euraquilo threw upon them,
|
|
\VS{15} so the boat
|
|
having been seized and not being able to be facing the wind, having given
|
|
in, we were being carried [by it].
|
|
\VS{16} Now having run under the lee of a
|
|
certain island called Clauda we were barely able to be in control of the
|
|
skiff,
|
|
\VS{17} which having lifted, they used with helps, undergirdling the
|
|
ship; and fearing lest they run aground on Syrtis, having let down the
|
|
kedge, thus were they carried.
|
|
\VS{18} So we being violently tossed on the
|
|
next [day], they were doing jettison,
|
|
\VS{19} And on the third [day] they threw out
|
|
with their own hands the ship's gear.
|
|
\VS{20} So neither sun nor stars
|
|
shining upon the ship for days, and winter having laid upon [us] not [a] little,
|
|
all hope of us being saved left the rest.
|
|
\VS{21} And there having been much
|
|
absence of food, then having stood in their midst Paul said: It was
|
|
necessary, O men, having been obedient to me, not to go up from Crete to
|
|
avoid both this hardship and loss.
|
|
\VS{22} And now I urge you to be being of
|
|
good cheer, for there will be loss of no psyche-life\fnPsyche{} among you, except the ship.
|
|
\VS{23} For there stood to me this night [an] angel of the God whose I am, to
|
|
whom I also minister,
|
|
\VS{27} saying: Be not fearing, Paul. You must stand
|
|
before Caesar, and behold God has granted to you all those sailing with you.
|
|
\VS{25} Therefore be of good cheer, men, for I believe in God that thus it
|
|
will be according to which manner he has spoken to me.
|
|
\VS{26} Now it is
|
|
necessary we be running aground on a certain island.
|
|
\VS{27} Now as fourteen
|
|
nights came to pass, we being carried [about] in Adrian [Sea], in the middle of the
|
|
night the sailors were supposing they were approaching some country.
|
|
\VS{28}
|
|
And having taken soundings they found twenty fathoms, so having gone on [a]
|
|
little and again having taken soundings they found fifteen fathoms.
|
|
\VS{29}
|
|
And fearing lest we run aground upon rocky places, having thrown four
|
|
anchors from the stern they were praying for day to come to pass.
|
|
\VS{30} Now when the sailors were seeking to flee from the ship and having let down
|
|
the skiff to the sea, in pretense that from [the] stern being [about] to let out
|
|
anchors,
|
|
\VS{31} Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: If these do
|
|
not remain in the boat, you are not able to be saved.
|
|
\VS{32} Then the
|
|
soldiers cut off the ropes of the skiff and allowed it to fall.
|
|
\VS{33} Now
|
|
until day was [about] to come to pass, Paul called upon all to receive nourishment
|
|
saying: Fourteen days today having waited without eating have you remained,
|
|
taking nothing.
|
|
\VS{34} Therefore I call upon you to receive nourishment,
|
|
for this is towards your salvation. For [a] hair from the head of none [of you] will
|
|
perish.
|
|
\VS{35} So having said these [things] and having taken bread, he thanked God
|
|
before all, and having broken [it] he began to be eating.
|
|
\VS{36} So all having
|
|
become of good cheer, they themselves also received nourishment.
|
|
\VS{37} So we were in all, in the boat, two hundred seventy six psyche-lives\fnPsyche{}.
|
|
\VS{38} So having
|
|
satiated with nourishment, they were lightening the boat throwing the wheat
|
|
out into the sea.
|
|
\VS{39} So when day came to pass, they did not know the
|
|
land, but they were observing a certain bay having [a] beach, to which they
|
|
were intending, if they might be able, to run the ship aground.
|
|
\VS{40} And
|
|
having removed the anchors, they were let into the sea, at the same time
|
|
having unfastened the ropes of the rudder, and having raised the foresail to
|
|
the wind, they made for the beach.
|
|
\VS{41} So having struck [a] sand-bar they
|
|
ran the ship aground, and the bow, having jammed, remained unmoved, but the
|
|
stern was loosed by the force.
|
|
\VS{42} Now [the] intention of the soldiers came
|
|
to be that they should kill the prisoners, lest any having swum should
|
|
escape.
|
|
\VS{43} But the centurion, intending to save Paul, hindered them of
|
|
[this] intention, and ordered those being able to swim to first go out to the
|
|
land,
|
|
\VS{44} and the rest, some on planks, and some upon certain of [the flotsam] from
|
|
the ship. And thus it came to be [that] all were saved to the land.
