Act 27:1Ut autem jūdicātum est nāvigāre eum in Ītaliam, et trādī Paulum cum reliquīs custōdiīs centuriōnī nōmine Jūliō cohortis Augustae, ascendentēs nāvem Adrumetinam, incipientēs nāvigāre circā Asiae loca, sustulimus, persevērante nōbīscum Aristarchō Macedone Thessalonīcēnsī.And when it was decided that he should sail to Italy, and that Paul with the rest of the prisoners should be handed over to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan cohort, going on board a ship of Adramyttium, beginning to sail along the places of Asia, we put out to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us. Act 27:3Sequentī autem diē dēvēnimus Sīdōnem.And on the following day we came down to Sidon. Act 27:3Hūmānē autem trāctāns Jūlius Paulum, permīsit ad amīcōs īre, et cūram suī agere.And Julius, treating Paul humanely, permitted him to go to his friends, and to look after himself. Act 27:4Et inde cum sustulissēmus, subnāvigāvimus Cyprum, proptereā quod essent ventī contrāriī.And when we had put out from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. Act 27:5Et pelagus Ciliciae et Pamphȳliae nāvigantēs, vēnimus Lystram, quae est Lyciae: et ibi inveniēns centuriō nāvem Alexandrīnam nāvigantem in Ītaliam, trānsposuit nōs in eam.And sailing the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia: and there the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, transferred us into it.
Act 27:7Et cum multīs diēbus tardē nāvigārēmus, et vix dēvēnissēmus contrā Gnidum, prohibente nōs ventō, adnāvigāvimus Crētae jūxtā Salmōnem: et vix jūxtā nāvigantēs, vēnimus in locum quemdam quī vocātur Boniportus, cui jūxtā erat cīvitās Thalassa.And when for many days we were sailing slowly, and had barely come opposite Cnidus, the wind hindering us, we sailed to Crete beside Salmone: and barely sailing along it, we came to a certain place which is called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Thalassa. Act 27:9Multō autem tempore perāctō, et cum jam nōn esset tūta nāvigātiō eō quod et jējūnium jam praeteriisset, cōnsōlābātur eōs Paulus, dīcēns eīs: Virī, videō quoniam cum injūriā et multō damnō nōn sōlum oneris, et nāvis, sed etiam animārum nostrārum incipit esse nāvigātiō.And much time having been spent, and since sailing was now not safe because the fast too had now gone by, Paul was comforting them, saying to them: "Men, I see that with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo, and the ship, but also of our lives, the voyage is beginning to be." Act 27:11Centuriō autem gubernātōrī et nauclērō magis crēdēbat, quam hīs quae ā Paulō dīcēbantur.But the centurion believed the helmsman and the shipmaster more than the things which were being said by Paul.
Act 27:12Et cum aptus portus nōn esset ad hiemandum, plūrimī statuērunt cōnsilium nāvigāre inde, sī quōmodo possent, dēvenientēs Phoenīcēn hiemāre, portum Crētae respicientem ad Āfricum et ad Cōrum.And since the harbour was not fit for wintering, the greater number decided on the plan to sail from there, if somehow they could, reaching Phoenix to winter there, a harbour of Crete looking towards the south-west and the north-west. Act 27:13Aspīrante autem austrō, aestimantēs prōpositum sē tenēre, cum sustulissent dē Asson, legēbant Crētam.And when the south wind blew gently, thinking that they held their purpose, when they had put out from Assos, they were coasting along Crete. Act 27:14Nōn post multum autem mīsit sē contrā ipsam ventus typhōnicus, quī vocātur Euroaquilō.But not long after there struck against it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroaquilo. Act 27:15Cumque arrepta esset nāvis, et nōn posset cōnārī in ventum, datā nāve flātibus, ferēbāmur.And when the ship had been caught, and could not make head against the wind, the ship having been given up to the blasts, we were being driven along. Act 27:16In īnsulam autem quamdam dēcurrentēs, quae vocātur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinēre scapham.And running under a certain island, which is called Cauda, we were barely able to secure the boat.
Act 27:17Quā sublātā, adjūtōriīs ūtēbantur, accingentēs nāvem, timentēs nē in Syrtim inciderent, summissō vāse sīc ferēbantur.And this having been hoisted up, they were using helps, girding the ship, fearing that they would fall into the Syrtis, and, the gear having been lowered, so they were being driven. Act 27:18Validā autem nōbīs tempestāte jactātīs, sequentī diē jactum fēcērunt: et tertiā diē suīs manibus armāmenta nāvis prōjēcērunt.And as we were being violently tossed by the storm, on the following day they made a jettison: and on the third day with their own hands they threw out the tackle of the ship. Act 27:20Neque autem sōle, neque sīderibus appārentibus per plūrēs diēs, et tempestāte nōn exiguā imminente, jam ablāta erat spēs omnis salūtis nostrae.And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm pressing on us, all hope of our safety was now taken away. Act 27:21Et cum multa jējūnātiō fuisset, tunc stāns Paulus in mediō eōrum, dīxit: Oportēbat quidem, ō virī, audītō mē, nōn tollere ā Crētā, lucrīque facere injūriam hanc et jactūram.And when there had been much fasting, then Paul, standing in their midst, said: "You ought indeed, O men, to have listened to me, and not to have put out from Crete, and to have gained this injury and loss.
Act 27:22Et nunc suādeō vōbīs bonō animō esse: āmissiō enim nūllīus animae erit ex vōbīs, praeterquam nāvis.And now I urge you to be of good heart: for there will be loss of no life among you, but only of the ship. Act 27:23Astitit enim mihi hāc nocte angelus Deī, cujus sum ego, et cui dēserviō, dīcēns: Nē timeās, Paule: Caesarī tē oportet assistere: et ecce dōnāvit tibi Deus omnēs quī nāvigant tēcum.For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying: 'Do not be afraid, Paul: you must stand before Caesar: and look, God has granted you all who sail with you.' Act 27:25Propter quod bonō animō estōte, virī: crēdō enim Deō quia sīc erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.For which reason be of good heart, men: for I believe God that it will be so, just as it has been told me. Act 27:26In īnsulam autem quamdam oportet nōs dēvenīre.But we must come upon a certain island." Act 27:27Sed posteāquam quārtadecima nox supervēnit, nāvigantibus nōbīs in Adriā circā mediam noctem, suspicābantur nautae appārēre sibi aliquam regiōnem.But after the fourteenth night had come, as we were sailing in the Adriatic about midnight, the sailors suspected that some land was appearing to them.
Act 27:28Quī et summittentēs bolidem, invēnērunt passūs vīgintī: et pusillum inde sēparātī, invēnērunt passūs quīndecim.And letting down the sounding-lead, they found twenty fathoms: and a little separated from there, they found fifteen fathoms. Act 27:29Timentēs autem nē in aspera loca inciderēmus, dē puppī mittentēs anchorās quatuor, optābant diem fierī.And fearing that we might fall upon rough places, letting down four anchors from the stern, they were praying for day to come. Act 27:30Nautīs vērō quaerentibus fugere dē nāvī, cum mīsissent scapham in mare, sub obtentū quasi inciperent ā prōrā anchorās extendere, dīxit Paulus centuriōnī et mīlitibus: Nisi hī in nāvī mānserint, vōs salvī fierī nōn potestis.But as the sailors were seeking to flee from the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under the pretence that they were beginning to stretch out anchors from the prow, Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers: "Unless these men remain in the ship, you cannot be saved." Act 27:32Tunc abscīdērunt mīlitēs fūnēs scaphae, et passī sunt eam excidere.Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away.
Act 27:33Et cum lūx inciperet fierī, rogābat Paulus omnēs sūmere cibum, dīcēns: Quārtādecimā diē hodiē exspectantēs jējūnī permanētis, nihil accipientēs.And when light was beginning to come, Paul was asking all to take food, saying: "Today is the fourteenth day that you remain waiting and fasting, taking nothing. Act 27:34Propter quod rogō vōs accipere cibum prō salūte vestrā: quia nūllīus vestrum capillus dē capite perībit.For which reason I ask you to take food for your safety: for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish." Act 27:35Et cum haec dīxisset, sūmēns pānem, grātiās ēgit Deō in cōnspectū omnium: et cum frēgisset, coepit mandūcāre.And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. Act 27:36Animaequiōrēs autem factī omnēs, et ipsī sūmpsērunt cibum.And all, having become of better heart, themselves too took food. Act 27:37Erāmus vērō ūniversae animae in nāvī ducentae septuāgintā sex.Now we were in all, the souls in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six. Act 27:38Et satiātī cibō alleviābant nāvem, jactantēs trīticum in mare.And having been filled with food they were lightening the ship, throwing the wheat into the sea.
Act 27:39Cum autem diēs factus esset, terram nōn agnōscēbant: sinum vērō quemdam cōnsīderābant habentem littus, in quem cōgitābant sī possent ējicere nāvem.And when day had come, they did not recognize the land: but they were noticing a certain bay having a beach, onto which they were thinking, if they could, to run the ship. Act 27:40Et cum anchorās sustulissent, committēbant sē marī, simul laxantēs jūnctūrās gubernāculōrum: et levātō artemone secundum aurae flātum, tendēbant ad littus.And when they had taken up the anchors, they were committing themselves to the sea, at the same time loosening the bands of the rudders: and the foresail having been raised according to the blowing of the breeze, they were making for the beach. Act 27:41Et cum incidissēmus in locum dithalassum, impēgērunt nāvem: et prōra quidem fīxa manēbat immōbilis, puppis vērō solvēbātur ā vī maris.And when we had fallen into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground: and the prow indeed, stuck fast, remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the force of the sea.
Act 27:42Mīlitum autem cōnsilium fuit ut custōdiās occīderent, nē quis cum ēnatāsset, effugeret.And the soldiers' plan was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone, having swum out, should escape. Act 27:43Centuriō autem volēns servāre Paulum, prohibuit fierī: jussitque eōs quī possent natāre, ēmittere sē prīmōs, et ēvādere, et ad terram exīre: et cēterōs, aliōs in tabulīs ferēbant, quōsdam super ea quae dē nāvī erant.But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, prevented it from being done: and he ordered those who could swim to throw themselves out first, and to get away, and to go out onto land: and the rest, some they were carrying on planks, some upon things which were from the ship. Act 27:44Et sīc factum est, ut omnēs animae ēvāderent ad terram.And so it happened, that all the souls escaped to land.
