The Acts of the Apostles

  Chapter 27  

27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,
Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ,

27:2 Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we weighed anchor, commencing to sail by the coast of Asia; Aristarchus, the Macedonian, of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.

27:3 And the next day we came to Sidon. And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.
Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.

27:4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus: because the winds were contrary.
Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.

27:5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ:

27:6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he put us aboard her.
et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.

27:7 And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed near Crete, by Salmone:
Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem:

27:8 And with much difficulty sailing by it, we came to a certain place which is called Good-havens, near to which was the city of Thalassa.
et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa.

27:9 And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,

27:10 Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage begins to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.

27:11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship more than those things which were said by Paul.
Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.

27:12 And 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 Phœnice to winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the south-west and north-west.
Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phœnicen hiemare, portum Cretæ respicientem ad Africum et ad Corum.

27:13 And the south wind blowing gently, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.
Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.

27:14 But not long after there arose against her a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquila.
Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.

27:15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.

27:16 And running under a certain island that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.

27:17 Which 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.
Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.

27:18 And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt:

27:19 And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt.

27:20 And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm pressing, all hopes of our safety were now lost.
Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.

27:21 And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened to me, and not have put off from Crete, and have saved this harm and loss.
Et cum multa jejunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit: Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere injuriam hanc et jacturam.

27:22 And 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.
Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse: amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.

27:23 For an Angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio,

27:24 Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Cæsar; and behold God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
dicens: Ne timeas, Paule: Cæsari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum.

27:25 Wherefore, ye men, be of good cheer: for I believe God that it shall so be as it hath been told me.
Propter quod bono animo estote, viri: credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.

27:26 But we must come into a certain island.
In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire.

27:27 Now after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in the Adria about midnight, the ship-men deemed that they discovered some country.
Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.

27:28 And they sounded, and found twenty fathoms: and going on a little farther, they found fifteen fathoms.
Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.

27:29 Then, fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri.

27:30 But as the ship-men sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under pretence as though they would have cast anchors out of the fore-ship,
Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,

27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.

27:32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.

27:33 And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take food, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you expecting, and remain fasting, taking nothing.
Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.

27:34 Wherefore, I pray you, to take some food for your health's sake: for there shall not a hair of the head of any of you perish.
Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.

27:35 And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.

27:36 Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took food.
Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.

27:37 And we were in all, in the ship, two hundred and seventy-six souls.
Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.

27:38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare.

27:39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek having a shore, into which they thought, if they could, to thrust the ship.
Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem.

27:40 And when they had weighed the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing also the rudderbands; and hoisting up the main-sail to the wind, they made towards the shore.
Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.

27:41 And when we had fallen into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground: and the fore-part indeed sticking fast, remained immoveable: but the hinder-part was broken with the violence of the sea.
Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.

27:42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret.

27:43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done: and he commanded them who could swim, to cast themselves first out, and save themselves, and get to land.
Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: jussitque eos qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:

27:44 And the rest, some they carried on planks, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
