Acts 27

1And when it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment.

ως δε εκριθη του αποπλειν ημας εις την ιταλιαν, παρεδιδουν τον τε παυλον και τινας ετερους δεσμωτας εκατονταρχη ονοματι ιουλιω σπειρης σεβαστης.

2So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.

επιβαντες δε πλοιω αδραμυττηνω μελλοντες πλειν τους κατα την ασιαν τοπους ανηχθημεν, οντος συν ημιν αρισταρχου μακεδονος θεσσαλονικεως,

3And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends and receive care.

τη τε ετερα κατηχθημεν εις σιδωνα· φιλανθρωπως τε ο ιουλιος τω παυλω χρησαμενος επετρεψεν προς [τους] φιλους πορευθεντα επιμελειας τυχειν.

4When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

κακειθεν αναχθεντες υπεπλευσαμεν την κυπρον δια το τους ανεμους ειναι εναντιους,

5And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

το τε πελαγος το κατα την κιλικιαν και παμφυλιαν διαπλευσαντες κατηλθομεν εις μυρα της λυκιας.

6There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.

κακει ευρων ο εκατονταρχης πλοιον αλεξανδρινον πλεον εις την ιταλιαν ενεβιβασεν ημας εις αυτο.

7When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of Crete off Salmone.

εν ικαναις δε ημεραις βραδυπλοουντες και μολις γενομενοι κατα την κνιδον, μη προσεωντος ημας του ανεμου, υπεπλευσαμεν την κρητην κατα σαλμωνην,

8Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

μολις τε παραλεγομενοι αυτην ηλθομεν εις τοπον τινα καλουμενον καλους λιμενας, ω εγγυς ην πολις λασαια.

9Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,

ικανου δε χρονου διαγενομενου και οντος ηδη επισφαλους του πλοος δια το και την νηστειαν ηδη παρεληλυθεναι, παρηνει ο παυλος

10saying, 'Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.'

λεγων αυτοις· ανδρες, θεωρω οτι μετα υβρεως και πολλης ζημιας ου μονον του φορτου και του πλοιου, αλλα και των ψυχων ημων μελλειν εσεσθαι τον πλουν.

11Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul.

ο δε εκατονταρχης τω κυβερνητη και τω ναυκληρω επειθετο μαλλον η τοις υπο του παυλου λεγομενοις.

12And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

ανευθετου δε του λιμενος υπαρχοντος προς παραχειμασιαν οι πλειους εθεντο βουλην αναχθηναι κακειθεν, ει πως δυναιντο καταντησαντες εις φοινικα παραχειμασαι, λιμενα της κρητης βλεποντα κατα λιβα και κατα χωρον.

13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.

υποπνευσαντος δε νοτου δοξαντες της προθεσεως κεκρατηκεναι, αραντες ασσον παρελεγοντο την κρητην.

14But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.

μετ ου πολυ δε εβαλεν κατ αυτης ανεμος τυφωνικος ο καλουμενος ευροκλυδων.

15So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.

συναρπασθεντος δε του πλοιου και μη δυναμενου αντοφθαλμειν τω ανεμω επιδοντες εφερομεθα.

16And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.

νησιον δε τι υποδραμοντες καλουμενον κλαυδην μολις ισχυσαμεν περικρατεις γενεσθαι της σκαφης,

17When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.

ην αραντες βοηθειαις εχρωντο υποζωννυντες το πλοιον· φοβουμενοι τε μη εις την συρτιν εκπεσωσιν, χαλασαντες το σκευος ουτως εφεροντο.

18And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.

σφοδρως δε χειμαζομενων ημων τη εξης εκβολην εποιουντο,

19On the third day we threw the ship's tackle overboard with our own hands.

και τη τριτη αυτοχειρες την σκευην του πλοιου ερριψαμεν.

20Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.

μητε δε ηλιου μητε αστρων επιφαινοντων επι πλειονας ημερας, χειμωνος τε ουκ ολιγου επικειμενου, λοιπον περιηρειτο πασα ελπις του σωζεσθαι ημας.

21But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, 'Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss.

πολλης δε ασιτιας υπαρχουσης τοτε σταθεις ο παυλος εν μεσω αυτων ειπεν· εδει μεν, ω ανδρες, πειθαρχησαντας μοι μη αναγεσθαι απο της κρητης κερδησαι τε την υβριν ταυτην και την ζημιαν.

22And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

και τα νυν παραινω υμας ευθυμειν· αποβολη γαρ ψυχης ουδεμια εσται εξ υμων πλην του πλοιου.

23For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,

παρεστη γαρ μοι τη νυκτι ταυτη αγγελος του θεου ου ειμι, ω και λατρευω,

24saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.'

λεγων· μη φοβου, παυλε· καισαρι σε δει παραστηναι· και ιδου κεχαρισται σοι ο θεος παντας τους πλεοντας μετα σου.

25Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.

διο ευθυμειτε, ανδρες· πιστευω γαρ τω θεω οτι ουτως εσται καθ ον τροπον λελαληται μοι.

26However, we must run aground on a certain island.'

εις νησον δε τινα δει ημας εκπεσειν.

27Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land.

ως δε τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατη νυξ εγενετο διαφερομενων ημων εν τω αδρια, κατα μεσον της νυκτος υπενοουν οι ναυται προσαγειν τινα αυτοις χωραν.

28And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms.

και βολισαντες ευρον οργυιας εικοσι, βραχυ δε διαστησαντες και παλιν βολισαντες ευρον οργυιας δεκαπεντε·

29Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and prayed for day to come.

φοβουμενοι τε μηπως εις τραχεις τοπους εκπεσωμεν, εκ πρυμνης ριψαντες αγκυρας τεσσαρας ηυχοντο ημεραν γενεσθαι.

30And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow,

των δε ναυτων ζητουντων φυγειν εκ του πλοιου και χαλασαντων την σκαφην εις την θαλασσαν, προφασει ως εκ πρωρας μελλοντων αγκυρας εκτεινειν,

31Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, 'Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.'

ειπεν ο παυλος τω εκατονταρχη και τοις στρατιωταις· εαν μη ουτοι μεινωσιν εν τω πλοιω, υμεις σωθηναι ου δυνασθε.

32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.

τοτε οι στρατιωται απεκοψαν τα σχοινια της σκαφης και ειασαν αυτην εκπεσειν.

33And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, 'Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing.

αχρι δε ου εμελλεν ημερα γινεσθαι, παρεκαλει ο παυλος απαντας μεταλαβειν τροφης λεγων· τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατην σημερον ημεραν προσδοκωντες ασιτοι διατελειτε, μηδεν προσλαβομενοι.

34Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.'

διο παρακαλω υμας μεταλαβειν τροφης· τουτο γαρ προς της υμετερας σωτηριας υπαρχει· ουδενος γαρ υμων θριξ εκ της κεφαλης πεσειται.

35And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.

ειπων δε ταυτα και λαβων αρτον ευχαριστησεν τω θεω ενωπιον παντων, και κλασας ηρξατο εσθιειν.

36Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves.

ευθυμοι δε γενομενοι παντες και αυτοι προσελαβοντο τροφης·

37And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six persons on the ship.

ημεν δε εν τω πλοιω αι πασαι ψυχαι διακοσιαι εβδομηκοντα εξ.

38So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.

κορεσθεντες δε τροφης εκουφιζον το πλοιον εκβαλλομενοι τον σιτον εις την θαλασσαν.

39When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible.

οτε δε ημερα εγενετο, την γην ουκ επεγινωσκον, κολπον δε τινα κατενοουν εχοντα αιγιαλον, εις ον εβουλευσαντο, ει δυναιντο, εξωσαι το πλοιον.

40And they let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore.

και τας αγκυρας περιελοντες ειων εις την θαλασσαν αμα ανεντες τας ζευκτηριας των πηδαλιων, και επαραντες τον αρτεμωνα τη πνεουση κατειχον εις τον αιγιαλον.

41But striking a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.

περιπεσοντες δε εις τοπον διθαλασσον επωκειλαν την ναυν, και η μεν πρωρα ερεισασα εμεινεν ασαλευτος, η δε πρυμνα ελυετο υπο της βιας των κυματων.

42And the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.

των δε στρατιωτων βουλη εγενετο ινα τους δεσμωτας αποκτεινωσιν, μη τις εκκολυμβησας διαφυγοι.

43But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,

ο δε εκατονταρχης βουλομενος διασωσαι τον παυλον εκωλυσεν αυτους του βουληματος, εκελευσεν τε τους δυναμενους κολυμβαν απορριψαντας πρωτους επι την γην εξιεναι,

44and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was that they all escaped safely to land.

και τους λοιπους ους μεν επι σανισιν, ους δε επι τινων των απο του πλοιου. και ουτως εγενετο παντας διασωθηναι επι την γην.
