1 A nd when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.

MAS como fué determinado que habíamos de navegar para Italia, entregaron á Pablo y algunos otros presos á un centurión, llamado Julio, de la compañía Augusta.

2 A nd embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

Así que, embarcándonos en una nave Adrumentina, partimos, estando con nosotros Aristarco, Macedonio de Tesalónica, para navegar junto á los lugares de Asia.

3 A nd the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.

Y otro día llegamos á Sidón; y Julio, tratando á Pablo con humanidad, permitióle que fuese á los amigos, para ser de ellos asistido.

4 A nd putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

Y haciéndonos á la vela desde allí, navegamos bajo de Cipro, porque los vientos eran contrarios.

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

Y habiendo pasado la mar de Cilicia y Pamphylia, arribamos á Mira, ciudad de Licia.

6 A nd there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.

Y hallando allí el centurión una nave Alejandrina que navegaba á Italia, nos puso en ella.

7 A nd when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;

Y navegando muchos días despacio, y habiendo apenas llegado delante de Gnido, no dejándonos el viento, navegamos bajo de Creta, junto á Salmón.

8 a nd with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

Y costeándola difícilmente, llegamos á un lugar que llaman Buenos Puertos, cerca del cual estaba la ciudad de Lasea.

9 A nd when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

Y pasado mucho tiempo, y siendo ya peligrosa la navegación, porque ya era pasado el ayuno, Pablo amonestaba,

10 a nd said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

Diciéndoles: Varones, veo que con trabajo y mucho daño, no sólo de la cargazón y de la nave, mas aun de nuestras personas, habrá de ser la navegación.

11 B ut the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

Mas el centurión creía más al piloto y al patrón de la nave, que á lo que Pablo decía.

12 A nd because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking northeast and south-east.

Y no habiendo puerto cómodo para invernar, muchos acordaron pasar aún de allí, por si pudiesen arribar á Fenice é invernar allí, que es un puerto de Creta que mira al Nordeste y Sudeste.

13 A nd when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

Y soplando el austro, pareciéndoles que ya tenían lo que deseaban, alzando velas, iban cerca de la costa de Creta.

14 B ut after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:

Mas no mucho después dió en ella un viento repentino, que se llama Euroclidón.

15 a nd when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.

Y siendo arrebatada la nave, y no pudiendo resistir contra el viento, la dejamos, y erámos llevados.

16 A nd running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:

Y habiendo corrido á sotavento de una pequeña isla que se llama Clauda, apenas pudimos ganar el esquife:

17 a nd when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

El cual tomado, usaban de remedios, ciñendo la nave; y teniendo temor de que diesen en la Sirte, abajadas las velas, eran así llevados.

18 A nd as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the the freight overboard;

Mas siendo atormentados de una vehemente tempestad, al siguiente día alijaron;

19 a nd the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

Y al tercer día nosotros con nuestras manos arrojamos los aparejos de la nave.

20 A nd when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

Y no pareciendo sol ni estrellas por muchos días, y viniendo una tempestad no pequeña, ya era perdida toda la esperanza de nuestra salud.

21 A nd when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

Entonces Pablo, habiendo ya mucho que no comíamos, puesto en pie en medio de ellos, dijo: Fuera de cierto conveniente, oh varones, haberme oído, y no partir de Creta, y evitar este inconveniente y daño.

22 A nd now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

Mas ahora os amonesto que tengáis buen ánimo; porque ninguna pérdida habrá de persona de vosotros, sino solamente de la nave.

23 F or there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,

Porque esta noche ha estado conmigo el ángel del Dios del cual yo soy, y al cual sirvo,

24 s aying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.

Diciendo: Pablo, no temas; es menester que seas presentado delante de César; y he aquí, Dios te ha dado todos los que navegan contigo.

25 W herefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.

Por tanto, oh varones, tened buen ánimo; porque yo confío en Dios que será así como me ha dicho;

26 B ut we must be cast upon a certain island.

Si bien es menester que demos en una isla.

27 B ut when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:

Y venida la décimacuarta noche, y siendo llevados por el mar Adriático, los marineros á la media noche sospecharon que estaban cerca de alguna tierra;

28 a nd they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.

Y echando la sonda, hallaron veinte brazas, y pasando un poco más adelante, volviendo á echar la sonda, hallaron quince brazas.

29 A nd fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.

Y habiendo temor de dar en lugares escabrosos, echando cuatro anclas de la popa, deseaban que se hiciese de día.

30 A nd as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,

Entonces procurando los marineros huir de la nave, echado que hubieron el esquife á la mar, aparentando como que querían largar las anclas de proa,

31 P aul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

Pablo dijo al centurión y á los soldados: Si éstos no quedan en la nave, vosotros no podéis salvaros.

32 T hen the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

Entonces los soldados cortaron los cabos del esquife, y dejáronlo perder.

33 A nd while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

Y como comenzó á ser de día, Pablo exhortaba á todos que comiesen, diciendo: Este es el décimocuarto día que esperáis y permanecéis ayunos, no comiendo nada.

34 W herefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.

Por tanto, os ruego que comáis por vuestra salud: que ni aun un cabello de la cabeza de ninguno de vosotros perecerá.

35 A nd when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.

Y habiendo dicho esto, tomando el pan, hizo gracias á Dios en presencia de todos, y partiendo, comenzó á comer.

36 T hen were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.

Entonces todos teniendo ya mejor ánimo, comieron ellos también.

37 A nd we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

Y éramos todas las personas en la nave doscientas setenta y seis.

38 A nd when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

Y satisfechos de comida, aliviaban la nave, echando el grano á la mar.

39 A nd when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.

Y como se hizo de día, no conocían la tierra; mas veían un golfo que tenía orilla, al cual acordaron echar, si pudiesen, la nave.

40 A nd casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

Cortando pues las anclas, las dejaron en la mar, largando también las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al viento, íbanse á la orilla.

41 B ut lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

Mas dando en un lugar de dos aguas, hicieron encallar la nave; y la proa, hincada, estaba sin moverse, y la popa se abría con la fuerza de la mar.

42 A nd the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

Entonces el acuerdo de los soldados era que matasen los presos, porque ninguno se fugase nadando.

43 B ut the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;

Mas el centurión, queriendo salvar á Pablo, estorbó este acuerdo, y mandó que los que pudiesen nadar, se echasen los primeros, y saliesen á tierra;

44 a nd the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.

Y los demás, parte en tablas, parte en cosas de la nave. Y así aconteció que todos se salvaron saliendo á tierra.
