1 A nd 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.

And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,

2 S o, 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.

and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,

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

on the next also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, did permit, having gone on unto friends, to receive care.

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

And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,

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

and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,

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

and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, did put us into it,

7 W hen 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.

and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,

8 P assing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea. Paul’s Warning Ignored

and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city Lasaea.

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

And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past -- Paul was admonishing,

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

saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives -- the voyage is about to be;'

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

but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;

12 A nd 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. In the Tempest

and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, to winter, a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

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

and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

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

and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

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

and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given up, we were borne on,

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

and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,

17 W hen 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.

which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast -- so were borne on.

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

And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding they were making a clearing,

19 O n the third day we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands.

and on the third with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

20 N ow 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.

and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.

21 B ut 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.

And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, `It behoved, indeed, O men -- having hearkened to me -- not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;

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

and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall be no loss of life among you -- but of the ship;

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

for there stood by me this night a messenger of God -- whose I am, and whom I serve --

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

saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing with thee;

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

wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me,

26 H owever, we must run aground on a certain island.”

and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.'

27 N ow 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.

And when the fourteenth night came -- we being borne up and down in the Adria -- toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them;

28 A nd 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.

and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,

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

and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come.

30 A nd 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,

And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as out of the foreship they are about to cast anchors,

31 P aul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”

Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these do not remain in the ship -- ye are not able to be saved;'

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

then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and suffered it to fall off.

33 A nd 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.

And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day, waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing,

34 T herefore 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.”

wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the head fall;'

35 A nd 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.

and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken, he began to eat;

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

and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took food,

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

(and we were -- all the souls in the ship -- two hundred, seventy and six),

38 S o when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea. Shipwrecked on Malta

and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.

39 W hen 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.

And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,

40 A nd 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.

and the anchors having taken up, they were committing to the sea, at the same time -- having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind -- they were making for the shore,

41 B ut 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.

and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast, did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the violence of the waves.

42 A nd the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.

And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape,

43 B ut 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,

but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having cast themselves out first -- to get unto the land,

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

and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe unto the land.
