1 W hen 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 fue determinado que habíamos de navegar para Italia, entregaron a Pablo y algunos otros presos a un centurión, llamado Julio, de la compañía Augusta.

2 E mbarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

Así que, embarcándonos en la nave Adrumentina, alzamos velas, estando con nosotros Aristarco, macedonio de Tesalónica, comenzando a navegar junto a los lugares de Asia.

3 T he next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.

Al otro día llegamos a Sidón; y Julio, tratando a Pablo humanamente, le permitió que fuera a los amigos, para ser de ellos asistido.

4 P utting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

Y alzando velas desde allí, navegamos bajo de Chipre, porque los vientos eran contrarios.

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

Y habiendo pasado el mar de Cilicia y Panfilia, arribamos a Mira, ciudad de Licia.

6 T here the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.

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

7 W hen we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.

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

8 W ith difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

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

9 W hen much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had 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 to them, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”

diciendo: 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.

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

12 B ecause the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.

¶ Y no habiendo puerto cómodo para invernar, muchos acordaron pasar aun de allí, por si pudieran arribar a Fenice e invernar allí, que es un puerto de Creta, al Africa y al poniente.

13 W hen the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

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

14 B ut before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.

Pero no mucho después dio en ella un viento repentino, que se llama Euroaquilo.

15 W hen the ship was caught, and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.

Y siendo arrebatada de él la nave, que no podía resistir contra el viento, dejada la nave a los vientos, éramos llevados.

16 R unning under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

Y llevados de la corriente hacia una pequeña isla que se llama Clauda, apenas pudimos ganar el esquife;

17 A fter they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.

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

18 A s we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

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

19 O n the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

y al tercer día nosotros, con nuestras manos, arrojamos las obras muertas de la nave.

20 W hen neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

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

21 W hen they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, “Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.

¶ Entonces Pablo, como hacía 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 N ow I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

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

23 F or there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

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

24 s aying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

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

25 T herefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to 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 run aground on a certain island.”

con todo, es necesario que demos en una isla.

27 B ut when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.

Y venida la decimacuarta noche, y siendo llevados en el mar Adriático, los marineros a la medianoche sospecharon que estaban cerca de alguna tierra;

28 T hey took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.

y echando la sonda, hallaron veinte pasos, y pasando un poco más adelante, volviendo a echar la sonda, hallaron quince pasos.

29 F earing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.

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

30 A s the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from the bow,

Entonces procurando los marineros huir de la nave, y echando el esquife al mar, aparentando como que querían largar las anclas de proa,

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

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

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

Entonces los soldados cortaron los cabos del esquife, y lo dejaron caer.

33 W hile the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.

Cuando comenzó a ser de día, Pablo exhortaba a todos que comieran, diciendo: Este es el decimocuarto día que esperáis y permanecéis en ayunas, no comiendo nada.

34 T herefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”

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

35 W hen he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.

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

36 T hen they all cheered up, and they also took food.

Entonces todos teniendo ya mejor ánimo, comieron ellos también.

37 I n all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.

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

38 W hen 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 al mar.

39 W hen it was day, they didn’t recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.

Cuando se hizo de día, no conocían la tierra; pero veían un golfo que tenía orilla, al cual acordaron echar, si pudieran, la nave.

40 C asting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.

Alzando las anclas, se dejaron al mar, largando también las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al soplo del aire, íbanse a la orilla.

41 B ut coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves.

Pero 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 del mar.

42 T he soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

Entonces el acuerdo de los soldados era que mataran los presos, para que ninguno se fugara nadando.

43 B ut the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the land;

Mas el centurión, queriendo salvar a Pablo, estorbó este acuerdo, y mandó que los que pudieran nadar, se echaran los primeros, y salieran a tierra;

44 a nd the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.

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