27:1

Ως δε εκριθη του αποπλειν ημας εις την Ιταλιαν παρεδιδουν τον τε Παυλον και τινας ετερους δεσμωτας εκατονταρχη ονοματι Ιουλιω σπειρης Σεβαστης

And 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.

27:2

επιβαντες δε πλοιω Αδραμυττηνω μελλοντι πλειν εις τους κατα την Ασιαν τοπους ανηχθημεν οντος συν ημιν Αρισταρχου Μακεδονος Θεσσαλονικεως

And 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.

27:3

Τη τε ετερα κατηχθημεν εις Σιδωνα φιλανθρωπως τε ο Ιουλιος τω Παυλω χρησαμενος επετρεψεν προς τους φιλους πορευθεντι επιμελειας τυχειν

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

27:4

κακειθεν αναχθεντες υπεπλευσαμεν την Κυπρον δια το τους ανεμους ειναι εναντιους

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

27:5

το τε πελαγος το κατα την Κιλικιαν και Παμφυλιαν διαπλευσαντες κατηλθομεν εις Μυρα της Λυκιας

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

27:6

Κακει ευρων ο εκατονταρχης πλοιον Αλεξανδρινον πλεον εις την Ιταλιαν ενεβιβασεν ημας εις αυτο

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

27:7

Εν ικαναις δε ημεραις βραδυπλοουντες και μολις γενομενοι κατα την Κνιδον μη προσεωντος ημας του ανεμου υπεπλευσαμεν την Κρητην κατα Σαλμωνην

And 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;

27:8

μολις τε παραλεγομενοι αυτην ηλθομεν εις τοπον τινα καλουμενον Καλους Λιμενας ω εγγυς πολις ην Λασαια

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

27:9

Ικανου δε χρονου διαγενομενου και οντος ηδη επισφαλους του πλοος δια το και την Νηστειαν ηδη παρεληλυθεναι παρηνει ο Παυλος

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

27:10

λεγων αυτοις Ανδρες θεωρω οτι μετα υβρεως και πολλης ζημιας ου μονον του φορτιου και του πλοιου αλλα και των ψυχων ημων μελλειν εσεσθαι τον πλουν

and 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.

27:11

Ο δε εκατονταρχης τω κυβερνητη και τω ναυκληρω μαλλον επειθετο η τοις υπο Παυλου λεγομενοις

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

27:12

ανευθετου δε του λιμενος υπαρχοντος προς παραχειμασιαν οι πλειονες εθεντο βουλην αναχθηναι εκειθεν ει πως δυναιντο καταντησαντες εις Φοινικα παραχειμασαι λιμενα της Κρητης βλεποντα κατα λιβα και κατα χωρον

And 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 north-east and south-east.

27:13

Υποπνευσαντος δε νοτου δοξαντες της προθεσεως κεκρατηκεναι αραντες ασσον παρελεγοντο την Κρητην

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

27:14

μετ ου πολυ δε εβαλεν κατ αυτης ανεμος τυφωνικος ο καλουμενος Ευρακυλων

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

27:15

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

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

27:16

Νησιον δε τι υποδραμοντες καλουμενον Καυδα ισχυσαμεν μολις περικρατεις γενεσθαι της σκαφης

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

27:17

ην αραντες βοηθειαις εχρωντο υποζωννυντες το πλοιον φοβουμενοι τε μη εις την Συρτιν εκπεσωσιν χαλασαντες το σκευος ουτως εφεροντο

and 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.

27:18

Σφοδρως δε χειμαζομενων ημων τη εξης εκβολην εποιουντο

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

27:19

και τη τριτη αυτοχειρες την σκευην του πλοιου ερριψαν

and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

27:20

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

And 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.

27:21

Πολλης τε 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

And 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.

27:22

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

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

¹

27:23

παρεστη γαρ μοι ταυτη τη νυκτι του Θεου ου ειμι εγω ω και λατρευω αγγελος

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

27:24

λεγων Μη φοβου Παυλε Καισαρι σε δει παραστηναι και ιδου κεχαρισται σοι ο Θεος παντας τους πλεοντας μετα σου

saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Cæsar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.

27:25

Διο ευθυμειτε ανδρες πιστευω γαρ τω Θεω οτι ουτως εσται καθ ον τροπον λελαληται μοι

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

27:26

εις νησον δε τινα δει ημας εκπεσειν

But we must be cast upon a certain island.

27:27

Ως δε τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατη νυξ εγενετο διαφερομενων ημων εν τω Αδρια κατα μεσον της νυκτος υπενοουν οι ναυται προσαγειν τινα αυτοις χωραν

But 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:

27:28

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

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

27:29

φοβουμενοι τε μη που κατα τραχεις τοπους εκπεσωμεν εκ πρυμνης ριψαντες αγκυρας τεσσαρας ηυχοντο ημεραν γενεσθαι

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

27:30

Των δε ναυτων ζητουντων φυγειν εκ του πλοιου και χαλασαντων την σκαφην εις την θαλασσαν προφασει ως εκ πρωρης αγκυρας μελλοντων εκτεινειν

And 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,

27:31

ειπεν ο Παυλος τω εκατονταρχη και τοις στρατιωταις Εαν μη ουτοι μεινωσιν εν τω πλοιω υμεις σωθηναι ου δυνασθε

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

27:32

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

Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

27:33

Αχρι δε ου ημερα ημελλεν γινεσθαι παρεκαλει ο Παυλος απαντας μεταλαβειν τροφης λεγων Τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατην σημερον ημεραν προσδοκωντες ασιτοι διατελειτε μηθεν προσλαβομενοι

And 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.

27:34

διο παρακαλω υμας μεταλαβειν τροφης τουτο γαρ προς της υμετερας σωτηριας υπαρχει ουδενος γαρ υμων θριξ απο της κεφαλης απολειται

Wherefore 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.

27:35

Ειπας δε ταυτα και λαβων αρτον ευχαριστησεν τω Θεω ενωπιον παντων και κλασας ηρξατο εσθιειν

And 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.

27:36

ευθυμοι δε γενομενοι παντες και αυτοι προσελαβοντο τροφης

Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.

27:37

ημεθα δε αι πασαι ψυχαι εν τω πλοιω διακοσιαι εβδομηκοντα εξ

And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

27:38

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

And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

27:39

Οτε δε ημερα εγενετο την γην ουκ επεγινωσκον κολπον δε τινα κατενοουν εχοντα αιγιαλον εις ον εβουλευοντο ει δυναιντο εξωσαι το πλοιον

And 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.

27:40

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

And 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.

27:41

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

But 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.

27:42

Των δε στρατιωτων βουλη εγενετο ινα τους δεσμωτας αποκτεινωσιν μη τις εκκολυμβησας διαφυγη

And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

27:43

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

But 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;

27:44

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

and 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.
