Chapter 27

27:1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto [one] named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

epibanteV de ploiw adramutthnw mellonteV plein touV kata thn asian topouV anhcqhmen ontoV sun hmin aristarcou makedonoV qessalonikewV
27:2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; [one] Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

27:3 And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.

kakeiqen anacqenteV upepleusamen thn kupron dia to touV anemouV einai enantiouV
27:4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

27:5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.

kakei eurwn o ekatontarcoV ploion alexandrinon pleon eiV thn italian enebibasen hmaV eiV auto
27:6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.

en ikanaiV de hmeraiV braduploounteV kai moliV genomenoi kata thn knidon mh prosewntoV hmaV tou anemou upepleusamen thn krhthn kata salmwnhn
27:7 And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

moliV te paralegomenoi authn hlqomen eiV topon tina kaloumenon kalous limenaV w egguV hn poliV lasaia
27:8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city [of] Lasea.

ikanou de cronou diagenomenou kai ontoV hdh episfalouV tou plooV dia to kai thn nhsteian hdh parelhluqenai parhnei o pauloV
27:9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them],

legwn autoiV andreV qewrw oti meta ubrewV kai pollhV zhmiaV ou monon tou fortou kai tou ploiou alla kai twn yucwn hmwn mellein esesqai ton ploun
27:10 And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

o de ekatontarcoV tw kubernhth kai tw nauklhrw epeiqeto mallon h toiV upo tou paulou legomenoiV
27:11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

27:12 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

27:13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete.

27:14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

sunarpasqentoV de tou ploiou kai mh dunamenou antofqalmein tw anemw epidonteV eferomeqa
27:15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let [her] drive.

27:16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

27:17 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next [day] they lightened the ship;

kai th trith autoceireV thn skeuhn tou ploiou erriyamen
27:19 And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

mhte de hliou mhte astrwn epifainontwn epi pleionaV hmeraV ceimwnoV te ouk oligou epikeimenou loipon perihreito pasa elpiV tou swzesqai hmaV
27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

kai tanun parainw umaV euqumein apobolh gar yuchV oudemia estai ex umwn plhn tou ploiou
27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of [any man's] life among you, but of the ship.

paresth gar moi th nukti tauth aggeloV tou qeou ou eimi w kai latreuw
27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,

legwn mh fobou paule kaisari se dei parasthnai kai idou kecaristai soi o qeoV pantaV touV pleontaV meta sou
27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

dio euqumeite andreV pisteuw gar tw qew oti outwV estai kaq on tropon lelalhtai moi
27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.

27:26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

wV de tessareskaidekath nux egeneto diaferomenwn hmwn en tw adria kata meson thV nuktoV upenooun oi nautai prosagein tina autoiV cwran
27:27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;

kai bolisanteV euron orguiaV eikosi bracu de diasthsanteV kai palin bolisanteV euron orguiaV dekapente
27:28 And sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found [it] fifteen fathoms.

27:29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

twn de nautwn zhtountwn fugein ek tou ploiou kai calasantwn thn skafhn eiV thn qalassan profasei wV ek prwraV mellontwn agkuraV ekteinein
27:30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

eipen o pauloV tw ekatontarch kai toiV stratiwtaiV ean mh outoi meinwsin en tw ploiw umeiV swqhnai ou dunasqe
27:31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

tote oi stratiwtai apekoyan ta scoinia thV skafhV kai eiasan authn ekpesein
27:32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.

acri de ou emellen hmera ginesqai parekalei o pauloV apantaV metalabein trofhV legwn tessareskaidekathn shmeron hmeran prosdokwnteV asitoi diateleite mhden proslabomenoi
27:33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought [them] all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

dio parakalw umaV proslabein trofhV touto gar proV thV umeteraV swthriaV uparcei oudenoV gar umwn qrix ek thV kefalhV peseitai
27:34 Wherefore I pray you to take [some] meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

eipwn de tauta kai labwn arton eucaristhsen tw qew enwpion pantwn kai klasaV hrxato esqiein
27:35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken [it], he began to eat.

euqumoi de genomenoi panteV kai autoi proselabonto trofhV
27:36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took [some] meat.

hmen de en tw ploiw ai pasai yucai diakosiai ebdomhkontaex
27:37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.

koresqenteV de trofhV ekoufizon to ploion ekballomenoi ton siton eiV thn qalassan
27:38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.

ote de hmera egeneto thn ghn ouk epeginwskon kolpon de tina katenooun econta aigialon eiV on ebouleusanto ei dunainto exwsai to ploion
27:39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

kai taV agkuraV perielonteV eiwn eiV thn qalassan ama anenteV taV zeukthriaV twn phdaliwn kai eparanteV ton artemona th pneoush kateicon eiV ton aigialon
27:40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed [themselves] unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

peripesonteV de eiV topon diqalasson epwkeilan thn naun kai h men prwra ereisasa emeinen asaleutoV h de prumna elueto upo thV biaV twn kumatwn
27:41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

twn de stratiwtwn boulh egeneto ina touV desmwtaV apokteinwsin mhtiV ekkolumbhsaV diafugoi
27:42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.

o de ekatontarcoV boulomenoV diaswsai ton paulon ekwlusen autouV tou boulhmatoV ekeleusen te touV dunamenouV kolumban aporriyantaV prwtouV epi thn ghn exienai
27:43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their] purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast [themselves] first [into the sea], and get to land:

kai touV loipouV ouV men epi sanisin ouV de epi tinwn twn apo tou ploiou kai outwV egeneto pantaV diaswqhnai epi thn ghn
27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
