Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy, and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,
1ωσ δε εκριθη του αποπλειν ημασ εισ την ιταλιαν παρεδιδουν τον τε παυλον και τινασ ετερουσ δεσμωτασ εκατονταρχη ονοματι ιουλιω σπειρησ σεβαστησ
2Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
2επιβαντεσ δε πλοιω αδραμυττηνω μελλοντεσ πλειν τουσ κατα την ασιαν τοπουσ ανηχθημεν οντοσ συν ημιν αρισταρχου μακεδονοσ θεσσαλονικεωσ
3And the day following we came to Sidon. And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.
3τη τε ετερα κατηχθημεν εισ σιδωνα φιλανθρωπωσ τε ο ιουλιοσ τω παυλω χρησαμενοσ επετρεψεν προσ τουσ φιλουσ πορευθεντα επιμελειασ τυχειν
4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
4κακειθεν αναχθεντεσ υπεπλευσαμεν την κυπρον δια το τουσ ανεμουσ ειναι εναντιουσ
5And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
5το τε πελαγοσ το κατα την κιλικιαν και παμφυλιαν διαπλευσαντεσ κατηλθομεν εισ μυρα τησ λυκιασ
6And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.
6κακει ευρων ο εκατονταρχοσ πλοιον αλεξανδρινον πλεον εισ την ιταλιαν ενεβιβασεν ημασ εισ αυτο
7And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:
7εν ικαναισ δε ημεραισ βραδυπλοουντεσ και μολισ γενομενοι κατα την κνιδον μη προσεωντοσ ημασ του ανεμου υπεπλευσαμεν την κρητην κατα σαλμωνην
8And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.
8μολισ τε παραλεγομενοι αυτην ηλθομεν εισ τοπον τινα καλουμενον καλουσ λιμενασ ω εγγυσ ην πολισ λασαια
9And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
9ικανου δε χρονου διαγενομενου και οντοσ ηδη επισφαλουσ του πλοοσ δια το και την νηστειαν ηδη παρεληλυθεναι παρηνει ο παυλοσ
10Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
10λεγων 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
11But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
11ο δε εκατονταρχησ τω κυβερνητη και τω ναυκληρω επειθετο μαλλον η τοισ υπο του παυλου λεγομενοισ
12And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.
12ανευθετου δε του λιμενοσ υπαρχοντοσ προσ παραχειμασιαν οι πλειουσ εθεντο βουλην αναχθηναι κακειθεν ει πωσ δυναιντο καταντησαντεσ εισ φοινικα παραχειμασαι λιμενα τησ κρητησ βλεποντα κατα λιβα και κατα χωρον
13And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.
13υποπνευσαντοσ δε νοτου δοξαντεσ τησ προθεσεωσ κεκρατηκεναι αραντεσ ασσον παρελεγοντο την κρητην
14But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
14μετ ου πολυ δε εβαλεν κατ αυτησ ανεμοσ τυφωνικοσ ο καλουμενοσ ευροκλυδων
15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
15συναρπασθεντοσ δε του πλοιου και μη δυναμενου αντοφθαλμειν τω ανεμω επιδοντεσ εφερομεθα
16And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
16νησιον δε τι υποδραμοντεσ καλουμενον κλαυδην μολισ ισχυσαμεν περικρατεισ γενεσθαι τησ σκαφησ
17Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.
17ην αραντεσ βοηθειαισ εχρωντο υποζωννυντεσ το πλοιον φοβουμενοι τε μη εισ την συρτην εκπεσωσιν χαλασαντεσ το σκευοσ ουτωσ εφεροντο
18And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
18σφοδρωσ δε χειμαζομενων ημων τη εξησ εκβολην εποιουντο
19And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
19και τη τριτη αυτοχειρεσ την σκευην του πλοιου ερριψαμεν
20And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
20μητε δε ηλιου μητε αστρων επιφαινοντων επι πλειονασ ημερασ χειμωνοσ τε ουκ ολιγου επικειμενου λοιπον περιηρειτο πασα ελπισ του σωζεσθαι ημασ
21And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.
21πολλησ δε 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
22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but only of the ship.
22και τα νυν παραινω υμασ ευθυμειν αποβολη γαρ ψυχησ ουδεμια εσται εξ υμων πλην του πλοιου
23For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
23παρεστη γαρ μοι ταυτη τη νυκτι αγγελοσ του θεου ου ειμι ω και λατρευω
24Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
24λεγων μη φοβου παυλε καισαρι σε δει παραστηναι και ιδου κεχαρισται σοι ο θεοσ παντασ τουσ πλεοντασ μετα σου
25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
25διο ευθυμειτε ανδρεσ πιστευω γαρ τω θεω οτι ουτωσ εσται καθ ον τροπον λελαληται μοι
26And we must come unto a certain island.
26εισ νησον δε τινα δει ημασ εκπεσειν
27But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
27ωσ δε τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατη νυξ εγενετο διαφερομενων ημων εν τω αδρια κατα μεσον τησ νυκτοσ υπενοουν οι ναυται προσαγειν τινα αυτοισ χωραν
28Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.
28και βολισαντεσ ευρον οργυιασ εικοσι βραχυ δε διαστησαντεσ και παλιν βολισαντεσ ευρον οργυιασ δεκαπεντε
29Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
29φοβουμενοι τε μηπωσ εισ τραχεισ τοπουσ εκπεσωμεν εκ πρυμνησ ριψαντεσ αγκυρασ τεσσαρασ ηυχοντο ημεραν γενεσθαι
30But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,
30των δε ναυτων ζητουντων φυγειν εκ του πλοιου και χαλασαντων την σκαφην εισ την θαλασσαν προφασει ωσ εκ πρωρασ μελλοντων αγκυρασ εκτεινειν
31Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
31ειπεν ο παυλοσ τω εκατονταρχη και τοισ στρατιωταισ εαν μη ουτοι μεινωσιν εν τω πλοιω υμεισ σωθηναι ου δυνασθε
32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
32τοτε οι στρατιωται απεκοψαν τα σχοινια τησ σκαφησ και ειασαν αυτην εκπεσειν
33And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited, and continued fasting, taking nothing.
33αχρι δε ου ημελλεν ημερα γινεσθαι παρεκαλει ο παυλοσ απαντασ μεταλαβειν τροφησ λεγων τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατην σημερον ημεραν προσδοκωντεσ ασιτοι διατελειτε μηδεν προσλαβομενοι
34Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health’s sake; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish.
34διο παρακαλω υμασ προσλαβειν τροφησ τουτο γαρ προσ τησ υμετερασ σωτηριασ υπαρχει ουδενοσ γαρ υμων θριξ εκ τησ κεφαλησ πεσειται
35And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
35ειπων δε ταυτα και λαβων αρτον ευχαριστησεν τω θεω ενωπιον παντων και κλασασ ηρξατο εσθιειν
36Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.
36ευθυμοι δε γενομενοι παντεσ και αυτοι προσελαβοντο τροφησ
37And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
37ημεν δε εν τω πλοιω αι πασαι ψυχαι διακοσιαι εβδομηκοντα εξ
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
38κορεσθεντεσ δε τησ τροφησ εκουφιζον το πλοιον εκβαλλομενοι τον σιτον εισ την θαλασσαν
39And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.
39οτε δε ημερα εγενετο την γην ουκ επεγινωσκον κολπον δε τινα κατενοουν εχοντα αιγιαλον εισ ον εβουλευσαντο ει δυνατον εξωσαι το πλοιον
40And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.
40και τασ αγκυρασ περιελοντεσ ειων εισ την θαλασσαν αμα ανεντεσ τασ ζευκτηριασ των πηδαλιων και επαραντεσ τον αρτεμονα τη πνεουση κατειχον εισ τον αιγιαλον
41And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.
41περιπεσοντεσ δε εισ τοπον διθαλασσον επωκειλαν την ναυν και η μεν πρωρα ερεισασα εμεινεν ασαλευτοσ η δε πρυμνα ελυετο υπο τησ βιασ των κυματων
42And the soldiers’ counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
42των δε στρατιωτων βουλη εγενετο ινα τουσ δεσμωτασ αποκτεινωσιν μη τισ εκκολυμβησασ διαφυγη
43But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.
43ο δε εκατονταρχοσ βουλομενοσ διασωσαι τον παυλον εκωλυσεν αυτουσ του βουληματοσ εκελευσεν τε τουσ δυναμενουσ κολυμβαν απορριψαντασ πρωτουσ επι την γην εξιεναι
44And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
44και τουσ λοιπουσ ουσ μεν επι σανισιν ουσ δε επι τινων των απο του πλοιου και ουτωσ εγενετο παντασ διασωθηναι επι την γην
