King James Version with Apocrypha
1Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ,
1And 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.
2ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
2And 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.
3Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
3And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ:
5And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
6And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem:
7And 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;
8et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa.
8And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them ,
10dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.
10And 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.
11Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.
11Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phœnicen hiemare, portum Cretæ respicientem ad Africum et ad Corum.
12And 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.
13Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence , they sailed close by Crete.
14Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
14But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
15And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
16And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
17Which 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.
18Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt:
18And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt.
19And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.
20And 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.
21Et cum multa jejunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit: Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere injuriam hanc et jacturam.
21But 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.
22Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse: amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.
22And 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.
23Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio,
23For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24dicens: Ne timeas, Paule: Cæsari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum.
24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25Propter quod bono animo estote, viri: credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire.
26Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
27Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
27But 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;
28Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
28And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri.
29Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,
30And 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,
31dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.
32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
33And 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.
34Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
34Wherefore 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.
35Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.
35And 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.
36Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.
37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare.
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem.
39And 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.
40Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.
40And 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.
41Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
41And 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.
42Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret.
42And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: jussitque eos qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:
43But 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:
44et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
44And 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.
