Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1When 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.
1ωσ δε εκριθη του αποπλειν ημασ εισ την ιταλιαν παρεδιδουν τον τε παυλον και τινασ ετερουσ δεσμωτασ εκατονταρχη ονοματι ιουλιω σπειρησ σεβαστησ
2Embarking 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.
2επιβαντεσ δε πλοιω αδραμυττηνω μελλοντεσ πλειν τουσ κατα την ασιαν τοπουσ ανηχθημεν οντοσ συν ημιν αρισταρχου μακεδονοσ θεσσαλονικεωσ
3The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
3τη τε ετερα κατηχθημεν εισ σιδωνα φιλανθρωπωσ τε ο ιουλιοσ τω παυλω χρησαμενοσ επετρεψεν προσ τουσ φιλουσ πορευθεντα επιμελειασ τυχειν
4Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
4κακειθεν αναχθεντεσ υπεπλευσαμεν την κυπρον δια το τουσ ανεμουσ ειναι εναντιουσ
5When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
5το τε πελαγοσ το κατα την κιλικιαν και παμφυλιαν διαπλευσαντεσ κατηλθομεν εισ μυρα τησ λυκιασ
6There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
6κακει ευρων ο εκατονταρχοσ πλοιον αλεξανδρινον πλεον εισ την ιταλιαν ενεβιβασεν ημασ εισ αυτο
7When 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.
7εν ικαναισ δε ημεραισ βραδυπλοουντεσ και μολισ γενομενοι κατα την κνιδον μη προσεωντοσ ημασ του ανεμου υπεπλευσαμεν την κρητην κατα σαλμωνην
8With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
8μολισ τε παραλεγομενοι αυτην ηλθομεν εισ τοπον τινα καλουμενον καλουσ λιμενασ ω εγγυσ ην πολισ λασαια
9When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
9ικανου δε χρονου διαγενομενου και οντοσ ηδη επισφαλουσ του πλοοσ δια το και την νηστειαν ηδη παρεληλυθεναι παρηνει ο παυλοσ
10and 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.”
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 gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
11ο δε εκατονταρχησ τω κυβερνητη και τω ναυκληρω επειθετο μαλλον η τοισ υπο του παυλου λεγομενοισ
12Because 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 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
13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
13υποπνευσαντοσ δε νοτου δοξαντεσ τησ προθεσεωσ κεκρατηκεναι αραντεσ ασσον παρελεγοντο την κρητην
14But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
14μετ ου πολυ δε εβαλεν κατ αυτησ ανεμοσ τυφωνικοσ ο καλουμενοσ ευροκλυδων
15When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
15συναρπασθεντοσ δε του πλοιου και μη δυναμενου αντοφθαλμειν τω ανεμω επιδοντεσ εφερομεθα
16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
16νησιον δε τι υποδραμοντεσ καλουμενον κλαυδην μολισ ισχυσαμεν περικρατεισ γενεσθαι τησ σκαφησ
17After 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.
17ην αραντεσ βοηθειαισ εχρωντο υποζωννυντεσ το πλοιον φοβουμενοι τε μη εισ την συρτην εκπεσωσιν χαλασαντεσ το σκευοσ ουτωσ εφεροντο
18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
18σφοδρωσ δε χειμαζομενων ημων τη εξησ εκβολην εποιουντο
19On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
19και τη τριτη αυτοχειρεσ την σκευην του πλοιου ερριψαμεν
20When 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.
20μητε δε ηλιου μητε αστρων επιφαινοντων επι πλειονασ ημερασ χειμωνοσ τε ουκ ολιγου επικειμενου λοιπον περιηρειτο πασα ελπισ του σωζεσθαι ημασ
21When 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.
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
22Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of 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 there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
23παρεστη γαρ μοι ταυτη τη νυκτι αγγελοσ του θεου ου ειμι ω και λατρευω
24saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
24λεγων μη φοβου παυλε καισαρι σε δει παραστηναι και ιδου κεχαρισται σοι ο θεοσ παντασ τουσ πλεοντασ μετα σου
25Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
25διο ευθυμειτε ανδρεσ πιστευω γαρ τω θεω οτι ουτωσ εσται καθ ον τροπον λελαληται μοι
26But we must run aground on a certain island.”
26εισ νησον δε τινα δει ημασ εκπεσειν
27But 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.
27ωσ δε τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατη νυξ εγενετο διαφερομενων ημων εν τω αδρια κατα μεσον τησ νυκτοσ υπενοουν οι ναυται προσαγειν τινα αυτοισ χωραν
28They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
28και βολισαντεσ ευρον οργυιασ εικοσι βραχυ δε διαστησαντεσ και παλιν βολισαντεσ ευρον οργυιασ δεκαπεντε
29Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
29φοβουμενοι τε μηπωσ εισ τραχεισ τοπουσ εκπεσωμεν εκ πρυμνησ ριψαντεσ αγκυρασ τεσσαρασ ηυχοντο ημεραν γενεσθαι
30As 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,
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, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t 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 away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
32τοτε οι στρατιωται απεκοψαν τα σχοινια τησ σκαφησ και ειασαν αυτην εκπεσειν
33While 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.
33αχρι δε ου ημελλεν ημερα γινεσθαι παρεκαλει ο παυλοσ απαντασ μεταλαβειν τροφησ λεγων τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατην σημερον ημεραν προσδοκωντεσ ασιτοι διατελειτε μηδεν προσλαβομενοι
34Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”
34διο παρακαλω υμασ προσλαβειν τροφησ τουτο γαρ προσ τησ υμετερασ σωτηριασ υπαρχει ουδενοσ γαρ υμων θριξ εκ τησ κεφαλησ πεσειται
35When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.
35ειπων δε ταυτα και λαβων αρτον ευχαριστησεν τω θεω ενωπιον παντων και κλασασ ηρξατο εσθιειν
36Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
36ευθυμοι δε γενομενοι παντεσ και αυτοι προσελαβοντο τροφησ
37In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
37ημεν δε εν τω πλοιω αι πασαι ψυχαι διακοσιαι εβδομηκοντα εξ
38When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
38κορεσθεντεσ δε τησ τροφησ εκουφιζον το πλοιον εκβαλλομενοι τον σιτον εισ την θαλασσαν
39When 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.
39οτε δε ημερα εγενετο την γην ουκ επεγινωσκον κολπον δε τινα κατενοουν εχοντα αιγιαλον εισ ον εβουλευσαντο ει δυνατον εξωσαι το πλοιον
40Casting 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.
40και τασ αγκυρασ περιελοντεσ ειων εισ την θαλασσαν αμα ανεντεσ τασ ζευκτηριασ των πηδαλιων και επαραντεσ τον αρτεμονα τη πνεουση κατειχον εισ τον αιγιαλον
41But 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.
41περιπεσοντεσ δε εισ τοπον διθαλασσον επωκειλαν την ναυν και η μεν πρωρα ερεισασα εμεινεν ασαλευτοσ η δε πρυμνα ελυετο υπο τησ βιασ των κυματων
42The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
42των δε στρατιωτων βουλη εγενετο ινα τουσ δεσμωτασ αποκτεινωσιν μη τισ εκκολυμβησασ διαφυγη
43But 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;
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 should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
44και τουσ λοιπουσ ουσ μεν επι σανισιν ουσ δε επι τινων των απο του πλοιου και ουτωσ εγενετο παντασ διασωθηναι επι την γην
