Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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.
1Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ,
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.
2ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi.
3The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
3Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere.
4Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
4Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii.
5When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
5Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ:
6There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
6et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.
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.
7Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem:
8With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
8et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa.
9When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
9Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus,
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.”
10dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio.
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.
11Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.
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.
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.
13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
13Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam.
14But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
14Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo.
15When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
15Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
16In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.
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.
17Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur.
18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
18Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt:
19On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
19et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt.
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.
20Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ.
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.
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.
22Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
22Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse: amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis.
23For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
23Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio,
24saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
24dicens: Ne timeas, Paule: Cæsari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum.
25Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
25Propter quod bono animo estote, viri: credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26But we must run aground on a certain island.”
26In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire.
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.
27Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
28Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.
29Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
29Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri.
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,
30Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere,
31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
31dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis.
32Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
32Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere.
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.
33Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes.
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.”
34Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.
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.
35Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare.
36Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
36Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum.
37In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
37Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex.
38When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
38Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare.
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.
39Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem.
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.
40Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.
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.
41Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris.
42The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
42Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret.
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;
43Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: jussitque eos qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire:
44and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
44et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
