Acts of the Apostles 27

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they handed Paul and some other prisoners over to a centurion named Julius of the Cohort Augusta.	1 Ut autem iudicatum est na vigare nos in Italiam, tradiderunt et Paulumet quosdam alios vinctos centurioni nomine Iulio, cohortis Augustae.
2 We went on board a ship from Adramyttium bound for ports in the province of Asia and set sail. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.	2 Ascendentes autem navem Hadramyttenam, incipientem navigare circa Asiae loca,sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi;
3 On the following day we put in at Sidon where Julius was kind enough to allow Paul to visit his friends who took care of him.	3 sequenti autem die, devenimus Sidonem, et humane tractans Iulius Paulum permisitad amicos ire et curam sui agere.
4 From there we put out to sea and sailed around the sheltered side of Cyprus because of the headwinds,	4 Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimusCypro, propterea quod essent venti contrarii;
5 and crossing the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia.	5 et pelagus Ciliciae etPamphyliae navigantes venimus Myram, quae est Lyciae.
6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship that was sailing to Italy and put us on board.	6 Et ibi invenienscenturio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam transposuit nos in eam.
7 For many days we made little headway, arriving at Cnidus only with difficulty, and because the wind would not permit us to continue our course we sailed for the sheltered side of Crete off Salmone.	7 Etcum multis diebus tarde navigaremus et vix devenissemus contra Cnidum,prohibente nos vento, subnavigavimus Cretae secundum Salmonem;
8 We sailed past it with difficulty and reached a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.	8 et vix iuxtaeam navigantes venimus in locum quendam, qui vocatur Boni Portus, cui iuxta eratcivitas Lasaea.
9 Much time had now passed and sailing had become hazardous because the time of the fast had already gone by, so Paul warned them,	9 Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum iam non esset tutanavigatio, eo quod et ieiunium iam praeterisset, monebat Paulus
10 "Men, I can see that this voyage will result in severe damage and heavy loss not only to the cargo and the ship, but also to our lives."	10 dicens eis:“ Viri, video quoniam cum iniuria et multo damno non solum oneris et navis sedetiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio ”.
11 The centurion, however, paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.	11 Centurio autemgubernatori et nauclero magis credebat quam his, quae a Paulo dicebantur.
12 Since the harbor was unfavorably situated for spending the winter, the majority planned to put out to sea from there in the hope of reaching Phoenix, a port in Crete facing west-northwest, there to spend the winter.	12 Etcum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium enavigareinde, si quo modo possent devenientes Phoenicen hiemare, portum Cretaerespicientem ad africum et ad caurum.
13 A south wind blew gently, and thinking they had attained their objective, they weighed anchor and sailed along close to the coast of Crete.	13 Aspirante autem austro, aestimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent,propius legebant Cretam.
14 Before long an offshore wind of hurricane force called a "Northeaster" struck.	14 Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventustyphonicus, qui vocatur euroaquilo;
15 Since the ship was caught up in it and could not head into the wind we gave way and let ourselves be driven.	15 cumque arrepta esset navis et non possetconari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur.
16 We passed along the sheltered side of an island named Cauda and managed only with difficulty to get the dinghy under control.	16 Insulam autem quandamdecurrentes, quae vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham,
17 They hoisted it aboard, then used cables to undergird the ship. Because of their fear that they would run aground on the shoal of Syrtis, they lowered the drift anchor and were carried along in this way.	17 qua sublata,adiutoriis utebantur accingentes navem; et timentes, ne in Syrtim inciderent,submisso vase, sic ferebantur.
18 We were being pounded by the storm so violently that the next day they jettisoned some cargo,	18 Valide autem nobis tempestate iactatis,sequenti die iactum fecerunt
19 and on the third day with their own hands they threw even the ship's tackle overboard.	19 et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navisproiecerunt.
20 Neither the sun nor the stars were visible for many days, and no small storm raged. Finally, all hope of our surviving was taken away.	20 Neque sole autem neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies,et tempestate non exigua imminente, iam auferebatur spes omnis salutis nostrae.
21 When many would no longer eat, Paul stood among them and said, "Men, you should have taken my advice and not have set sail from Crete and you would have avoided this disastrous loss.	21 Et cum multa ieiunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum dixit: “Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta lucrique facereiniuriam hanc et iacturam.
22 I urge you now to keep up your courage; not one of you will be lost, only the ship.	22 Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse, nulla enimamissio animae erit ex vobis praeterquam navis;
23 For last night an angel of the God to whom (I) belong and whom I serve stood by me	23 astitit enim mihi hac nocteangelus Dei, cuius sum ego, cui et deservio,
24 and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You are destined to stand before Caesar; and behold, for your sake, God has granted safety to all who are sailing with you.'	24 dicens: “Ne timeas, Paule;Caesari te oportet assistere, et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes, qui naviganttecum”.
25 Therefore, keep up your courage, men; I trust in God that it will turn out as I have been told.	25 Propter quod bono animo estote, viri; credo enim Deo, quia sicerit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi.
26 We are destined to run aground on some island."	26 In insulam autem quandam oportet nosincidere ”.
27 On the fourteenth night, as we were still being driven about on the Adriatic Sea, toward midnight the sailors began to suspect that they were nearing land.	27 Sed posteaquam quarta decima nox supervenit, cum ferremur inHadria, circa mediam noctem suspicabantur nautae apparere sibi aliquam regionem.
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms; a little farther on, they again took soundings and found fifteen fathoms.	28 Qui submittentes bolidem invenerunt passus viginti; et pusillum inde separatiet rursum submittentes invenerunt passus quindecim;
29 Fearing that we would run aground on a rocky coast, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.	29 timentes autem, ne inaspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes ancoras quattuor optabant diemfieri.
30 The sailors then tried to abandon ship; they lowered the dinghy to the sea on the pretext of going to lay out anchors from the bow.	30 Nautis vero quaerentibus fugere de navi, cum demisissent scapham inmare sub obtentu, quasi a prora inciperent ancoras extendere,
31 But Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved."	31 dixit Pauluscenturioni et militibus: “ Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri nonpotestis ”.
32 So the soldiers cut the ropes of the dinghy and set it adrift.	32 Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphae et passi sunt eamexcidere.
33 Until the day began to dawn, Paul kept urging all to take some food. He said, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been waiting, going hungry and eating nothing.	33 Donec autem lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum dicens:“ Quarta decima hodie die exspectantes ieiuni permanetis nihil accipientes;
34 I urge you, therefore, to take some food; it will help you survive. Not a hair of the head of anyone of you will be lost."	34 propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum, hoc enim pro salute vestra est, quianullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit ”.
35 When he said this, he took bread, gave thanks to God in front of them all, broke it, and began to eat.	35 Et cum haec dixisset etsumpsisset panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium et, cum fregisset, coepitmanducare.
36 They were all encouraged, and took some food themselves.	36 Animaequiores autem facti omnes et ipsi assumpserunt cibum.
37 In all, there were two hundred seventy-six of us on the ship.	37 Eramus vero universae animae in navi ducentae septuaginta sex.
38 After they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship by throwing the wheat into the sea.	38 Et satiaticibo alleviabant navem iactantes triticum in mare.
39 When day came they did not recognize the land, but made out a bay with a beach. They planned to run the ship ashore on it, if they could.	39 Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant; sinum vero quendamconsiderabant habentem litus, in quem cogitabant, si possent, eicere navem.
40 So they cast off the anchors and abandoned them to the sea, and at the same time they unfastened the lines of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail into the wind, they made for the beach.	40 Et cum ancoras abstulissent, committebant mari simul laxantes iuncturasgubernaculorum et, levato artemone, secundum flatum aurae tendebant ad litus.
41 But they struck a sandbar and ran the ship aground. The bow was wedged in and could not be moved, but the stern began to break up under the pounding (of the waves).	41 Et cum incidissent in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem; et prora quidem fixamanebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi fluctuum.
42 The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners so that none might swim away and escape,	42 Militum autemconsilium fuit, ut custodias occiderent, ne quis, cum enatasset, effugeret;
43 but the centurion wanted to save Paul and so kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to the shore,	43 centurio autem volens servare Paulum prohibuit eos a consilio iussitque eos, quipossent natare, mittere se primos et ad terram exire
44 and then the rest, some on planks, others on debris from the ship. In this way, all reached shore safely.	44 et ceteros, quosdam intabulis, quosdam vero super ea, quae de navi essent; et sic factum est ut omnesevaderent ad terram.
