1	And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,	And when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan Cohort named Julius.

2	and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,	And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica.	We boarded a ship from Adramyttium about to sail for ports along the coast of the province of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us.
3	on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, permitted [him], having gone on to friends, to receive [their] care.	The next day we put in at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for.	The next day we landed at Sidon; and Julius, in kindness to Paul, allowed him to go to his friends so they might provide for his needs.
4	And there, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,	And putting out to sea from there we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us.	From there we put out to sea again and passed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.
5	and having sailed over the sea down by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia,	And when we had sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia.	When we had sailed across the open sea off the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
6	and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, put us into it,	There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board.	There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7	and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming down by Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete, down by Salmone,	We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone.	We made slow headway for many days and had difficulty arriving off Cnidus. When the wind did not allow us to hold our course, we sailed to the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8	and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.	Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.	We moved along the coast with difficulty and came to a place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9	And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,	Since much time had passed, and the voyage was now dangerous because even the Fast was already over, Paul advised them,	Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Day of Atonement. So Paul warned them,
10	saying to them, “Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the load and of the ship, but also of our lives—the voyage is about to be”;	saying, “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.”	“Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.”
11	but the centurion gave more credence to the pilot and to the shipowner than to the things spoken by Paul;	But the centurion paid more attention to the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.	But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.
12	and the haven being not well placed to winter in, the greater part gave counsel to sail from there, if somehow they might be able, having attained to Phoenix, to winter [there], [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest,	And because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing both southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.	Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.
13	and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,	Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.	When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
14	and not long after, there came down from it a turbulent wind [that] is called the Euroclydon,	But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land.	Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island.
15	and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were carried on,	And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.	The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.
16	and having run under a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,	Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the ship’s boat.	As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure,
17	which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall into the [sandbars of] Syrtis, having let down the mast—so were carried on.	After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and thus they were driven along.	so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.
18	And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,	Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day to jettison the cargo.	We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.
19	and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship with our own hands,	And on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.	On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
20	and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little storm lying on us, from then on all hope was taken away of our being saved.	When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.	When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
21	And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, “It was necessary, indeed, O men—having listened to me—not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;	Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this injury and loss.	After they had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss.
22	and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you—but of the ship;	Yet now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.	But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.
23	for this night there stood by me a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve—	For this very night there stood before me an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I worship,	Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me
24	saying, Do not be afraid Paul; it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you;	and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’	and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’
25	for this reason be of good cheer, men! For I believe God, that so it will be, even as it has been spoken to me,	So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.	So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.
26	and on a certain island it is necessary for us to be cast.”	But we must run aground on some island.”	Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island.”
27	And when the fourteenth night came—we being carried up and down in the Adria—toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew near to them;	When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land.	On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land.
28	and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found fifteen fathoms,	So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms. A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.	They took soundings and found that the water was a hundred and twenty feet deep. A short time later they took soundings again and found it was ninety feet deep.
29	and fearing lest we may fall on rough places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were wishing day to come.	And fearing that we might run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come.	Fearing that we would be dashed against the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and prayed for daylight.
30	And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretense as [if] out of the prow they are about to cast anchors,	And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered the ship’s boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow,	In an attempt to escape from the ship, the sailors let the lifeboat down into the sea, pretending they were going to lower some anchors from the bow.
31	Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “If these do not remain in the ship—you are not able to be saved”;	Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”	Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32	then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and permitted it to fall off.	Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship’s boat and let it go.	So the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.
33	And until the day was about to be, Paul was calling on all to partake of nourishment, saying, “Fourteen days today, waiting, you continue fasting, having taken nothing,	As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing.	Just before dawn Paul urged them all to eat. “For the last fourteen days,” he said, “you have been in constant suspense and have gone without food—you haven’t eaten anything.
34	for this reason I call on you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you will a hair fall from the head”;	Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength, for not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.”	Now I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”
35	and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;	And when he had said these things, he took bread, and giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat.	After he said this, he took some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all. Then he broke it and began to eat.
36	and all having become of good cheer, also took food themselves,	Then they all were encouraged and ate some food themselves.	They were all encouraged and ate some food themselves.
37	(and we were—all the souls in the ship—two hundred, seventy-six),	(We were in all 276 persons in the ship.)	Altogether there were 276 of us on board.
38	and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea.	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.	When they had eaten as much as they wanted, they lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.
39	And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but were perceiving a certain bay having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,	Now when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore.	When daylight came, they did not recognize the land, but they saw a bay with a sandy beach, where they decided to run the ship aground if they could.
40	and having taken up the anchors, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time—having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the foresail to the wind—they were making for the shore,	So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach.	Cutting loose the anchors, they left them in the sea and at the same time untied the ropes that held the rudders. Then they hoisted the foresail to the wind and made for the beach.
41	and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the prow, indeed, having stuck fast, remained immoveable, but the stern was broken by the violence of the waves.	But striking a reef, they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf.	But the ship struck a sandbar and ran aground. The bow stuck fast and would not move, and the stern was broken to pieces by the pounding of the surf.
42	And the soldiers’ counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone having swam out should escape,	The soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape.	The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.
43	but the centurion, resolving to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and commanded those able to swim, having cast themselves out first—to get to the land,	But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land,	But the centurion wanted to spare Paul’s life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
44	and the rest, some indeed on boards, and some on certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.	and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that all were brought safely to land.	The rest were to get there on planks or on other pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land safely.
