Acts 27:7-20 in English

⁷ And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;

⁸ and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

⁹ And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

¹⁰ and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹ But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹² And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.

¹³ And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

¹⁴ But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:

¹⁵ and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.

¹⁶ And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:

¹⁷ and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

¹⁸ And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard;

¹⁹ and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰ And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

⁷ And 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;

⁸ And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

⁹ Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

¹⁰ And 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.

¹¹ Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹² And 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.

¹³ And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

¹⁴ But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

¹⁶ And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

¹⁷ Which 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.

¹⁸ And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

¹⁹ And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰ And 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.

⁷ And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;

⁸ and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

⁹ And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

¹⁰ and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹ But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹² And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there; which is a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.

¹³ And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.

¹⁴ But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:

¹⁵ and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven.

¹⁶ And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:

¹⁷ and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.

¹⁸ And as we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw the freight overboard;

¹⁹ and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰ And when neither sun nor stars shone upon us for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.

⁷ We sailed slowly for several days and finally arrived close to the coast of Asia province, near Cnidus town. After that, the wind was very strong and did not allow the ship to move straight ahead westward. So instead, we sailed southward along the side of Crete Island that is sheltered from the wind, and we passed near Cape Salmone.

⁸ The wind was still strong, and it prevented the ship from moving ahead fast. So we moved slowly along the coast of Crete, and we arrived at a harbor that was called Fair Havens, near Lasea town.

⁹ Much time had passed, so it would have been dangerous if we (exc) had traveled farther by ship because after that time of the year MTY the sea often became very stormy. So Paul said to the men on the ship,

¹⁰ “Men, I perceive that if we(inc) travel by ship now, it will be disastrous for us. A storm may destroy the ship and the cargo, and possibly we will drown.”

¹¹ But the officer did not listen to what Paul said. Instead, he decided to do what the pilot of the ship and the owner of the ship advised.

¹² The harbor where the ship had stopped was not a good place to remain during the winter when the weather frequently becomes stormy. So most of the people on the ship decided that we(exc) should leave there, because they hoped that we could stay at Phoenix port during the winter, if we could possibly arrive there. That harbor was open to the sea in two directions, but the strong winds did not blow there.

¹³ Then a gentle wind began to blow from the south, and the crew members thought that they could travel as they had decided to do. So they lifted the anchor up out of the sea, and the ship sailed westward along the southern shore of Crete Island.

¹⁴ But after a while, a wind that was very strong blew across the island from the north side and hit the ship. That wind was called { People called that wind} “the Northeast Wind.”

¹⁵ It blew strongly against the front of the ship. The result was that we could not keep going in the direction in which we had been going. So the sailors let the wind move the ship in the direction that the wind was blowing.

¹⁶ The ship then passed a small island named Cauda. We passed along the side of the island that sheltered the ship from the wind. Then while the ship was moving along, the sailors lifted the lifeboat up out of the water and tied it on the deck. But the strong wind made it difficult even to do that.

¹⁷ After the sailors hoisted/lifted the lifeboat onto the ship, they tied ropes around the ship's hull to strengthen the ship. The sailors were afraid that, because the wind was pushing the ship, it might run onto the sandbanks off the coast of Libya to the south and get stuck there. So they lowered the largest sail so that the ship would move slower. Even so, the wind continued to move the ship along. The wind and the waves continued to toss the ship about roughly, so on the next day the sailors began to throw overboard the things that the ship was carrying.

¹⁹ On the third day after the stormy wind had begun to blow, the sailors/we MTY threw overboard most of the sails, ropes, and poles, in order to make the ship lighter.

²⁰ The wind continued to blow very strongly, and the sky was full of dark clouds day and night. We could not see the sun or the stars for many days, so we could not determine where we were. And the wind continued to blow violently. So we (exc) finally thought that we would drown in the sea.

⁷ When 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.

⁸ With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁹ When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them

¹⁰ and 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.”

¹¹ But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹² Because 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.

¹³ When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

¹⁴ But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

¹⁷ After 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.

¹⁸ As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

¹⁹ On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

²⁰ When 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.

⁷ When 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.

⁸ With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁹ When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them

⁷ When 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.

⁸ With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁹ When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them

¹⁰ and 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.”

¹¹ But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹⁴ But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

¹⁷ After 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.

¹⁸ As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

¹⁹ On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

²⁰ When 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.

⁷ And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

⁸ And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.

⁹ And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

¹⁰ Saying, Friends, I see that this journey will be one of great damage and loss, not only to the goods and the ship, but to ourselves.

¹¹ But the captain gave more attention to the master and the owner of the ship than to what Paul said.

¹² And as the harbour was not a good one in which to be for the winter, the greater number of them were for going out to sea, in order, if possible, to put in for the winter at Phoenix, a harbour of Crete, looking to the north-east and south-east.

¹³ And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land.

¹⁴ But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

¹⁵ And when the ship got into the grip of it, and was not able to make headway into the wind, we gave way, and went before it.

¹⁶ And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:

¹⁷ And having got it up, they put cords under and round the ship; but fearing that they might be pushed on to the Syrtis, they let down the sails and so went running before the wind.

¹⁸ And, still fighting the storm with all our strength, the day after they made a start at getting the goods out of the ship;

¹⁹ And on the third day, they let all the sailing apparatus go over the side.

²⁰ And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

⁷ And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone;

⁸ and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.

⁹ And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,

¹⁰ saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹ But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.

¹² And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.

¹³ And the south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.

¹⁴ But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven before it.

¹⁶ But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat;

¹⁷ which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.

¹⁸ But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,

¹⁹ and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.

²⁰ And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.

⁷ And when for many days we had sailed slowly, and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone:

⁸ And with much ado sailing by it, we came into a certain place, which is called Good-havens, nigh to which was the city of Thalassa.

⁹ And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,

¹⁰ Saying to them: Ye men, I see that the voyage beginneth to be with injury and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹ But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.

¹² And whereas it was not a commodious haven to winter in, the greatest part gave counsel to sail thence, if by any means they might reach Phenice to winter there, which is a haven of Crete, looking towards the southwest and northwest.

¹³ And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.

¹⁴ But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.

¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.

¹⁶ And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.

¹⁷ Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.

¹⁸ And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.

¹⁹ And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰ And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.

⁷ And sailing slowly many days, and with difficulty arriving down off Cnidus, since the wind would not permit us to go on, we sailed under the sheltered side of Crete, down off Salmone.

⁸ And with difficulty sailing past it, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁹ Now when much time had been spent, the voyage having already become dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul recommended,

¹⁰ saying to them, “Men, I perceive this voyage is going to be with hardship and much loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship but also our lives.”

¹¹ But the centurion was persuaded by the helmsman and the ship owner, rather than by the things being said by Paul.

¹² And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority gave counsel to put to sea from there, if perhaps they might be able to get to Phoenix to spend the winter there, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and to the northwest.

¹³ And when a south wind blew gently, supposing they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along close in shore to Crete.

¹⁴ But not long after, a head wind like a hurricane arose, called a Euroclydon;

¹⁵ and when the ship was seized by it, and not being able to face into the wind, we were being driven along, having given in to the wind.

¹⁶ And running under the sheltered side of a certain little island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.

¹⁷ And having hoisted it up, they used cables for undergirding the ship; and being afraid lest they run aground in the Syrtes Shallows, they let down the driving anchor, thus they were being driven along by the wind.

¹⁸ And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.

¹⁹ And on the third day we threw off the equipment of the ship with our own hands.

²⁰ And neither the sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, finally all hope for us to be saved was taken away.

⁷ When we had sailed slowly many days and scarcely arrived opposite Cnidus, the wind did not allow us to go forward, so we sailed for the lee of Crete by way of Salmone;

⁸ sailing along it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.

⁹ Much time had been lost and sailing was already dangerous, because even the Fast had already taken place; Paul repeatedly warned them

¹⁰ saying, “Men, I perceive that the voyage is about to be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but even of our lives.”

¹¹ But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and ship owner rather than by what Paul said.

¹² And since the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised sailing on, to see if they could get to Phoenix in order to winter, it being a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest.

¹³ So when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

¹⁴ But not long after, a cyclonic wind blasted down from the land (it is called Euroclydon).

¹⁵ Well the ship was caught and could not head into the wind, so we gave up and were driven along.

¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we barely managed to secure the skiff;

¹⁷ when they had hoisted it aboard, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing that they might fall into the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and so were driven along.

¹⁸ We were being so violently battered by the storm that the next day they began to jettison things,

¹⁹ and on the third we threw off the ship's tackle with our own hands.

²⁰ When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a major storm was still pounding us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.

⁷ We sailed slowly for several days and eventually arrived off Cnidus. But since the winds wouldn't allow us to continue we sailed across to the lee of Crete, near to Salmone.

⁸ With some difficulty we made our way along the coast until we arrived at a place called Fair Havens, near to the town of Lasea.

⁹ We'd lost a lot of time, and the voyage was becoming dangerous because it was now after the Fast. Paul warned them,

¹⁰ “Men, I predict that this voyage will result in much hardship and loss—not just of the cargo and the ship, but also our very lives.”

¹¹ But the centurion paid more attention to the advice of the ship's captain and its owner than to what Paul said.

¹² Since the harbor was not large enough to over-winter in, the majority were in favor of leaving and trying if possible to reach Phoenix and spend the winter there—a harbor in Crete that faces northwest and southwest.

¹³ When a moderate south wind began to blow, they thought they could do what they planned. They pulled up the anchor and sailed close inshore along the coast of Crete.

¹⁴ But it wasn't long before a hurricane-force wind called a “northeaster” blew from the land.

¹⁵ The ship was forced out to sea and could not face into the wind. So we had to give in and allow ourselves to be driven before the wind.

¹⁶ We were eventually able to run into the lee of a small island called Cauda, and managed with some difficulty to secure the ship's boat on board.

¹⁷ After hoisting it aboard, the sailors bound ropes around the hull to strengthen it. Then, worried that they would be wrecked on the Syrtis banks, they lowered the sea anchor and allowed the ship to be driven along.

¹⁸ The following day as we were violently thrown about by the storm, the crew started throwing the cargo overboard.

¹⁹ On the third day they grabbed the ship's gear and tossed it into the sea.

²⁰ We hadn't seen the sun or the stars for many days as the storm beat down on us; so any hope of our being saved was lost.

⁷ And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to Salmone,

⁸ And with much adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea.

⁹ So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them,

¹⁰ And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.

¹¹ Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul.

¹² And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.

¹³ And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.

¹⁴ But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.

¹⁶ And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat.

¹⁷ Which they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.

¹⁸ The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship.

¹⁹ And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰ And when neither sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away.

⁷ And 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;

⁸ and, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

⁹ Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,

¹⁰ and 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.

¹¹ Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹² And 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 a haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.

¹³ And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.

¹⁴ But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

¹⁶ And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

¹⁷ which 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.

¹⁸ And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

¹⁹ and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰ And 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.

⁷ And sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;

⁸ and coasting along it with difficulty we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.

⁹ And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,

¹⁰ saying, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹ But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.

¹² And as the harbor was not well situated for wintering, the greater part advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.

¹³ And when a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete.

¹⁴ But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven along.

¹⁶ And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession of the boat;

¹⁷ which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should run into the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so were driven.

¹⁸ And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;

¹⁹ and the third day we cast out with our own hands the movables of the ship.

²⁰ And as neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved was taken away.

⁷ For several days our progress was slow, and it was only with difficulty that we arrived off Cnidus. As the wind was still unfavorable when we came off Cape Salmone, we sailed under the lee of Crete,

⁸ and with difficulty, by keeping close in shore, we reached a place called ‘Fair Havens,’ near which was the town of Lasea.

⁹ This had taken a considerable time, and sailing was already dangerous, for the Fast was already over; and so Paul gave this warning.

¹⁰ “My friends,” he said, “I see that this voyage will be attended with injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but to our own lives also.”

¹¹ The Roman officer, however, was more influenced by the captain and the owner than by what was said by Paul.

¹² And, as the harbour was not a suitable one to winter in, the majority were in favour of continuing the voyage, in hope of being able to reach Phoenix, and winter there. Phoenix was a Cretan harbour, open to the north-east and south-east.

¹³ So, when a light wind sprang up from the south, thinking that they had found their opportunity, they weighed anchor and kept along the coast of Crete, close in shore.

¹⁴ But shortly afterward a hurricane came down on us off the land — a north-easter, as it is called.

¹⁵ The ship was caught by it and was unable to keep her head to the wind, so we had to give way and let her drive before it.

¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we only just managed to secure the ship's boat,

¹⁷ and, after hoisting it on board, the men frapped the ship. But, afraid of being driven on to the Syrtis Sands, they lowered the yard, and then drifted.

¹⁸ So violently were we tossed about by the storm, that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard,

¹⁹ and, on the following day, threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.

²⁰ As neither sun nor stars were visible for several days, and, as the gale still continued severe, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

⁷ For several days our progress was slow, and it was only with difficulty that we arrived off Cnidus. As the wind was still unfavorable when we came off Cape Salmone, we sailed under the lee of Crete,

⁸ and with difficulty, by keeping close in shore, we reached a place called ‘Fair Havens,’ near which was the town of Lasea.

⁹ This had taken a considerable time, and sailing was already dangerous, for the Fast was already over; and so Paul gave this warning.

¹⁰ “My friends,” he said, “I see that this voyage will be attended with injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but to our own lives also.”

¹¹ The Roman officer, however, was more influenced by the captain and the owner than by what was said by Paul.

¹² And, as the harbor was not a suitable one to winter in, the majority were in favor of continuing the voyage, in hope of being able to reach Phoenix, and winter there. Phoenix was a Cretan harbor, open to the north-east and south-east.

¹³ So, when a light wind sprang up from the south, thinking that they had found their opportunity, they weighed anchor and kept along the coast of Crete, close in shore.

¹⁴ But shortly afterward a hurricane came down on us off the land — a north-easter, as it is called.

¹⁵ The ship was caught by it and was unable to keep her head to the wind, so we had to give way and let her drive before it.

¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we only just managed to secure the ship's boat,

¹⁷ and, after hoisting it on board, the men frapped the ship. But, afraid of being driven on to the Syrtis Sands, they lowered the yard, and then drifted.

¹⁸ So violently were we tossed about by the storm, that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard,

¹⁹ and, on the following day, threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.

²⁰ As neither sun nor stars were visible for several days, and, as the gale still continued severe, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

⁷ We sailed slowly for a few days and then we came close to the coast of Asia country, near a town called Cnidus. After that the wind got very strong. It didn’t let the ship sail straight ahead toward the west, so we sailed toward the south. We sailed along the south side of Crete Island to get away from the wind. We went past Cape Salmone.

⁸ The wind was still strong, so the ship couldn’t sail properly, and we went slowly along the coast of Crete Island until we came to a place called Fair Havens Harbour, near a town called Lasea.

⁹ It took us a long time to get to Fair Havens Harbour. It was already October, and the bad weather was coming soon. If we kept going we might get big trouble from storms. So Paul said to the men in charge of the ship,

¹⁰ “Listen, men, I reckon that if we keep going we will get big trouble. I reckon a storm will wreck this ship and you will lose everything in it, and we might drown too.”

¹¹ But the boss of the soldiers didn’t listen to Paul. He listened to the captain and the owner of the ship.

¹² That place, Fair Havens Harbour, was not a good place to stay in the cold weather time, so most of the people on the ship reckoned we had to leave there and go on a bit further, to a town called Phoenix, and stay there for the cold weather time. The harbour at Phoenix was all right. It was open to the sea in 2 directions, but the strong winds didn’t blow in those directions in the cold weather time.

¹³ We waited at Fair Havens Harbour till the strong wind stopped. Then a little wind started to blow from the south, and the sailors thought that they could sail the ship to Phoenix, so they lifted the anchor, and sailed west along the southern shore of Crete Island.

¹⁴ But after a little while, the wind changed, and a big strong wind blew across the island from the north side, and it pushed the ship to the south, away from the land. (That wind was called the Northeaster.)

¹⁵ The sailors couldn’t steer the ship the right way. The wind kept blowing it the wrong way. So they just let the wind take the ship anywhere.

¹⁶ The ship was towing a little boat behind it. After a little while we went beside a little island called Cauda. That little island blocked the wind a bit, so we could lift the little boat up out of the water and tie it on to the deck of the ship. The strong wind made that a really hard job for us.

¹⁷ After that the sailors tied ropes around the middle of the ship to make it stronger, so the waves wouldn’t break it. The wind was pushing the ship very fast, and the sailors reckoned we might run on to the sandbanks near Libya country, and get stuck there, so they got a big bag on a rope, and they threw it out behind the ship and let it drag in the water. This made the ship slow down a bit, but the wind kept blowing it along.

¹⁸ The wind and the waves kept throwing the ship about. It was very rough. So the next day the sailors wanted to make the ship lighter and they started to throw things overboard. They threw away all the load that the ship was carrying.

¹⁹ On the 3rd day of the storm the sailors even threw overboard a lot of the ship’s own things, like its sails, and poles.

²⁰ The wind kept blowing really hard, and the sky was full of dark clouds all day and all night. We couldn’t see the sun or the stars for a long time, so we didn’t know where we were. And the wind and the waves kept throwing us about, and after some time we thought we were going to drown in the sea.

⁷ And when we had sayled slowly many dayes and scace were come over agaynst Gnydon (because the wynde with stode vs) we sayled harde by the costes of Candy over agaynste Salmo

⁸ and with moche worke sayled beyonde that and came vnto a place called good porte. Nye whervnto was a citie called Lasea.

⁹ When moche tyme was spent and saylinge was now ieoperdeous because also that we had overlonge fasted Paul put them in remembraunce

¹⁰ and sayde vnto them Syrs I perceave that this vyage wilbe with hurte and moche domage not of the ladynge and ship only: but also of oure lyves.

¹¹ Neverthelather the vndercaptayne beleved the governer and the master better then tho thinges which were spoken of Paul.

¹² And because the haven was not comodius to wynter in many toke counsell to departe thence yf by eny meanes they myght attayne to Phenices and there to wynter which is an haven of Candy and servith to the southwest and northwest wynde.

¹³ When the south wynde blewe they supposynge to obtayne their purpose lowsed vnto Asson and sayled paste all Candy.

¹⁴ But anone after ther arose agaynste their purpose a flawe of wynde out of the northeeste.

¹⁵ And when the ship was caught and coulde not resist the wynde we let her goo and drave with the wether.

¹⁶ And we came vnto an yle named Clauda and had moche worke to come by abote

¹⁷ which they toke vp and vsed helpe vndergerdynge the shippe fearynge lest we shuld have fallen into Syrtes and we let doune a vessell and so were caryed.

¹⁸ The nexte daye when we were tossed with an exceadynge tempest they lyghtened the ship

¹⁹ and the thyrde daye we cast out with oure awne hondes the tacklynge of the shippe.

²⁰ When at the last nether sunne nor starre in many dayes appered and no small tempest laye apon vs all hope that we shuld be saved was then taken awaye.

⁷ When we had sailed slowly for many days and had finally arrived with difficulty near Cnidus, the wind no longer allowed us to go that way, so we sailed along the sheltered side of Crete, opposite Salmone.

⁸ We sailed along the coast with difficulty, until we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, which is near the city of Lasea.

⁹ We had now taken much time, the time of the Jewish fast also had passed, and it had now become dangerous to sail. So Paul warned them,

¹⁰ and said, “Men, I see that the voyage we are about to take will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.”

¹¹ But the centurion paid more attention to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things that were spoken by Paul.

¹² Because the harbor was not easy to spend the winter in, most of the sailors advised to sail from there, if by any means we could reach the city of Phoenix, to spend the winter there. Phoenix is a harbor in Crete, and it faces northeast and southeast.

¹³ When the south wind began to blow gently, the sailors thought that they had what they needed. So they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore.

¹⁴ But after a short time a wind of hurricane force, called the northeaster, began to beat down from the island.

¹⁵ When the ship was caught by the storm and could no longer head into the wind, we had to give way to the storm and were driven along by the wind.

¹⁶ We sailed along the lee of a small island called Cauda, and with difficulty we were able to secure the lifeboat.

¹⁷ When they had hoisted the lifeboat up, they used its ropes to bind the hull of the ship. They were afraid that they should run upon the sandbars of Syrtis, so they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.

¹⁸ We took such a violent battering by the storm that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard.

¹⁹ On the third day the sailors threw overboard the ship's equipment with their own hands.

²⁰ When the sun and stars did not shine on us for many days, and the great storm still beat upon us, any more hope that we should be saved was abandoned.

⁷ When 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.

⁸ With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁹ When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them

¹⁰ and 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.”

¹¹ But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹² Because 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.

¹³ When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

¹⁴ But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.

¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

¹⁷ After 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.

¹⁸ As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

¹⁹ On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

²⁰ When 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.

⁷ When 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.

⁸ With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

¹⁸ As we laboured exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

¹⁹ On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

²⁰ When 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.

⁷ And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce had come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone:

⁸ And hardly passing it, came to a place which is called, The fair havens; nigh to which was the city of Lasea.

⁹ Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them .

¹⁰ And said to 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.

¹¹ Nevertheless, the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than the things which were spoken by Paul.

¹² And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is a haven of Crete, and lieth towards the south-west and north-west.

¹³ And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence , they sailed close by Crete.

¹⁴ But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.

¹⁵ And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.

¹⁶ And running under a certain isle which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

¹⁷ Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.

¹⁸ And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;

¹⁹ And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.

²⁰ And 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.

⁷ When 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.

¹⁹ On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

²⁰ When 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.

⁷ And when in many days we sailed slowly, and scarcely came against Cnidus, for the wind hindered us, we sailed to Crete, beside Salmone.

⁸ And scarcely we sailed beside, and came into a place, that is called of good haven, to whom the city Lasea was nigh.

⁹ And when much time was passed, and when sailing then was not secure, for that fasting was passed, Paul comforted them,

¹⁰ and said to them, Men, I see that sailing beginneth to be with wrong and much harm, not only of the charge, and of the ship, but also of our lives.

¹¹ But the centurion believed more to the governor, and to the lord of the ship, than to these things that were said of Paul.

¹² And when the haven was not able for to dwell in winter, full many ordained counsel to sail from thence, if on or in any manner they might come to Phoenix, to dwell in winter at the haven of Crete, which behold-eth to Africa, that is, southwest, and to Corum, that is, northwest.

¹³ And when the south blew, they guessed them to hold purpose; and when they had removed or taken up from Assos, they sailed to Crete.

¹⁴ And not after much time, the wind Tifonyk, that is called northeast, or wind of tempest, was against it.

¹⁵ And when the ship was ravished, and might not endeavour against or into the wind, when the ship was given to the blowings of the wind, we were borne

¹⁶ with course into an isle, that is called Cauda; and scarcely we might get a little boat.

¹⁷ And when this was taken up, they used helps, girding together the ship; and dreaded, lest they should fall into sandy places. And when the vessel was under-set, so they were borne.

¹⁸ And for we were thrown with strong tempest, in the day pursuing they made casting out.

¹⁹ And the third day with their hands they cast away the instruments of the ship.

²⁰ And when neither the sun neither the stars were seen by many days, and tempest not a little nighed, now all the hope of our health was done away.

⁷ And when in many days we sailed slowly, and scarcely came against Cnidus, for the wind hindered us, we sailed to Crete, beside Salmone.

⁸ And scarcely we sailed beside, and came into a place, that is called of good haven, to whom the city Lasea was nigh.

⁹ And when much time was passed, and when sailing then was not secure, for that (the time of) fasting was passed, Paul comforted them (or Paul strengthened them),

¹⁰ and said to them, Men, I see that (the) sailing beginneth to be with wrong and much harm, not only of the charge, and of the ship, but also of our lives, (or not only for the cargo, and for the ship, but also even for our own lives).

¹¹ But the centurion believed more to the governor, and to the lord of the ship, than to these things that were said of Paul. (But the centurion trusted more in what the captain and the owner of the ship said, than what was said by Paul.)

¹² And when the haven was not able for to dwell in (over) winter, full many ordained counsel to sail from thence, if on any manner or if in any manner they might come to Phenice, (for) to dwell in winter at the haven of Crete, which beholdeth to Africa, that is, (to the) southwest, and to Corum, that is, (to the) northwest.

¹³ And when the south blew, they guessed them(selves) to hold purpose; and when they had removed or had taken up from Assos, they sailed to Crete.

¹⁴ And not after much time, the wind Tifonyk, that is called (the) northeast, or (the) wind of tempest, was against it.

¹⁵ And when the ship was ravished, and might not enforce against the wind or into the wind, when the ship was given (over) to the blowings of the wind, we were borne (And when the ship was snatched, or was seized, and could not endeavour against the wind, when the ship was given over to the blowing of the wind, we were borne)

¹⁶ with course into an isle, that is called Cauda; and scarcely we might get a little boat (under control in these circumstances). (with course by an island called Cauda; and we were barely able to control the ship’s little boat under such circumstances.)

¹⁷ And when this (little boat) was taken up, they used helps, girding together the ship; and dreaded (or and feared), lest they should fall into sandy places. And when the vessel was under-set, so they were borne.

¹⁸ And for we were thrown with (a) strong tempest, in the day (pur)suing they made casting out. (And because we were tossed about by a strong tempest, on the following day they began to throw out the cargo.)

¹⁹ And the third day with their hands they cast away the instruments of the ship.

²⁰ And when neither the sun neither the stars were seen by many days, and tempest not a little nighed, now all the hope of our health was done away. (And when neither the sun nor the stars were seen for many days, and a great tempest approached, now all the hope for our deliverance was gone.)

⁷ and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone,

⁸ and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called 'Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city of Lasaea.

⁹ And much time being spent, and the sailing being now dangerous — because of the fast also being already past — Paul was admonishing,

¹⁰ saying to them, 'Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of our lives — the voyage is about to be;'

¹¹ but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave credence more than to the things spoken by Paul;

¹² and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they might be able, having attained to Phenice, there to winter, which is a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and north-west,

¹³ and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained their purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,

¹⁴ and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, that is called Euroclydon,

¹⁵ and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given her up, we were borne on,

¹⁶ and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,

¹⁷ which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand, having let down the mast — so were borne on.

¹⁸ And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding day they were making a clearing,

¹⁹ and on the third day with our own hands the tackling of the ship we cast out,

²⁰ and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken away of our being saved.
