Deeds (Act) of Apostles 27:7-20

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

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

⁹And 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),

¹⁰and 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).

¹¹But 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.)

¹²And 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.

¹³And 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.

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

¹⁵And 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)

¹⁶with 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.)

¹⁷And 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.

¹⁸And 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.)

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

²⁰And 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.)
