1 When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.1 And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.1 When it was decided that we should sail to Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were turned over to an army officer. His name was Julius, and he belonged to the emperor's division.1 When 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.1 But when it had been determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered up Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion, by name Julius, of Augustus' company.
2 And embarking in an Adramyttian ship, which was about to sail to the regions along the coast of Asia, we put out to sea accompanied by Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica.2 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.2 We set sail on a ship from the city of Adramyttium. The ship was going to stop at ports on the coast of the province of Asia. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from the city of Thessalonica, went with us.2 Embarking 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.2 And going on board a ship of Adramyttium about to navigate by the places along Asia, we set sail, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 The next day we put in at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul with consideration and allowed him to go to his friends and receive care.3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.3 The next day we arrived at the city of Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to visit his friends and receive any care he needed.3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.3 And the next day we arrived at Sidon. And Julius treated Paul kindly and suffered him to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 From there we put out to sea and sailed under the shelter of Cyprus because the winds were contrary.4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.4 Leaving Sidon, we sailed on the northern side of the island of Cyprus because we were traveling against the wind.4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.4 And setting sail thence we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 When we had sailed through the sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.5 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.5 We sailed along the coast of the provinces of Cilicia and Pamphylia and arrived at the city of Myra in the province of Lycia.5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.5 And having sailed over the waters of Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra in Lycia:

6 There the centurion found an Alexandrian ship sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.6 In Myra the officer found a ship from Alexandria that was on its way to Italy and put us on it.6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.6 and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.
7 When we had sailed slowly for a good many days, and with difficulty had arrived off Cnidus, since the wind did not permit us to go farther, we sailed under the shelter of Crete, off Salmone;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;7 We were sailing slowly for a number of days. Our difficulties began along the coast of the city of Cnidus because the wind would not let us go further. So at Cape Salmone, we started to sail for the south side of the island of Crete.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.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 with difficulty sailing past it we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.8 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.8 We had difficulty sailing along the shore of Crete. We finally came to a port called Fair Harbors. The port was near the city of Lasea.8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.8 and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
9 When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them,9 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,9 We had lost so much time that the day of fasting had already past. Sailing was now dangerous, so Paul advised them,9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,9 And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,
10 and said to them, "Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."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.10 "Men, we're going to face a disaster and heavy losses on this voyage. This disaster will cause damage to the cargo and the ship, and it will affect our lives."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."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 was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul.11 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.11 However, the officer was persuaded by what the pilot and the owner of the ship said and not by what Paul said.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.11 But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.
12 Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.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.12 Since the harbor was not a good place to spend the winter, most of the men decided to sail from there. They hoped to reach the city of Phoenix somehow and spend the winter there. (Phoenix is a harbor that faces the southwest and northwest winds and is located on the island of Crete.)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 northeast and southeast.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 When a moderate south wind came up, supposing that they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore.13 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.13 When a gentle breeze began to blow from the south, the men thought their plan would work. They raised the anchor and sailed close to the shore of Crete.13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.13 And the south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.
Shipwreck
14 But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called Euraquilo;14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.14 Soon a powerful wind (called a northeaster) blew from the island.14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.14 But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.
15 and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be driven along.15 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.15 The wind carried the ship away, and we couldn't sail against the wind. We couldn't do anything, so we were carried along by the wind.15 When the ship was caught, and couldn't face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.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 Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship's boat under control.16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:16 As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we barely got control of the ship's lifeboat.16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.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 After they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.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.17 The men pulled it up on deck. Then they passed ropes under the ship to reinforce it. Fearing that they would hit the large sandbank off the shores of Libya, they lowered the sail and were carried along by the wind.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.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 The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo;18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;18 We continued to be tossed so violently by the storm that the next day the men began to throw the cargo overboard.18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.18 But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,
19 and on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.19 On the third day they threw the ship's equipment overboard.19 On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.19 and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.
20 Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned.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.20 For a number of days we couldn't see the sun or the stars. The storm wouldn't let up. It was so severe that we finally began to lose any hope of coming out of it alive.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.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.

21 When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, "Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss.21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.21 Since hardly anyone wanted to eat, Paul stood among them and said, "Men, you should have followed my advice not to sail from Crete. You would have avoided this disaster and loss.21 When 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.21 And when they had been a long while without taking food, Paul then standing up in the midst of them said, Ye ought, O men, to have hearkened to me, and not have made sail from Crete and have gained this disaster and loss.
22 "Yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.22 Now I advise you to have courage. No one will lose his life. Only the ship will be destroyed.22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.22 And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of any of you, only of the ship.
23 "For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me,23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,23 I know this because an angel from the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood by me last night.23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,23 For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
24 saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.'24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.24 The angel told me, 'Don't be afraid, Paul! You must present your case to the emperor. God has granted safety to everyone who is sailing with you.'24 saying, 'Don't be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee.
25 "Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.25 So have courage, men! I trust God that everything will turn out as he told me.25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.25 Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.

26 "But we must run aground on a certain island."26 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.26 However, we will run aground on some island."26 But we must run aground on a certain island."26 But we must be cast ashore on a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land.27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;27 On the fourteenth night we were still drifting through the Mediterranean Sea. About midnight the sailors suspected that we were approaching land.27 But 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.27 And when the fourteenth night was come, we being driven about in Adria, towards the middle of the night the sailors supposed that some land neared them,
28 They took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took another sounding and found it to be fifteen fathoms.28 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.28 So they threw a line with a weight on it into the water. It sank 120 feet. They waited a little while and did the same thing again. This time the line sank 90 feet.28 They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.28 and having sounded found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther and having again sounded they found fifteen fathoms;
29 Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.29 Fearing we might hit rocks, they dropped four anchors from the back of the ship and prayed for morning to come.29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.29 and fearing lest we should be cast on rocky places, casting four anchors out of the stern, they wished that day were come.
30 But as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship and had let down the ship's boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending to lay out anchors from the bow,30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,30 The sailors tried to escape from the ship. They let the lifeboat down into the sea and pretended they were going to lay out the anchors from the front of the ship.30 As 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,30 But the sailors wishing to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea under pretext of being about to carry out anchors from the prow,

31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved."31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.31 Paul told the officer and the soldiers, "If these sailors don't stay on the ship, you have no hope of staying alive."31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you can't be saved."31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these abide in the ship ye cannot be saved.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it fall away.32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.32 Then the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and let it drift away.32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let her fall.
33 Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing.33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.33 Just before daybreak Paul was encouraging everyone to have something to eat. "This is the fourteenth day you have waited and have had nothing to eat.33 While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.33 And while it was drawing on to daylight, Paul exhorted them all to partake of food, saying, Ye have passed the fourteenth day watching in expectation without taking food.
34 "Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish."34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.34 So I'm encouraging you to eat something. Eating will help you survive, since not a hair from anyone's head will be lost."34 Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."34 Wherefore I exhort you to partake of food, for this has to do with your safety; for not a hair from the head of any one of you shall perish.
35 Having said this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it and began to eat.35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.35 After Paul said this, he took some bread, thanked God in front of everyone, broke it, and began to eat.35 When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.35 And, having said these things and taken a loaf, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken it began to eat.

36 All of them were encouraged and they themselves also took food.36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.36 Everyone was encouraged and had something to eat.36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.36 And all taking courage, themselves also took food.
37 All of us in the ship were two hundred and seventy-six persons.37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.37 (There were 276 of us on the ship.)37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.37 And we were in the ship, all the souls, two hundred and seventy-six.
38 When they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.38 After the people had eaten all they wanted, they lightened the ship by dumping the wheat into the sea.38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.38 And having satisfied themselves with food, they lightened the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
39 When day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could.39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.39 In the morning they couldn't recognize the land, but they could see a bay with a beach. So they decided to try to run the ship ashore.39 When 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.39 And when it was day they did not recognise the land; but they perceived a certain bay having a strand, on which they were minded, if they should be able, to run the ship ashore;
40 And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach.40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.40 They cut the anchors free and left them in the sea. At the same time they untied the ropes that held the steering oars. Then they raised the top sail to catch the wind and steered the ship to the shore.40 Casting 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.40 and, having cast off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the lashings of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the strand.

41 But striking a reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves.41 And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.41 They struck a sandbar in the water and ran the ship aground. The front of the ship stuck and couldn't be moved, while the back of the ship was broken to pieces by the force of the waves.41 But 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.41 And falling into a place where two seas met they ran the ship aground, and the prow having stuck itself fast remained unmoved, but the stern was broken by the force of the waves.
42 The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim away and escape;42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.42 The soldiers had a plan to kill the prisoners to keep them from swimming away and escaping.42 The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.42 And the counsel of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim off and escape.
43 but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land,43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:43 However, the officer wanted to save Paul, so he stopped the soldiers from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and swim ashore.43 But 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;43 But the centurion, desirous of saving Paul, hindered them of their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, casting themselves first into the sea, to get out on land;
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land.44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.44 Then he ordered the rest to follow on planks or some other pieces [of wood] from the ship. In this way everyone got to shore safely.44 and the rest should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.44 and the rest, some on boards, some on some of the things that came from the ship; and thus it came to pass that all got safe to land.
