1 And when it was determined that he should sail into Italy, and that Paul, with the other prisoners, should be delivered to a centurion, named Julius, of the band Augusta,
1 MAS como fué determinado que habíamos de navegar para Italia, entregaron á Pablo y á algunos otros presos á un centurión, llamado Julio, de la compañía Augusta.
2 Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
2 Así que, embarcándonos en una nave Adrumentina, partimos, estando con nosotros Aristarco, Macedonio de Tesalónica, para navegar junto á los lugares de Asia.
3 And the day following we came to Sidon. And Julius treating Paul courteously, permitted him to go to his friends, and to take care of himself.
3 Y otro día llegamos á Sidón; y Julio, tratando á Pablo con humanidad, permitióle que fuese á los amigos, para ser de ellos asistido.
4 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
4 Y haciéndonos á la vela desde allí, navegamos bajo de Cipro, porque los vientos eran contrarios.
5 And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
5 Y habiendo pasado la mar de Cilicia y Pamphylia, arribamos á Mira, ciudad de Licia.
6 And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.
6 Y hallando allí el centurión una nave Alejandrina que navegaba á Italia, nos puso en ella.
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:
7 Y navegando muchos días despacio, y habiendo apenas llegado delante de Gnido, no dejándonos el viento, navegamos bajo de Creta, junto á Salmón.
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.
8 Y costeándola difícilmente, llegamos á un lugar que llaman Buenos Puertos, cerca del cual estaba la ciudad de Lasea.
9 And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
9 Y pasado mucho tiempo, y siendo ya peligrosa la navegación, porque ya era pasado el ayuno, Pablo amonestaba,
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.
10 Diciéndoles: Varones, veo que con trabajo y mucho daño, no sólo de la cargazón y de la nave, mas aun de nuestras personas, habrá de ser la navegación.
11 But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
11 Mas el centurión creía más al piloto y al patrón de la nave, que á lo que Pablo decía.
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.
12 Y no habiendo puerto cómodo para invernar, muchos acordaron pasar aún de allí, por si pudiesen arribar á Fenice é invernar [allí], [que es] un puerto de Creta que mira al Nordeste y Sudeste.
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.
13 Y soplando el austro, pareciéndoles que ya tenían lo que deseaban, alzando [velas], iban cerca de la costa de Creta.
14 But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
14 Mas no mucho después dió en ella un viento repentino, que se llama Euroclidón.
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.
15 Y siendo arrebatada la nave, y no pudiendo resistir contra el viento, [la] dejamos, y éramos llevados.
16 And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
16 Y habiendo corrido á sotavento de una pequeña isla que se llama Clauda, apenas pudimos ganar el esquife:
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.
17 El cual tomado, usaban de remedios, ciñendo la nave; y teniendo temor de que diesen en la Sirte, abajadas las velas, eran así llevados.
18 And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
18 Mas siendo atormentados de una vehemente tempestad, al siguiente día alijaron;
19 And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
19 Y al tercer día nosotros con nuestras manos arrojamos los aparejos de la nave.
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.
20 Y no pareciendo sol ni estrellas por muchos días, y viniendo una tempestad no pequeña, ya era perdida toda la esperanza de nuestra salud.
21 And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.
21 Entonces Pablo, habiendo ya mucho que no comíamos, puesto en pie en medio de ellos, dijo: Fuera de cierto conveniente, oh varones, haberme oído, y no partir de Creta, y evitar este inconveniente y daño.
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 only of the ship.
22 Mas ahora os amonesto que tengáis buen ánimo; porque ninguna pérdida habrá de persona de vosotros, sino solamente de la nave.
23 For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
23 Porque esta noche ha estado conmigo el ángel del Dios del cual yo soy, y al cual sirvo,
24 Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
24 Diciendo: Pablo, no temas; es menester que seas presentado delante de César; y he aquí, Dios te ha dado todos los que navegan contigo.
25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
25 Por tanto, oh varones, tened buen ánimo; porque yo confío en Dios que será así como me ha dicho;
26 And we must come unto a certain island.
26 Si bien es menester que demos en una isla.
27 But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
27 Y venida la décimacuarta noche, y siendo llevados por el [mar] Adriático, los marineros á la media noche sospecharon que estaban cerca de alguna tierra;
28 Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.
28 Y echando la sonda, hallaron veinte brazas; y pasando un poco más adelante, volviendo á echar la sonda, hallaron quince brazas.
29 Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
29 Y habiendo temor de dar en lugares escabrosos, echando cuatro anclas de la popa, deseaban que se hiciese de día.
30 But as the shipmen sought to fly out of the ship, having let down the boat into the sea, under colour, as though they would have cast anchors out of the forepart of the ship,
30 Entonces procurando los marineros huir de la nave, echado que hubieron el esquife á la mar, aparentando como que querían largar las anclas de proa,
31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
31 Pablo dijo al centurión y á los soldados: Si éstos no quedan en la nave, vosotros no podéis salvaros.
32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
32 Entonces los soldados cortaron los cabos del esquife, y dejáronlo perder.
33 And when it began to be light, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying: This day is the fourteenth day that you have waited, and continued fasting, taking nothing.
33 Y como comenzó á ser de día, Pablo exhortaba á todos que comiesen, diciendo: Este es el décimocuarto día que esperáis y permanecéis ayunos, no comiendo nada.
34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat for your health’s sake; for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish.
34 Por tanto, os ruego que comáis por vuestra salud: que ni aun un cabello de la cabeza de ninguno de vosotros perecerá.
35 And when he had said these things, taking bread, he gave thanks to God in the sight of them all; and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
35 Y habiendo dicho esto, tomando el pan, hizo gracias á Dios en presencia de todos, y partiendo, comenzó á comer.
36 Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.
36 Entonces todos teniendo ya mejor ánimo, comieron ellos también.
37 And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
37 Y éramos todas las personas en la nave doscientas setenta y seis.
38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
38 Y satisfechos de comida, aliviaban la nave, echando el grano á la mar.
39 And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.
39 Y como se hizo de día, no conocían la tierra: mas veían un golfo que tenía orilla, al cual acordaron echar, si pudiesen, la nave.
40 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.
40 Cortando pues las anclas, las dejaron en la mar, largando también las ataduras de los gobernalles; y alzada la vela mayor al viento, íbanse á la orilla.
41 And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.
41 Mas dando en un lugar de dos aguas, hicieron encallar la nave; y la proa, hincada, estaba sin moverse, y la popa se abría con la fuerza de la mar.
42 And the soldiers’ counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
42 Entonces el acuerdo de los soldados era que matasen los presos, porque ninguno se fugase nadando.
43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, forbade it to be done; and he commanded that they who could swim, should cast themselves first into the sea, and save themselves, and get to land.
43 Mas el centurión, queriendo salvar á Pablo, estorbó este acuerdo, y mandó que los que pudiesen nadar, se echasen los primeros, y saliesen á tierra;
44 And the rest, some they carried on boards, and some on those things that belonged to the ship. And so it came to pass, that every soul got safe to land.
44 Y los demás, parte en tablas, parte en cosas de la nave. Y así aconteció que todos se salvaron [saliendo] á tierra.
