1 Cuando se decidió que navegáramos hacia Italia, entregaron a Pablo y a otros presos a un centurión llamado Julio, de un batallón imperial.
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.
2 Embarcamos en una nave de Adramitia que iba a zarpar hacia los puertos de Asia. Salimos al mar. Aristarco, un macedonio de Tesalónica, nos acompañaba.
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.
3 Al día siguiente atracamos en Sidón. Julio, quien trataba a Pablo con benevolencia, permitió que fuera a sus amigos y recibiera atención.
3 The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Zarpamos de allí y navegamos al abrigo de Chipre, a causa de que los vientos eran contrarios.
4 Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Navegamos a través del mar de Cilicia y Panfilia y arribamos a Mira de Licia.
5 When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 El centurión halló allí una nave alejandrina que navegaba hacia Italia y nos embarcó en ella.
6 There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Navegamos lentamente muchos días. Logramos arribar con dificultad frente a Gnido. El viento no nos permitía avanzar y navegamos al abrigo de Creta hacia Salmón.
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 La costeamos con dificultad y arribamos a Buenos Puertos, cerca de la ciudad de Lasea.
8 With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Transcurrió mucho tiempo y era peligrosa la navegación. Cuando pasó el ayuno, Pablo aconsejaba:
9 When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them
10 Varones, percibo que la navegación será con perjuicio y mucha pérdida, no solo de la carga y de la nave, sino también de nuestras vidas.
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 Pero el centurión ponía más atención al piloto y al propietario de la nave que a lo que Pablo decía.
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 Como el puerto no era adecuado para pasar el invierno, la mayoría decidió zarpar de allí, para ver si podían arribar a Fenice, puerto de Creta que mira hacia el suroeste y el noroeste, y pasar allí el invierno.
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 Cuando comenzó un suave viento del sur, consideraron que habían logrado el propósito, levantaron anclas y costeaban Creta.
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 Pero poco después el viento huracanado llamado Euraquilón azotó la nave.
14 But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Fue violentamente arrebatada, y no se pudo colocar la proa al viento. Cedimos a la [tempestad] y éramos llevados a la deriva.
15 When the ship was caught and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Navegamos al abrigo de una islita llamada Cauda y difícilmente logramos controlar el bote salvavidas.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Lo levantaron con cuerdas para atarlo a la nave. Temían que encallaran en la Sirte. Echaron el ancla flotante y se abandonaron a la deriva.
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 El día siguiente, como fuimos sacudidos furiosamente por la tempestad, echaron parte de la carga.
18 As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Al tercer [día], echaron los equipos de la nave con sus propias manos.
19 On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.
20 Durante muchos días no apareció el sol ni estrellas. Una gran tempestad cayó sobre nosotros. Perdimos toda esperanza de salvarnos.
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.
21 Había mucha abstinencia. Pablo se puso en pie y dijo: ¡Varones! Era necesario obedecer mi consejo y no zarpar de Creta para evitar este daño y esta pérdida.
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.
22 Pero ahora les aconsejo que tengan buen ánimo, pues ninguno perderá la vida. Solo se perderá la nave.
22 Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Porque anoche me vino un ángel de Dios, a Quien sirvo y pertenezco,
23 For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 quien me dijo: No temas, Pablo. Tienes que comparecer ante César, y mira, Dios te concedió [la vida] de todos los que navegan contigo.
24 saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Por tanto, oh varones, tengan buen ánimo, porque creo a Dios que será así como me habló.
25 Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Tendremos que encallar en alguna isla.
26 But we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Cuando llegó la décimacuarta noche, al ser llevados nosotros a la deriva en el Adriático, a la media noche, los marineros sospechaban que estaban cerca de una tierra.
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.
28 Echaron una sonda y hallaron 36,6 metros. Después navegaron un poco más adelante y echaron otra vez la sonda. Hallaron 27,45 metros.
28 They took soundings and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Teníamos el temor de encallar en algún lugar rocoso. Lanzaron cuatro anclas desde [la] popa y ansiaban que amaneciera.
29 Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Los marineros trataron de huir de la nave. Habían bajado el bote salvavidas al mar con el pretexto de soltar anclas desde [la] proa.
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,
31 Pablo advirtió al centurión y a los soldados: Si los marineros no permanecen en la nave, ustedes no se salvarán.
31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”
32 Entonces los soldados cortaron las cuerdas del bote salvavidas y dejaron que se perdiera.
32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat and let it fall off.
33 Y mientras llegaba el día, Pablo exhortaba a todos a recibir alimento: Hoy cumplimos 14 días de estar expectantes continuamente sin comer algo.
33 While the day was coming on, Paul begged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Por tanto, les ruego que coman algo, pues es bueno para su preservación, porque ni un cabello de su cabeza se perderá.
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.”
35 Cuando dijo esto, partió pan, dio gracias a Dios en presencia de todos, y comenzó a comer.
35 When he had said this and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Entonces todos se animaron y comieron.
36 Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Había un total de 276 personas en la nave.
37 In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Cuando comimos, echaron el trigo al mar para aligerar la nave.
38 When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Cuando amaneció, no conocían la tierra. Veían una bahía que tenía playa. Decidieron, si les era posible, sacar allí la nave.
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.
40 Al cortar [las] anclas, las dejaron en el mar. Soltaron al mismo tiempo las cuerdas de los timones. Cuando izaron la vela de proa al viento, enfilaron hacia la playa.
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.
41 Pero al caer en un lugar de corrientes cruzadas, encallaron la nave. Mientras la proa se clavó y quedó inmóvil, la popa era azotada por la violencia [de las olas].
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.
42 Un plan de los soldados era matar a los presos para que ninguno se escapara nadando.
42 The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 Pero el centurión, quien se propuso salvar a Pablo, impidió el plan. Mandó que los que podían nadar, se lanzaran primero por la borda y salieran a la tierra,
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;
44 y los demás, unos en tablones, y otros en algunos de los objetos de la nave. Así todos llegamos salvos a tierra.
44 and the rest should follow, some on planks and some on other things from the ship. So they all escaped safely to the land.
