1 우리의 배 타고 이달리야로 갈 일이 작정되매 바울과 다른 죄수 몇 사람을 아구사도대의 백부장 율리오란 사람에게 맡기니
2 아시아 해변 각처로 가려 하는 아드라뭇데노 배에 우리가 올라 행선할새 마게도냐의 데살로니가 사람 아리스다고도 함께 하니라
3 이튿날 시돈에 대니 율리오가 바울을 친절히 하여 친구들에게 가서 대접받음을 허락하더니
4 또 거기서 우리가 떠나가다가 바람의 거스림을 피하여 구브로 해안을 의지하고 행선하여
5 길리기아와 밤빌리아 바다를 건너 루기아의 무라성에 이르러
6 거기서 백부장이 이달리야로 가려 하는 알렉산드리아 배를 만나 우리를 오르게 하니
7 배가 더디 가 여러 날만에 간신히 니도 맞은 편에 이르러 풍세가 더 허락지 아니하므로 살모네 앞을 지나 그레데 해안을 의지하고 행선하여
8 간신히 그 연안을 지나 미항이라는 곳에 이르니 라새아성에서 가깝더라
9 여러 날이 걸려 금식하는 절기가 이미 지났으므로 행선하기가 위태한지라 바울이 저희를 권하여
10 말하되 `여러분이여, 내가 보니 이번 행선이 하물과 배만 아니라 우리 생명에도 타격과 많은 손해가 있으리라' 하되
11 백부장이 선장과 선주의 말을 바울의 말보다 더 믿더라
12 그 항구가 과동하기에 불편하므로 거기서 떠나 아무쪼록 뵈닉스에 가서 과동하자 하는 자가 더 많으니 뵈닉스는 그레데 항구라 한 편은 동북을,한 편은 동남을 향하였더라
13 남풍이 순하게 불매 저희가 득의한 줄 알고 닻을 감아 그레데 해변을 가까이 하고 행선하더니
14 얼마 못되어 섬 가운데로서 유라굴로라는 광풍이 대작하니
15 배가 밀려 바람을 맞추어 갈 수 없어 가는 대로 두고 쫓겨가다가
16 가우다라는 작은 섬 아래로 지나 간신히 거루를 잡아
17 끌어 올리고 줄을 가지고 선체를 둘러 감고 스르디스에 걸릴까 두려워 연장을 내리고 그냥 쫓겨가더니
18 우리가 풍랑으로 심히 애쓰다가 이튿날 사공들이 짐을 바다에 풀어 버리고
19 사흘째 되는 날에 배의 기구를 저희 손으로 내어 버리니라
20 여러 날 동안 해와 별이 보이지 아니하고 큰 풍랑이 그대로 있으매 구원의 여망이 다 없어졌더라
21 여러 사람이 오래 먹지 못하였으매 바울이 가운데 서서 말하되 여러분이여 내 말을 듣고 그레데에서 떠나지 아니하여 이 타격과 손상을 면하였더면 좋을 뻔하였느니라
22 내가 너희를 권하노니 이제는 안심하라 너희 중 생명에는 아무 손상이 없겠고 오직 배뿐이리라
23 나의 속한 바 곧 나의 섬기는 하나님의 사자가 어제 밤에 내 곁에 서서 말하되
24 바울아 두려워 말라 네가 가이사 앞에 서야 하겠고 또 하나님께서 너와 함께 행선하는 자를 다 네게 주셨다 하였으니
25 그러므로 여러분이여 안심하라 나는 내게 말씀하신 그대로 되리라 !고 하나님을 믿노라
26 그러나 우리가 한 섬에 걸리리라 하더라
27 열 나흘째 되는 날 밤에 우리가 아드리아 바다에 이리저리 쫓겨 가더니 밤중쯤 되어 사공들이 어느 육지에 가까와지는 줄을 짐작하고
28 물을 재어보니 이십 길이 되고 조금 가다가 다시 재니 열 다섯 길이라
29 암초에 걸릴까 하여 고물로 닻 넷을 주고 날이 새기를 고대하더니
30 사공들이 도망하고자 하여 이물에서 닻을 주려는 체하고 거루를 바다에 내려놓거늘
31 바울이 백부장과 군사들에게 이르되 `이 사람들이 배에 있지 아니하면 너희가 구원을 얻지 못하리라' 하니
32 이에 군사들이 거룻 줄을 끊어 떼어 버리니라
33 날이 새어 가매 바울이 여러 사람을 음식 먹으라 권하여 가로되 너희가 기다리고 기다리며 먹지 못하고 주린 지가 오늘까지 열 나흘인즉
34 음식 먹으라 권하노니 이것이 너희 구원을 위하는 것이요 너희 중 머리터럭 하나라도 잃을 자가 없느니라 하고
35 떡을 가져다가 모든 사람 앞에서 하나님께 축사하고 떼어 먹기를 시작하매
36 저희도 다 안심하고 받아 먹으니
37 배에 있는 우리의 수는 전부 이백 칠십 륙 인이러라
38 배부르게 먹고 밀을 바다에 버려 배를 가볍게 하였더니
39 날이 새매 어느 땅인지 알지 못하나 경사 진 해안으로 된 항만이 눈에 띄거늘 배를 거기에 들여다 댈 수 있는가 의논한 후
40 닻을 끊어 바다에 버리는 동시에 킷줄을 늦추고 돛을 달고 바람을 맞추어 해안을 향하여 들어가다가
41 두 물이 합하여 흐르는 곳을 당하여 배를 걸매 이물은 부딪혀 움직일 수 없이 붙고 고물은 큰 물결에 깨어져 가니
42 군사들은 죄수가 헤엄쳐서 도망할까 하여 저희를 죽이는 것이 좋다 하였으나
43 백부장이 바울을 구원하려 하여 저희의 뜻을 막고 헤엄칠 줄 아는 사람들을 명하여 물에 뛰어 내려 먼저 육지에 나가게 하고
44 그 남은 사람들은 널조각 혹은 배 물건에 의지하여 나가게 하니 마침내 사람들이 다 상륙하여 구원을 얻으니라
1 And 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 And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us. 3 And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself. 4 And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein. 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. 21 And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss. 22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve, 24 saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Cæsar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee. 25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me. 26 But we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the sea of Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country: 28 and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms. 29 And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship, 31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. 32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. 33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing. 34 Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you. 35 And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat. 36 Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food. 37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea. 39 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it. 40 And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. 41 But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence of the waves. 42 And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape. 43 But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land; 44 and the rest, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
