Ang Salita ng Diyos

Naglayag si Pablo Papunta sa Roma

27 Nang ipasiya na kami ay maglalayag na patungong Italia, si Pablo at ang ibang mga bilanggo ay ibinigay sa isang kapitan. Ang pangalan ng senturyon ay Julio, mula sa balangay ng Emperador Augusto.

2 Sumakay kami sa isang barko na mula sa Adrameto. Ito ay maglalayag na sa mga dakong nasa Asya. Kasama namin si Aristarco na isang taga-Macedonia mula sa Tesalonica.

3 Nang sumunod na araw, dumaong kami sa Sidon. Si Julio ay nagpakita ng kagandahang-loob kay Pablo. Pinahintulutan niya siyang pumunta sa kaniyang mga kaibigan upang matanggap niya ang kanilang pagmamalasakit. 4 Nang kami ay maglayag muli buhat doon, naglayag kaming nanganganlong sa Chipre sapagkat pasalungat ang hangin. 5 Nang matawid na namin ang dagat na nasa tapat ng Cilicia at Pamfilia, dumating kami sa Mira ng Licia. 6 Doon ay nasumpungan ng kapitan ang isang barko na mula sa Alexandria. Ito ay maglalayag patungong Italia. Inilulan niya kami roon. 7 Maraming araw kaming naglayag na marahan at may kahirapan naming narating ang tapat ng Cinido. Hindi kami tinulutan ng hangin na makasulong pa kaya naglayag kami na nanganganlong sa Creta. Ito ay nasa tapat ng Salmonte. 8 Sa pamamaybay namin dito, may kahirapan kaming nakarating sa isang dakong tinatawag na Mabuting Daungan. Malapit doon ang lungsod ng Lasea.

9 Nang makalipas ang mahabang panahon, ang paglalayag ay nagiging mapanganib na. At dahil ang pag-aayuno ay nakalampas na, pinayuhan sila ni Pablo. 10 Sinabi sa kanila: Mga ginoo, nakikinita kong ang paglalayag na ito ay makaka­pinsala at magiging malaking kawalan. Hindi lamang sa lulan at sa barko kundi sa atin ding mga buhay. 11 Ngunit higitna pinaniwalaan ng kapitan ang taga-ugit at ang may-aring barko kaysa sa mga sinabi ni Pablo. 12 Sa dahilang hindi mabuting hintuan sa tag-ulan ang daungan, ipinayo ng nakakarami na maglayag na mula roon. Nagbabaka-sakali silang sa anumang paraan ay makarating sila sa Fenix. Doon nila gugugulin ang tag-ulan. At iyon ay daungan ng Cretana nakaharap sa dakong timugang-kanluran at hilagang-kanluran.

Ang Malakas na Bagyo

13 Nang marahang umihip ang hanging timugan, inakala nilang maisasagawa nila ang kanilang hangarin. Itinaas nila ang angkla at namaybay sa baybayin ng Creta.

14 Ngunit hindi nagtagal, humampas doon ang malakas na hangin na tinatawag na Euroclidon. 15 Nang hinampas ng hangin ang barko at hindi makasalungat sa hangin, nagpadala na lang kami sa hangin. 16 Kami ay nagkubli sa isang maliit na pulo na tinatawagna Clauda. At nahirapan kami na isampa ang bangkang-pangkagipitan. 17 Nang maisampa na ito, guma­mit sila ng mga pantulong. Tinalian nila ang ibaba ng barko. At sa takot na baka masadsad sa look ng Sirte, ibinaba nila ang mga layag at sa gayon ay nagpaanod sila. 18 Ngunit patuloy kaming hinahampas at ipinapadpad ng lubhang malakas na hangin sa magkabila. Kinabukasan, nagsimula na silang magtapon ng kanilang lulan sa dagat. 19 Nang ikatlong araw, itinapon ng aming mga kamay ang mga kagamitan ng barko. 20 At maraming araw na hindi namin nakita ang araw ni ang mga bituin man. Napakalakas na bagyo ang dumaan sa amin kaya nawalan na kami ng pag-asa na makakaligtas pa.

21 Nang matagal na silang hindi kumain, tumayo nga si Pablo sa kanilang kalagitnaan. Sinabi niya: Mga ginoo, nakinig sana kayo sa akin at hindi tayo naglayag muli sa Creta. Kung nakinig sana kayo, hindi natin nakamtan ang kapinsalaan at ang kawalang ito. 22 Ngayon, ipinapayo ko sa inyo na lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob sapagkat walang buhay na mapapa­hamak sa inyo kundi ang barko lamang. 23 Ito ay sapagkat ngayong gabi tumayo sa tabi ko ang isang anghel mula sa Diyos na nagmamay-ari sa akin at siyang aking pinaglilingkuran. 24 Sinabi niya: Pablo, huwag kang matakot. Kinakailangang humarap ka kay Cesar. Narito, ipinagkaloob sa iyo ng Diyos ang lahat ng kasama mo sa paglalayag. 25 Kaya nga, mga ginoo lakasan ninyo ang inyong loob sapagkat sumasampalataya ako sa Diyos at mangyayari ang ayon sa sinalita sa akin. 26 Ngunit kailangang tayo ay mapasadsad sa isang pulo.

Nawasak ang Barko

27 Nang sumapit ang ikalabing-apat na gabi, ipinadpad kami ng hangin paroo’t parito sa Adriatico. Nang maghahating gabi na, inakala ng mga magdaragat na nalalapit na sila sa isang lupain.

28 Tinarok nila at nasumpungang may dala­wampung dipa ang lalim. Nang makalayo sila ng kaunti, muli nilang tinarok at nasumpungang may labinlimang dipa ang lalim. 29 Sa takot nilang mapasadsad sa batuhan, naghulog sila ng apat na angkla sa hulihan. Hinahangad nila na mag-umaga na sana. 30 Ngunit nagpupumilit ang mga magdaragat na makatakas sa barko. Nagpakunyari sila na ihuhulog nila ang mga angkla sa unahan. 31 Sinabi ni Pablo sa kapitan at sa mga kawal: Maliban na manatili ang mga ito sa barko, kayo ay hindi makakaligtas. 32 Kaya pinutol ng mga kawal ang mga lubid ng bangkang-pangkagipitan at pinabayaan itong mahulog.

33 Nang mag-uumaga na, ipinamanhik ni Pablo sa lahat na kumain. Sinabi niya: Ngayon ay ikalabing-apat na araw na kayo ay naghihintay. Hindi kayo kumakain at walang tina­tanggap na anuman. 34 Kaya nga, ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo na kayo ay kumain dahil ito ay makakatulong na makalagpas kayo sa sakunang ito. Ito ay sapagkat isa mang buhok ay hindi malalagas mula sa ulo ng sinuman sa inyo. 35 Nang masabi na niya ang mga bagay na ito, kumuha siya ng tinapay. Nagpasalamat siya sa Diyos sa harapan ng lahat. Pinagputul-putol niya ito at nagsimulang kumain. 36 Nang magkagayon, lumakas ang loob ng lahat. Sila namang lahat ay kumuha din ng pagkain. 37 Kaming lahat na nasa barko ay dalawang daan at pitumpu’t anim na kaluluwa. 38 Nang mabusog na sila, pinagaan nila ang barko. Itinapon nila sa dagat ang trigo.

39 Kinabukasan, hindi nila makilala ang lupain. Ngunit nabanaagan nila ang isang look ng dagat na may baybayin. Sila ay nag-usap kung maaari nilang maisadsad ang barko mula doon. 40 Pinutol nila ang lubid ng angkla at pinabayaan nila sa dagat. Kasabay nito ay kinakalag nila ang mga tali ng mga timon. Pagkataas ng layag sa unahan ay tinungo nila ang pampang paayon sa ihip ng hangin. 41 Ngunit pagdating sa isang dako na pinagsasalubungan ng dalawang dagat, isinadsad nila ang unahan ng barko. Ito ay tumigil at hindi na kumikilos. Ngunit nagpasimulang mawasak ang hulihan dahil sa kalakasan ng mga alon.

42 Ang balak ng mga kawal ay pagpapatayin ang mga bilanggo. Baka mayroong makalangoy palayo at makatakas. 43 Subalit sa kagustuhang ng kapitan na iligtas si Pablo, ay pinigil niya sila sa gusto nilang gawin. Iniutos niya sa kanila: Sinuman ang marunong lumangoy ay tumalon nang una at nang makarating sa lupa. 44 Sa mga naiwan, ang iba ay sa mga tabla at ang iba naman ay sa mga bagay na galing sa barko. Sa ganitong paraan, ang lahat ay nakarating nang ligtas hanggang sa lupa.

The Voyage to Rome Begins

27 And when (A)it was decided that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan Regiment. 2 So, entering a ship of Adramyttium, we put to sea, meaning to sail along the coasts of Asia. (B)Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us. 3 And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius (C)treated Paul kindly and gave him liberty to go to his friends and receive care. 4 When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. 5 And when we had sailed over the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 6 There the centurion found (D)an Alexandrian ship sailing to Italy, and he put us on board.

7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of (E)Crete off Salmone. 8 Passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

Paul’s Warning Ignored

9 Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous (F)because [a]the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” 11 Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. 12 And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.

In the Tempest

13 When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete. 14 But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called [b]Euroclydon. 15 So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her [c]drive. 16 And running under the shelter of an island called [d]Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty. 17 When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the [e]Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven. 18 And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship. 19 On the third day (G)we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands. 20 Now when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest beat on us, all hope that we would be saved was finally given up.

21 But after long abstinence from food, then Paul stood in the midst of them and said, “Men, you should have listened to me, and not have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. 22 And now I urge you to take [f]heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 (H)For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and (I)whom I serve, 24 saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 Therefore take heart, men, (J)for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me. 26 However, (K)we must run aground on a certain island.”

27 Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were drawing near some land. 28 And they took soundings and found it to be twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, they took soundings again and found it to be fifteen fathoms. 29 Then, fearing lest we should run aground on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern, and [g]prayed for day to come. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, when they had let down the skiff into the sea, under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, 31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the skiff and let it fall off.

33 And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, (L)since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.” 35 And when he had said these things, he took bread and (M)gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat. 36 Then they were all encouraged, and also took food themselves. 37 And in all we were two hundred and seventy-six (N)persons on the ship. 38 So when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship and threw out the wheat into the sea.

Shipwrecked on Malta

39 When it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they observed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship if possible. 40 And they [h]let go the anchors and left them in the sea, meanwhile loosing the rudder ropes; and they hoisted the mainsail to the wind and made for shore. 41 But striking [i]a place where two seas met, (O)they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.

42 And the soldiers’ plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land, 44 and the rest, some on boards and some on parts of the ship. And so it was (P)that they all escaped safely to land.

Paul Sails for Rome

27 And when it was decided (A)that (B)we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan (C)Cohort named Julius. 2 And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to the ports along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, accompanied by (D)Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica. 3 The next day we put in at Sidon. And (E)Julius (F)treated Paul kindly and (G)gave him leave to go to his friends and be cared for. 4 And putting out to sea from there we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were against us. 5 And when we had sailed across the open sea along the coast of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra in Lycia. 6 There the centurion found (H)a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board. 7 We sailed slowly for a number of days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus, and as the wind did not allow us to go farther, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Salmone. 8 Coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

9 Since much time had passed, and the voyage was now dangerous because even (I)the Fast[a] was already over, Paul advised them, 10 saying, “Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with (J)injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.” 11 But the centurion paid more attention to (K)the pilot and to the owner of the ship than to what Paul said. 12 And because the harbor was not suitable to spend the winter in, the majority decided to put out to sea from there, on the chance that somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing both southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

The Storm at Sea

13 Now when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to the shore. 14 But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, (L)struck down from the land. 15 And when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven along. 16 Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda,[b] we managed with difficulty to secure the ship's boat. 17 After hoisting it up, they used supports to undergird the ship. Then, fearing that they would (M)run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the gear,[c] and thus they were driven along. 18 Since we were violently storm-tossed, they began the next day (N)to jettison the cargo. 19 And on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.

21 Since they had been without food for a long time, Paul stood up among them and said, “Men, (O)you should have listened to me and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this (P)injury and loss. 22 Yet now I urge you to (Q)take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. 23 For this very night (R)there (S)stood before me (T)an angel of the God (U)to whom I belong and (V)whom I worship, 24 and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; (W)you must stand before Caesar. And behold, (X)God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ 25 So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told. 26 But (Y)we must (Z)run aground on some island.”

27 When the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven across the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were nearing land. 28 So they took a sounding and found twenty fathoms.[d] A little farther on they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.[e] 29 And fearing that we might (AA)run on the rocks, they let down four anchors from the stern and prayed for day to come. 30 And as the sailors were seeking to escape from the ship, and had lowered (AB)the ship's boat into the sea under pretense of laying out anchors from the bow, 31 Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.” 32 Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat and let it go.

33 As day was about to dawn, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day that you have continued in suspense and without food, having taken nothing. 34 Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength,[f] for (AC)not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.” 35 And when he had said these things, he took bread, and (AD)giving thanks to God in the presence of all he broke it and began to eat. 36 Then they all (AE)were encouraged and ate some food themselves. 37 (We were in all 276[g] (AF)persons in the ship.) 38 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, (AG)throwing out the wheat into the sea.

The Shipwreck

39 Now when it was day, (AH)they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, on which they planned if possible to run the ship ashore. 40 So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time loosening the ropes that tied the rudders. Then hoisting the foresail to the wind they made for the beach. 41 But striking a reef,[h] (AI)they ran the vessel aground. The bow stuck and remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the surf. 42 (AJ)The soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, lest any should swim away and escape. 43 But the centurion, (AK)wishing to save Paul, kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and make for the land, 44 and the rest on planks or on pieces of the ship. And so it was that (AL)all were brought safely to land.
