¹Kui oli otsustatud, et me purjetame Itaaliasse, anti Paulus ja mõned teised vangid üle keiserliku väesalga pealikule nimega Julius.

¹When 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.

²Me astusime siis Adramüttioni laevale, mis pidi purjetama Aasia sadamate kaudu, ja läksime merele. Meiega oli ka makedoonlane Aristarhos Tessaloonikast.

²Embarking 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.

³Ja teisel päeval me randusime Siidonis. Julius kohtles Paulust lahkesti ning andis talle loa minna oma sõprade juurde, et need saaksid tema eest hoolitseda.

³The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.

⁴Ja kui me sealt olime läinud merele, purjetasime Küprose alt mööda, sest tuuled olid vastu.

⁴Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

⁵Ja purjetades üle avamere, mis on Kiliikia ja Pamfüülia kohal, me saabusime Lüükia Mürrasse.

⁵When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

⁶Ja kui pealik leidis sealt Aleksandria laeva, mis purjetas Itaaliasse, pani ta meid selle pardale.

⁶There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.

⁷Aga kui me mitmeid päevi olime vähehaaval edasi purjetanud ja vaevaga saanud Knidose kohale, sest tuul ei lasknud meid lähemale, siis me purjetasime Kreeta varju Salmoone kohal,

⁷When 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.

⁸loovisime vaevaga sealt mööda ning saabusime paika, mida hüütakse Heaks Sadamaks ja mille lähedal on Lasaia linn.

⁸With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.

⁹Et aga üsna palju aega oli kulunud ja laevasõit läks juba kardetavaks, kuna ka lepituspäev oli möödas, manitses Paulus neid:

⁹When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,

¹⁰'Mehed, ma näen, et edasipurjetamine muutub ohtlikuks ja võib suurt kahju tuua mitte ainult lastile ja laevale, vaid ka meie elule.'

¹⁰and 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.”

¹¹Aga pealik võttis kapteni ja tüürimehe nõu enam kuulda kui seda, mida Paulus ütles.

¹¹But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship than to those things which were spoken by Paul.

¹²Ja et sadam oli talvitamiseks sobimatu, siis võttis enamik nõuks minna sealt merele ja kui võimalik, jõuda talvitama Foiniksisse, sellesse Kreeta sadamasse, mis on lahti edelasse ja loodesse.

¹²Because 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.

¹³Kui siis nõrk lõunatuul hakkas puhuma, arvasid nad end eesmärgile jõudvat, hiivasid ankru ja loovisid piki Kreeta rannikut.

¹³When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

¹⁴Ent üsna varsti sööstis saare poolt alla marutuul, mida hüütakse kirdemaruks.

¹⁴But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon. Or, “a northeaster.”

¹⁵Kui see laeva kaasa kiskus ja me ei suutnud enam käila vastu tuult keerata, andsime end tuule ajada.

¹⁵When the ship was caught, and couldn’t face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.

¹⁶Sattudes siis ühe saarekese varju, mida hüütakse Kaudaks, suutsime vaevalt tulla toime päästepaadiga.

¹⁶Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.

¹⁷Kui see oli üles tõmmatud, kasutati kaitsevõtteid ja vöötati laev köitega. Ja et kardeti paiskuda Sürti madalale, heideti sisse triivankur ning jäeti laev triivima.

¹⁷After 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.

¹⁸Kui aga raju meid väga vintsutas, loopisid nad järgmisel päeval osa lasti üle parda.

¹⁸As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.

¹⁹Ja kolmandal päeval heitsid nad oma käega merre ka laeva varustuse.

¹⁹On the third day, they threw out the ship’s tackle with their own hands.

²⁰Kui nüüd mitu päeva ei paistnud ei päikest ega tähti ja kange raju võimutses, lõppes meil viimaks igasugune lootus pääseda.

²⁰When 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.

²¹Kuna kellelgi ei olnud enam mingit tahtmist süüa, siis tõusis Paulus nende keskel püsti ja ütles: 'Mehed, te oleksite pidanud minu sõna kuulama ja jätma Kreetalt merele minemata, siis te oleksite vältinud seda hädaohtu ja kahju.

²¹When 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.

²²Nüüd ma aga manitsen teid olema julged, sest ükski hing teie seast ei hukku, hukkub vaid laev.

²²Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.

²³Täna öösel seisis minu juures selle Jumala ingel, kelle päralt ma olen ja keda ma ka teenin,

²³For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,

²⁴ning ütles: 'Ära karda, Paulus! Sa pead jõudma keisri ette, ja vaata, Jumal on sulle kinkinud kõik su kaasreisijad.'

²⁴saying, ‘Don’t be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. Behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’

²⁵Seepärast, mehed, olge julged, sest ma usun Jumalat, et kõik läheb nõnda, nagu mulle on räägitud.

²⁵Therefore, sirs, cheer up! For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.

²⁶Aga me peame jõudma mingile saarele.'

²⁶But we must run aground on a certain island.”

²⁷Kui siis jõudis kätte neljateistkümnes öö, mil meid Aadria merel aeti sinna ja tänna, siis tundus laevameestele kesköö paiku, et läheneb mingi maa.

²⁷But 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.

²⁸Loodimisel leidsid nad vett olevat kakskümmend sülda; kui nad siis natuke edasi liikusid ja jälle loodisid, leidsid nad viisteist sülda vett.

²⁸They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. 20 fathoms = 120 feet = 36.6 meters After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms. 15 fathoms = 90 feet = 27.4 meters

²⁹Kartes, et me paiskume karidele, heitsid nad laeva ahtrist välja neli ankrut ja jäid ootama päevavalgust.

²⁹Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.

³⁰Aga kui laevamehed püüdsid laevast põgeneda ja hakkasid paati merre laskma ettekäändel, nagu tahaksid nad laeva käilast ankrut sisse lasta,

³⁰As 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,

³¹ütles Paulus pealikule ja sõduritele: 'Kui need ei jää laeva, siis te ei pääse!'

³¹Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you can’t be saved.”

³²Siis raiusid sõdurid paadi köied katki ja lasksid selle merre kukkuda.

³²Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.

³³Aga enne kui valgeks läks, julgustas Paulus kõiki sööma, üteldes: 'Täna on neljateistkümnes päev, mil te oodates püsite söömata ega ole midagi suhu võtnud.

³³While 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.

³⁴Seepärast ma manitsen teid leiba võtma, sest see on tarvilik teie pääsemiseks. Ei lähe ju teie ühegi peast juuksekarvagi kaotsi!'

³⁴Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads.”

³⁵Nende sõnade järel võttis Paulus leiva, tänas Jumalat kõigi ees, murdis ja hakkas sööma.

³⁵When 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.

³⁶Ja kõigi meeleolu läks paremaks ja nemadki võtsid leiba.

³⁶Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.

³⁷Ühtekokku oli meid laeval kakssada seitsekümmend kuus hinge.

³⁷In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.

³⁸Kui nende kõhud said täis, siis nad kergendasid veel laeva, heites vilja merre.

³⁸When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.

³⁹Kui valgeks läks, siis nad ei tundnud, mis maa see oli; aga nad märkasid ühte sobiva rannaga lahte, kuhu nad tahtsid, kui võimalik, laeva ajada.

³⁹When 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.

⁴⁰Nad vabastasid ankrud ja lasksid need merre vajuda, samal ajal nad vallandasid tüüriaerud köitest ja seadsid esipurje tuulde ning püüdsid liikuda ranna poole.

⁴⁰Casting 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.

⁴¹Aga nad sattusid liivaseljakule ja ajasid laeva sinna kinni. Laeva käil tungis sinna sisse ja jäi liikumatult paigale, ahter purunes aga lainete möllus.

⁴¹But 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.

⁴²Sõdurid võtsid nõuks vangid ära tappa, et ükski neist ei pääseks ujudes põgenema.

⁴²The soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.

⁴³Kuid pealik, tahtes päästa Paulust, takistas neid seda nõu täitmast. Ta käskis neil, kes oskavad ujuda, esimestena vette hüpata ja püüda maale jõuda,

⁴³But 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;

⁴⁴ja teistel käskis neile järgneda kas laudadel või laevarusudel. Ja nõnda sündis, et kõik pääsesid tervelt maale.

⁴⁴and 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.
