27 — Atti degli Apostoli

1And 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,Dopo che fu stabilito, che Paolo andasse per mare in Italia, e che fosse consegnato con gli altri prigionieri ad un centurione della coorte Augusta, chiamato Giulio,AND after it vvas decreed that he should saile into Italie, and that Paul vvith other prisoners should be deliuered to a Centurion named Iulius, of the band Augusta,Ut autem judicatum est navigare eum in Italiam, et tradi Paulum cum reliquis custodiis centurioni nomine Julio cohortis Augustæ, 2Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.Entrati in una nave di Adrumeto, facemmo vela, costeggiando i paesi dell'Asia, accompagnandoci Aristarco Macedone di Tessalonica.vve going vp into a ship of Adrumétum, beginning to sail about the places of Asia, loosed from the land, Aristarchus the Macedonian of Thessalonica continuing vvith vs.ascendentes navem Adrumetinam, incipientes navigare circa Asiæ loca, sustulimus, perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicensi. 3And 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.E il dì seguente arrivammo a Sidone. E Giulio trattando Paolo umanamente gli permise di andar dagli amici, e di ristorarsi.And the day folovving vve came to Sidon. And Iulius intreating Paul courteously, permitted him to goe to his frendes, and to take care of him self.Sequenti autem die devenimus Sidonem. Humane autem tractans Julius Paulum, permisit ad amicos ire, et curam sui agere. 4And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.Di li fatta vela navigammo sotto Cipro, a motivo, che erano contrari i venti.And vvhen vve had loosed thēce, vve sailed vnder Cypres: because the vvindes vvere cōtrarie.Et inde cum sustulissemus, subnavigavimus Cyprum, propterea quod essent venti contrarii. 5And sailing over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia.E traversando il mare della Cilicia, e della Panfilia, arrivammo a Listra della Licia:And sailing the sea of Cilicia and Pamphilia, vve came to Lystra', vvhich is in Lycia:Et pelagus Ciliciæ et Pamphyliæ navigantes, venimus Lystram, quæ est Lyciæ: 6And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.E quivi avendo il centurione trovata una nave Alessandrina, che andava in Italia, ci trasportò sopra di essa.and there the Centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italie, remoued vs into it.et ibi inveniens centurio navem Alexandrinam navigantem in Italiam, transposuit nos in eam.

7And 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.E per molti giorni navigando lentamente, ed essendo con difficoltà arrivati dirimpetto a Gnido, perché il vento ci impediva, costeggiammo la Candia lungo Salmone:And vvhereas many daies vve sailed slovvly, & vvere scarse come ouer against Gnidus, the vvinde hindering vs, vve sailed neere Crete by Salmóne:Et cum multis diebus tarde navigaremus, et vix devenissemus contra Gnidum, prohibente nos vento, adnavigavimus Cretæ juxta Salmonem: 8And 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.E stentatamente costeggiandola, arrivammo a un certo luogo, chiamato Buoniporti, vicino al quale era la città di Talassa.and vvith much a doe sailing by it, vve came into a certaine place that is called Good-hauens, nigh to the vvhich vvas a citie Thalassa.et vix juxta navigantes, venimus in locum quemdam qui vocatur Boniportus, cui juxta erat civitas Thalassa. 9And when much time was spent and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,E avendo consumato molto tempo, e non essendo più sicuro il navigare, perché era passato il digiuno, Paolo gli ammoniva,And vvhen much time vvas spent, and vvhereas novv it vvas not safe sailing, because the fast novv vvas past, Paul comforted them,Multo autem tempore peracto, et cum jam non esset tuta navigatio eo quod et jejunium jam præteriisset, consolabatur eos Paulus, 10Saying 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.Dicendo loro: Io veggo, o uomini, che la navigazione comincia ad essere con nocumento, e perdita grande non solo del carico, e della nave, ma ancora delle nostre vite.saying to them, Ye men, I see that the sailing beginneth to be vvith hurt and much damage not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our liues.dicens eis: Viri, video quoniam cum injuria et multo damno non solum oneris, et navis, sed etiam animarum nostrarum incipit esse navigatio. 11But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.Ma il centurione credeva più ai piloti, e al padron della nave, che a quanto diceva Paolo.But the Centurion beleeued the gouernour and maister of the ship, more then those things vvhich vvere said of Paul.Centurio autem gubernatori et nauclero magis credebat, quam his quæ a Paulo dicebantur.

12And 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 south-west and north-west.E non essendo buono quel porto per isvernarvi, la maggior parte furono di sentimento di partirne, e se in alcun modo avessero potuto giugnere a Fenice (porto della Candia volto ad Affrico, e a Coro) ivi svernare.And vvhereas it vvas not a commodious hauen to vvinter in, very many taking counsel appointed to saile thence, if by any meanes they might comming to Phoeníce, vvinter there, a hauen of Crete looking tovvard the Afrike and the Chore.Et cum aptus portus non esset ad hiemandum, plurimi statuerunt consilium navigare inde, si quomodo possent, devenientes Phœnicen hiemare, portum Cretæ respicientem ad Africum et ad Corum. 13And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.E spirando leggermente l'Austro, credendosi sicuri del loro intento, avendo salpato da Asson, costeggiavan la Candia.And the south vvinde blovving, they thinking that they had obteined their purpose, vvhen they had parted from Asson, sailed along by Crete.Aspirante autem austro, æstimantes propositum se tenere, cum sustulissent de Asson, legebant Cretam. 14But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.Ma poco dopo si spinse contro di essa un vento procelloso, che si chiama Euro aquilone.But not long after, a tempestous vvinde that is called Euro-aquilo, droue against it.Non post multum autem misit se contra ipsam ventus typhonicus, qui vocatur Euroaquilo. 15And when the ship was caught and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.Ed essendo portata via la nave, né potendo far fronte al venuto, abbandonata al vento la nave, eravamo portati.And vvhen the shippe vvas caught and could not make vvay against the vvinde, giuing, vp the ship to the vvindes, vve vvere driuen.Cumque arrepta esset navis, et non posset conari in ventum, data nave flatibus, ferebamur. 16And running under a certain island that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.E correndo sotto una certa isoletta, chiamata Cauda, a mala pena potemmo renderci padroni dello schifo.And running vpon a certaine iland, that is called Cauda, vve could scarse get the cock-boate.In insulam autem quamdam decurrentes, quæ vocatur Cauda, potuimus vix obtinere scapham.

17Which 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.Ma tiratolo su, si valevano degli aiuti, fasciando con funi la nave, e temendo di dar nelle secche, calato l'albero così erano portati.Vvhich being taken vp, they vsed helps, girding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the Syrte, letting dovvne the vessel, so vvere they caried.Qua sublata, adjutoriis utebantur, accingentes navem, timentes ne in Syrtim inciderent, summisso vase sic ferebantur. 18And we, being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.Ma essendo noi battuti gagliardamente dalla tempesta, il dì seguente fecer getto delle merci:And vvhen vve vvere mightly tossed vvith the tempest, the next day they cast forth,Valida autem nobis tempestate jactatis, sequenti die jactum fecerunt: 19And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.E il terzo giorno colle loro mani gittarono via gli attrezzi della nave.And the third day vvith their ovvne handes they threvve forth the tacklinges of the ship.et tertia die suis manibus armamenta navis projecerunt. 20And 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.E non essendo comparso né sole, né stelle per più giorni, e premendoci la burrasca non piccola, era già tolta a noi ogni speranza di salute.And neither sunne, nor starres appearing for many daies, and no smal storme being tovvard, al hope vvas novv taken avvay of our sauing.Neque autem sole, neque sideribus apparentibus per plures dies, et tempestate non exigua imminente, jam ablata erat spes omnis salutis nostræ. 21And 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.Ed essendo già lungo il digiuno, allora stando in piedi Paolo in mezzo di essi, disse: Conveniva, o uomini, che facendo a modo mio, non vi foste allontanati dalla Candia, e vi foste risparmiato questo strapazzo, e questo danno.And vvhen there had been long fasting, then Paul standing in the middes of them, said, You should in deede, O ye men, haue heard me, and not haue parted from Crete, & haue gained this hurt and losse.Et cum multa jejunatio fuisset, tunc stans Paulus in medio eorum, dixit: Oportebat quidem, o viri, audito me, non tollere a Creta, lucrique facere injuriam hanc et jacturam.

22And 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.Ma ora vi esorto a star di buon animo: Imperocché non si perderà anima di voi altri, ma solo la nave.And novv I exhort you to be of good cheere. for there shal be no losse of any soule amōg you, but of the ship.Et nunc suadeo vobis bono animo esse: amissio enim nullius animæ erit ex vobis, præterquam navis. 23For an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night,Imperocché mi è apparso questa notte l'Angelo di quel Dio, di cui io sono, e a cui servo,For an Angel of the God vvhose I am, and vvhom I serue, stoode by me this night,Astitit enim mihi hac nocte angelus Dei, cujus sum ego, et cui deservio, 24Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.Dicendomi: non temere, o Paolo, fa d'uopo, che tu sii presentato a Cesare: Ed ecco, che Dio ti ha fatto dono di tutti quelli, che teco navigano.saying, Feare not Paul, thou must appeare before Caesar: and behold God hath giuen thee al that saile vvith thee.dicens: Ne timeas, Paule: Cæsari te oportet assistere: et ecce donavit tibi Deus omnes qui navigant tecum. 25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.Per la qual cosa state di buon animo, o uomini: Imperocché ho fede in Dio, che sarà, come è stato a me detto.For the vvhich cause be of good cheere ye men: for I beleeue God, that it shal so be, as it hath been said to me.Propter quod bono animo estote, viri: credo enim Deo quia sic erit, quemadmodum dictum est mihi. 26And we must come unto a certain island.Noi dobbiamo dare in una certa isola.And vve must come vnto a certaine ilande.In insulam autem quamdam oportet nos devenire. 27But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.Ma venuta la quartadecima notte, navigando noi pel mare Adriatico, circa la metà della notte i marinari sospicavano, che si avvicinasse loro qualche paese.But after the fourtenth night vvas come on vs, as vve vvere sailing in Adria about midnight, the shipmen deemed that there appeared some countrie to them.Sed posteaquam quartadecima nox supervenit, navigantibus nobis in Adria circa mediam noctem, suspicabantur nautæ apparere sibi aliquam regionem. 28Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms: and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.E gettato lo scandaglio, trovarono venti passi: e tirando un pochetto innanzi, trovarono quindici passi.Vvho also sounding, found tvventie fadomes: and being parted a litle from thence, they found fiftene fadomes,Qui et summittentes bolidem, invenerunt passus viginti: et pusillum inde separati, invenerunt passus quindecim.

29Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern: and wished for the day.E temendo di non dare in luoghi aspri, calate da poppa quattro ancore, bramavano, che venisse il giorno.And fearing lest vve should fall into rough places; casting out of the sterne foure ankers, they vvished that day vvere come.Timentes autem ne in aspera loca incideremus, de puppi mittentes anchoras quatuor, optabant diem fieri. 30But 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,E cercando i marinari di fuggir della nave, e avendo messo in mare lo schifo col pretesto di cominciare a stendere le ancore dalla prora,But as the shipmen sought to flee out of the ship, hauing let dovvne the cock-boate into the sea, pretēding as if they vvere about to cast out ankers out of the fore part of the ship,Nautis vero quærentibus fugere de navi, cum misissent scapham in mare, sub obtentu quasi inciperent a prora anchoras extendere, 31Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.Disse Paolo al centurione, e a' soldati: se costoro non restano nella nave, voi non potete essere salvi.Paul said to the Centurion and to the souldiars, Vnles •hesc tarie in the ship, you can not be saued.dixit Paulus centurioni et militibus: Nisi hi in navi manserint, vos salvi fieri non potestis. 32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let her fall off.Allora i soldati troncaron le funi dello schifo, e lasciaron che se v'andasse.Then the souldiars cut of the ropes of the cockboate: and suffered it to fal avvay.Tunc absciderunt milites funes scaphæ, et passi sunt eam excidere. 33And 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.E principiando a farsi giorno, Paolo esortava tutti a prender cibo, dicendo: oggi è il quartodecimo giorno, che appellando ve ne state digiuni senza prendere cosa alcuna.And vvhen it began to be light, Paul desired all to take meate, saying, This day is the fourtenth day that you expect and remaine fasting, taking nothing.Et cum lux inciperet fieri, rogabat Paulus omnes sumere cibum, dicens: Quartadecima die hodie exspectantes jejuni permanetis, nihil accipientes. 34Wherefore, 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.Il perché vi esorto a prender cibo, affine di salvare voi stessi: imperocché non perirà un capello della testa di alcun di voi.For the vvhich cause I desire you to take meate for your health sake: for there shal not an heare of the head perish of any of you.Propter quod rogo vos accipere cibum pro salute vestra: quia nullius vestrum capillus de capite peribit.

35And 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.E detto questo, prese del pane; ringraziò Dio alla presenza di tutti: e sprezzatolo cominciò a mangiare.And vvhen he had said these things, taking bread, he gaue thankes to God in the sight of them al: and vvhen he had broken it, he began to eate.Et cum hæc dixisset, sumens panem, gratias egit Deo in conspectu omnium: et cum fregisset, cœpit manducare. 36Then were they all of better cheer: and they also took some meat.E tutti ripreso coraggio, anch'essi pigliarono nudrimento.And being al made of better cheere, they also tooke meate.Animæquiores autem facti omnes, et ipsi sumpserunt cibum. 37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.Eravamo nella nave in tutto dugensettantasei anime.And vve vvere in al the ship, soules tvvo hundred seuentie sixe.Eramus vero universæ animæ in navi ducentæ septuaginta sex. 38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.E saziati di cibo alleggiavano la nave, gettando in mare il grano.And being filled vvith meate, they lighted the ship, casting the vvheat into the sea.Et satiati cibo alleviabant navem, jactantes triticum in mare. 39And 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.E fattosi giorno, non riconoscevano quella terra: ma osservarono un certo seno, che aveva lido, al quale avevano pensato di spinger la nave, se avesser potuto.And vvhen day vvas come, they knevv not the land: but they spied a certaine creeke that had a shore, into the vvhich they minded, if they could, to cast a land the ship.Cum autem dies factus esset, terram non agnoscebant: sinum vero quemdam considerabant habentem littus, in quem cogitabant si possent ejicere navem. 40And 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.E tirate su le ancore, si abbandonavano il mare avendo insiememente allargati i legami de' timoni: e alzato l'artimone secondo il soffiare del vento andavano verso il lido.And vvhen they had taken vp the ankers, they committed them selues to the sea, loosing vvithal the rudder bands: and hoising vp the maine saile according as the vvinde blevve, they vvent on tovvard the shore.Et cum anchoras sustulissent, committebant se mari, simul laxantes juncturas gubernaculorum: et levato artemone secundum auræ flatum, tendebant ad littus.

41And 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.Ma essendoci imbattuti in una punta di terra, che aveva da' due lati il mare, arrenarono: e la prora affondatasi rimanea immobile; la poppa poi per la violenza del mare veniva a sfasciarsi.And vvhen vve vvere fallen into a place betvvene tvvo seas, they graueled the ship; and the fore-part truly sticking fast remained vnmoueable: but the hinder part vvas broken by the violence of the sea.Et cum incidissemus in locum dithalassum, impegerunt navem: et prora quidem fixa manebat immobilis, puppis vero solvebatur a vi maris. 42And the soldiers’ counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out should escape.Il disegno de' soldati si fu di ammazzare i prigioni: affinchè qualcheduno salvatosi a nuoto non iscapasse.And the counsel of the souldiars vvas, that they should kil the prisoners: lest any svvimming out, might runne avvay.Militum autem consilium fuit ut custodias occiderent, ne quis cum enatasset, effugeret. 43But 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.Ma il centurione bramoso di salvar Paolo, impedì loro di ciò fare: e ordinò, che quelli, che potean nuotare si gettassero giù i primi, e andassero a terra.But the Centurion vvilling to saue Paul, forbade it to be done: & he commaunded them that could svvimme, to cast out them selues first, and escape, and goe forth to land:Centurio autem volens servare Paulum, prohibuit fieri: jussitque eos qui possent natare, emittere se primos, et evadere, et ad terram exire: 44And 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.Gli altri poi li portarono parte sopra tavole, parte sopra gli sfasciumi della nave. E così ne avvenne, che tutti scamparono a terra.and the rest, some they caried on bordes, and some vpon those things that vvere of the ship. And so it came to passe, that al the soules escaped to land.et ceteros, alios in tabulis ferebant, quosdam super ea quæ de navi erant. Et sic factum est, ut omnes animæ evaderent ad terram.
