New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
9 When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them,
9
Much time had been lost, and sailing had already become dangerous because by now it was after the Day of Atonement. So Paul warned them,
10 and said to them, "Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."
10
“Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.”
11 But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul.
11
But the centurion, instead of listening to what Paul said, followed the advice of the pilot and of the owner of the ship.
12 Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.
12
Since the harbor was unsuitable to winter in, the majority decided that we should sail on, hoping to reach Phoenix and winter there. This was a harbor in Crete, facing both southwest and northwest.
13 When a moderate south wind came up, supposing that they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore.
13
When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
14 But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called Euraquilo;
14
Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the Northeaster, swept down from the island.
15 and when the ship was caught in it and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and let ourselves be driven along.
15
The ship was caught by the storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven along.
16 Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship's boat under control.
16
As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were hardly able to make the lifeboat secure,
17 After they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.
17
so the men hoisted it aboard. Then they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Because they were afraid they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along.
18 The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo;
18
We took such a violent battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo overboard.
19 and on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands.
19
On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.
