Kisah Para Rasul 27:22

27:22 And now I advise ¹  you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only the ship will be lost. ² 

Kisah Para Rasul 27:34

27:34 Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is important ³  for your survival. ⁴  For not one of you will lose a hair from his head.”

[27:22]  ¹ tn The same verb is used for Paul’s original recommendation in Ac 27:9.

[27:22]  ² tn Grk “except the ship.” Here “but” is used to translate the improper preposition πλήν (plhn; see BDAG 826 s.v. πλήν 2) since an exception like this, where two different categories of objects are involved (people and a ship), is more naturally expressed in contemporary English with an adversative (“but”). The words “will be lost” are also supplied for clarity.

[27:22]  sn The “prophecy” about the ship serves to underscore Paul’s credibility as an agent of God. Paul addressed his audience carefully and drew attention to the sovereign knowledge of God.

[27:34]  ³ tn Or “necessary.” BDAG 873-74 s.v. πρός 1 has “πρ. τῆς σωτηρίας in the interest of safety Ac 27:34”; L&N 27.18 has “‘therefore, I urge you to take some food, for this is important for your deliverance’ or ‘…for your survival’ Ac 27:34.”

[27:34]  ⁴ tn Or “deliverance” (‘salvation’ in a nontheological sense).
