Katwa Nono Katwa 27
1 Na iwa yenin au ti ma nyeu udu Italiya, I nakpa Bulus ku nin namon anang licin nacaran kon kusoja unang kisan Julius, na awadin Agusta.
Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the imperial cohort.
2 Ti piran Zurgin myein unuzun Andramatiya, ule na uwadin cin kusari kurawan Asiya. Tidoo tidi yene, Aristarkus unuzun Tassalonika nanyan Makidoniya nyaa nan narik.
So we embarked in a ship of Atramytium, being about to sail to points along the Asian coast, and we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.
3 Nin kurtunun nkuiye ti pira nanya kagberin Sidon, kikaa na Julius wa yiru Bulus ku adoo ninghe kiti na doone na iwa yenjeghe nsen.
The next day we landed at Sidon; Julius treated Paul kindly and permitted him to go to his friends and receive care.
4 Unuzu kikane ti doo kurawa kudyawe, ti cina nanyan zirgin myeine udu lidan kulin Kubrus na uma kese ufune, bara na ufune wa wantin nari ucin.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Na ti wa din nanyan myeine kupoon Kilikiya nin Bamfiliya, ti da Umira, kagbirin Lisiya.
And when we had sailed across the sea that is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
6 Kikane ku soje se uzirgi unuzun Iskandariya na uwa cinu udu Italiya. A taa nari nanye.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7 Na a wa cinu seng ayiri gbardan unin duru nin nijasi kang kupoo Knidus, Na ufunwe nsuna nari ba, bara nani ti cina kusari kucinen Krete, kupoon Salmone.
When we had sailed slowly many days and scarcely arrived opposite Cnidus, the wind did not allow us to go forward, so we sailed for the lee of Crete by way of Salmone;
8 Ti cina ngau kurawa kudgawe nin nijasi se na ti wa dak nkankiti na idin yicu Fiya Havens ule na udi kupoo kagberin Lasiya.
sailing along it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9 Ti malu nanzu kubi kang, kubin kifu tinuu na Yahudawa tutung malu kafu, unin so nari nin nijasi ti ti ubum nin cine. Bara nani Bulus wunno nani atuff,
Much time had been lost and sailing was already dangerous, because even the Fast had already taken place; Paul repeatedly warned them
10 anin waro, “Anit, inyene ucin ulele na ti masu uma dak nari nin langzu kull nin duru nimoon gbardang na ma kuturan zerge cas ba, ti lai bite ulang.”
saying, “Men, I perceive that the voyage is about to be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but even of our lives.”
11 Bara nani ku soje ceu kibinai me kitin cikilare nin nanang zirge ashawa imoon ile na Bulus din bellu.
But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and ship owner rather than by what Paul said.
12 Bara na ufune wa caun ti so nanye ba, ngbardang nanang cine woro ti cinu kikane. Andi ti wa sa tiduru kagbirin Foniks, liwitine katanari kikane, Ufoniks wadi nin nadanga kupoo ngau kurawa nanyan Krete uwadin yenjun kitene kusarin nucun wui nin kusarin disun wui.
And since the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised sailing on, to see if they could get to Phoenix in order to winter, it being a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest.
13 Na ufunu kusarin disun nwuiye ncizina ukuu batbat, anan kuun zirge yenje nafo idin nin vat nimon ile na I dinin su we. Bara nani I kala inyeneghe inin cine kusarin Krete, kupoon ngau we.
So when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Na I dandauna ba ufunu udya, naidin sun nnin ufunu kusarin nu cun nwui cizina ufoo nari.
But not long after, a cyclonic wind blasted down from the land (it is called Euroclydon).
15 Na uzirge nkpiliya kidowo tutung na uwasa uyenje kusarin fune ba, ti cino unin nanye udin cinu nin narik.
Well the ship was caught and could not head into the wind, so we gave up and were driven along.
16 Ti cun ligowe kusari lidan nanya kuli libene lo na idin yicu ukauda, nin neu udya ti wa se ka zirge kabenen nlai.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we barely managed to secure the skiff;
17 Na I nyangtina ti shote itece uzirgi udyawe mun. I wa lanza fiu au to ma cinu ketene nicicin Nsirtiya, i cino ushote ufunue nyaa nin ghinu.
when they had hoisted it aboard, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing that they might fall into the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and so were driven along.
18 Ti wa dira kang nin fune ukurtunung nkui ye anang katwa nzirge nutuzuno imoone ifilzino nanya myeine.
We were being so violently battered by the storm that the next day they began to jettison things,
19 Liri lin tate anan latwa nzirge nin nacara mene filizino imoone.
and on the third we threw off the ship's tackle with our own hands.
20 Nanya nayiri gbardang na uwui ming niyini nnuzu ba, ufunu udindya nin din kuu nari, vat in ceu nibinai bite ti ma ulai ula nuzu.
When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a major storm was still pounding us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
21 Na iwa cinu piit sa imonli, Bulus nin yisina kiitik nanan katwa nzirge a woro, “Anit ale nkuru fo ini lanzai, na tiwa nuzu nKrete ba, bara ule ulanzun nkule nin diru nimoon ilele.
Now after long abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said: “Well men, it would have been better to take my advice and not sail from Crete, only to ‘gain’ this damage and loss.
22 Nene indin ti minu likara nibinai na iwa ti yototo ba, bara na ima diru umong nanya mine ba, ma udirum zirgere.
But now I urge you to take heart, because there will be no loss of life among you, only of the ship.
23 Bara nin kiitik unan kadura Kutelle ule na meng di ligowe ninghe, ule na indin tumuzunghe tutung - unan kadura me yisin likot nighe
This night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood by me
24 anin woro, 'Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Bulus. Uma yisinu nbun nKaisar, unin yene, Kutelle nanyan nkunekune me ana nife vat nale na una cinu nanghinu.'
and said: ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. Furthermore, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Bara nani, anit, tan kibinai likara bara na inyinna nin Kutelle, au ima so nafo na iwa bellin.
So take courage, men, because I believe in God that it will be just as it was told me.
26 Bara nani tima nyanju kitune nadan nanya kurawa kudya.”
Also, we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Na kiitik kin likune nin kin nas ndaa, na tiwa din cin libau lole au nin nanya kurawa kudyan Adriyatik nin kutek kiitik anan katwan zirge din yenju idaa kupoon ngou kurawe.
Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven here and there in the Adriatic, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were nearing some land.
28 Idumna nmyeine ise abunu likure nin naba, na I dandauna ba ikuru idumna ise abunu likure nin nitaun.
They took a sounding and found twenty fathoms; going on a little they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.
29 I lanza fiu au ima diu kitene natala ituu ucinko unas ligang nzirge inin son ncaa uwui nuzu.
So fearing that we might be driven into a rocky area, they dropped four anchors from the stern and started praying for day to come.
30 Anan katwa nzirge wa din piziru ndina nworu I filin unin icum, I wadi imalu tuu uzirgi ubene nanya kurawe, idin dursuzu nafo ima tuu umong ucinko nbune.
Now under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, the sailors lowered the skiff into the sea, intending to flee from the ship;
31 Bulus woro indya na soje nin nasoje, “Andi na unit alele nso nanyan nzirge ba nati ma ti ulai ba.”
so Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32 A soje nin werzine tii nzirge isuna unin unyaa.
Then the soldiers severed the ropes of the skiff and let it fall away.
33 Na nkanang ncizina udasu, Bulus risa nani ili imonli, a woro, “Kitimone liri lin likure nin na nasari ulele na ileu imonli ba.
While the day was coming on, Paul started urging them all to receive food, saying: “Today is the fourteenth day of waiting—you continue without eating, having taken nothing.
34 Bara nani indin putu minu nacara ipiziru imonli ili, bara inan se ulai; na liti lirum tete mene ma wulu ba.”
Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, because this is for our survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.”
35 Na abenle nani, ayira uburodi ataa nlira ku niyizi mine vat; anin puco unin acizina ule.
Upon saying this he picked up some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all; then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Inung nin se likara nibinai, inung ulang cizina ule.
So they all were encouraged and took food themselves.
37 Ti wa di akolt aba nin nakut kuzurr nin kutocin nanyan nzirge.
(In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.)
38 Na ileu ibatina nani, I taa uzirge fau na iwa kalza ualkame I tusu nanya kurawe.
So when they had eaten enough, they started lightening the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Na kitin shant, na iyino ugauwe tutung ba. Iyene nlon likoot nin ficicin nanya kurawe icizina ukpilzu sa idi ceu uzirge kikane.
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship, if possible.
40 Bara nani ibunku tii nzerge isuna unin nanya kurawe. I kuru ibunku tii nbune isuna ufunu din koo unin bara nani inyaa udu ficicine.
Casting off the anchors they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 Ida kan kiti na inuu myeine nzuruku uzirge nin cuun udu kutiin. Lican zirge yisina kikane na uwa sa ucina tutung ba bara nani uzirge cizina uputuzu nara tinana nayin kabarkin myeine.
But they fell into a place where two seas met and ran the vessel aground; the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the violence of the waves.
42 Ukpilzu na soje wadi imolso acine vat bara umong mine wa su iyiu nanyan myeine acoo.
Now the plan of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.
43 Udya mine wadi nin si a tucu Bulus ku, bara nani ayira ukpilzu mine; anin woro ule na awasa akafina kurawe adeu nanyan myeine adi yisin kutiine.
But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, stopped them from doing it and ordered those who could swim to jump in first and go toward the land,
44 Kagisin na nite nin dofino, among kitene ku ca, among kitene nimon nanyan nzirge. Nlo libauwe tina se vat bite kaffin kurawe acine.
followed by the rest, some on planks and some on things from the ship. And in this way they all escaped safely to the land.
