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 as it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan 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.
And going on board a ship of Adramyttium, we went off, intending to sail by the coasts of Asia; Aristarchus a Macedonian of Thessalonica being 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.
And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends to get proper supplies.
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.
And when we departed from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Na ti wa din nanyan myeine kupoon Kilikiya nin Bamfiliya, ti da Umira, kagbirin Lisiya.
And sailing through the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra a city of Lycia.
6 Kikane ku soje se uzirgi unuzun Iskandariya na uwa cinu udu Italiya. A taa nari nanye.
And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria bound for Italy, he put us on board it.
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.
And as we sailed slowly for many days, and were hardly got on to Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete by 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.
And passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called the Fair-havens, near to which was the city 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,
And as much time was spent, and sailing was now dangerous, (for the fast was now past, ) Paul exhorted 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, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage is like to be prejudicial and with much damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also 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 regarded the pilot and the master of the vessel, more than the things that were said by Paul.
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 the haven not being commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to sail from thence, if they could possibly reach to Phenice to winter at that haven of Crete, which looks both to the south-west and north-west.
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.
And as the south wind blew gently, thinking they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed close by Crete.
14 Na I dandauna ba ufunu udya, naidin sun nnin ufunu kusarin nu cun nwui cizina ufoo nari.
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon.
15 Na uzirge nkpiliya kidowo tutung na uwasa uyenje kusarin fune ba, ti cino unin nanye udin cinu nin narik.
And the ship being hurried on, and not able to face the wind, we gave it up and so were carried 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.
And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat.
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.
Which when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing least they should fall into the quick-sands, they struck fail, and so were driven.
18 Ti wa dira kang nin fune ukurtunung nkui ye anang katwa nzirge nutuzuno imoone ifilzino nanya myeine.
And as we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
19 Liri lin tate anan latwa nzirge nin nacara mene filizino imoone.
and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship too.
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.
And as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being 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.
But after long abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not loosed from Crete, and so have saved 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.
However, I now exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any life among you, but 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
for there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying,
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.'
Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Cesar, and behold God hath given thee all that are sailing with thee.
25 Bara nani, anit, tan kibinai likara bara na inyinna nin Kutelle, au ima so nafo na iwa bellin.
Wherefore, Sirs, be of good courage; for I trust in God, that it shall be so, according as it was told me.
26 Bara nani tima nyanju kitune nadan nanya kurawa kudya.”
But we must be cast upon some 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.
And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the mariners thought they drew near to some land:
28 Idumna nmyeine ise abunu likure nin naba, na I dandauna ba ikuru idumna ise abunu likure nin nitaun.
and sounding they found it twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, and sounded again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
29 I lanza fiu au ima diu kitene natala ituu ucinko unas ligang nzirge inin son ncaa uwui nuzu.
Then fearing least they should fall upon some rocky places, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for day.
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.
But the mariners endeavouring to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat into the sea, under pretence that they were going to stretch out anchors from the head of the ship,
31 Bulus woro indya na soje nin nasoje, “Andi na unit alele nso nanyan nzirge ba nati ma ti ulai ba.”
Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers, Unless these men stay in the ship ye cannot be saved.
32 A soje nin werzine tii nzirge isuna unin unyaa.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 Na nkanang ncizina udasu, Bulus risa nani ili imonli, a woro, “Kitimone liri lin likure nin na nasari ulele na ileu imonli ba.
And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, Fourteen days this day ye continue waiting without proper food, 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.”
wherefore I exhort you to take some nourishment, for this is necessary for your safety: for there shall not a hair 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.
And having spoken thus, he took bread and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and when he had broken it he began to eat.
36 Inung nin se likara nibinai, inung ulang cizina ule.
And being all encouraged they also took some food.
37 Ti wa di akolt aba nin nakut kuzurr nin kutocin nanyan nzirge.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 Na ileu ibatina nani, I taa uzirge fau na iwa kalza ualkame I tusu nanya kurawe.
And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship and cast out the corn 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.
And when it was day, they did not know the land near them: but they perceived a certain creek with a shore, into which they were desirous, if they could, to have thrust the ship.
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.
And when they had taken up the anchors, they trusted the ship to the sea, at the same time, loosing the rudder-bands; and hoisting up the main-sail to the wind, they made to the shore.
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 falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship a-ground; and the fore-part stuck fast, and remained immoveable, but the hinder part was dashed in pieces by the violence of the waves.
42 Ukpilzu na soje wadi imolso acine vat bara umong mine wa su iyiu nanyan myeine acoo.
And the counsel of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, least any of them should swim out 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, desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and ordered those that could swim to throw themselves out first, and get off to 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.
and the rest, some on planks, and others on some other things out of the ship. And so it came to pass that they all got safe to land.
