Ndu Manzaniba 27
1 Niwa ba ban zi ndi duta zren hi ni Itali, ba vu ba Bulus baba bi son nitro bari yo ni wo soja wani nji deri ri, wa ndema hi Julius, wu ngbran soja u kikle chu.
And 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,
2 Ki ri nimi Jirgima rjini Adramyttium wa a ta dran zu ni nyu meme wu Asiya. Niki ki ka hon tuma. Aristarkus wa a rjini Tesalonika wu Macedonia a zren huta.
Going on board a ship of Adrumetum, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia, Aristarchus, the Macedonian of Thessalonica, continuing with us.
3 Ni vi wu huki, ki kukri ni kikle gbu u Sidon, niwa Julius a mla Bulus nji nda duu hi ka to kpukpan ma nda kpa zo ni wo mba.
And 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.
4 Rji niki, ki hon tu ma ndi zren ni suka wu Cyprus, whewhire ni nklan memea, nitu kikle ngyungyu ata gbita.
And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Niwa ki zren ka rugran kpatema'a, ki vu Silisia mba Pamphylia yba, ndi ka kukri ni Myra, kikle gbu u Lycia.
And sailing over the sea of Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Lystra, which is in Lycia:
6 Niki, soja wu yaba, a to jirgi wa a rji ni Alexandria nda ni dran hini Itali. A vuta sru nimi.
And there the centurion finding a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, removed us into it.
7 Niwa sren me wu vi gbugbuwu ndi ka ri ni ya ni klekle whewhire ni Cnidus, mba wa ngyungyu'a ana nuba nkon zu niki ngana ki dran zu ni suuka u Crete, wa ata ya Salmone.
And 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:
8 Ki dran zu ni nyu kpatre ma'a nimi ya, rhini ka ye tra ni buburi wa ba yo ndi Fair Havens (bubu u kurhi) wandi a he hwehwire ni kikle gbu u Lasea.
And 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.
9 Kina ban nton wa a fon bran ye, nton wu ka rhikpe Yahudawa aka hiye wa a he ni di duta si dran hi. Niki, Bulus a gbiton ni bawu,
And when much time was spent, and when sailing now was dangerous, because the fast was now past, Paul comforted them,
10 nda tre ndi, “Indji, Mi si to ndi zren dran wa ki son luku zizan anihe ni yra tu mba-kurjoku gbugbuwu ni tawu, ana ni kpi bi mi jirgi mba jirgi'a megen na, i mba vri son kpambu ngame.”
Saying 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.
11 I Centurion a yo ton ni tiko mba indji wu jirgia zan kpi wa Bulus a hla a.
But the centurion believed the pilot and the master of the ship, more than those things which were said by Paul.
12 Nitu bubu mla kri jirgia ana he ni idi duba ki ti iga niki, gbugbu bi tru (tindu) jirgia ba nron ndi du ba dran rju niki, mba ndi nkon nita he duba hi ri ni gbu Phoenix, nda hi son kle ga niki. Phoenix hi hloma wu ri jirgia wa a he ni Crete, ndani ya kogbo ni yalu mba koshu ni yalu.
And 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 southwest and northwest.
13 Niwa ngyungyu ri ni kogbo a lu si fu sesren, bi ndu jirgia ba ban ndi ba he wa ba waa. U baka si nkan u jirgia nda dran hi ni Crete hwehwire ni meme u nyu maa.
And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.
14 Niwa nton fyi aka hi kikle ngyungyu wu gbengblen, wa ba yondi koshu kahi ni nzu Irji, a lu si tsi ni grji rjini nklan memea.
But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
15 Niwa jirgia a rini nkon ngyungyua, nda na la to nkon wu zuhi na, kitome ni nu ngyungyua nkon, wa a gbita si hi.
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
16 Ki dran hu ni bubu ri wu vi nklan meme wa ba yondi Cauda, mba ni vi ya, ki vu ghwu wu kpachuwo mla lo zi.
And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
17 Niwa ba nzu ghwua hon, ba tindu ni rjirjima nda lo kikle jirgia. Ba ti sissri nitu bama hi dran hi vu nhan kmu wu Syrtis; niki ba fon gri ni l'pn (anchor) jirgia nda si hu zren maa.
Which 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.
18 Kikle ngyungyu a tsi ta tiya nda duta nivi huka hua, ki ri vuu kpi nimi jirgia ni sru nimi mma.
And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
19 Nivi u tra bi tindu mi jirgi ba vu kpi ndu mba vra hle nimi mma ni womba.
And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 Niwa Irji mba tsintse bana kpan nitawu wu vi gbugbuwu, mba wa kikle ngyungyu a ri si fu ta, yo sron ndi ki nawo a kado.
And 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.
21 Niwa ba hi hama ni biri wu nton bran, niki Bulus a lu kri nimi bi tindu ba nda tre ndi, “Indji, binina wo me, nina kuu dran rjini Crete na, nitu du yi na kpa nkpan mba kahle yina.
And 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.
22 Zizan mi nron yi nitu du yi he ni gbengblen sron, ndrjo na ka he ni vri mana, i jirgia megen ki hon u.
And 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.
23 Ni chu la rhen Maleka u Irji wa me mi u ma, wa mi nzu hon ni bre - Maleka ma a whi nime
For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
24 nda tre ndi, “Na ti sissri na, Bulus. Wu hi kri ni shishi Caesar, ni to indji ni lo sron ma a nu wawu indji wa ba si dran ni wu.”
Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Nitu ki, vu sron, indji, nitu mi nyme ni Irji ndi a niye he to wa ba hla mua.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
26 I ki zi hle ni nklan meme ri.”
And we must come unto a certain island.
27 Ni chu wu vi wu wlon don nza a yea, niwa a sia gbita hi ni wa mba nia mu ni kpatrema wu Adriatic, ni tsutsu chu bi ndu jirgima ba ban ya ndi ba sia ye hwehwire ni meme.
But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
28 Ba ban ya ni ikpi ndu mba nda to ndi a don tsra za tso don tandra, i hu nton fii ba la tsra nda to ndi a hi za wlon don ton.
Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.
29 Ba tie sissri ndi ki ye kurjoku nzi kpa ni tita, niki ba si nkan nzia wu jirgi rjini tu ma nda bre ndi du mble kpan gbagbla.
Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 Bi tindu nimi jirgi ba sia ya nkon u ka jirgia don nda si vi tsitsa irgi'a chuwo grji ri nimi kpan tren maa nda ta gyru ndi basi ta nkan ghu'a ri ni ko shishi ma (ghu'a).
But 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,
31 I Bulus a tre ni chubiku baba sojoji ba, “Indji biyi batina kinimi jirgia na, ba na nawo na.”
Paul said to the centurion, and to the soldiers: Except these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
32 Niki sojoji ba ba sren rjiri wu tsitsa jirgia nda duu zren hi.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Niwa mble asi kpan niye, Bulus a nronba wawumba ndi duba rhi biri. A tre ndi, luwa hi vi wu wlon don nza wa bi zi kri gben hama ni rhi biri - bina rhi kpe na.
And 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.
34 Niki mi yoyi ni du yi ga vi biri, kima yi ni kpayi chuwo. Nitu indji ri me nimimbi na wa wlo nfutu ma ri hama nituma na.”
Wherefore 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.
35 Niwa a tre toyi kle, a ban bredi nda ngyiri ni Irji ni shishi mba. Niki a nzi bredia nda lu si tan (rhi).
And 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.
36 Niki wawumba ba kri ti gbengblen sron nda ban biri rhi ngame.
Then were they all of better cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 Kina vri indji 276 (deri ha ni sabain don tanne) ni mi jirgia.
And we were in all in the ship, two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 Niwa ba rhi wrji, ba ju alkama vra hle ni kpan trema nitu du jirgi na ron bran na.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting the wheat into the sea.
39 Niwa mble a nhra, bana mla to memea na, i ba to kofron ri ni meme nyu ma, nda sronmu ndi koka duba tru jirgia hi niki.
And 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.
40 Niki ba han rjirji nkan ba rju nda kaba don ni kpantre ma'a. Ni nton kima ngame ba si rjirji wa ba kma jirgia niwu, nda nzu nkanwu ko shishi jirgia hon his shu, niki ba yo tu hi ni bubu zontu kpantre maa.
And 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.
41 I jirgia a ka son chi ni meme nda kukri nkpan jirgia a vu meme kri nda na chu zren na i kurar jirgi a nzi nitu gbengblen ngyungyu wa a hea.
And 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.
42 Sojoi ba ba wa nkon wu wuu bi mitro ba nitu du rimba na dran hi nda nawo na.
And the soldiers’ counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
43 I Chu bi kua ata son kpa Bulus chuwo, niki a zuba ni nkon kima, nda du biwa ba to dran du ba za guchi nda hi ni bubu meme.
But 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.
44 I imbru indji ba baka hugon, bari nitu ngma bla kunkron, i bari nitu kpi bari rjini jirgia. Ni nkon yi a he ndi wawu mbu kika ri ni tu meme piame.
And 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.
