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.
Now when it was concluded, that we should sayle into Italie, they deliuered both Paul, and certaine other prisoners vnto a Centurion named Iulius, of the band of Augustus.
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.
And we entred into a ship of Adramyttium purposing to saile by the coastes of Asia, and launched foorth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia, a Thessalonian, with vs.
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 next day we arriued at Sidon: and Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to go vnto his friends, that they might refresh him.
4 Rji niki, ki hon tu ma ndi zren ni suka wu Cyprus, whewhire ni nklan memea, nitu kikle ngyungyu ata gbita.
And from thence we launched, and sayled hard by Cyprus, because ye windes were contrarie.
5 Niwa ki zren ka rugran kpatema'a, ki vu Silisia mba Pamphylia yba, ndi ka kukri ni Myra, kikle gbu u Lycia.
Then sayled we ouer the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a citie 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 found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein.
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 we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to 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 adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea.
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,
So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted 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.”
And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues.
11 I Centurion a yo ton ni tiko mba indji wu jirgia zan kpi wa Bulus a hla a.
Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of 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 because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West.
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 when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie.
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 anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon.
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 resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away.
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 we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get 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 they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried.
18 Kikle ngyungyu a tsi ta tiya nda duta nivi huka hua, ki ri vuu kpi nimi jirgia ni sru nimi mma.
The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, 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 we cast out with our owne 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 sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then 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.
But after long abstinece, Paul stood forth in the mids of them, and said, Syrs, ye should haue hearkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candie: so should ye haue gained this hurt and losse.
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.
But now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shalbe no losse of any mans life among you, saue of the ship onely.
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 there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whome I serue,
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, Feare not, Paul: for thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath giuen vnto thee freely all that sayle 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 courage: for I beleeue God, that it shall be so as it hath bene tolde me.
26 I ki zi hle ni nklan meme ri.”
Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland.
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.
And when ye fourteenth night was come, as we were caried to and from in the Adriaticall sea about midnight, the shipmen deemed that some countrey approched vnto them,
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.
And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and found fifteene 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 least they should haue fallen into some rough places, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished that the day were come.
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).
Nowe as the mariners were about to flee out of the ship, and had let downe the boat into the sea vnder a colour as though they would haue cast ankers out of the foreship,
31 I Bulus a tre ni chubiku baba sojoji ba, “Indji biyi batina kinimi jirgia na, ba na nawo na.”
Paul sayde vnto the Centurion and the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye can not be safe.
32 Niki sojoji ba ba sren rjiri wu tsitsa jirgia nda duu zren hi.
Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away.
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 day, Paul exhorted them all to take meate, saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, receiuing 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 exhort you to take meate: for this is for your safegarde: for there shall not an heare fall from the head of any of you.
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 thus spoken, hee tooke bread and gaue thankes to God, in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eate.
36 Niki wawumba ba kri ti gbengblen sron nda ban biri rhi ngame.
Then were they all of good courage, and they also tooke meate.
37 Kina vri indji 276 (deri ha ni sabain don tanne) ni mi jirgia.
Nowe we were in the ship in all two hundreth three score and sixteene soules.
38 Niwa ba rhi wrji, ba ju alkama vra hle ni kpan trema nitu du jirgi na ron bran na.
And whe they had eaten ynough, they lightened the ship, and cast out 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 knewe not the countrey, but they spied a certaine creeke with a banke, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) 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.
So when they had taken vp the ankers, they committed the ship vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and drewe to the 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 they fell into a place, where two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stucke fast, and could not be moued, but the hinderpart was broken with the violence of the waues.
42 Sojoi ba ba wa nkon wu wuu bi mitro ba nitu du rimba na dran hi nda nawo na.
Then the souldiers counsell was to kill the prisoners, least any of them, when he had swomme out, should flee away.
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 saue Paul, stayed them from this counsell, and commanded that they that coulde swimme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and goe out 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 other, some on boardes, and some on certaine pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they came all safe to land.
