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 as it was determined that we should set sail into Italy, they delivered Paul, and some other prisoners, to a centurions of the Augustan Band, whose name was Julius.
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 going on board a ship of Adramyttis, we weighed anchor, intending to sail by the coasts of Asia; Aristarchus, a Macedonian, of Thessalonica, being 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 next day we reached Sidon: and Julius, treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends, and to enjoy the benefit of their care.
4 Rji niki, ki hon tu ma ndi zren ni suka wu Cyprus, whewhire ni nklan memea, nitu kikle ngyungyu ata gbita.
And weighing anchor 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 through the sea over against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of 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, bound for italy, put us on board of 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 we had sailed slowly for several days, and were hardly got over against Cnidus, the wind now permitting us; we sailed under Crete, over against 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 passing it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called the Fair Havens, in the neighborhood of which, was the city of 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,
And, as much time was spent, and sailing was now hazardous, because the fast was already over, 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.”
saying to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with injury and great damage, not only to the lading and to the ship, but also to our lives.
11 I Centurion a yo ton ni tiko mba indji wu jirgia zan kpi wa Bulus a hla a.
But the centurion paid greater regard to the pilot, and the master of the vessel, than to those things which were spoken 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 as the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from thence, if they might possibly reach Phenice, to winter there;
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.
which is a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest: and as the south win blew gently, supposing they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor, and sailed on close to 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 her a tempestuous wind, which is 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 as the ship was violently hurried away, and was not able to bear up against the wind, we gave her up, and 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.
An running under a certain island, called Clauda, we were hardly able to get masters of 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, when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing, lest they should fall upon the quicksands, they struck sail, 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 were exceedingly tossed by the storm, 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 we cast out, with our 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.
Now, as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest pressed upon us, all remainder of hope that we might be delivered, was 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 when there was great want of food, then Paul, standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, you ought to have hearkened to me, and not to have loosed from Crete, and incurred this injury 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.
Nevertheless, even now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any 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 there appeared to me this night, an angel of the God whose I am, and whom I worship,
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; you must be presented before Cesar; and, behold, God has given you all them that sail with you.
25 Nitu ki, vu sron, indji, nitu mi nyme ni Irji ndi a niye he to wa ba hla mua.
Wherefore, take courage, men; for I trust in God that it shall be so, even as it was told me.
26 I ki zi hle ni nklan meme ri.”
But we must be cast upon 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.
And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were tossed up and down in the Adriatic sea, the mariners suspected, about midnight that they drew near to some land;
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 sounding, they found it twenty fathoms: and having gone a little way from thence, and sounding again, they found it 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.
And fearing lest they should fall upon some rocky shore, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished that the day would break.
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 when the mariners endeavored to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under pretense that they were about to carry out anchors from the ship-head;
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 the soldiers, Unless these continue in the ship, you can not be saved.
32 Niki sojoji ba ba sren rjiri wu tsitsa jirgia nda duu zren hi.
Then the soldiers cut off the cords of the boat, and let it 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 while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, To-day, whilst waiting for this fourteenth day, you continue fasting, having taken 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.”
I exhort you, therefore, to take a refreshment; for this is conducive to your safety: for not a hair shall 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 spoke thus, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God, before them all; and having broken it, he began to eat.
36 Niki wawumba ba kri ti gbengblen sron nda ban biri rhi ngame.
And being all encouraged, they also took some food.
37 Kina vri indji 276 (deri ha ni sabain don tanne) ni mi jirgia.
And we were in the ship, in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 Niwa ba rhi wrji, ba ju alkama vra hle ni kpan trema nitu du jirgi na ron bran na.
And being satisfied with food, they lightened the ship; and cast the corn 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 did not know the land: but they perceived a certain creek, with a shore, into which they determined, if they were able, to force 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 having cut off the anchors, leaving them in the sea, they, at the same time, loosing the rudder bands, and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, pressed toward 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.
But falling on a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground, and the fore part stuck fast, and remained immovable, while the hinder part was broken by the force of the waves.
42 Sojoi ba ba wa nkon wu wuu bi mitro ba nitu du rimba na dran hi nda nawo na.
And the counsel of the soldiers was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim away, and 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, being desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and commanded those that could swim, to throw themselves out first, into the sea, and get away 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 remainder, some upon planks, and others upon some of the things of the ship. And so it happened that they all got safe to land.
