Caeltueih 27
1 Lai a tloek phoeiah Italy la ka kat uh. Paul khaw, a tloe thongtla hlangvang rhoek te khaw angrhaeng caem kah rhalboei, a ming ah Julius taengah a tloeng uh.
And when it was determined that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the Augustan band.
2 Asia hmuen la hlaikan ham ka cai uh vanbangla Adramutteno sangpho dongah ka ngol uh tih ka kat uh. Te vaengah Thessalonika kah Makedonia hoel Aristarkhu khaw kaimih taengah om.
And embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail unto the places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 Tekah omvai atah Sidon la ka thoeng uh. Te vaengah Paul te Julius loh hluephluep a hmuh tih cuncahnah dang ham a paya rhoek taengla a caeh sak.
And the next day we touched at Sidon: and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go unto his friends and refresh himself.
4 Te lamkah ka nong uh vaengah khohli te a kingkalh la a om dongah Kupros la ka rhaelrham uh.
And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Kilikia neh Pamphylia tuidung te ka poeng uh phoeiah Lukia kah Mura la ka suntla uh.
And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
6 Te vaengah Italy la aka hlaikan Alexandria sangpho dongah rhalboei loh m'hmuh tih a khuiah kaimih te n'det.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy; and he put us therein.
7 Tedae khohnin muep ka caehnawt uh tih Kanidu te hnaeng hnaeng ka pha uh. Khohli te kaimih taengla a hooi pawt dongah Salmone kaep Krete la ka rhaelrham uh.
And when we had sailed slowly many days, and were come with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not further suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8 Haeng hnaeng ka kat uh daengah langdai tamyen la a khue hmuen pakhat, Lasea kho kaepah aka om te ka pha uh.
and with difficulty coasting along it we came unto a certain place called Fair Havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
9 A tue muep khum tih yaehnah khaw a poeng coeng dongah yincaeh khaw bungtloh rhilcik la om coeng.
And when much time was spent, and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast was now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 Paul loh a parhoih tih amih te, “Hlang rhoek aw, yincaeh ham n'cai he nganboh nganang neh hnophueih bueng mueh la sangpho neh mamih kah hinglu khaw sungdaehnah la rhenten om ni tila ka hmuh,” a ti nah.
and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of our lives.
11 Tedae Paul kah a thui dongah rhalboei loh sangphoboei neh sangpho kungmah te a hnah ngai.
But the centurion gave more heed to the master and to the owner of the ship, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 Tedae langdai te sikca la khak a om dongah a yet ngai loh coeng thai mai koinih, te lamkah nong tih khotlak tuithim neh khotlak tlangpuei la aka dan Krete langdai te pha tih Phoenix ah sikca boek ham mangtaengnah a khueh uh.
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter [there; which is] a haven of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
13 Te vaengah tuithim a cuk atah kae hamla tila mangtaengnah a khueh uh dongah Krete la rhet a khuen tih kat uh.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close in shore.
14 Tedae a koe moenih, yabung la a khue hli hueng pakhat loh sangpho te a cuuk thil.
But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euraquilo:
15 Sangpho te khaw a yawn tih khohli te oel ham a coeng pawt dongah ka duen uh tih m'payawk uh.
and when the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way [to it], and were driven.
16 Te vaengah Klaude la a khue sanglakca ah tungtai uh tih lawngca te huul ham hnaeng hnaeng ka cuu uh.
And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat:
17 Lawngca te a kuel uh tih bomnah neh a sol uh phoeiah sangpho te a yaep uh. Syrtis ah man ham a rhih uh dongah tubael te a hlak tih yoka uh.
and when they had hoisted it up, they used helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
18 A vuen ah kaimih te kulhkulh a n'yawn dongah a yanghoepnah a saii uh.
And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw [the freight] overboard;
19 Tedae a thum dongah tah sangpho kah hnopai te sulh a voeih uh.
and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 Khohnin te yet ah khomik khaw, aisi khaw thoeng pawh. Khonal te rhaih khaw ha dim voel pawt tih ka daem uh ham khaw a tloihsoi lamtah boeih hal uh coeng.
And when neither sun nor stars shone upon [us] for many days, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.
21 Tedae buhmueh la puet a om uh coeng dongah amih lakli ah Paul loh pai tih, “Hlang rhoek aw kai ol na ngai uh ham a kuek, Krete longah ng'kat ham moenih, te daengah ni nganboh nganang neh sungdaehnah he na noeng uh eh.
And when they had been long without food, then Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury and loss.
22 Tahae ah khaw ngaidip la om ham nangmih te kam parhoih. Sangpho phoeiah tah nangmih kah hinglu dongah hnawtnah om mahpawh.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there shall be no loss of life among you, but [only] of the ship.
23 Khoyin ah kai aka pai thil, kai tah amah hut la ka om tih ka bawk Pathen kah puencawn loh,
For there stood by me this night an angel of the God whose I am, whom also I serve,
24 'Paul rhih boeh, Kaisar te na pai thil ham a kuek. Tedae namah neh aka hlaikan hmaih rhoek he Pathen loh nang taengla boeih han tloeng coeng he,’ a ti.
saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Cæsar: and lo, God hath granted thee all them that sail with thee.
25 Te dongah hlang rhoek aw ngaidip la om uh. Aka om ham khaw kai taengah a longim van bangla a thui tila Pathen te ka tangnah.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even so as it hath been spoken unto me.
26 Tedae sanglak pakhat ah tah mamih n'tungtai ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
But we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 Hnin hlaili a pha hlaem, Andria ah ka yo uh vaengkah khoyin bangli ah sangpho hlang rhoek loh, “Kho khat khat la n'thak coeng,” a ti uh.
But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven to and fro in the [sea of] Adria, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some country:
28 Te dongah a nuemnai vaengah lam kul lo tila a ming uh. Rhaih khoe uh bal tih koep a nuemnai uh vaengah lam hlainga la a ming uh.
and they sounded, and found twenty fathoms; and after a little space, they sounded again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Te dongah lungrhong hmuen te ka tungtai thil mai koinih tila a rhih uh. A maicaem ah cumkai pali a voeih uh tih khothaih la poeh mai saeh tila thangthui uh.
And fearing lest haply we should be cast ashore on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for the day.
30 Te vaengah sangpho hlang rhoek loh sangpho te rhaelrham tak ham toem uh thae. Te phoeiah lawngca te tuili la a hlak uh. Mueituengnah mailai la samkai te a lu lamloh yueng ham cai uh.
And as the sailors were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, under color as though they would lay out anchors from the foreship,
31 Paul loh rhalboei neh rhalkap rhoek taengah, “Sangpho khuiah na om pawt atah na daem uh thai mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Te daengah rhalkap rhoek loh lawngca rhui te a hlueng uh tih a colh sak uh.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Tedae khothaih a pha tom duela hlang boeih buh vael ham Paul loh a hloep tih, “Tihnin ah hnin hlaili buhmueh la na om uh tih na lamso uh dae na dang uh moenih.
And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take some food, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye wait and continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Te dongah buh vael ham nangmih kan cael. Te daengah ni nangmih ham khangnah a om eh. Na lu lamkah sam pataeng poci mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you.
35 Te rhoek te a thui phoeiah vaidam te a loh tih hlang boeih hmaiah Pathen te a uem phoeiah caak hamla koe a aeh pah.
And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat.
36 Te vaengah amih khaw voelphoeng la boeih om uh tih buh a vael uh.
Then were they all of good cheer, and themselves also took food.
37 Te vaengah sangpho khuikah hinglu boeih tah yahnih sawmrhih parhuk lo uh.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
38 Buh a cung uh phoeiah cangyen te tuili khuila a voeih uh tih sangpho te a yanghoep sakuh.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Khothaih a pha vaengah kho khaw ming uh pawt dae, tuiken tuikaeng pakhat a om te a hmat uh dongah a coeng thai atah sangpho khaw te lam te rholh ham a moeh uh.
And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they perceived a certain bay with a beach, and they took counsel whether they could drive the ship upon it.
40 Te dongah cumkai te a duul uh tih tuili khuila a hlah uh phoeiah lawngkaih rhui khaw pahoi a hlam uh. Te phoeiah khohli ben la baiyan te a phuel uh tih tuikaeng la a kaih uh.
And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time loosing the bands of the rudders; and hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 Tedae tuirhum hmuen pakhat te a toh dongah sangpho khaw vik man. A lu a sut te a cakrhuet la om. Tuiphu kah vikvueknah loh sangpho maicaem khaw vik poci.
But lighting upon a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the foreship struck and remained unmoveable, but the stern began to break up by the violence [of the waves].
42 Te vaengah thongtla rhoek te pakhat khaw tuiya tih yong boel saeh a ti dongah ngawn hamla rhalkap rhoek kah mangtaengnah khaw om.
And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any [of them] should swim out, and escape.
43 Tedae rhalboei loh Paul te daem sak a ngaih dongah amih kongaih te a buem pah. Te dongah, tuiya ham aka coeng thai rhoek te lamhma la cungpung sak tih lan la bal ham.
But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, stayed them from their purpose; and commanded that they who could swim should cast themselves overboard, and get first to the land;
44 A tloe rhoek te thingphael dongah mai khaw, sangpho lamkah hnopai khat khat dongah khaw caeh sak ham ol a paek. Te dongah sading la lan boeih a pha uh van.
and the rest, some on planks, and some on [other] things from the ship. And so it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to the land.
