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.
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 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 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 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 treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends to get proper supplies.
4 Te lamkah ka nong uh vaengah khohli te a kingkalh la a om dongah Kupros la ka rhaelrham uh.
And when we departed from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Kilikia neh Pamphylia tuidung te ka poeng uh phoeiah Lukia kah Mura la ka suntla uh.
And sailing through the sea of 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 finding a ship of Alexandria bound for Italy, he put us on board it.
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 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 Haeng hnaeng ka kat uh daengah langdai tamyen la a khue hmuen pakhat, Lasea kho kaepah aka om te ka pha uh.
And passing it with difficulty, we came to a place called the Fair-havens, near to which 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 as much time was spent, and sailing was now dangerous, (for the fast was now past, ) Paul exhorted 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.
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 Tedae Paul kah a thui dongah rhalboei loh sangphoboei neh sangpho kungmah te a hnah ngai.
But the centurion regarded the pilot and the master of the vessel, more than the things that were said 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 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 Te vaengah tuithim a cuk atah kae hamla tila mangtaengnah a khueh uh dongah Krete la rhet a khuen tih kat uh.
And as the south wind blew gently, thinking they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed close by Crete.
14 Tedae a koe moenih, yabung la a khue hli hueng pakhat loh sangpho te a cuuk thil.
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon.
15 Sangpho te khaw a yawn tih khohli te oel ham a coeng pawt dongah ka duen uh tih m'payawk uh.
And the ship being hurried on, and not able to face the wind, we gave it up and so were carried along.
16 Te vaengah Klaude la a khue sanglakca ah tungtai uh tih lawngca te huul ham hnaeng hnaeng ka cuu uh.
And running under a certain island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of 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.
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 A vuen ah kaimih te kulhkulh a n'yawn dongah a yanghoepnah a saii uh.
And as we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
19 Tedae a thum dongah tah sangpho kah hnopai te sulh a voeih uh.
and the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship too.
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 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 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.
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 Tahae ah khaw ngaidip la om ham nangmih te kam parhoih. Sangpho phoeiah tah nangmih kah hinglu dongah hnawtnah om mahpawh.
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 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 God, whose I am, and whom I serve, saying,
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.
Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Cesar, and behold God hath given thee all that are sailing 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 courage; for I trust in God, that it shall be so, according as it was told me.
26 Tedae sanglak pakhat ah tah mamih n'tungtai ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
But we must be cast upon some 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.
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 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 sounding they found it twenty fathoms; and when they had gone a little farther, and sounded again, they found it 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.
Then fearing least they should fall upon some rocky places, they cast four anchors out of the stern and wished for 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.
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 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, Unless these men stay 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 off the ropes of the boat, and let it 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 exhorted them all to take some food, saying, Fourteen days this day ye continue waiting without proper food, 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 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 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 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 Te vaengah amih khaw voelphoeng la boeih om uh tih buh a vael uh.
And being all encouraged they also took some food.
37 Te vaengah sangpho khuikah hinglu boeih tah yahnih sawmrhih parhuk lo uh.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 Buh a cung uh phoeiah cangyen te tuili khuila a voeih uh tih sangpho te a yanghoep sakuh.
And when they were satisfied with food, they lightened the ship and cast out the corn 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 counsel of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, least 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, 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 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 others on some other things out of the ship. And so it came to pass that they all got safe to land.
