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 into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto [one] named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ 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 entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; [one] 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 courteously entreated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
4 Te lamkah ka nong uh vaengah khohli te a kingkalh la a om dongah Kupros la ka rhaelrham uh.
And when we had launched 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 when we had sailed over 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 found a ship of Alexandria sailing into 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 scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under 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, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The 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.
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, 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 this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
11 Tedae Paul kah a thui dongah rhalboei loh sangphoboei neh sangpho kungmah te a hnah ngai.
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than 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 depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] an haven of Crete, and lieth toward 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 when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they 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 when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let [her] drive.
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 which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by 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 taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
18 A vuen ah kaimih te kulhkulh a n'yawn dongah a yanghoepnah a saii uh.
And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, 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.
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 in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was then 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 Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm 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 [any man’s] life among you, but 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 the angel of God, whose I am, and whom 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 be brought before Cæsar: and, lo, God hath given 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 as it was told me.
26 Tedae sanglak pakhat ah tah mamih n'tungtai ham a kuek,” a ti nah.
Howbeit 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 up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew 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 sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and 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 lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of 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 shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of 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 off 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 meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued 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 pray you to take [some] meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an 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 when he had thus spoken, 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.
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took [some] meat.
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, and cast 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 discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in 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 committed [themselves] unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward 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.
And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with 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, willing to save Paul, kept them from [their] purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast [themselves] first [into the sea], and get 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 boards, and some on [broken pieces] of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
