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 going on board a ship of Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts 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 landed at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends, and receive their care.
4 Te lamkah ka nong uh vaengah khohli te a kingkalh la a om dongah Kupros la ka rhaelrham uh.
And thence putting to sea, 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 having sailed over the sea along 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 about to sail for Italy, put us on board of 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 sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, 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 coasting along it with difficulty we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.
9 A tue muep khum tih yaehnah khaw a poeng coeng dongah yincaeh khaw bungtloh rhilcik la om coeng.
And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised 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 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 believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was 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 as the harbor was not well situated for wintering, the greater part advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.
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 a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along 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 rushed 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 caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven 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 small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession 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 taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should run into the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so were driven.
18 A vuen ah kaimih te kulhkulh a n'yawn dongah a yanghoepnah a saii uh.
And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;
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 movables 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 as neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved was 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 after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves 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 will 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 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 stand before Caesar; and lo, God hath given thee all those 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 will be just as it hath been 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 had come on, as we were driven onward in the Adriatic sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were near 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 sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and having gone a little further and sounded again, they 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.
then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, 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.
And as the sailors were seeking means to escape from the ship, when they had lowered the boat into the sea, under the pretence that they were about to carry 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, If these men do not 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 food; saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye have waited, 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 exhort you to take food; for this is for your safety; for there shall not a hair be lost from the head of one 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 thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and having 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 food.
37 Te vaengah sangpho khuikah hinglu boeih tah yahnih sawmrhih parhuk lo uh.
And there were of us in the ship in all 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 had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the grain 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; but they observed a certain creek having a beach, into which they determined, if possible, to run 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 cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea, and at the same time unfastening the rudder-bands, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made toward 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.
And falling into a place having the sea on both sides, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the stern was breaking to pieces 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 on the part of the soldiers there was a plan to kill the prisoners, lest any one 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, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and ordered those who could swim to 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 others on something from the ship. And in this way it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
