Cei 27
1 Italy qam na kaimih ka mi ceh aham awm hy, tinawh awi amik tlyk awhtaw Paul ingkaw thawng ak tlakhqi thlang vangkhqi ce Julia ak mingnaak, Augusta a qalkap zakhat ak ukkung a venawh ni pek khqi uhy.
And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus’ band.
2 Adqamuttini khaw awhkawng lawng ing Asia qam awhkaw tuicunli a keng na ak awm khawkhqi benna ceh aham tuicunli awh cet unyng. Thesalonika khaw awh ak awm Makedonia pa pynoet ce kaimih a hu awh bat lawt hy.
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 A khawngawi nyn awh Sidon khaw awh dym unyng; Paul ing a ngoengaihnaakkhqi a thoeh thainaak aham Julia ing qeennaak ing Paul ce a pyikhqi venna ceh sak hy.
And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go to his friends to refresh himself.
4 Cawhkawng ce tuicunli awh cet tlaih bai unyng, khaw a hli dawngawh khawhli a dipnaak benna kawng Kupra tuilak cung ce poeng unyng.
And when we had launched from there, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Kilikia ingkaw Pamphylia tuikeng tuicunli ce poeng unyng saw Kilikia qam awhkaw Mura khaw awh dym unyng.
And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Ce a hunawh qalkap zakhat ukkung ing Italy qam benna ak cet Alexandria lawng ce hu nawh ce a lawng awh ce ngawi pahoei unyng.
And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
7 Khawnghi ka mi di awh Kanidu khaw ce a kyinaak ak khuiawh kawng pha unyng. Khawhli ing ama ning dym sak thai khqi dawngawh Salmoni vang ben caqai awh ak awm khawhli a sitnaak Krete tuilak cung benna cet unyng.
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 Tuikeng keng awh a kyinaak ak khuiawh kawng cet poe unyng saw, Lasea khaw venawh ak awm lawng dymnaak leek a mi ti a hun ce pha unyng.
And, hardly passing it, came to a place which is called The fair havens; near to where was the city of Lasea.
9 Khawnghi a boeih awh, Buhzeihnaak awm a boeih hawh dawngawh lawng ing ceh ve kqih awm soeih soeih hawh hy. Cedawngawh Paul ing cekkhqi venawh ngaihtaaknaak awi kqawn pek khqi hy.
Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
10 “Koeinaakhqi, tuh ningnih ni cehnaak ve a kqih awm soeih hy, ni cehnaak lawng ingkaw ik-oeihkhqi aham awm kqih awm nawh, nimah a hqingnaak aham dy awm kqih awm hy,” tinak khqi hy.
And said to 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 Cehlai paul ing ak kqawn peek awi ce qalkap zakhat ukkung ing ang ngai peek kaana, lawng ak mawngkung ingkaw lawng ak takung ak awi ce ngai pe lat hy.
Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 Chikca awh lawng dymnaak aham ama nep dawngawh, thlang khawzah ing ceh poe aham ce ngaih uhy, Phoiniki khaw ce pha nawh cawh ce chikca hawnaak aham ngaih uhy. Cawhkaw lawng dymnaak cetaw Krete tuilak cung khawtlaak ben nakaw thlung ingkaw kham benawh awm bawk hy.
And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart there also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lies toward the south west and north west.
13 Kham ben nakaw zilh ce ak heng cana a hli awh, ami ngaihnaak amyihna ce awm hawh hy, tinawh amik poek dawngawh lawng ami kingnaak qui ce hlam unawh Krete tuikeng awh ce cet poe unyng.
And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing there, they sailed close by Crete.
14 Iqyt awm a di hlanawh, thlungben khaw law benna kaw khawhli ce tuilak cung benna kawng hli law hy.
But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 Lawng ce khawhli ing zawn nawh zilh ce ak tha a awm dawngawh hai benna ce am cet thai voel hy; lawng ce hlah hqoeng unawh zilh ing a ngaih ngaih na zawn hy.
And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
16 khawhli a sitnaak tuilak cung ak zawi ca Kauda ami ti ce ka mi poeng awh, a kyinaak ak khuiawh kawng loetnaak lawng ak zawica ce tu thai unyng.
And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
17 Cawhkaw lawng ak zawica ce lawng awh amik dawh awh, qui nuk thla unawh lawng awh king qap uhy. Syrtis dizui ce lawng ing su hau kaw ami ti dawngawh, hizan ce dawk uhy, cedawngawh lawng ce khawhli ing a ngaih ngaih na zawn hy.
Which when they had taken up, they used helps, under girding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck sail, and so were driven.
18 Ceamyihna khawhli ing ani zawn khqi dawngawh, a khawngawi nyn awhtaw lawng awhkaw ik-oeih ak qihkhqi ce tui na khawng uhy.
And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
19 Am thum nyn awhtaw, a mimah a kut qoe qoe ing lawng awhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ce tui na khawng uhy.
And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
20 Khawnghi khawqyt awh khawmik aihchi awm am dang qoe nawh khaw a hli law khqoet khqoet awhtaw, loet kawng unyng tinawh poeknaak qoe qoe am ta voel unyng.
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 Buh a ai kaana khawnghi khawqyt ami awm awh, Paul ing cekkhqi a haiawh dyi nawh, “Koeinaakhqi, kai ing Krete benna kawng am ni ceh aham kak kqawn ce naming ngai mantaw vawhkaw khuikhanaak ingkaw sungnaak ve amni hu hlai voei uh.
But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the middle of them, and said, Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22 Cehlai tuh awhtaw naming ngaih qep sak hlah uh, u a ca pynoet awm am qeeng kawm uk ti, lawng vetaw see hawh kaw.
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 Zan khawmthan kang mang awh a bi ka bi peek ka Khawsa ak khan ceityih pynoet ce ka haiawh dyi nawh,
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 “Paul, koeh kqih, Kaisara a haiawh awideng aham dyi ngai ngai bit kawp ti, nang mi lawng awh amik cetkhqi a hqingnaak boeih ce Khawsa ing qeennaak ing nang a venawh ni pe hawh hy,’ ni tina hy.
Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, see, God has given you all them that sail with you.
25 Cedawngawh koeinaakhqi namik kaw caksak uh, Khawsa awh cangnaak ka taak dawngawh ak kqawn law amyihna awm ngai ngai bit kaw.
Why, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
26 Han a tuilak cung awh num taw ni taai lawk khqi ngai ngai bit kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
However, we must be cast on a certain island.
27 Khawnghi hqanyn awh ak phlinaak khawmthan awh Adriatic Tuicunli awh khawhli ing ani zawn khqi hui awh, thanlung awh lawng ak mawngkungkhqi ing hanawh kaw ceng nu zoe law voe voe hawh hy tinawh sim uhy.
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 Tui tahnaak ing tui ce ami tah awh dawng kqetkip dung hy. A khoeh a awm awh ami tah tlaih awh dawng khqukkip dung bai hy.
And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
29 lawng ing lungnu su hau kaw ami ti dawngawh, a kingnaak thi koeiloen pupthli ce thla unawh khawkdai ce cykcahnaak ing qeh unyng.
Then fearing lest we should have fallen on rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
30 Lawng awhkawng loet aham ami ngaih dawngawh, lawng ak mawngkhqi ing lawng ce tui awh nuk thla uhy, lawng ami kingnaak thi koeiloen amik nuk thlak amyihna sa qu unawh nuk kqum uhy.
And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under color as though they would have cast anchors out of the bow,
31 Cawh Paul ing qalkap zakhat ukkung ingkaw qalkapkhqi venawh, “Ve ak thlangkhqi ve lawng awh ama mi awm mai mantaw, am loet hly tang uhyk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, you cannot be saved.
32 Cedawngawh qalkapkhqi ing lawng ami kingnaak qui ce tlyk boet unawh lawng ce tui awh hlah hqoeng uhy.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
33 Khaw a dai law tawm awhtaw Paul ing cekkhqi boeih ce buh ai aham kqawn pehy. “Ni hu khawnghi pahqa hlaihphli khuiawh, buh a ai kaana ngaihkyi kawboet ing awm uhyk ti.
And while the day was coming on, Paul sought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that you have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Tuh awhtaw buh ai hlah uh. Buh nami ai awh ni khawnghi nami khah hly. Nangmih ak khuiawh u ingawm nami lu awhkaw lusam pin pynoet zani am hqui kawm uk ti,” tinak khqi hy.
Why 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 Cemyihna awi ak kqawn peek khqi coengawh, phaihpi ce lo nawh a mingmih boeih a haina Khawsa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn hy. Cekcoengawh phaihpi ce thek nawh ai uhy.
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 Cawh aming ngaih ding boeih nawh thlang vang ing buh ce ai uhy.
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
37 Lawng awh ak ngawikhqi boeih taw thlang 276 law unyng.
And we were in all in the ship two hundred three score and sixteen souls.
38 Buh ak phyi na ami ai coeng awhtaw, lawng ce a zangnaak bet aham cang ce tui awh khawng uhy.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39 Khaw a dai law awhtaw, han a hun awhkaw dek hy voei nu tice am sim hlai uhy, dizui ce hu uhy. Cedawngawh ang coeng thai awhtaw cawhkaw ceng awh lawng ce dym sak aham cai uhy.
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 A kingnaak quikhqi tlyk unawh tuicunli awh cehta hyt uhy, Cekcoengawh lawng ami kaihnaak quikhqi awm hlam boeh boeh uhy. Zilh a law hawi unawh lawng ce ceng benna zawn sak uhy.
And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
41 Cehlai lawng ing ceng awhkaw dizui ce su hy. Lawng a lu ing dizui ce a suk a dawngawh am tat thai voel hy, cehlai lawng a huben taw tuih tha a awm aih dawngawh ek boeh boeh hy.
And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmovable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
42 Thawng ak tlakhqi boeih ce tui awh zo unawh cen kanglak kawm uh, ami ti dawngawh qalkapkhqi ing him boeh boeh aham cai uhy.
And the soldiers’ counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
43 Cehlai qalkap zakhat ak ukkung ing Paul ce hlyn aham a ngaih dawngawh cekkhqi ing aming cainaak ce kham pek khqi hy. Cedawngawh u awm tui ak zo thai taw lawng awhkawng ceng na tui awh ami zo aham awi pek khqi hy.
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 Thlang vang tloek bai taw a vang thingpen ak khan ingkaw lawng ak keek awh awm aham awi pehy. Ceamyihna sai unawh thlang boeih ing ak soep cana ceng ce pha uhy.
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.
