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 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.
Embarking in a ship from Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea; 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.
The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and 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.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Kilikia ingkaw Pamphylia tuikeng tuicunli ce poeng unyng saw Kilikia qam awhkaw Mura khaw awh dym unyng.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off 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.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
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.
When we had sailed slowly many days, and had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite 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.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near 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.
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, 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 the voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the cargo and the 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.
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 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.
Because the haven was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised going to sea from there, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winter there, which is a port of Crete, looking northeast and southeast.
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.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Iqyt awm a di hlanawh, thlungben khaw law benna kaw khawhli ce tuilak cung benna kawng hli law hy.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
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.
When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
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.
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure 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.
After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
18 Ceamyihna khawhli ing ani zawn khqi dawngawh, a khawngawi nyn awhtaw lawng awhkaw ik-oeih ak qihkhqi ce tui na khawng uhy.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Am thum nyn awhtaw, a mimah a kut qoe qoe ing lawng awhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ce tui na khawng uhy.
On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
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.
When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small storm pressed on us, all hope that we would be saved was now 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.
When they had been long without food, Paul stood up in the middle of them, and said, "Sirs, you should have listened to me, and not have set sail from Crete, and have gotten this injury 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.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only 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 an angel, belonging to the 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, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who 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.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 Han a tuilak cung awh num taw ni taai lawk khqi ngai ngai bit kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
But we must run aground 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 had come, as we were driven back and forth in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors surmised that they were drawing near to some land.
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.
They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found 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.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
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.
As the sailors were trying to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they would lay out anchors from 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, "Unless these stay 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 away the ropes of the boat, and let it 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.
While the day was coming on, Paul urged them all to take some food, saying, "This day is the fourteenth day that you wait and continue 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.
Therefore I urge you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
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.
When he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and he broke it, and began to eat.
36 Cawh aming ngaih ding boeih nawh thlang vang ing buh ce ai uhy.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Lawng awh ak ngawikhqi boeih taw thlang 276 law unyng.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Buh ak phyi na ami ai coeng awhtaw, lawng ce a zangnaak bet aham cang ce tui awh khawng uhy.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing 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.
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
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.
Casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes. Hoisting up the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
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.
But coming to a place where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground. The bow struck and remained immovable, but the stern began to break up by 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.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would 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, desiring to save Paul, stopped them from their purpose, and commanded that those who could swim should throw themselves overboard first to go toward the 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 should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.
