Walipokwisha amua tusafiri mpaka Italia, walimweka Paulo pamoja na wafungwa wengine chini ya ulinzi wa Yulio aliyekuwa ofisa wa jeshi katika kikosi kiitwacho “Kikosi cha Augusto.”
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.
Tulipanda meli ya Adiramito iliyokuwa inasafiri na kupitia bandari kadhaa za mkoa wa Asia, tukaanza safari. Aristarko, mwenyeji wa Makedonia kutoka Thesalonika, alikuwa pamoja nasi.
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.
Kesho yake tulitia nanga katika bandari ya Sidoni. Yulio alimtendea Paulo vizuri kwa kumruhusu awaone rafiki zake na kupata mahitaji yake.
4 Cawhkawng ce tuicunli awh cet tlaih bai unyng, khaw a hli dawngawh khawhli a dipnaak benna kawng Kupra tuilak cung ce poeng unyng.
Kutoka huko tuliendelea na safari, lakini kwa kuwa upepo ulikuwa unavuma kwa kasi kutujia kwa mbele, tulipitia upande wa kisiwa cha Kupro ambapo upepo haukuwa mwingi.
5 Kilikia ingkaw Pamphylia tuikeng tuicunli ce poeng unyng saw Kilikia qam awhkaw Mura khaw awh dym unyng.
Halafu tulivuka bahari ya Kilikia na Pamfulia, tukatia nanga Mura, mji wa Lukia.
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.
Hapo yule ofisa alikuta meli moja ya Aleksandria iliyokuwa inakwenda Italia, na hivyo akatupandisha ndani.

Kwa muda wa siku nyingi tulisafiri polepole, na kwa shida tulifika karibu na Nido. Kwa sababu upepo ulikuwa bado unatupinga, tuliendelea mbele moja kwa moja tukapitia upande wa Krete karibu na rasi Salmone ambapo upepo haukuwa mwingi.
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.
Tulipita kando yake polepole tukafika mahali paitwapo “Bandari Nzuri”, karibu na mji wa 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.
Muda mrefu ulikuwa umepita, na hata siku ya kufunga ilikuwa imekwisha pita. Sasa ilikuwa hatari sana kusafiri kwa meli. Basi, Paulo aliwapa onyo:
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.
“Waheshimiwa, nahisi kwamba safari hii itakuwa ya shida na hasara nyingi si kwa shehena na meli tu, bali pia kwa maisha yetu.”
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.
Lakini yule ofisa alivutiwa zaidi na maoni ya nahodha na ya mwenye meli kuliko yale aliyosema Paulo.
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.
Kwa kuwa bandari hiyo haikuwa mahali pazuri pa kukaa wakati wa baridi, wengi walipendelea kuendelea na safari, ikiwezekana mpaka Foinike. Foinike ni bandari ya Krete inayoelekea kusini-magharibi na kaskazini-magharibi; na huko wangeweza kukaa wakati wa baridi.
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.
Basi, upepo mzuri wa kusi ulianza kuvuma, nao wakadhani wamefanikiwa lengo lao; hivyo wakang'oa nanga, wakaiendesha meli karibu sana na pwani ya Krete.
14 Iqyt awm a di hlanawh, thlungben khaw law benna kaw khawhli ce tuilak cung benna kawng hli law hy.
Lakini haukupita muda, upepo mkali uitwao “Upepo wa Kaskazi” ulianza kuvuma kutoka kisiwani.
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.
Upepo uliipiga ile meli, na kwa kuwa hatukuweza kuukabili, tukaiacha ikokotwe na huo upepo.
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.
Kisiwa kimoja kiitwacho Kanda kilitukinga kidogo na ule upepo; na tulipopita kusini mwake tulifaulu, ingawa kwa shida, kuusalimisha ule mtumbwi wa meli.
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.
Wale wanamaji waliuvuta mtumbwi ndani, kisha wakaizungushia meli kamba na kuifunga kwa nguvu. Waliogopa kwamba wangeweza kukwama kwenye ufuko wa bahari, pwani ya Libya. Kwa hiyo walishusha matanga na kuiacha meli ikokotwe na upepo.
18 Ceamyihna khawhli ing ani zawn khqi dawngawh, a khawngawi nyn awhtaw lawng awhkaw ik-oeih ak qihkhqi ce tui na khawng uhy.
Dhoruba iliendelea kuvuma na kesho yake wakaanza kutupa nje shehena ya meli.
19 Am thum nyn awhtaw, a mimah a kut qoe qoe ing lawng awhkaw ik-oeihkhqi ce tui na khawng uhy.
Siku ya tatu, wakaanza pia kutupa majini vifaa vya meli kwa mikono yao wenyewe.
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.
Kwa muda wa siku nyingi hatukuweza kuona jua wala nyota; dhoruba iliendelea kuvuma sana, hata matumaini yote ya kuokoka yakatuishia.
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.
Baada ya kukaa muda mrefu bila kula chakula, Paulo alisimama kati yao, akasema, “Waheshimiwa, ingalikuwa afadhali kama mngalinisikiliza na kuacha kusafiri kutoka Krete. Kama mngalifanya hivyo tungaliiepuka shida hii na hasara hizi zote.
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.
Lakini sasa ninawaombeni muwe na moyo; hakuna hata mmoja wenu atakayepoteza maisha yake; meli tu ndiyo itakayopotea.
23 Zan khawmthan kang mang awh a bi ka bi peek ka Khawsa ak khan ceityih pynoet ce ka haiawh dyi nawh,
Kwa maana jana usiku malaika wa yule Mungu ambaye mimi ni wake na ambaye mimi ninamwabudu alinitokea,
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.
akaniambia: Paulo usiogope! Ni lazima utasimama mbele ya Kaisari; naye Mungu, kwa wema wake, amekufadhili kwa kuwaokoa wote wanaosafiri nawe wasiangamie.
25 Cedawngawh koeinaakhqi namik kaw caksak uh, Khawsa awh cangnaak ka taak dawngawh ak kqawn law amyihna awm ngai ngai bit kaw.
Hivyo, waheshimiwa, jipeni moyo! Maana ninamwamini Mungu kwamba itakuwa sawa kama nilivyoambiwa.
26 Han a tuilak cung awh num taw ni taai lawk khqi ngai ngai bit kaw,” tinak khqi hy.
Lakini ni lazima tutatupwa ufukoni mwa kisiwa fulani.”
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.
Usiku wa siku ya kumi na nne, tulikuwa tunakokotwa huku na huku katika bahari ya Adria. Karibu na usiku wa manane wanamaji walijihisi kuwa karibu na nchi kavu.
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.
Hivyo walitafuta kina cha bahari kwa kuteremsha kamba iliyokuwa imefungiwa kitu kizito, wakapata kina cha mita arobaini. Baadaye wakapima tena wakapata mita thelathini.
29 lawng ing lungnu su hau kaw ami ti dawngawh, a kingnaak thi koeiloen pupthli ce thla unawh khawkdai ce cykcahnaak ing qeh unyng.
Kwa sababu ya kuogopa kukwama kwenye miamba, waliteremsha nanga nne nyuma ya meli; wakaomba kuche upesi.
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.
Wanamaji walitaka kutoroka, na walikwisha kuteremsha ule mtumbwi majini, wakijisingizia kwamba wanakwenda kuteremsha nanga upande wa mbele wa meli.
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.
Lakini Paulo alimwambia yule ofisa wa jeshi na askari wake, “Kama wanamaji hawa hawabaki ndani ya meli, hamtaokoka.”
32 Cedawngawh qalkapkhqi ing lawng ami kingnaak qui ce tlyk boet unawh lawng ce tui awh hlah hqoeng uhy.
Hapo wale askari walizikata kamba zilizokuwa zimeshikilia ule mtumbwi, wakauacha uchukuliwe na maji.
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.
Karibu na alfajiri, Paulo aliwahimiza wote wale chakula: “Kwa siku kumi na nne sasa mmekuwa katika mashaka na bila kula; hamjala kitu chochote.
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.
Basi, ninawasihi mle chakula kwa maana mnakihitaji ili mweze kuendelea kuishi. Maana hata unywele mmoja wa vichwa vyenu hautapotea.”
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.
Baada ya kusema hivyo, Paulo alichukua mkate, akamshukuru Mungu mbele yao wote, akaumega, akaanza kula.
36 Cawh aming ngaih ding boeih nawh thlang vang ing buh ce ai uhy.
Hapo wote wakapata moyo, nao pia wakala chakula.
37 Lawng awh ak ngawikhqi boeih taw thlang 276 law unyng.
Jumla tulikuwa watu mia mbili na sabini na sita katika meli.
38 Buh ak phyi na ami ai coeng awhtaw, lawng ce a zangnaak bet aham cang ce tui awh khawng uhy.
Baada ya kila mmoja kula chakula cha kutosha, walipunguza uzito wa meli kwa kutupa nafaka baharini.
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.
Kulipokucha, wanamaji hawakuweza kuitambua nchi ile, ila waliona ghuba moja yenye ufuko; wakaamua kutia nanga huko kama ikiwezekana.
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.
Hivyo walikata nanga na kuziacha baharini, na wakati huohuo wakazifungua kamba zilizokuwa zimeufunga usukani, kisha wakatweka tanga moja mbele kushika upepo, wakaelekea ufukoni.
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.
Lakini walifika mahali ambapo mikondo miwili ya bahari hukutana, na meli ikakwama. Sehemu ya mbele ilikuwa imezama mchangani bila kutikisika. Sehemu ya nyuma ya meli ilianza kuvunjika vipandevipande kwa mapigo ya nguvu ya mawimbi.
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.
Askari walitaka kuwaua wafungwa wote kwa kuogopa kwamba wangeogelea hadi pwani na kutoroka.
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.
Lakini kwa vile yule ofisajeshi alitaka kumwokoa Paulo, aliwazuia wasifanye hivyo. Aliamuru wale waliojua kuogelea waruke kutoka melini na kuogelea hadi pwani,
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.
na wengine wafuate wakijishikilia kwenye mbao au kwenye vipande vya meli iliyovunjika. Ndivyo sisi sote tulivyofika salama pwani.
