Sawltakte 27
1 Italy ah teambaw taw pai tu a ki khensat zawkciang in, amate in Paul le a dang thongtak te sia Augustus ngalkaphon sung ah zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa Julius kung ah ap uh hi.
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 Taciang Adramyttium tembaw sung ah ka tum uh a, Asia ngam tuipi dung zui in pai tu ka kipan uh hi; Macedonia ngam Thessalonica khua mi Aristarchus a kici khat zong kote taw hong ki thawl hi.
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 A zingciang in Sidon ah ka tawlnga uh hi. Taciang Julius in Paul sia phat vawt a, a lawmte kung ah pai in, ama le ama thathak la tu in suaktatak in ap hi.
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 Tua mun pan in ka ki patkik uh ciang in, koma sang ah hui hongpai ahikom Cyprus nuai pan in ka pai uh hi.
And thence putting to sea, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Cilicia le Pamphylia tuipi tung ah ka pai zawk uh ciang, Lycia ngam khuapi Myra ka theng uh hi.
And having sailed over the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Tua mun ah zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa in Italy a pai tu Alexandria tembaw mu a; tua tembaw sung ah hong tumsak hi.
And there the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria about to sail for Italy, put us on board of it.
7 Taciang dadam in ni tampi sung ka pai zawk uh ciang in, Cnidus tangtan haksatak in ka theng uh hi, hui in hong khak ahikom in, Crete tuikul nuai pan Salmone tangtan in ka pai uh hi;
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 Taciang haksatak in ka kantan uh a, A Pha Tembaw Tawlngakna Mun, a kici na mun ka theng uh hi; tua mun sia Lasea khuapi taw ki nai hi.
and coasting along it with difficulty we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city Lasea.
9 Tu in hun tampi ka zak zawk uh ciang in, antan hun zong bo zo a, tembaw taw khualhaw tu sia lauhuai hi, ci in Paul in kidopna tu son hi,
And much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised them,
10 Taciang amate tung ah, hi tembaw taw khual haw tu sia vanpuak te le tembaw atu bek hi ngawl in, eite nuntakna dong in haksatna le siatsuana tampi om tu hi, ci i he hi, ci hi.
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 Ahihang zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa in Paul i thu te sang in, tembaw hawlpa le a neipa thu um zaw hi.
But the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was spoken by Paul.
12 Tua tembaw tawlngakna mun sia phalbi hun sung om natu pha ngawl ahikom, ahi thei le Phenice thet dong paisuak tu a, tua mun ah phalbi sung theampo om tu sia a tamzaw in ngaisutna pia uh hi; tasia sia Crete tembaw tawlngakna mun hi a, nitum na thangsang le nitumna saksang maingat in om hi.
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 Taciang thangsang pan hui in hongseam va hiau a, amate in a ngealna theng zo hi, ci ngaisun uh a, Crete nai na pan in pai uh hi.
And when a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete.
14 Ahihang a hai ngawl in, Euroclydon a kici sumpei bang in huipi hong ki nuai ngawp hi.
But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 Ka tembaw uh sia hui in nuaicip a, tua hui nawk zo ngawl ahikom in, hui in a ukna mun theampo ah hong paipui hi.
And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven along.
16 Clauda a kici tuikul nuai pan in ka pai uh laitak in, haksatak in ngunkuang ka dom uh a;
And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession of the boat;
17 Tembaw tung ah ka domto zawk uh ciang in, tembaw a kho natu in ngunkuang sia khau taw hen hi; taciang senneal tam na mun ah tembaw awk tu lau uh ahikom tembaw puankhak te khiasuk uh a, hui in a uk na munpo ah hong paipui hi.
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 Huipi in nasiatak in hong nuaicip veve ahikom in, a zingciang in tembaw zaangsak uh hi;
And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;
19 Taciang ni thum na ciang in kote i khut vateak taw in tembaw vanpuak te ka vawk uh hi.
and the third day we cast out with our own hands the movables of the ship.
20 Taciang ni tampi sung ni le aksi te ki mu nawn ngawl a, huipi nasiatak in hong vak lai ciang in, ka suatak natu uh lametna theampo bosiat zo hi.
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 Ahihang an ne ngawl in ngei mama ka om zawk uh ciang, Paul sia amate laizang ah ding a, ka thu nong man tu uh hi napi, Crete pan in pai ngawl hileang, hi haksatna le supna te i thuak batu hi.
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 Tuin thinnuamtak in om tu in kong hanthawn hi: banghangziam cile tembaw simngawl, note sung ah mihing khat zong i nuntakna bo ngawl tu hi.
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 Banghangziam cile tuzan in keima hong nei le a na ka sepsak Pathian vantungmi ka kung ah hong ding a,
For there stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
24 Paul awng, lau heak in; nangma sia Caesar mai ah hong paipui hamtang tu khi hi: taciang, en in, nangma taw tembaw tung khualhaw te theampo Pathian in hong pia zo hi, hong ci hi.
saying, Fear not, Paul! Thou must stand before Caesar; and lo, God hath given thee all those that sail with thee.
25 Tua ahikom, thinnuam in om vun: banghangziam cile Pathian in keima hong sonsa bang in tangtung tu hi, ci ka um hi.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it will be just as it hath been told me.
26 Ahihang tuikul khatpo ah hui in hong vawk hamtang tu hi, ci hi.
But we must be cast upon some island.
27 Ahihang zan sawm le zan ni na ciang in, Adria tuipi sung ah hong loksuk lokto in hong paipui a, zankim laitak pawl in tembaw naseam te in tuihui lei ki nai zo hi, ci muangmaw uh hi;
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 Taciang tui a te uh ciang in pi za le kul thuk hi, ci he uh hi: taciang tawm a khuala zawhiat a pai zawkciang in te kik a, pi sawmkua thuk hi, ci he uh hi.
and sounding, they found twenty fathoms; and having gone a little further and sounded again, they found fifteen fathoms;
29 Tua zawkciang in tembaw in suangpi a taithak tu a lau uh hu in, tembaw nungsang pan thikkapui li khia uh a, khuavak tu in thu ka ngen khawm uh hi.
then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for day.
30 Taciang tembaw naseam te tembaw sung pan in a puasang ah tai sawm uh a, ngunkuang tuipi sung ah a khiak uh ciang in, tembaw lusang pan in thikkapui te khia tu bang in ki omsak uh hi,
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 in zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa le ngalkap te kung ah, hi mite tembaw sung a om nginge bua ahile, kuama suakta ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, If these men do not stay in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Tua zawkciang in ngalkap te in ngunkuang khii na khau te sattan a, ngunkuang khia uh hi.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 Khuavak dektak ciang in, Paul in amate vekpi an ne tu in thum a, tuni sia a kizom in antang in, bangma ne ngawl in na om uh ni sawm le ni li na hi zo hi.
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 Tua ahikom an tawmtek ne tu in kong thum hi: banghangziam cile hisia sia na dam natu uh a hihi: banghangziam cile na lu tung uh pan in samzam khat zong tong ngawl tu hi, ci hi.
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 Tabang a ci zawkciang in, anluum la a, amate vekpi i mai ah Pathian lungdam a ko zawkciang in: balnen in ne tu kipan hi.
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 Tua zawkciang in amate theampo thinnuam tek uh a, an tawmtek ne uh hi.
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took food.
37 Taciang tembaw sung ah mihing ka vekpi in zani le sawm sali le luk ka pha uh hi.
And there were of us in the ship in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 Amate an a kham in a neak tek zawkciang in, zungtang te sia tuipi sung ah vawk siat a, tembaw vanzaangsak hi.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the grain into the sea.
39 Taciang khua hong vak ciang in, koisung ngam ci ki he ngawl hi: ahihang amate in kingkoai khat sia valbo taw ki thua mu uh a, a suakthei le tua sung ah tembaw tumpui sawm uh hi.
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 Taciang thikkapui te sattan in tuipi sung ah nusia hi, taciang tembaw khiina khau te sut uh a, tembaw maisang puankhak sia hui i mut tu in khak uh hi, taciang tembaw sia tuihui sang ah paisak hi.
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 Tembaw sia tuipi ni ki siktua na mun ah theng a, tembaw sia senneal tung ah awksak uh hi; taciang a maisang sia senneal sung ah tumsak uh a, tung thei ngawl in awk hi, ahihang a nungsang sia tuihual hat mama in tamthamsak hi.
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 Ngalkap te in, thongtak te that siat tu in kikum uh hi, tabang hibale thongtak te tui op tu a, tai siat tu hi.
And on the part of the soldiers there was a plan to kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim out and escape.
43 Ahihang zakhat uk ngalkap mangpa in, Paul a ngup nop hu in, amate i ngealna khak a; tui op thiam peuma amasabel in tuisung ah leangsuk tu le tuihui dong op tu in thupia hi:
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 tanglai pawlkhat te sia thingpheak tung le pawlkhat te tembaw bek thingpheak te tung pan in tuihui ah bangma tat ngawl in theng siat uh hi.
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.
