Guncei 27
1 Itali ram lah long hoi na cei han na ti pouh awh navah, Pawl hoi alouke thongkabawtnaw hai siangpahrang e ransa hu thung e ransabawi Julius koevah a poe awh.
Now when it was decided that we should sail for Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the imperial cohort.
2 Asia ram long kâhatnae kho koe lahoi pou ka cet hane long ka kâcui awh teh ka cei awh. Masidonia ram Thesalon tami Aristarkas hai kaimouh hoi a cei van.
So we embarked in a ship of Atramytium, being about to sail to points along the Asian coast, and we put to sea; Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, was with us.
3 Atangtho teh Sidon ka pha awh. Julius ni Pawl hah a lungma dawkvah a huinaw koe a ceisak teh ahnimae khetyawtnae hah a coe sak.
The next day we landed at Sidon; Julius treated Paul kindly and permitted him to go to his friends and receive care.
4 Haw hoi vah ka tâco awh teh kahlî hah kaimouh koe lah a kamlang dawkvah Saipras tuilum e kahlî a uepnae koe lahoi ka cei awh.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Hahoi Cilicia hoi Pamfilia tueng koe ka raka awh teh Licia khopui Mira vah ka pha awh.
And when we had sailed across the sea that is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we landed at Myra in Lycia.
6 Haw tueng vah ransabawi ni Alexandria kho hoi Itali kho lah ka cet hane long buet touh a hmu teh hote long dawkvah na kâcui sak awh.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy and put us on board.
7 Hnin kapap hnawn payai lahoi ka cei awh teh rucat laihoi Kanidas kho teng ka pha thai awh. Kaimouh teh kahlî kecu dawk patuen ka cei thai awh hoeh dawkvah, Krete tuilum kahlî a uepnae koe lahoi ka cei awh teh Salmon talaidawn koehoi pet ka cei awh.
When we had sailed slowly many days and scarcely arrived opposite Cnidus, the wind did not allow us to go forward, so we sailed for the lee of Crete by way of Salmone;
8 Tuipui rai lahoi nganga pou ka cei awh teh Lasea kho teng lungmawng tie long kâhatnae hmuen koe ka pha awh.
sailing along it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the town of Lasea.
9 Haw e hmuen koevah hnin moi kasawlah ka roe awh teh rawcahainae hnin hai aloum toung dawkvah, hmalah cei hane hai taki a tho dawkvah Pawl ni na hroecoe awh atipouh.
Much time had been lost and sailing was already dangerous, because even the Fast had already taken place; Paul repeatedly warned them
10 Hmaunawnghanaw hete tuipui dawk ceinae heh long hoi hnopainaw dawk dueng laipalah, maimae hringnae dawk hai runae na poe hanelah ao tie hah ka hmu telah a dei.
saying, “Men, I perceive that the voyage is about to be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but even of our lives.”
11 Hateiteh ransabawi ni Pawl e lawk hah tang laipalah, long kamawngkung hoi long katawnkung e lawk hah bet atanghnawn.
But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and ship owner rather than by what Paul said.
12 Hote long kâhatnae koe vah kasik thapa thung pueng o hanelah a coung hoeh dawkvah, tami kapap ni kanîloumaka lah hoi kanîloumatung lah pou cei vaiteh, Krete tuilum e Finik hmuen koe pha han a ngai awh. Hawvah kasik thapa pueng o hanelah a pouk awh.
And since the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised sailing on, to see if they could get to Phoenix in order to winter, it being a harbor of Crete facing southwest and northwest.
13 Akalah hoi kahlî a tho toteh khokhang awh e patetlah akuep han doeh telah a pouk awh. Hatdawkvah sumtaai hah a phawk awh teh, Krete tuilum teng lahoi a cei awh.
So when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 Hateiteh, atueng a ro hoehnahlan vah kanîtho koe lahoi yah, Euroquilo kahlî katang e hah a tho.
But not long after, a cyclonic wind blasted down from the land (it is called Euroclydon).
15 Long ni kahlî a hmang thai hoeh toung dawkvah longhni pueng ka rasu awh teh, kahlî ni a paleknae koe doeh ka cei awh toe.
Well the ship was caught and could not head into the wind, so we gave up and were driven along.
16 Kawda tuilum teng, kahlî a uepnae koe ka pha awh toteh, ka ru poung lahoi hloutnae longca hah ka kuet thai awh.
Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we barely managed to secure the skiff;
17 Hote longca hah Long van vah a pâhung awh teh long hah acak nahanlah rui hoi kacaklah a katek awh. Sadi mon dawkvah hmang payon vai ati awh teh lukkarei longhni a rahnoum sak awh teh long hah kahlî a palek sak awh.
when they had hoisted it aboard, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing that they might fall into the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and so were driven along.
18 Kaimouh teh kahlî ni puenghoi na hmang awh dawkvah, atangtho teh long dawk e hnonaw hah a tâkhawng awh.
We were being so violently battered by the storm that the next day they began to jettison things,
19 Apâthum hnin teh amamae kut hoi long dawk e hnonaw hah a tâkhawng awh.
and on the third we threw off the ship's tackle with our own hands.
20 A hnin moi kasawlah Kanî, Âsinaw hmawt awh hoeh. Tâlî hai hoehoe a tho dawkvah, a hnukteng teh hlout awh han doeh tie ngaihawinae pueng a kahma toe.
When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a major storm was still pounding us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
21 Hottelah taminaw teh rawca laipalah kasawlah ao awh dawkvah, Pawl teh ahnimouh hmalah a kangdue teh, hmaunawnghanaw kaie lawk hah na ngai a lah, Krete tuilum koehoi tâcawt laipalah awm awh pawiteh, hete runae hoi sungnae pueng heh kâhmo awh mahoeh ei.
Now after long abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said: “Well men, it would have been better to take my advice and not sail from Crete, only to ‘gain’ this damage and loss.
22 Hatei atuteh na lungpout awh han awh, telah na dei pouh awh. Nangmouh thung dawk hoi api buet touh boehai na dout a mahoeh, long dueng doeh rawk tih.
But now I urge you to take heart, because there will be no loss of life among you, only of the ship.
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai na katawnkung ka bawk e Cathut e kalvantami ni paduem tangmin vah ka teng a kangdue teh,
This night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood by me
24 Pawl, na lungpuen hanh, siangpahrang hmalah na kangdue mingming han doeh. Hahoi Cathut ni nang hoi rei ka tho e pueng hai na kut dawk na poe toe a ti.
and said: ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. Furthermore, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’
25 Hatdawkvah ka huinaw na lungpout a hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na dei pouh e patetlah ao han tie Cathut kâuep laihoi ka yuem doeh.
So take courage, men, because I believe in God that it will be just as it was told me.
26 Maimouh hai tuilum buetbuet touh dawk long heh a mang han toe telah Pawl ni a dei.
Also, we must run aground on a certain island.”
27 Hnin hlaipali hnin tangmin a pha navah kaimouh teh Adria tuipui dawk kâpayo awh lahun navah, karumsaning a pha toteh long teh tui kongteng buetbuet touh hoi a hnai toe telah ka pouk awh teh,
Now when the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven here and there in the Adriatic, about midnight the sailors sensed that they were nearing some land.
28 tui hah ka bangnue awh bo teh, lam 20 touh a dung tie ka panue awh. Dongdeng o hnukkhu bout ka bangnue awh bo teh, lam hlaipanga touh a dung e ka panue awh
They took a sounding and found twenty fathoms; going on a little they took a sounding again and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Ahnimouh teh lungsongnaw hmang langvaih tie a taki awh dawkvah, sumtaai pali touh a pabo awh teh, khodai lawiseh telah a ratoum awh.
So fearing that we might be driven into a rocky area, they dropped four anchors from the stern and started praying for day to come.
30 Long kamawngnaw teh yawng hanelah a kâcai awh dawkvah, sumtaai ka pabawt e boiboe lah a kâsak awh teh hloutnae longca hah a rui a rasu awh.
Now under pretense of putting out anchors from the prow, the sailors lowered the skiff into the sea, intending to flee from the ship;
31 Pawl ni ransabawi hoi ransanaw koevah, long thung na awm awh hoeh pawiteh, na hlout awh mahoeh atipouh.
so Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.”
32 Hattoteh ransanaw ni hloutnae longca a ruinaw thoukthouk a tâtueng pouh teh tui thung a pabo awh.
Then the soldiers severed the ropes of the skiff and let it fall away.
33 Khodai tawmlei nah Pawl ni abuemlah bu ca hane a dei pouh teh, nangmouh hah bu na cahoehnae hah atuvah hnin hlaipali touh a pha toe.
While the day was coming on, Paul started urging them all to receive food, saying: “Today is the fourteenth day of waiting—you continue without eating, having taken nothing.
34 Hatdawkvah bu na ca awh nahanlah kai ni hroecoe awh. Hot hateh nangmouh na hlout awh nahane doeh. Nangmae na lû dawk e sam buet touh boehai kahmat mahoeh atipouh.
Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, because this is for our survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.”
35 Hettelah a dei hnukkhu vah, Pawl ni vaiyei hah a la teh abuemlae hmalah Cathut koe lunghawi lawk a dei hnukkhu vaiyei a raen teh a ca.
Upon saying this he picked up some bread and gave thanks to God in front of them all; then he broke it and began to eat.
36 Hattoteh ahnimanaw abuemlah ni hai a thahmei awh teh a ca awh.
So they all were encouraged and took food themselves.
37 Long dawkvah tami 276 touh ao awh.
(In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.)
38 Rawca kaboumlah a ca awh hnukkhu long dawk e catunnaw hah tui dawk a tâkhawng awh.
So when they had eaten enough, they started lightening the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Khodai torei teh haw e a hmuen teh panuek awh hoeh eiteh, a kawngteng kaawm e a takin koe lah long kâhat sak hanlah a kâpan awh.
When it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a bay with a beach, onto which they planned to run the ship, if possible.
40 Hahoi sumtaainaw hah a rasu awh teh tui dawk a pabo awh, mawngnae acung rui kalennaw a rasu awh teh, longhni a thung awh teh a kawngteng lah a cei awh.
Casting off the anchors they left them in the sea, at the same time untying the rudder ropes; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
41 Hatei Long teh tuicapa kahni touh kâcunae koe a pha dawkvah, long e a lû teh sadi van a deng teh, kâhuen thai hoeh toe. Ataknaw teh tuicapa ni a hem dawk koung a rawk.
But they fell into a place where two seas met and ran the vessel aground; the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the violence of the waves.
42 Ransanaw ni thongkabawtnaw pueng yawng awh langvaih, hatdawkvah be thei han toe telah a pouk.
Now the plan of the soldiers was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim away and escape.
43 Hateiteh, ransabawi ni Pawl hlout sak hanelah a ngai dawkvah, ahnimae pouknae a ngang pouh teh, tui kale thainaw hmaloe a kawngteng lah kale sak hane,
But the centurion, wanting to save Paul, stopped them from doing it and ordered those who could swim to jump in first and go toward the land,
44 alouke taminaw ni thingphek raboung naseh. Long dawk e hnopai buetbuet touh nakunghai, kuet laihoi kale hanelah kâ a poe. Hettelah hoi abuemlahoi kongteng lah runae awm laipalah koung a hlout awh.
followed by the rest, some on planks and some on things from the ship. And in this way they all escaped safely to the land.
