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.
And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus,
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.
and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being about to sail by the coasts of Asia, set sail, there being with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica,
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.
on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius, courteously treating Paul, permitted [him], having gone on to friends, to receive [their] 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.
And there, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus, because of the winds being contrary,
5 Hahoi Cilicia hoi Pamfilia tueng koe ka raka awh teh Licia khopui Mira vah ka pha awh.
and having sailed over the sea down by Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myria of 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.
and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria, sailing to Italy, put us into it,
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.
and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty coming down by Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete, down by Salmone,
8 Tuipui rai lahoi nganga pou ka cei awh teh Lasea kho teng lungmawng tie long kâhatnae hmuen koe ka pha awh.
and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
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.
And much time being spent, and the sailing now being dangerous—because of the fast also being already past—Paul was admonishing,
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 to them, “Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much damage, not only of the load and of the ship, but also of our lives—the voyage is about to be”;
11 Hateiteh ransabawi ni Pawl e lawk hah tang laipalah, long kamawngkung hoi long katawnkung e lawk hah bet atanghnawn.
but the centurion gave more credence to the pilot and to the shipowner than to the things spoken by Paul;
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 the haven being not well placed to winter in, the greater part gave counsel to sail from there, if somehow they might be able, having attained to Phoenix, to winter [there], [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the 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.
and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed close by Crete,
14 Hateiteh, atueng a ro hoehnahlan vah kanîtho koe lahoi yah, Euroquilo kahlî katang e hah a tho.
and not long after, there came down from it a turbulent wind [that] is called the 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.
and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up against the wind, having given [her] up, we were carried on,
16 Kawda tuilum teng, kahlî a uepnae koe ka pha awh toteh, ka ru poung lahoi hloutnae longca hah ka kuet thai awh.
and having run under a certain little island called Clauda, we were hardly able to become masters of the boat,
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.
which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they may fall into the [sandbars of] Syrtis, having let down the mast—so were carried on.
18 Kaimouh teh kahlî ni puenghoi na hmang awh dawkvah, atangtho teh long dawk e hnonaw hah a tâkhawng awh.
And we, being exceedingly storm-tossed, the succeeding [day] they were making a clearing,
19 Apâthum hnin teh amamae kut hoi long dawk e hnonaw hah a tâkhawng awh.
and on the third [day] we cast out the tackling of the ship 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.
and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not a little storm lying on us, from then on all hope was taken away of our being saved.
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.
And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood in the midst of them, said, “It was necessary, indeed, O men—having listened to me—not to set sail from Crete, and to save this hurt and damage;
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.
and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there will be no loss of life among you—but of the ship;
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai na katawnkung ka bawk e Cathut e kalvantami ni paduem tangmin vah ka teng a kangdue teh,
for this night there stood by me a messenger of God—whose I am, and whom I serve—
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.
saying, Do not be afraid Paul; it is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to you all those sailing 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.
for this reason be of good cheer, men! For I believe God, that so it will be, even as it has been spoken to me,
26 Maimouh hai tuilum buetbuet touh dawk long heh a mang han toe telah Pawl ni a dei.
and on a certain island it is necessary for us to be cast.”
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,
And when the fourteenth night came—we being carried up and down in the Adria—toward the middle of the night the sailors were supposing that some country drew near to them;
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
and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they 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.
and fearing lest we may fall on rough places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were wishing 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.
And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and having let down the boat to the sea, in pretense as [if] out of the prow they are about to cast anchors,
31 Pawl ni ransabawi hoi ransanaw koevah, long thung na awm awh hoeh pawiteh, na hlout awh mahoeh atipouh.
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “If these do not remain in the ship—you are not able to be saved”;
32 Hattoteh ransanaw ni hloutnae longca a ruinaw thoukthouk a tâtueng pouh teh tui thung a pabo awh.
then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and permitted it to fall off.
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.
And until the day was about to be, Paul was calling on all to partake of nourishment, saying, “Fourteen days today, waiting, you continue fasting, 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.
for this reason I call on you to take nourishment, for this is for your safety, for of not one of you will a hair fall from the head”;
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.
and having said these things, and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began to eat;
36 Hattoteh ahnimanaw abuemlah ni hai a thahmei awh teh a ca awh.
and all having become of good cheer, also took food themselves,
37 Long dawkvah tami 276 touh ao awh.
(and we were—all the souls in the ship—two hundred, seventy-six),
38 Rawca kaboumlah a ca awh hnukkhu long dawk e catunnaw hah tui dawk a tâkhawng awh.
and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were lightening the ship, casting forth 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.
And when the day came, they were not discerning the land, but were perceiving a certain bay having a beach, into which they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship,
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.
and having taken up the anchors, they were committing [it] to the sea, at the same time—having loosed the bands of the rudders, and having hoisted up the foresail to the wind—they were making for the shore,
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.
and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the ship aground, and the prow, indeed, having stuck fast, remained immoveable, but the stern was broken by the violence of the waves.
42 Ransanaw ni thongkabawtnaw pueng yawng awh langvaih, hatdawkvah be thei han toe telah a pouk.
And the soldiers’ counsel was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone having swam out should 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, resolving to save Paul, hindered them from the counsel, and commanded those able to swim, having cast themselves out first—to get to 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.
and the rest, some indeed on boards, and some on certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all came safe to the land.
