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.
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 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.
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 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 gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
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.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city 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.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he 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 had come with difficulty opposite Cnidus, the wind not allowing us further, we sailed under the lee of Crete, opposite Salmone.
8 Tuipui rai lahoi nganga pou ka cei awh teh Lasea kho teng lungmawng tie long kâhatnae hmuen koe ka pha awh.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city 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.
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished 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.
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 Hateiteh ransabawi ni Pawl e lawk hah tang laipalah, long kamawngkung hoi long katawnkung e lawk hah bet atanghnawn.
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 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.
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 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.
When the south wind blew softly, 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 before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
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.
When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, 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 Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure 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.
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 Kaimouh teh kahlî ni puenghoi na hmang awh dawkvah, atangtho teh long dawk e hnonaw hah a tâkhawng awh.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Apâthum hnin teh amamae kut hoi long dawk e hnonaw hah a tâkhawng awh.
On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their 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 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 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.
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 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.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai na katawnkung ka bawk e Cathut e kalvantami ni paduem tangmin vah ka teng a kangdue teh,
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the 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. You must stand before Caesar. And look, 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.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just 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.
But 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,
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 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 soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings 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.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
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.
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 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, "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 cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it 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.
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 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 some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
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.
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 Hattoteh ahnimanaw abuemlah ni hai a thahmei awh teh a ca awh.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
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.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, 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 certain bay with a beach, and they decided to try to drive the ship onto it.
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. Hoisting up 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 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 Ransanaw ni thongkabawtnaw pueng yawng awh langvaih, hatdawkvah be thei han toe telah a pouk.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out 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, 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 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 should follow, some on planks, and some on other things from the ship. So it happened that they all escaped safely to the land.
