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 determined that we should sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul, and certain other prisoners, unto a centurion by name Julius, of an 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.
And, going on board a ship of Adramittium, about to sail unto the places along the coast of Asia, we put to sea, 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.
and, on the next day, we put into Zidon, —and Julius, treating Paul, kindly, gave him leave to go unto 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.
and, from thence putting out to sea, 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, sailing across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came down 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.
And the centurion, there, finding a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, put us therein.
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, for a good many days sailing slowly, and getting with difficulty over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us to get on, we sailed under the lee of Crete, over against Salmone;
8 Tuipui rai lahoi nganga pou ka cei awh teh Lasea kho teng lungmawng tie long kâhatnae hmuen koe ka pha awh.
and, with difficulty coasting it, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was 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.
And, when a considerable time had passed, and sailing was already dangerous, because, even the Fast, had already gone by, Paul began to advise,
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—Sirs! I perceive that, with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship, but even of our persons, shall the voyage certainly be attended.
11 Hateiteh ransabawi ni Pawl e lawk hah tang laipalah, long kamawngkung hoi long katawnkung e lawk hah bet atanghnawn.
But, the centurion, by the master, and by the shipowner, was more persuaded than by the things which, by Paul, were spoken.
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 harbour being, incommodious, to winter in, the more part, advised to put to sea from thence, if by any means they might be able to reach Phoenix, to winter, [which was] a harbour of Crete, looking north-east and south-east.
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, supposing they had secured their purpose, weighing anchor, they began to sail close in shore along Crete.
14 Hateiteh, atueng a ro hoehnahlan vah kanîtho koe lahoi yah, Euroquilo kahlî katang e hah a tho.
But, after no long time, there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, 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.
and, the ship being caught and we not being able to bring her head to the wind, we let her go, and were borne along.
16 Kawda tuilum teng, kahlî a uepnae koe ka pha awh toteh, ka ru poung lahoi hloutnae longca hah ka kuet thai awh.
And, running under the lee, of some small island, called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to make ourselves 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, hoisting up, they began to use, helps, under-girding the ship; and, fearing lest, on the sand-bank of Africa, they should run aground, lowering the gear, so, were they borne along.
18 Kaimouh teh kahlî ni puenghoi na hmang awh dawkvah, atangtho teh long dawk e hnonaw hah a tâkhawng awh.
But, we being exceedingly tempest-tossed, on the next day, they began to throw [cargo] overboard;
19 Apâthum hnin teh amamae kut hoi long dawk e hnonaw hah a tâkhawng awh.
and, on the third day, with their own hands, the tackling of the ship, they cast away.
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 many days, and, no small tempest, lying upon us, in the end, all hope that we should be saved, began to be taken from us.
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.
But, when they had been, long without food, then, Paul, standing in the midst of them, said—Ye ought, indeed, Sir! yielding to me, not to have sailed away from Crete, to get 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.
And, now, I recommend you to be of good courage; for, loss of life, shall there be, none at all, from among you, —only 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, belonging unto the God whose I am, unto whom also I am doing divine service, a messenger,
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—Be not afraid, Paul! for, before Caesar, must thou needs stand. And lo! God hath granted to thee as a favour, all them who are sailing with thee.
25 Hatdawkvah ka huinaw na lungpout a hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na dei pouh e patetlah ao han tie Cathut kâuep laihoi ka yuem doeh.
Wherefore, be of good courage, Sirs; for I believe in God—that, so, it shall be, according as it hath been told me.
26 Maimouh hai tuilum buetbuet touh dawk long heh a mang han toe telah Pawl ni a dei.
Upon a certain island, however, must we needs be wrecked.
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, had come, and we were being driven to and fro in the Adriatic, about midnight, the sailors suspected that some country was, nearing, 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, sounding, they found twenty fathoms, —and, going a little further, and again sounding, 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 haply, on rocky places, we should be wrecked, out of stern, cast they four anchors, —and began praying that day might dawn.
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.
But, when, the sailors, were seeking to flee out of the ship, and had lowered the boat into the sea, by pretext, as though out of the prow they had been about to reach anchors,
31 Pawl ni ransabawi hoi ransanaw koevah, long thung na awm awh hoeh pawiteh, na hlout awh mahoeh atipouh.
Paul said unto the centurion, and unto the soldiers—Except, these, abide in the ship, ye yourselves, 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 her 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 day was about to dawn, Paul continued to beseech one and all to take some food, saying—This day is, the fourteenth day, that, suspense, fasting, ye are completing, —having helped yourselves, to 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.
Wherefore, I beseech you to take some food, —for, this, lays a foundation for your safety; for, of no one of you, shall a hair of the head perish.
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 taken a loaf, he gave thanks unto God before all, and, breaking it, began to eat.
36 Hattoteh ahnimanaw abuemlah ni hai a thahmei awh teh a ca awh.
And, all becoming, of good cheer, they also, helped themselves to food.
37 Long dawkvah tami 276 touh ao awh.
Now we were, in the ship, in all, about seventy-six souls.
38 Rawca kaboumlah a ca awh hnukkhu long dawk e catunnaw hah tui dawk a tâkhawng awh.
And, when they were satisfied with food, they began lightening the ship, casting 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.
And, when day came, they could not recognise, the land; but perceived, a certain bay, having a beach, —upon which they were minded, if they could, safely to bring 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, casting off the anchors, they let them go into the sea, —at the same time, loosening the lashings of the rudders, and, 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, falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and, the foreship sticking fast, remained immoveable, while, the stern, began to break up, from the violence [of the waves].
42 Ransanaw ni thongkabawtnaw pueng yawng awh langvaih, hatdawkvah be thei han toe telah a pouk.
Now, the soldiers counsel, turned out to be, that they should kill, the prisoners, lest any one should 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, being minded to bring Paul safely through, hindered them of their purpose, and ordered such as were able to swim, to cast themselves overboard and, get first 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, on planks, and, some, on other things from the ship, …and, so, it came to pass, that, all, were brought safely through, on to the land.
