Masengo 27
1 Paŵalamwile kuti tujaule ku Italia ni ngalaŵa ŵammisile che Paolo pamo ni ŵatawe ŵane mmakono ga che Juliasi, juŵaliji jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mumpingo waukuŵilanjikwa “Mpingo wa Agusto.”
And as it was determined that we should set sail into Italy, they delivered Paul, and some other prisoners, to a centurions of the Augustan Band, whose name was Julius.
2 Twakwesile ngalaŵa jekulungwa jijatyochelaga ku Adiliamiti, jijaliji chile kutanda ulendo kupitila mbwani ja chilambo cha ku Asia ni twatandite ulendo. Che Alisitako mundu jwa ku Makedonia kutyochela ku Sesalonike ŵalongene noweji.
And going on board a ship of Adramyttis, we weighed anchor, intending to sail by the coasts of Asia; Aristarchus, a Macedonian, of Thessalonica, being with us.
3 Lyuŵa lyaaŵili twaiche ku Sidoni ni ngalaŵa. Nipele che Juliasi ŵaapanganichisye yambone che Paolo, ŵalesile ajaule kwa achambusangagwe kuti apegwe yaikwasoŵa.
And the next day we reached Sidon: and Julius, treating Paul with great humanity, permitted him to go to his friends, and to enjoy the benefit of their care.
4 Kutyochela kweleko twajendelechele ni ulendo, ni twapite mungulugulu chilumba cha Kupulo tuchilisepusyaga ni mbungo jijaliji jininkupuga nnope kutyochela paujo petu.
And weighing anchor thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Twajombweche bahali ja Kilikia ni Pamfilia ni twaiche mmusi wa Mila chilambo cha ku Likia.
And sailing through the sea over against Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Ni kweleko jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵajisimene ngalaŵa jekulungwa jichikopochelaga ku Alekisandilia kwaula ku Italia, nombejo ŵatujinjisye mwelemo.
And there, the centurion, finding a ship of Alexandria, bound for italy, put us on board of it.
7 Twajesile mbolembole moŵa gamajinji ni twaiche pachiŵandi ni Nido nkulaga. Pakuŵa mbungo jatusiŵilile kuendelechela ni twapite kusini kwa chilumba cha Kilete kuŵandikana ni Salomone.
And when we had sailed slowly for several days, and were hardly got over against Cnidus, the wind now permitting us; we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone:
8 Twapite mumbwani kwa kulaga ni twaiche peuto papakuŵilanjikwa “Bandari jambone,” pachiŵandi musi wa Lasea.
and passing it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called the Fair Havens, in the neighborhood of which, was the city of Lasea.
9 Gaapite moŵa gamajinji ni moŵa gakutaŵa gaapite, ni twaliji mmoŵa ga kogoya kuendelechela ni ulendo wa mu ngalaŵa. Nipele che Paolo ŵaajamwiche achitiji,
And, as much time was spent, and sailing was now hazardous, because the fast was already over, Paul exhorted them,
10 “Achalongo achinjangu, nguwona kuti ulendo wu chiuŵe wa kogoya ni kusoyesya indu, ngaŵa kwa ndundu ni ngalaŵa pe, nambo kwa umi wetu nombe.”
saying to them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be attended with injury and great damage, not only to the lading and to the ship, but also to our lives.
11 Nambo jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵagapikanile nnope maloŵe ga juŵalongosyaga ngalaŵa ni nsyene ngalaŵa kupunda maloŵe gaŵaŵechete che Paolo gala.
But the centurion paid greater regard to the pilot, and the master of the vessel, than to those things which were spoken by Paul.
12 Pakuŵa bandari jo nganijiŵa jambone kutama moŵa ga mbepo, ŵandu ŵaŵatupile ŵajitichisye kuendelechela ni ulendo yakombolekaga aichanje ku Finikisi ni kutama kweleko katema ka mbepo ko. Finikisi jili bandari ja Kilete jajilolite kwiŵanda ni kwichela.
And as the haven was not commodious to winter in, the greater part advised to set sail from thence, if they might possibly reach Phenice, to winter there;
13 Mbungo ja kusi jatandite kupuga ni ŵaganisisye kuti chakombole kutendekanya iŵasachile yo. Nipele ŵanyakwile nanga ni kuŵika mu ngalaŵa, ŵajendelechele ni ulendo ŵapite mbwani kwa mbwani ni kwika ku mbwani ja Kilete.
which is a haven of Crete, looking to the southwest and northwest: and as the south win blew gently, supposing they were secure of their purpose, they weighed anchor, and sailed on close to Crete.
14 Nambo pangakaŵa, mbungo jekulungwa jati mpela chimbunga jajikuŵilanjikwa “Mbungo ja kaskazi” japujile kutyochela ku chilumba.
But not long after, there arose against her a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon.
15 Ngalaŵa jila jagombilwe ni mbungo, nombejo nganijikombola kujipunda mbungo, nipele twajilesile jiseleleche ni mbungo.
And as the ship was violently hurried away, and was not able to bear up against the wind, we gave her up, and were driven.
16 Nkwenda mo twapite upande wa kusini mwa chilumba chachinandi liina lyakwe Kauda, twakombwele kwakulimba nnope kugopola ntumbwi wa kwakulupuchisya ŵandu mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa jila.
An running under a certain island, called Clauda, we were hardly able to get masters of the boat:
17 Achikatumetume ŵaali mu ngalaŵa ŵala paŵanyakulile ntumbwi ula nkati, ŵautaŵilile mu ngalaŵa jila ni ngonji kuulimbisya kuti unajonasiche ni mbungo. Ni pakuŵa ŵajogopaga kutitimila munsanga wejinji mu mbwani ja Libia, kwa yele ŵagatulwisye matanga ni ŵagambaga kwenda pe ni mbungo.
which, when they had hoisted up, they used helps, undergirding the ship: and fearing, lest they should fall upon the quicksands, they struck sail, and so were driven.
18 Mbungo jekulungwa jila jajendelechele kupuga ni malaŵi jakwe ŵatandite kwasila ndundu mu bahali.
And we were exceedingly tossed by the storm, the next day they lightened the ship:
19 Ni lyuŵa lyaatatu ŵajasile ni makono gao achinsyene yoombo ya mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa.
and the third day we cast out, with our own hands, the tackling of the ship.
20 Moŵa gamajinji nganitukombola kuliwona lyuŵa atamuno ndondwa ni mbungo jekulungwa jila japundile nnope. Chilolelo chose chati tutulame chamasile.
Now, as neither sun nor stars appeared for several days, and no small tempest pressed upon us, all remainder of hope that we might be delivered, was taken away.
21 Paŵatemi pangalya moŵa gamajinji, wajimi che Paolo pasikati pao ni kuti, “Achambusanga ŵangu nkambikanichisye une kuti kasintyoka ku Kilete ngankalaje kwantinyi ni kupotesya indu yi.
And when there was great want of food, then Paul, standing in the midst of them, said, Sirs, you ought to have hearkened to me, and not to have loosed from Crete, and incurred this injury and loss.
22 Sambano ngunchondelela, nkamulichisye ntima pakuŵa ngapagwa jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe juchawe nambo ngalaŵa pe ni jichijijonasiche.
Nevertheless, even now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shall be no loss of any life among you; but only of the ship.
23 Pakuŵa chilo katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Akunnungu, Akunnungu jwandesile une kuŵa jwao ni jungwapopelela ŵangopochele,
For there appeared to me this night, an angel of the God whose I am, and whom I worship,
24 ni kuusalila, ‘Kasinjogopa che Paolo! Ikuŵajilwa mmwejo kwima paujo pa Mwenye jwa ku Loma. Kwaligongo lyenu mwe Akunnungu chiŵakulupusye wose ŵaali mu ulendo pamo nomwe.’
saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be presented before Cesar; and, behold, God has given you all them that sail with you.
25 Nipele nkamulichisye ntima, pakuŵa ngwakulupilila Akunnungu kuti chiitendekwe mpela indite pakusalilwa.
Wherefore, take courage, men; for I trust in God that it shall be so, even as it was told me.
26 Nambo chituponyekwe pa chilumba chimo.”
But we must be cast upon a certain island.
27 Chilo cha lyuŵa lya kumi na nne twaliji tuninkukwekwelemya akuno ni akunokuno ni meesi mu bahali ja Mediteleniani. Chilo nnope achikatumetume ŵaali mu ngalaŵa ŵaganisisye kuti tuŵandichile munsanga.
And when the fourteenth night was come, as we were tossed up and down in the Adriatic sea, the mariners suspected, about midnight that they drew near to some land;
28 Nipele ŵatulwisye ngoji wawataŵilile chindu chakutopela achisakaga kupima amanyilile ipatite kwendesya ni ŵapatile makono alobaini. Kanyuma kanandi ŵapimile sooni ni ŵapatile makono selasini.
and sounding, they found it twenty fathoms: and having gone a little way from thence, and sounding again, they found it fifteen fathoms.
29 Ni pakuŵa ŵajogopaga kukwama papali ni lwala, ŵatulwisye nanga ncheche sya kunyuma kwa ngalaŵa ni kupopela kuti kucheje.
And fearing lest they should fall upon some rocky shore, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished that the day would break.
30 Ni ŵaŵalongosyaga ngalaŵa ŵala ŵasachile kutila kutyochela mu ngalaŵa ni ŵautulwisye ntumbwi ula achinamanilaga akutulusya nanga sya paujo.
But when the mariners endeavored to flee out of the ship, and had let down the boat into the sea, under pretense that they were about to carry out anchors from the ship-head;
31 Nambo che Paolo ŵansalile jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula pamo ni ŵangondo ŵane, “Iŵaga ŵanyaŵa ngaatama mu ngalaŵa ngankulupuswa.”
Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, Unless these continue in the ship, you can not be saved.
32 Papopo ŵangondo ŵala ŵakatile migoji jijakamulile ntumbwi ni ŵaulesile ujigalikwe ni meesi.
Then the soldiers cut off the cords of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 Kukanaŵe kucha che Paolo ŵachondelele wose kuti alye chakulya achitiji, “Lelo jino lyuŵa lya kumi na nne ntemi ni sala nli nkulolela, pangalya chindu chachili chose.
And while the day was coming on, Paul exhorted them all to take some food, saying, To-day, whilst waiting for this fourteenth day, you continue fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Nipele ngunchondelela nlye, pakuŵa chichinkulupusye kuti nkawa. Pakuŵa ngalujasika namuno luumbo lumo lwa pa mitwe jenu.”
I exhort you, therefore, to take a refreshment; for this is conducive to your safety: for not a hair shall fall from the head of any of you.
35 Che Paolo paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵajigele nkate, nipele ŵatogolele Akunnungu paujo pa wose, ŵagaŵenye ni kutanda kulya.
And when he had spoke thus, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God, before them all; and having broken it, he began to eat.
36 Nipele wose ŵakamulisye ntima, nombewo ŵalile.
And being all encouraged, they also took some food.
37 Ŵatwaliji mu ngalaŵa twaliji ŵandu mia mbili ni sabini na sita.
And we were in the ship, in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 Patwalile wose ni kwikuta, ŵajijalwisye ngalaŵa jekulungwa kwakwasila ngano mu bahali.
And being satisfied with food, they lightened the ship; and cast the corn into the sea.
39 Pakwachele ŵaŵalongosyaga ngalaŵa ŵala nganachimanyilila chilambo chila, nambo ŵauweni nsanga ku mbwani. Nipele ŵasachile kujijimika ngalaŵa kweleko naga chakombole.
And when it was day, they did not know the land: but they perceived a certain creek, with a shore, into which they determined, if they were able, to force the ship.
40 Ŵakatile ngonji sya nanga ni kusileka mu bahali ni ŵagopwele ngonji sisyataŵikwe pa usukani ni kwinamukula tanga ja paujo pa ngalaŵa kuti jikamule mbungo ni kwajausya ku mbwani.
And having cut off the anchors, leaving them in the sea, they, at the same time, loosing the rudder bands, and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, pressed toward the shore.
41 Nambo ŵaiche pamalekano pagachingangene matala gaŵili ga meesi ga bahali ni ngalaŵa jatanjile palapala. Upaande wa paujo pa ngalaŵa watitimile munsanga pangali kutinganyika, nambo upaande wa panyuma watandite kutemeka kwa ligongo lya machili ga matumbela.
But falling on a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground, and the fore part stuck fast, and remained immovable, while the hinder part was broken by the force of the waves.
42 Ŵangondo ŵasachile ŵaulaje ŵataŵikwe wose atakojelela ŵane ni kutila.
And the counsel of the soldiers was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim away, and escape.
43 Nambo jwankulu jwa ŵangondo achisakaga kwakulupusya che Paolo, ŵaalekasisye ŵangondo akatenda yeleyo. Ŵalamwile ŵaakukombola kojelela alilechelele mmeesi ni kwika kunsanga.
But the centurion, being desirous to save Paul, hindered them from their purpose, and commanded those that could swim, to throw themselves out first, into the sea, and get away to land:
44 Ni ŵaakusigalila wo, ŵane akamulile mbao ni ŵane ipitingwa iyatemeche mu ngalaŵa. Iyoyo ŵandu wose ŵaiche kwa chitendewele ku nsanga.
and the remainder, some upon planks, and others upon some of the things of the ship. And so it happened that they all got safe to land.
