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 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 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 Adramyttium, about to sail along the coasts of Asia, we put to sea; 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 landed at Sidon; and Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him leave to go to his friends, and receive their care.
4 Kutyochela kweleko twajendelechele ni ulendo, ni twapite mungulugulu chilumba cha Kupulo tuchilisepusyaga ni mbungo jijaliji jininkupuga nnope kutyochela paujo petu.
And thence putting to sea, 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 having sailed over the sea along 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 about to sail 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 sailing slowly some days, and having with difficulty arrived over against Cnidus, the wind not permitting us to put in, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
8 Twapite mumbwani kwa kulaga ni twaiche peuto papakuŵilanjikwa “Bandari jambone,” pachiŵandi musi wa Lasea.
and coasting along it with difficulty we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city 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 much time having been spent, and the voyage being now dangerous, because the Fast had already gone by, Paul advised 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, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with injury and much loss, not only of the lading and the ship, but also of 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 believed the master and the owner of the ship more than what was 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 harbor was not well situated for wintering, the greater part advised to sail thence also, if by any means they might reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, looking toward the southwest and northwest, and there winter.
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.
And when a south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and coasted along close by Crete.
14 Nambo pangakaŵa, mbungo jekulungwa jati mpela chimbunga jajikuŵilanjikwa “Mbungo ja kaskazi” japujile kutyochela ku chilumba.
But not long after, there rushed against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
15 Ngalaŵa jila jagombilwe ni mbungo, nombejo nganijikombola kujipunda mbungo, nipele twajilesile jiseleleche ni mbungo.
And the ship being caught, and unable to face the wind, we gave up to it, and were driven along.
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.
And running under a certain small island called Clauda, we were hardly able to get possession 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 taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and fearing lest they should run into the Syrtis, they lowered the sail and so were driven.
18 Mbungo jekulungwa jila jajendelechele kupuga ni malaŵi jakwe ŵatandite kwasila ndundu mu bahali.
And as we were violently tempest-tossed, the next day they began to lighten the vessel;
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 movables of the ship.
20 Moŵa gamajinji nganitukombola kuliwona lyuŵa atamuno ndondwa ni mbungo jekulungwa jila japundile nnope. Chilolelo chose chati tutulame chamasile.
And as neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest lay on us, thenceforward all hope that we should be saved 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 after there had been much abstinence from food, Paul stood up in the midst of them and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened to me, and not have put to sea from Crete, nod thus brought upon yourselves this injury and loss.
22 Sambano ngunchondelela, nkamulichisye ntima pakuŵa ngapagwa jwalijose mwa ŵanyamwe juchawe nambo ngalaŵa pe ni jichijijonasiche.
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer; for there will be no loss of 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 stood by me this night an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
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! Thou must stand before Caesar; and lo, God hath given thee all those that sail with thee.
25 Nipele nkamulichisye ntima, pakuŵa ngwakulupilila Akunnungu kuti chiitendekwe mpela indite pakusalilwa.
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it will be just as it hath been told me.
26 Nambo chituponyekwe pa chilumba chimo.”
But we must be cast upon some 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 had come on, as we were driven onward in the Adriatic sea, about midnight the sailors suspected that they were near some country;
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 twenty fathoms; and having gone a little further and sounded again, they found fifteen fathoms;
29 Ni pakuŵa ŵajogopaga kukwama papali ni lwala, ŵatulwisye nanga ncheche sya kunyuma kwa ngalaŵa ni kupopela kuti kucheje.
then fearing lest we should fall upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for day.
30 Ni ŵaŵalongosyaga ngalaŵa ŵala ŵasachile kutila kutyochela mu ngalaŵa ni ŵautulwisye ntumbwi ula achinamanilaga akutulusya nanga sya paujo.
And as the sailors were seeking means to escape from the ship, when they had lowered the boat into the sea, under the pretence that they were about to carry out anchors from the foreship,
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 to the soldiers, If these men do not stay in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32 Papopo ŵangondo ŵala ŵakatile migoji jijakamulile ntumbwi ni ŵaulesile ujigalikwe ni meesi.
Then the soldiers cut off the ropes 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 food; saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye have waited, and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
34 Nipele ngunchondelela nlye, pakuŵa chichinkulupusye kuti nkawa. Pakuŵa ngalujasika namuno luumbo lumo lwa pa mitwe jenu.”
Wherefore I exhort you to take food; for this is for your safety; for there shall not a hair be lost from the head of one of you.
35 Che Paolo paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo ŵajigele nkate, nipele ŵatogolele Akunnungu paujo pa wose, ŵagaŵenye ni kutanda kulya.
And having thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and having broken it, he began to eat.
36 Nipele wose ŵakamulisye ntima, nombewo ŵalile.
Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took food.
37 Ŵatwaliji mu ngalaŵa twaliji ŵandu mia mbili ni sabini na sita.
And there were of us in the ship in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38 Patwalile wose ni kwikuta, ŵajijalwisye ngalaŵa jekulungwa kwakwasila ngano mu bahali.
And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the grain 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 observed a certain creek having a beach, into which they determined, if possible, to run 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 cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea, and at the same time unfastening the rudder-bands, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made toward the beach.
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.
And falling into a place having the sea on both sides, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the stern was breaking to pieces with the violence [[of the waves]].
42 Ŵangondo ŵasachile ŵaulaje ŵataŵikwe wose atakojelela ŵane ni kutila.
And on the part of the soldiers there was a plan to kill the prisoners, lest any one should swim out 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, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and ordered those who could swim to cast themselves first into the sea, and get 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 rest, some on boards, and others on something from the ship. And in this way it came to pass, that they all escaped safe to land.
