Tich Joote 27
1 Kane osengʼad wach ni onego okwangʼwa wadhi Italia, Paulo kod joma otwe mamoko noketi e lwet jatend jolweny moro ma nyinge Julias. Ngʼatno ema ne jatend oganda lweny mane iluongo ni Jorit Dala Ruoth.
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 Ne wadonjo ei yie moro moa Adramutio mane onego ogow e mier mamoko manie dho nam molworo piny Asia. Bangʼe ne wasiayo yie mi wawuok. Aristarko ja-Makedonia moa Thesalonika bende ne nikodwa.
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 Kinyne ne wagowo Sidon, kendo kanyo Julias notimo ngʼwono ni Paulo mi nomiye thuolo mar dhi ir osiepene mondo gimiye gik mane ochando.
The next day, we landed at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly, and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.
4 Kane waa kanyo to ne wasiayo yie e nam kendo, to nikech yamo mager ne kudho kochomowa tir, ne waluwo bath chula mar Saipras koma ogengʼore gi yamo.
Putting to sea from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
5 Kane wasekwangʼ wangʼado ataro mar nam, machiegni kod Kilikia gi Pamfilia, ne wagowo e dho wadh Mura, e piny Lukia.
When we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
6 Kanyo jatend jolweny nonwangʼo yie ja-Aleksandria moro madhi Italia, mi noketowa ei yieno.
There the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing for Italy, and he put us on board.
7 Ne wakwangʼ mos gi thagruok kuom ndalo mangʼeny nikech kwangʼ ne rach, eka achien ne wachopo machiegni gi dho wadh Sinido. Kaka yamo koro nomedore ma ok wanyal chome tir, ne wakwangʼ kwagengʼore e bath Krete, mochomore gi sori mar Salmone.
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 Ne wamedo kwangʼ gi thagruok ka waluwo bath nam mine wachopo kamoro miluongo ni Mbita Mokwe, but dala mar Lasea.
With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.
9 Kaka koro ne waseketho seche mathoth, to kwangʼ bende bedo marach, kendo kinde mag Sap Tweyo Chiemo bende nosekadho, Paulo nongʼado rieko ni jokwangʼ kowacho niya,
When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the Fast had now already gone by, Paul admonished them,
10 “Jowadwa, aneno ni ka wawuok ka, to wuodhwani biro bedo marach kendo yiewani kaachiel gi gik motingʼo biro kethore kendo wan bende wanyalo tho.”
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 To jatend jolweny ne ok odewo chik kata winjo gima Paulo ne owacho, makmana nowinjo mana wach wuon yie kod jatend yie.
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 Dho wath kanyo ne ok ber betie ndalo chwiri, omiyo thoth ji mane wan-go nongʼado wach mondo wadhi nyime gi kwangʼ, ka giparo ni ne wanyalo chopo Foinike mondo wabedie ndalo chwiri. Foinike ne en dho wadh Krete, momanyore gi milambo ma yo podho chiengʼ kod nyandwat ma yo podho chiengʼ.
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 Ka yamb milambo makudho mos nochako kudho, negiparo ni ne giseyudo gima negidwaro kendo ni wuodhgi koro ber, omiyo negibolo nanga e pi mine gichako kwangʼ ka giluwo tiend dho nam mar Krete.
When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.
14 To kane pok gikwangʼ mabor, yamb ahiti miluongo ni Yurakulo, nochako kudho matek koa e chulano.
But before long, a stormy wind beat down from shore, which is called Euraquilo.
15 Ahitino nomako yie motame muomo yamono, omiyo ne waweyo mondo yamo olok yie oterwa atera kuma okudho kochomo.
When the ship was caught, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
16 Kane oyudo wakalo e tiend chula moro matin miluongo ni Kauda, ne wabedo gi pek mar keto yie matin mar resruok kama ber, mondo kik okethre.
Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17 Kane chwo mane wan-go osekete ei yie maduongʼ mane wantie, negitweyo yie gi tonde molwore mondo kik obarre. To nikech negiluor ni yie ne nyalo terogi kuonde mathany-thany motimo kuoyo man e dho nam mar Afrika, ne giloro nanga mar yie mi giweye mondo yamo otere atera.
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 Ahiti nomedo goyo yie matek mi kinyne negichako wito gik mane ni ei yie e nam.
As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19 Odiechiengʼ mar adek, ne giwito ei nam gik moko duto michikogo yie.
On the third day, they threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.
20 Kuom ndalo mangʼeny, ne ok wanyal neno wangʼ chiengʼ kata sulwe, kendo yamo nomedo kudho matek mi geno duto mane oyudo wan-go ni dipo koreswa norumo chuth.
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 Kane ji koro oseriyo kech kuom ndalo mangʼeny, Paulo nochungʼ malo e nyimgi mowachonegi niya, “Jowadwa ka dine uwinj wachna ma wawe kwangʼ ka waa Krete, to dine utony mi ok uneno chandruok gi lal maduongʼ ma kama.
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 To koro akwayou ni umed bedo gi chir, nikech kata ngʼat achiel kuomu ok bi tho, makmana yie kende ema biro kethore.
Now I exhort you to cheer up, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.
23 Otieno mokalo, malaika mar Nyasaye, ma an ngʼate, kendo ma atiyone, nochungʼ batha,
For there stood by me this night an angel, belonging to the God whose I am and whom I serve,
24 mowachona ni, ‘Kik iluor Paulo, ibiro chopo nyaka nyim Kaisar mi yali kuno, nikech Nyasaye osemiyi kuom ngʼwonone, ngima ji duto makwangʼ kodi.’
saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar. And look, God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
25 Kuom mano, beduru gi chir, jowadwa, nikech ayie ni Nyasaye biro timo mana kaka nonyisa.
Therefore, sirs, cheer up. For I believe God, that it will be just as it has been spoken to me.
26 To ochunore ni yie nyaka moki e chula moro.”
But we must run aground on a certain island."
27 Otieno mar apar gangʼwen ne pod watangni mana e dier Nam mangʼongo mar Mediterania. To kane ochopo odiwuor tir, to jokwangʼ ne paro ni gisechopo e lowo motwo.
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 Omiyo ne giluto tol motwene kidi e pi, mi giyudo ni tut pigno romo fut mia achiel gi piero ariyo. Bangʼ mano negichako gipime mi ginwangʼo ni en fut piero ochiko.
They took soundings, and found twenty fathoms. After a little while, they took soundings again, and found fifteen fathoms.
29 Luoro nomakowa ni dipo ka watwomo lwanda. Omiyo negibolo nanga angʼwen yo kachien yie, eka gilemo mondo piny oyawre.
Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
30 Jokwangʼ notemo mondo gitony gia e yie, kendo negitemo mondo giket yie matin mar resruok e pi, ka giwuondore ni gidwaro bolo nanga moko yo ka wi yie.
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 Eka Paulo nowachone jatend jolweny kod jolweny duto niya, “Ka jogi ok osiko kodwa ei yie ka, to ok ubi tony.”
Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
32 Omiyo jolweny nongʼado tonde ma notwego yie matin mar resruok, mi giweyo yieno okwangʼ modhi.
Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the boat, and let it fall off.
33 Kane piny chiegni yawore, Paulo nosayo jokwangʼ duto mondo ochiem, kowachonegi niya, “Kuom ndalo apar gangʼwen mosekadho, usebedo ka unie chandruok ma ok nunyal chiemo.
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 Koro yieuru koda mondo uchamie gimoro matin mondo ubed mangima. Awachonu ni onge ngʼato kata achiel kuomu mabiro wito kata mana yie wiye achiel.”
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 Kane osewacho mano, nokawo makati mi ogoyo ni Nyasaye erokamano e nyimgi giduto. Eka nongʼingo makatino mochako chiemo.
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 Jogo chunygi noduogo, mi ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi nokawo chiemo mondo ocham.
Then they all cheered up, and they also took food.
37 Kar romb ji duto mane ni e yie ne gin mia ariyo gi piero abiriyo gauchiel.
In all, we were two hundred seventy-six souls on the ship.
38 Kane ji duto osechiemo moyiengʼ, ne giwito cham duto modongʼ e nam mondo yie odongʼ mayot.
When they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, throwing out the wheat into the sea.
39 Kane piny oseyawore, jokwangʼ ne ok ongʼeyo piny mane gintie, to negineno mbita moro motimo kwoyo; mi giparo mondo gichom yie kuno mondo kanyalore to gimoki bute.
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 Negingʼado tonde motwego nanga mi gibolo e nam bangʼe gingʼado tonde mane omakgo ngai. Bangʼ mano negichungo tanga yo ka wi yie, bangʼe gisiayo yie ka gichomo dho wath.
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 To gikanyo yie notuomo kuoyo mathany-thany momoko ti. Eka yo ka wiye nomako matek ma ok nyal yukni, kendo apaka nogoyo yo kachien yieno mi obarore matindo tindo.
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 Jolweny ne dwaro nego joma otwe mondo ogengʼ gi kik gigo abal mi giring gitony.
The soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, so that none of them would swim out and escape.
43 To nikech jatendgi ne dwaro reso ngima Paulo, notamogi ni kik gineg-gi. Nogol chik mondo ngʼato angʼata mane nyalo goyo abal nyaka e dho wath okuong ochikre e pi mondo odhiyo.
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 Eka joma odongʼ ne biro luwo bangʼ-gi ka jomoko omako mberni, to moko omako bepe mane owuok e yie mane osebarore. Kamano e kaka ne wachopo e lowo motwo waduto ka wangima.
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.
